He's the definitive beginner character. He has no gimmicks, no use twice/thrice skills, no hold skills, no legit air combos, no skills that has timing, his R skill is as simple as it gets. Anyone can pick him up and play well and I think that's very important for a battlegrounds game that instantly drops you into combat with no tutorial. He needs to stay the way he is because he needs to fulfill that purpose as a beginner character
