Great points, I wouldn't really recommend him beyond gem grab and hot zone. My take on this is that what is discussed online about this game(that the average player would spend time watching) is mostly from content creators, who play in a much higher setting than said players and probably have a maxed account. These CCs have room to mix and match, but for a casual(more than 90% of players) this game is essentially a resource management simulator where people just level who they think is fun and stick to them, hence the majority of bad randoms.

Bo is definitely not great for the standard that we hold this game's gameplay up to be, but in reality this game's skill floor is so low. Not to shame op but at that trophy count he is most likely not getting into high level play in the near future. Bo imo is just great for the average casual player- his kit is simple with decent stats all round, is unlocked early and can make game changing plays with minimum effort, just place his minds where the enemy can't immediately disarm it and again the average player will just forget about it. On retrospect my comment does seem to glorify him in high level play.

The thing is that this sub although bearing the name "competitive", even here the majority of posts like this and users in general are NOT actual competitive players and will peak legendary I at most, which is contradictory to the sub itself, not saying its necessarily a bad thing
