On paper, his abilities do have similarities to other previously existing abilities. In practice however, the synergy between his abilities plus the Mutation passive means he plays rather differently to other Warframes due to the fact that he needs to ramp up his power before he can begin to dish out the damage. Nidus is one of the very few frames who manages to do ability synergies very well and in fact requires it to be effective, and he is capable of going into "high-level" missions and rack up kills without using any weapons.

He's been a blast to play so far, and it'd be quite premature to dismiss him simply because his abilities look similar to other abilities on the surface.
