You seem to misunderstand pretty much all of Obi's abilities I'm afraid...

While he's not a tank (and wether or not Paladins are tanks depends largely on what universe they're used in) he's got amazing crowd control and support abilities.

Smite is an instant hit to your target, applying knockdown and confusion while weakening nearby enemies with the seeking orbs, potentially making a group of enemies tear itself apart.

Hallowed Ground may do weak damage, but it's main use is the immunity to status effects for anyone standing on it, no knockdowns or pulls, with a 20% armor increase is nothing to be scoffed at.

Renewal is a heal first and foremost, with status cleanse and slowed bleedout being neat additional effects, only downside being the constant energy drain while the orbs travel if your team is spread too far apart.

Reckoning is crowd control, anything not killed is knocked down and confused, nearby enemies get blinded, either kill the the survivors yourself or let them take each other out.
