He's a very cool character and must be a powerful hero!
He has skills that work well on defense, but on offense he's really bad.
He has no easy access to any utilities and his playstyle is absolutely terrible! You have to go back and forward to accumulate furies, wait for the unblockable and shoot sp2 before the unblockable ends. But if you wait the opponent special, unblockable ends or you go on third bar of power. Really?
This is uselessy frustrating, he may works on stupid fights like rol's, but in hard matches, with hard nodes, in the REAL matches, he's totally useless.
No huge damage, no easy utilities, no funny playstyle.
His realistic utility in high level contents is ZERO.
Honestly, would you take him in act 7 instead of hyper, cgr, angela, medusa, cmm, Corvus, venom, vision, red goblin, terrax, venom the duck ...?
How can be good a buffed character that is more useless than half cosmic class??

Added some rotation.
And completely change that dashing back going forward thing from his kit. He would his buff would have been useful.
His kit with his play style is very impractical and non user friendly with AI
And Angela had close to 0 utility beforehand, just buffs and regen. Nova had far more potential and they dropped the ball.
"While you’re not going to get the Champion you want every time, each Champion should have a place in the game, and there should be value in every pull."
"As the roster continues to grow, we want to make sure that every Champion has its place in the meta."
I'm struggling to see how this little change in DPS fit in there, because
1) Nova already had a place in defense, that's not going to change with the update.
2) It won't change him in attack all that much either (if at all) because its play style is impractical where it matters and has close to zero utility.
So what was the purpose of this change then?. I'm genuinely confused and it would be great to have some comments from the dev team about it.
- Terrax went from a noodle to a hard hitting champion, with all of the past strong utility he had (double immune, armor breaks, power gain)
- P2099 went from a super stressful power control champion to a very useful power control champion, as it is quite easy to keep up your battery and lock the opponent of 90% of their power. His damage now no longer scales down either, meaning his damage is great throughout all of overdrive, which can sometimes last the entire fight.
- Carnage went from one of the biggest disappointments in the game (noodle) to much stronger buffs, making his damage insane. In fact, he is one of the highest DPS in the entire game. Yes, he could use more utility, but it was a great buff.
- DDHK went from 0 relevant utility and damage to solid utility and decent damage. Not near the top of his class, but a decent champion. He has uses now.
- YJ went from having 0 utility to having tons of utility, some of the most utility in the game in fact.
- Logan became a better champion after his buff, as his furies are easy to ramp up and he has other neat abilities. Not the best, but a solid midtier option.
Civil Warrior is the only one I can agree with on this list, as his value in my opinion remained the same. He now loses his utility in armor ups to gain fury, which is stressful to keep up. I did not like his update at all, I wish they made a mechanic like Colossus' where the armor ups themselves granted the fury's damage bonus, eliminating the need for the entire stressful fury upkeep playstyle.
