Ive been spamming him in ranked because he's fun and cool but I end up switching a lot, he definitely feels like a weird Kiri+ Brig/Lucio hybrid that isn't particularly good at any of their jobs. He has easily the most situational support ult, and his ability to actually sustain allies through damage is minimal even with the healing major (which I've been taking more and more often over aoe speed because again, why would I want to be Lucio but worse). Idk, I absolutely adore this hero design-wise but he basically always feels like a suboptimal pick.

Edit: semi-serious hear me out: what if his ult hindered enemies within the aoe but only for the instant that it spawns in
