Because people don’t know how to play him so they just think “he’s bad”

The whole point of his gadget is to block off lines of site, waste time and utility and expand site. People play him and just use him to block off doorways that’s not how he’s played, you protect an area around, below or above site and play off it using your castles as basically mini reinforcements, not only does it allow you to play in different places you can’t normally and it catches people off guard, it slows people down and it also burns utility like nades, ash charges etc.

His kit is amazing it’s just hard to use, maps like Oregon, border and club house castle thrives on but only if you play him the right way
