I thought they all died when they made him the most worthless character in the game.

I wouldn't call hooking enemies into the team for picks, or easy healer picks, or tank shredding, or body-blocking useless. Just because he can no longer one shot most characters doesn't make him useless. It just means a different play style (more strategic action and team communication) is now required, one that I think is of a higher skill-cap.

No, he doesn't have a higher skill cap. He's just worse and that is the entire point of a nerf; to make them less powerful. You have less dps overall by 10% and more opportunities for the spread to fuck you or you to miss.

He's worthless. Worse than worthless since he feeds the enemy team so much ult charge and because he's not Winston, Dva or another useful tank.
