In my opinion Magik is not a walk down main and brawl hero, her gameplay loop instead mainly revolves around flanking to apply pressure, force cooldowns, and secure picks. To do this, you ofc have to be conservative with your dash (esp if they have antidive), or save a portal with an escape plan in mind after a dive. My typical gameply loop revolves around throwing a Magik slash or placing a demon on the enemy tanks to build overshield and immediately setting up a dive to the backline.
Yet most Magik’s I see just hug their tank and place demons on the enemy tanks, thus feeding the enemy support’s ult charge. Even worse they try to play her like Bucky and just peel 24/7 for the supports. Im not saying peeling is necessarily a bad thing to do with Magik, but if your spending most of your time in a match with your team then your playing Magik wrong imo. Bucky would be a more appropriate character for this playstyle instead.
There are moments for brawling with your tanks, but flanking helps creates space for your team, and has overall more impact than frontlining and slashing at the enemy tank mindlessly.
