Just pulled North Star, is he the worst pull?

Everyone on YouTube says he’s pretty much pointless but I have literally no experience with him.

I hope he gets buffed but Kabam kinda sucks with buffing champs that need it this year so we’ll see
Personally I don't like playing speedsters, messes up my combo timing...
And don't rush to judgment - he's yet to go through rebalancing. The rebalancing program is a bit unpredictable; but can be great from time to time.
OP, I pulled him from a Titan about a month ago and I like him. He doesn’t require nearly as much ramp up as people are saying here, and while he isn’t exactly bursting with utility, what he does have is useful. And his damage output is genuinely incredible.
His ideal rotation is to build just below an sp3, and activate his speed burst with an sp2 right after dashing in. Fire off an sp1 shortly thereafter and it’ll pause all the bonuses the sp2 gave you while giving you a few more. Most fights are over at this point anyway. If not, you just gotta bounce between those two as necessary. The more crits you land on your sp1, the longer the pause you get is. That’s why I recommend a crit rating stat focus. Gambit relic also goes hard for him. Play around a bit and see how you like him, I hope this helps!
I’ve gotten are bad by any means but just not any that I was going for).
Finally. A sensible response!
In answer to your leading question, I’m going to go ahead and assume none have, and if they have, they’ve drawn their conclusion in a test against a particular WS.
After one sp2, ROL WS is at 64% health, meaning that he’s lost 36%. He has 547,774 health, so that translates to roughly 197,199 damage.
The follow up single combo and sp1 brings him down to 40%, which means the total damage done is 328,664 damage. I don’t know the average battlegrounds healthpool size off the top of my head, but I believe this is sufficient to clear a good number of matches, and it takes less than three bars of power (because activating speed boost with the sp2 means the sp2 doesn’t cost the full two bars).
Another tip that I forgot earlier: unless you need to apply his armor break against skill champions, do light ending combos. They help his ramp up more than medium enders do.
