I agree, Dormammu is definitely a utility champion. He used to be an AW defense nightmare, but Blade knocked him down a peg. The adjustment to Mystic Dispersion was the final nail in the coffin for him as a defender. (we still haven't heard the results of his performance pre vs. post MD change, Kabam). As such, he's an ok defender, but I'm not sure he even cracks the top 10 anymore.
That said, I've been looking for uses outside of AW Defense for Dormammu as I really like the champ. I'm fine with his damage being on the low side due to his utility. And as someone mentioned, he's much more than just your typical MLLLM champ in order to get the most out of him. You need to properly use his heavies to detonate soul bonds and you need to use different specials in different situations to make proper use of his Soul Leech ability. Couple all that with regular hits and a skilled player can get some respectable damage output from him.
HOWEVER...
His block proficiency is abysmal. This is especially a problem considering you will be relying on a lot of parry stuns in order to place/detonate soul bonds for offensive purposes. This means in endgame content, he's losing a good chunk of health even if he doesn't receive any hits. I've always thought that was weird that he has a low Block Proficiency anyway. He's throwing up a mystic shield so the enemy isn't making contact with Dormammu's body when he blocks. Even if they did, they'd be hitting what looks to be solid rock. When looking at it that way, I'd think his block proficiency would be pretty high.
To sum up, Dormammu lost a lot of clout when Mystic Dispersion was changed. Rather than raising his attack, I think bumping up his block proficiency would make him usable in endgame content again.
