Potential Delay to v44.1 Launch
We are currently working through some issues that may affect the release window of v44.1. This means that the update may not release on Monday as it usually does. We are working to resolve the issue holding us up as quickly as possible, but will keep you all updated, especially if the delay results in any changes to the content release schedule.

I’ve lucked into these 2, are they as big of duds as I’ve heard?

Purgatory yes
These two are average champions. They have some utility, solid damage and get the job done. Are there better ones? Surely. But if you want to rank these up, you won't throw the resources into the bin.
Both are useable; and do stuff. Both potentially useful for early/developing rosters; it's just that they don't really bring anything particularly unique to a developed rosters. Also, people thought they were getting a 'playable Maestro', and Morningstar 2.0, which explains a degree of disappointment.
But that's true for a lot of champs. If you like these champs, they're serviceable, and far from a waste of resources. They've also both got really great Animations (kudos to the animation team!), and that alone makes them fun to play with.
I don't know Purgatory well; but trying Overseer out, he's actually got a lot of damage tucked away*, more when he's Awakened; Autoblocks; counters Masochism nodes; can totally shut down Regeneration if you run Despair, has a useful Taunt, and surprisingly good AAR for a Science champ (at 6 Gamma charges, his Disorient reduces Defensive ability accuracy by 80%, plus he can easily reduce Special OAA by 70%; so there go a lot of tricky effects like Juggernauts Unstoppable; Warlocks Power Drain, Doom's Aura of Haazareth, etc).
*but it's little red numbers instead of BIG YELLOW NUMBERS, so doesn't get the same attention. It adds up, though...
I'd give them a try before you give up on them. Maybe you'll like them?

I tested out purgatory today since she is awakened, and her special two in Demonic Rampage is not too bad. Interested to learn more about her soul capture.
