The problem with Oberon is that he is poorly advertised. Instead of advertising him as a CC tank, he is advertised as a cross between a damage frame and a healer, and although his healing isn't terrible it starts to fall of fairly early. His damage however, is abysmal, and shouldn't be expected to kill anything stronger than a butcher a level 30+. Because of this, most people expect to be able to play him as a cross between a damage frame and a healer, and write him off when they find that he does neither of those well. But, if you build and play him right, he is an extremely strong frame, whose biggest issue in a sortie will be people leaving the squad when the see you playing a frame that they don't fully understand.

Not only does Oberon have great stats, but his abilities are all extremely useful. His first ability is a guaranteed rad proc on all enemies it effects, and can be augmented to buff allies' damage. His second ability gives a twenty percent armor buff, (which is effected by strength mods) provides status immunity to all allies who stand in it, and can be augmented for a guaranteed rad proc upon recasting it. His third ability, although requiring you to be in fondling range of allies for them to receive the healing it provides fast enough to save them 90% of the time, can massively heal you, giving Oberon great survivability. And his last ability has guaranteed rad procs, along with a long stun duration, making it incredible CC.

TL;DR Oberon is a frame that most people don't understand because he not advertised as what he really is, a CC tank﻿.
