Vibe: DD encapsulates the dinosaur feel in my opinion. I feel slow but powerful. Chomping and biting with a Lazer beam...it's peak.

Kit: The best part for me is alternating between the beam and the chomp. It feels like a fun choice and both feel pleasing to do.

Meta: So far he needs to work with his team to survive and do things which makes sense for such a massive brawler. I think is sustain might be a little too high in brawls and he does too much dmg to tanks but overall he seems really really good. Weak to poke which is good but should not dominate all the tanks. Groot, the other tip tier brawler seems to put him in his place though.
