How am I supposed to deal with Reyna?

I feel like her flashes are just badly designed in general. You either have the choice of just repositioning or moving off the angle to shoot them, which are BOTH options that just put me at a disadvantage.

I don't even understand how people can say something like she's a bad pick and has bad utility when she literally has two flashes that go through walls and ALSO don't teamflash.

I've seen too many Reynas that go for absolute trash plays like using their flashes into fracture B site from tower, which isn't a bad play initially, BUT then they go into wideswing, into crouch, into fullspray, into easy pick because it doesn't even matter how you react to the flash since it feels like it's always checkmate for her. The heal just adds more fuel to the fire.

So how am I supposed to deal with her? I feel like every move against her is a complete coinflip..She feels even worse and way more frustrating to play against than pre nerf chamber.

I might be extremely selective here, but I've seen way too many diamond 3 or ASC 2 Reynas literally crouch every gunfight that they're getting into and I'm tired of seeing bad mechanics that reward you just because the character has clear design flaws

Edit: Yes, I've seen Reyna players who pull the same plays off with a quick jiggle onetap after tossing their leers into a dead angle for the opponent, which is no doubt super impressive, but the BS I've mentioned literally has the same effect.
