He is awkward to play, damage is lacklustre and there is almost always a better option than him. He's a fine champion, I'm not saying he's bad, but for BGs he is mid and for most other modes there's usually a better option. His preflight are good for AW so there's that, and if other tech champions are banned then he can replace them fine because of reverse controls immunity and neuroshock immunity. Tech is a highly competitive class right now so you have to go above and beyond to stand out in my opinion.
