I am a Vauban Main and have determined a number of things.

1: he is one of the strongest in Hydron on Sedna - The enemies have predictable choke points when the capsule is either down or up and thus Vortex is one of the best abiblites because it groups the enemies together and in tandem with other frames (Nova, Ember, Frost, etc.) can melt the whole room in a matter of seconds.

2: He is suprisingly one of the least energy hungery frames - His whole kit is about getting the enemy incapacitated for quick kills, but instead save those enemies for last. Vortex kills those already inside and Bastille prevents them from doing anything. Aim for those outside your ability's range first then melt those inside the ability. Vortex has weakened them and Bastille is a cheap recastable that is easy to expolit.

3: His survivability stats force you to become skilled in the movement mechanics - Look, even the tankiest of frames need to be somewhat mobile because they can be eaisily taken down by a few well placed enemies. In other words, movement is the best survivablity. Plus, his kit is even more adapt at abusing the movement. Just imagine a room with a ton of Bastilles and Teslas controling the enemy while you zip around destroy your sell developed choke points. Still have to acknowledge his less than great armor, shields, and health, but that is minute compared to a player who stands still and constantly gets one shot.

Simply put, he's my main because he taught me how to properly play the game and has a fun and usually underrated kit. Does his abilitlies need a rework? Yes, absolutely; but are they all bad? Not at all. If Bastille and Vortex are kept the same but Tesla and Minelayer where combined into a variable deployable turret and he got a negation effect similar to the Corpus Combras that would be stellar. He's a great frame that everyone should give a chance.
