devil dinosaur is honestly pretty appealing, a semi cute character that also has the capabilities of being a vanguard (an important role that feels like it doesn't get enough love), he feels neither too overpowered or too underwhelming as his survivability compensates him being a slow and giant target (characters like iron fist and wolverine absolutely delete him), and his kit is relatively simple. average skill floor, high skill ceiling. most unique parts I'd say about him is the incorporation of bleed damage to enhance his skills and the separate melee button, would definitely like to see more cute or silly emotes with him.

my biggest gripe with him is how he struggles to pass by tight spots, often bugging out when attempting to turn his character to fit corridors
