I like Hydroid but he's undeniably one of the weakest frames in the entire game. Look at his stat comparison chart right on this wiki, he's sub-par in everything, which there is a good reason for. He used to have the highest stamina in the game, but he recieved no stat adjustments to compensate when stamina was removed. What happens when you create something specialized and then make the specialization obsolete? You get a middle-aged man in a crisis without a job. There's literally no reason to use him, pretty all other frames bring something in high level content, like trials or just high level farming, but Hydroid, even when running him with max redirection, he'll get killed by lvl 40 corrupted gunners in seconds and one shot by bombards. His abilities do almost no dmg, even his ult (go, go magnetic), the CC they provide is mediocre at best and his augments, apart from Pilfering Swarm, are entirely useless. Other frames are better at healing without augments and even though his Proc immunity potential is unique, its duration is so low you'll need to spam it constantly, which he doesn't have energy to do and you'll be nothing else (Yes take my word for this, I've played Hydroid for 45 % ish of my total play time, most of it with a unique Support Hydroid with Puddle and Tidal augments).
