We're not asking for Sentry to be super powerful or amazing, just for him to be a decent, viable champ for niche uses, as you claimed he would be. At his current state, he is not even good for what you promised, which is for "long fights" and "niche" uses. He is not good for any kind of fight or situation. None. This is very sad.
He starts off weak, but with 5 warps and his state active, he still does not get that huge burst of power as was suggested. Storm can hit that hard with her specials, and hers is not dependent on 30% chance. And even for Storm, she is a decent champ, not a highly desired champ.
His states at 30% is very low. Numerically, it doesn't sound so bad, but in practice, it rarely procs. There are already many people that have fought WS and have videos that prove this. It feels like 5%, not 30%. This needs to be improved. And we've tried this fight after fight, not just a few isolated fights where we were unlucky. Why can't this percentage be improved when he doesn't really get that much of a damage boost even when the state is active?
I know there is a lot on the plate right now, and maybe the priority is to revisit older champs like Rulk and LC. I guess this is fair, but please consider Sentry in line for an adjustment. It wouldn't even require new mechanics or abilities, just the tweaking of a few numbers such as his attack and chance to proc states.
