Eh, it's not entirely awful it could be MUCH worse. It's at least somewhat bulky so it can probably wallbreak in lower tiers super well. It's not goign to be OU, but I doubt it'll be lower than RU.
Yeah, probably. I'm not really into competitive so I trust you on this. After all starters usually have redeeming qualities and find uses in a variety of situations. That's why they're starters in the first place.
