Problem with Banshee is her supportive nature. The description claims that she can be played offensive or supportive, but that's bullshit.

Her CC is good? Yeah, that might be true. But you can't revive someone on your own (or do similar things where you aren't backed up by your teammates) because your CC isn't consistent. You either have to spam Sonic Boom, or lockdown yourself with Sound Quake. Most of the other frames can buy themselves some breathing space to revive someone, even Trinity. And Sonar gives huge damage buff? True as well, but it's a fixed AoE that only procs once. I'd rather have a moving AoE like Silence, in exchange for a smaller damage buff. Of course you can use the augment, but augments should be an improvement, not a tool for making an ability useful.

Apart from that, she doesn't boast skill damage that can turn the tide in a battle. Again, she is dependent on her team to make use of the CC. Banshee also has no defensive skill or sustain, which makes it difficult to stay alive in higher level combat.

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate her. I just think that Banshee does not fill a neccessary role in a team, and therefore she is the least used Warframe. Compared to Excalibur or Rhino: They have strong CC and can boost their team (Not as strong as Banshee, but enough for most situations), but they also pack a serious punch in their skills and can protect themselves from damage as well.
