Honestly, I believe mag is a terrible choice for a starter frame.

-low survivability stats. she relies on limited CC and damage redirection to survive, which can actualy be very good later in the game.

-somewhat confusing abilities for new players. her 3 is hard to understand for someone new to the game; and 4 gets the bad habit of spending 100 energy to nuke -one- enemy to plague a new player's tactics early on.

-Very energy hungry, considering that a new player almost certainly doesn't have efficiency mods. this further leads to issues with survivability, since they lack understanding of the game and tend to receive more damage than necessary. not having the energy to cast abilities on demand results in a very punishing, frustrating experience for newbs who find themselves unable to cast abilities and then get mowed down due to very subpar survivability.

-requires properly modded builds and weapons in order to fully use her abilities. at this point, a new player will have either a braton or an MK1 Paris, and either MK1 Kunai or *EEEW* the Lato.

it's just a very unfair disservice. I get people saying they hate mag for all these reasons because they picked her up super early and didn't know how to properly use her, or, worse, didnt even have the mods to build her right. Mag is absurdly good in the right hands.
