Skye - What do y'all think needs to be nerfed, and how?

I think we can all agree that Skye's kit is currently a bit overloaded. 2 forms of information gathering, a controllable pop flash that she can swing off of, an AoE team heal and not to mention a 6 point ult that provides even more information. Even a sub-par Skye player can get decent value out of her kit, which says a lot.

Personally, I think that reverting the change that removed the hand animation to pop the flash would be a good start. It made it more difficult to swing off her own flashes, which adds a bit of mastery to being able to pop flash for herself. Second, I think the ult should definitely go up to 7 points; 6 points is ridiculous for how much impact it can bring. If that doesn't do it, the final nerf I'd suggest is not having her flashes recharge. That one will have much more impact than the other 2 in my opinion, seeing as having either 3 birds (like before) or having them recharge gives her more freedom to use them for information gathering.

What do you guys think? What needs to happen to Skye to bring her power levels down? Should K/O and Breach be buffed instead?
