Genuine question: What's the difference between Silver Sable and Black Widow D.O?

Hey everyone,
I wanted to discuss Silver Sable's current kit and identity as a character in the Contest. It's no secret that Sable's animations and game mechanics feel like a blend of 4 different established characters (Black Widow, Kraven and Karolina Dean/The Leader). Sable attacks and shock damage are similar in style to Widow but her damage isn't that great. Her Sable mines feel like a less fun version of Kraven's traps, and the battlefield manipulation using the mines feels like a less successful version of what the Leader does with his Green Door or Karolina's sunshine mechanic.
What puzzles me is that she didn't get great synergies either. She's a mercenary who leads a successful enterprise called the "Wild Pack," which is connected to various organizations in the comics. You would think she would have synergies with Nick Fury (Shield Agents), Winter Soldier, Deadpool, Wilson Fisk, Joe Fixit, Baron Zemo, Modok, etc.
I don't mean to sound like I'm coming down on whoever created Silver Sable. The goal with this is to highlight areas where she could be improved in the future (through a buff perhaps?) Maybe she could use her sniper rifle or have a pre-fight for the sable mines that produce various effects (like corrosive fluid that reduces block proficiency and power burns a small portion of power over a delayed period, or perhaps a flashbang that prevents dexerity for a short period).
Overall, it would be cool to see her have her own identity in the game rather than taking elements from other characters.
What do you guys think?

She’s actually super fun to play.
So, she's got that going for her.
She so smooth. And those shocky shock bursts animation is cool.
Sp2 on those traps is satisfying to watch.
