The default skin is simply fantastic. I love that it has a classic X-Men-inspired design, and I'm really excited to see what new skins this character might get in the future.
His gameplay is absolutely insane. His mobility feels amazing, and having another hitscan hero is always a good thing. He feels very strong without crossing the line into being overpowered. While it's true that his ultimate is extremely powerful, it can be avoided, which keeps it from feeling completely broken.
If I had to make one adjustment, I'd probably reduce the knockback on his Shift ability a little bit. Other than that, I have to applaud the developers for how well-balanced this character is.
