How to deal with Psylocke

[RedMauler]

I'm a season 0 GM player in plat rn. I play Vanguard, mainly Strange and Magneto. I'm looking for help against Psylocke. I'm at a loss of words for how insanely not fun it is to deal with a half-decent Psy player.
My biggest issues I have against are her mobility, her hitbox, and her damage. She's so hard to catch out due to her mobility. Her flanks are so crazy and gain the attention of minimum 3 people. Can't really win a fight like that. She's exceptionally hard to hit given her small hitbox. You really gotta be in her face, but she's dashing out and goes invis. Lastly, she's such a hard hitter for a flank.
Thank you all for your tips, I don't want to label the character as a crutch/broken until I get more info. As it stands now, her and Bucky are just so not fun to go against lmfao.

If you're a GM you should know how to deal with Psylocke.

It boggles my mind how you don't know how. I'm Gold and I can deal with Psylocke.

You're a GM, you should know better than me. Any knowledge I share will be useless in the face of your greater skill.

Well, it's that Rocket has a ability that can revive people. His mobility is the icing on the cake. Adam Warlock can link heal but his cooldown is hard to manage and he has no mobility.

Best counter I've seen against Psylock is Mr Fantastic, she can't do ♥♥♥♥ to him unless she DPS's him to death before he notices her. Other than that, I don't think there's any playstyle that counters her well, other than maybe staying in pairs so you can fend her off when she ambushes.

Literally just go Winter Soldier. He's literally OP, can get 400 HP, has 2 CCs, and an ultimate that beats Psylocke's.

CC before invis or AOE after invis to break it

I totally agree he's broken haha. I play Tank normally so I am pretty limited. I normally try to go Cap and chase him but its so hit or miss

How to deal with psylocke is ez. Its called grouping and not being scared.

For example: dont solit when she ults. Group on your healers and her ult will do nothing since it will evenly split the damage between all 6 targets and prioritize shields. Furthermore dagger bubble can out eal the split damage easily.

Toss a blind on her etc.
So many options to remove her.

People keep giving advice, specific to a character, or telling you to switch characters (which isn't a bad idea), but the main thing you need to worry about, is positioning.
Run away from her, specifically towards your team, or a health pack, and don't move in a straight line. Make sure you always have an escape route, whether it's a Spiderman, Black Panther, or Psylocke diving you, always know where you can run away to.
Psylocke doesn't have great range, and her main ability, the dash, doesn't do damage if you just keep your distance, her main weapon recharges her dash, if you didn't know already, but recharges less, when she hits fewer shotgun pellets, so backing up is the main counter to her.

Yes because the experience is exactly the same at gold and GM. Sit down, be humble. You have no idea what you're talking about.
