"Loki is badly designed"

I love how you just slipped that in there. Like, for every one else you go to decent detail as to how they aren't asbroken. But loki? ahh no won't bother.

"Valkyr doesn't have CC"  What. Just because you don't build for her incredibly spammable 3 doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You don't even need to change much on a hysteria build to make it useful either.

"Wukong can't attack while invincible" This is more of a con for Valkyr than it is for Wukong. And its not even true for wukong either. get some good efficiency, high duration and rage and you are good to go. My build has 8 seconds of invulnerablility; it's great and there are zero limitations on weapons you can use. just toggle it every 3-5 activations.

I don't have much to say about inaros

yes a chroma is just as good if not better than nidus at damage mitigation and amplification

Nidus is just a healthy mix of things that scale well into late game. His energy is infinite, but he only he only has 2 abilities that use it. The only thing he brings to the table at every level is a decent CC. But don't act like its something its not. The CC has line of sight, and only catches enemies on first cast. In most maps you will miss a lot of enemies if aren't placing them well. The cast is also slighly annoying, as it has a delay before the projectile is launched, meaning that if you are moving it might not end up exactly where you want it to. You also have to wait for the duration to end before casting it again, punishing poor placement. sure you can go negative duration to make it more spammable but that makes using his other abilities more annoying. All in all it requires just enough skill to be powerful in a semi decent player's hands, but isn't game breakingly good.

His link is hardly anything to write home about. 90% DR and being chained to a 20 m radius? no thanks, I have a trinity and a mesa. I'll take that powerstrength buff any day. Which isn't even that much better. But hey, its fun to mess with speedvas right?

his 4 and 1 are damage abilites which require you to spam the hell out of them to get them to the point where you do good damage with them. Which is great, now I can actually use a damage ability past level 60 enemies. (how is this bad?)

also congrats for reading that much, or at least reading this sentence.

Can't argue much with the passives though, he sure has a lot of them.
