Is Blade still relevant in 2020?

Do you guys think he's overrated now and not relevant anymore in 2020? Or do you feel like he is still a valuable champion?

In terms of his use for a player’s story progression Act 5 bosses are either Mystics, Villains or Dimension beings with a few exceptions. Act 6 is the same deal, the difference being you do need those synergies at 5*, rather than any rarity. If you can tap into his Danger sense his damage output, even against bleed immune champions is still very good, certainly comparable with the traditional damage dealers like Domino etc.
Awakened he is a walking credit card for any player - you never need to pop more than a 20% revive against 90% of matchups.
His ability to semi-shut down villains/Dimensional beings is invaluable in many scenarios, especially champions like Modok (6k mediums please and less autoblock, yes please).
You can take him on immunity lanes with a degree of success if you don’t throw specials because of his shrugging debuffs based on power (they need to bleed for this to be viable).
TLDR - he’s still one of the top champions in the game, well worth a generic, especially if you’ve got a lot of content to clear through. I have used him in virtually every quest (if not Lane) at some point throughout Act 6.
He also has uses on certain paths in current end game content. I used him quite a fair bit in Act 6 and he provided a solution to some of the more difficult paths in the Act 7 beta that others couldn’t handle.
A champ who’s a top choice for much path 6.1? No, but he still has his uses
