Gah, people don't seem to understand what balancing means, so I'll explain it in short: Frames are generally split into 2 groups : Combat and Caster frames. Combat frames have medicore abilities and good stats, while caster frames generally have better abilities and medicore stats, even weak stats sometimes. Now, because Excal is a truly "Balanced" frame he has 0 weaknesses, but he has almost no strengths as well. His skills deal medicore damage, he has medicore utility, medicore stats and actually some good mobility to offset his medicore-ness. Because Excalibur is generally considered a hybrid frame, meaning he can be focused on either Caster or Combat type, the player can actually dictate his strengths, while suffering the weaknesses of the said playstile. Of course, you can go the middle ground build and focus him on both, but you won't really achieve much with that anyway. TL;DR : He is good where he is, it's just that people are confused as to how to build him correctly, when there really is no correct way, because he's such a flexible frame that he can be built in almost any way you can want.
