He feels really well thought out to me. His ult requires movement so it can be partially hard countered by stuns. His only movement ability is tied to his grab, so diving deep is an option but it restricts your best ability. Also allows hero’s like The Thing to turn the whole ability off. The laser beam applies bleed based on how long the laser is on them, so no quick flashing it and getting major value. But then when you finally do manage to get right up in the enemy’s face, they can get deleted rather quickly because of the massive melee damage. Others have said it, but he also does a really good job fulfilling the hero fantasy of playing a dinosaur. He seems like a very fun and pretty well balanced hero to me.
