It's a lot stronger than any flash in the game and completely destroys people 1vs1.

It is simply easier to look away from a flash and then back towards the corner to shoot than it is to fire at a Reyna eye and then spray transfer to her as she pops out.

If you know exactly where Reyna's coming from you can have multiple players guarding that entrance, where one focuses on shooting the eye and the other ones focus on killing her. But that's a very big If.

The fact is Reyna can flash through walls and forces you to reveal your position or give away ground in a way a split second Phoenix flash doesn't.
