Finally found a use for Bishop

I r2'd Bishop right as the buff came out but I haven't found a proper place for him this month. He put in some solid work vs. Crossbones in the side quest but otherwise he hasn't been the best option for any content I've tried him in.
However, that changed today when I went up against the Platinumpool boss in 7.2.5. If you're not familiar with that boss, he immediately purifies any debuffs you place on him and then regenerates every 30 seconds if he didn't purify 10 or more debuffs. However, if he did, then he takes degen damage instead.
So why does Bishop work great? Well, not only does he deal a burst of damage every time his debuffs are purified, which does wonders in this fight, but he also absolutely spams his opponent with small incinerate debuffs after his SP1. They are quickly purified, and therefore quickly deal that burst damage, and quickly rack up the so-called Snack Charges necessary to degen Platinumpool.
Add to this the node (whatever it's called) that gives you stacking fury every time you end a combo with a different attack from the last combo-ending attack, and Platinumpool just melts.
Just be careful if Platinumpool pulls the Sumopool card. His ability to immediately punish my SP1 caught me off guard on a couple of occasions since I didn't know what was happening.
I just wanted to let you guys know. I'm sure there are a ton of other champs that can also put in a similar amount of work, but I was happy to finally have an amazing use for Bishop.
