He's not terrible if played melee. Still the worst frame in the game imo. But really solid melee frame if he could get some kind of damage amplification. Tidal surge in, double tap undertow for the knockdown, then let the randomness of 1 and 4 do their cc work while u spam melee. Having the most unreliable cc in the game means he's the most unreliable frame, sadly enough. And no, negative range doesnt fix much. It makes his skills easier to control, but then you have no protection from other mobs killing you while that small focused group is cc'ed. He's just the bottom of the barrel. And i hate saying that cuz i love him.

I do think to fix him would be easy enough though. tempest barage knocking down in its entire radius' and not just where the water hits. His 2 should be a togglable spell thats movement can be controlled. Imagine that change where he can drag an entire wave of enemies into something like a vauban vortex. His 3 should also be a team amplification spell. Like when he puddles and they're standing on him, they get increased damage, reload speed or something. Should be a big boost since he's giving up his position for potential dps to increase his teams. His 4 should make it so that the kraken doesnt even need to grab enemies. It can just slam the ground, giving little two second rhino stomps per slam. in its radius.

There you go DE. Youre welcome.
