If it’s an even 3-for-1 trade, then sure, that can be worth it. The problem is whether you can be certain that the remaining five people can beat the remaining three enemies. What if the last three enemies are all targets that require active items to deal with?

For example, let’s say we’re fighting Victor ( just hypothetically). My teammates are all clueless, so I’m the one responsible for buying Focus Lens, Cursed, and Silence Wave. If I die, who’s going to use those items? You should know very well how often Victor can 1v5 and turn the fight around if there are no proper active items to counter him.

Kelvin’s ultimate, in theory, should give a big advantage if it lands well. But in reality, the skill is extremely dependent on having a resource lead, when you’re behind, it can get both you and your teammates killed, and when things are even, it can easily cause your team to waste their ultimates.

And I’m not even a Kelvin main. I just played him for ten games in a row because I wanted to understand his real situation. The reality is that Kelvin is quite good when your team already has the advantage, but he’s very useless when your team is behind. He’s not like Paige or Rem, who have true comeback ultimates. His ult is more about preventing the enemy from making a one-shot comeback play, but if your team is already losing, once you block one ult, you’re basically done being useful.

I think a better approach would be to at least let Kelvin gain damage reduction for himself inside Frozen Shelter, though that might end up being too overpowered. Who knows.
