What Dr. said, but also,


 * Easy to spot, so the Natasha cannot sneak behind enemies to take them out.


 * Not only is the Natasha a slow bot, but it is one of the slowest in the game. For comparison, the Rhino, which is the slowest, has a base speed of 30, and this is without Assault Mode. The Natasha is tied for second to last with the Fury. This means that almost any bot fighting a Natasha can dictate fighting distance, never letting the Natasha get to close, but keeping it just within firing distance (People can kite you).


 * Natasha was built for sniping. Just like the Butch and Fury, it has no shield and no outstandingly large health pool. It does actually have more than the Rhino and Lancelot, but those both have shields that can soak over a hundred thousand HP more, so those make up for it.

And the only advantage is the relatively large firepower, about the largest for any silver bot (i think).

But even this becomes overshadowed. The Griffin and Rhino can still outperform it with a PDB or DB setup, and the Lancelot and Fury both have higher firepower and can be better equipped for knifing.

Now, if you're winning with it, then it's probably because you're doing relatively good with a Thunder Natasha. But it just doesn't work well on paper.
