He's another of the game's over 100 mid-tier champions.
There are at least two every month. I think we may never again see a champion who's useful in every scenario. The focus has increasingly been on champions for extremely specific scenarios or focused on specific defenders.
He's more of a counter to Onslaught and mutants in general. I'd say he was specifically designed for Captain Britain and her Neuroshocks.
He'll be a reasonable defender; it seems the cosmic ones handle him without any major issues.
Unfortunately, all the versatile champions have fallen victim to Rarity Lock: Kate Bishop, Hulkling, Hercules, Magik, Quake, Ghost, Valkyrie, Scorpion, Absorbing Man...
There's no point in expecting anything like this from new champions. Not every champion needs to be versatile or extremely good on offense. But I got the feeling his rotation is very slow. I didn't feel like using him at all.

Obviously there are more than three, but I’d like to focus on three things that currently reduce my day to day game enjoyment.

1. Loading Times: This is becoming an epidemic for me and at least a batch of others. Wait times starting a fight, completing a fight, ranking a champ, moving in quests…it’s just a holding pattern while the spinning disc continues to spin around. Personally haven’t ever seen it this bad, but it affects boosts, rhythm, time spent playing, etc.

2. Currencies: I realize there’s an ongoing effort to simplify game currencies, but it feels like there’s no effort to sort out some currencies. Mysterium is the most obvious, but I’d put loyalty up there also. Stores need an update—period. If I’m playing at least in part to earn currencies that aren’t worth anything for me, that makes me want to play modes less or not at all.

3. Cadences: More than just one thing here—for starters, the decision to decouple start times for EQ/SQ from updates adversely affects timing of game play. I’m often unsure when something drops and I consider myself reasonably well-informed. Also, Crystal inclusion timing—having champs remain in the Titan for the same time as human gestation was a fun experiment, but it’s way too long and devalues Titans. I will also suggest other random cadence things (Solvarch dropped on a Thursday after update, buffs that take super long times, e.g.). All of this makes it more difficult to play the game without stressing about schedules and planning.

I don’t expect any of these are simple fixes, but when I think about things that seem more controllable (as opposed to things like lag and game mechanics, which I’ve given up on), these three items feel somewhat approachable with a bit of effort.
