pretty sure he is implying that a charge on banshees 2 would make it workable.. aka, what it is now.. and without a charge it would be like half the range and 1/10th the damage boost.. aka, useless. Similar to vaubans 1. and, afaik Vauban is the only frame to use charge and duration on their abilities, with ability duration only affecting one of those, so you effectively cannot increase the duration of your abilities. his 1 literally lasts 30s rank 30 with constant enemies, and 40s on a straight cooldown.. and all ability duration CAN DO is increase that 30s to match the 40s straight cooldown, plus the 0.75 for each charge used. So he  gets a straight cap on ability duration, which afaik no other  ability has.

And legit banshee's 4 is an aoe good/decent damage CC with  almost twice the range of vaubans 3 with no enemy limitation, and 3.3X the range of vaubans 4, and lasts for half as long with the same energy cost, not counting the augment. and unlike vaubans 4, doesn't have a reduced range increase based on mods.
