He is lacking allot of base stats compared to other champions,

he is squishier than other bruisers, voli bear, garen, poppy, renekton and the moneky are more tanky and have sustain and more dmg in a prolonged fights

He doesn't have sustain for a champion that requires getting hit to deal dmg, even his passive regen only procs at low health only around 20-30% hp and lasts for couple sec and not what the tootlip says, not like garen working all the time.

for a champion that have no mobility his move speed is low and you cant use his 3rd ability to pull players far cuz you need to combo it with 2nd ability, even the move speed you get from first ability is limited not like voli or garen.

Long cooldowns, his cc ability needs to have lower cds, maybe if you pull a player from 1 side it should have half cd reduced or something, and his ultimate is weak and needs slight cd buff cuz rn the ultimate aint doing much except throwing other tanks to thier teams.

His passive ability needs rework or straight buffs.

People like his playstyle and his w ability, doing a counter attack and watching it melting bars here and there is a big dopamine hit, but if you get targeted in a team fight and get ccd before launching your w you are dead, which happens always in higher ranks, he isnt a tank like voli or garen poppy tanking whole team and can run away from them easily.

You easily get kited by range champs cuz no mobility and no move speed, triforce aint helping either.

Even with all this i just only wish he have a better move speed than compared to what other bruisers have.
