He is nothing crazy but can be pretty helpful for progressing accounts. His evade is pretty good safety net.
He's fun, but not all that effective.
There are a couple of useful things about him: He can't be struck whilst dashing back; which means he can still use 'Dexterity' when champions or nodes switch off Dexterity. Whilst his bleed damage isn't amazing, it's pretty respectable; and his insta-bleeds are perfectly effective against champions like Thing, or opponents like Magneto or Corvus who reduce the damage of Bleed debuffs. And he's at least a slightly irritating defender.
P.S. His Evade ability goes a bit nuts if he's in a team with Classic Spidey. Combined with his dashback ability, he can start avoiding complete SP1s from War Machine or Punisher-2099.
You want to use Swashbuckling mode for him (dash back and hold until it says he's changed), this is his offensive style. If you have Havok, his synergy starts you in swashbuckling mode and increases the chance for those instantly bleeds which makes him pretty good to be fair.

Just keep using Archangel
