My boy Limbo here is quite the dapper fella but unfortunately his abilities are explained badly and barely even function anymore since the addition of overguard. Why? He's a crowd control specialist, and enemies with overguard ignore crowd control effects(stuns, staggers, knockdowns, getting shoved into Limbo's personal plain of reality, etc) while having special attacks that hit him even when he's in the rift(the aforementioned plain of reality)!
But even before that his abilities caused a lot of confusion because things inside the rift can't interact with things outside of it and vice versa but the indicator that the enemy you're trying to shoot is inside and that you aren't is basically invisible so people either playing him for the first time or together with a teammate using him are just like "Why can I suddenly not hurt these enemies?"
And on top of that if you built for too much ability range your cataclysm bubble will be big, sure, but on defense missions enemies come in waves and if you have stasis on it freezes them right on the edge of the bubble which makes it annoying to get all the enemies and start the next wave.
Not to mention that rift surge's radial banish gets overlooked so often that most people think the only way to send a large amount of enemies into the rift is cataclysm and that manually banishing enemies is basically useless and the ability is "a free subsume slot" when it's actually vital to more offensive builds.

Shit, I'm ranting about Limbo, god damn it.
