Which is still totally legal, we swear! That wasn't errata'd like two years ago or anything! Put your phone down, don't check! Hey why are you calling the TO...?

No, but...
A Vlad 2 Marauder could get him upfield 3-8” and it’s not even cheating.

Hehe, good one, yeah that was kind of my reaction.

Three games at a local SR and three Hermits. Here was how he was used (and suggestive of the utility)
Infernals - mostly as a essence bot. caster was Zaateroth. Grymkin - OW3 - Leveraged well. Sat near her and essentially provide her the "you can't damage me" crutch. This came up a lot because OW wants to play up the field sometimes. Retribution - Hermit Bowling with a Banshee. Use of Slam to stack ARM debuff with G2 Mortality.
OW2 probably gets the same value from him. We theorycrafted that Z2 list probably likes him as well for the ability to start stacking debuffs before sprays for days. Nothing really in faction does what the Banshee does - MAYBE the decimator but I am not sure that is actual value more than just "cute". Ditto really the Maurader as well because if it fails to slam very far it just goes an inch and kinda sucks for us.

Beat back only works on enemy models, so no need to waste time the Decimator like that.
