Is The Leader any good?

I just got The Leader out of my Titian Crystal from the Battlegrounds Realm Event, and I am currently working through Act 6 Chapter 2. Will he be of any use to me?

So no,
Dead on arrival champion.
Little value as bgs/aw defender, speaking with experience both used and fought against
He’s a utility champ with meh damage. I don’t think fixing the door will be enough to make a difference. He needs some more damage somewhere to be more used.
I have him at R2 and use him questing if the path has power gain or a lot of regen but only because I have him at R2. He’s not the best option for either of those kinds of nodes/champs.
He’s too slow for BG attack and he’s no real threat on defense other than being mildly tanky. Just keep him pinned in the corner and you can avoid the door, at least as it is right now.
As an owner of 7* leader, he needs a buff
OP Leader is fine. Not meta defining but he’s solid enough for now, especially since you’re still in act 6. His regen and ability power control is great, debuff spam that ignores purify gets you out of a lot of binds, and his damage isn’t unusable especially since it’s degen that most champs can’t prevent. In target matchups it’s actually fairly good. Solid war attacker this meta because he inflicts so many debuffs and ignores a bunch of the anti-debuff nodes like conflictor. I don’t rate him as highly without the dupe because it slows his ramp and the steadfast is a really nice piece of utility to lose out on but he’s still capable.
His steadfast against mystics is solid but he is far behind in science class. I also pulled him and he looks very mid to me.
Also count is released close to leader and he does whatever leader does but with better damage.
I personally think they screwed up with the leader/nefaria thing, for how similar they are, they were released way too close together.
And I’ve already said that I dislike the whole “Leader is worse Nefaria” because I don’t find it a true statement but we can ignore that for now.
Science class is stacked up and dominated, hell even Overseer and Joe fixit sp1 rotation damage outclass Leader.
So tell us why a regular player will waste resources on champion which Kabam intentionally scuffed out?
Makes no sense in holding him so back when Hulk exists who finish every single fights in ONE BIG CLAP 👏
or defender like spot and Photon where 1 mistake means game over.
He is just bad designed.
I also never said that Leader is perfect as is, which you also seem to think I did. I think Leader deserves a tune up. I talk about it in my personal review of the champ; I’d say read it if you’re interested but you clearly aren’t, so just find it in my forum profile and skim it until you find the part where I discuss ways to buff him. I’m not interested in engaging with you any further at this point, if you want to have an actual discussion you can start by not dunking on strawmen and arguing against my actual points.
