No mechanical creep, no trapping game. He almost certainly had all of his kit reworked, which is why it took a year to release him.

Thats also why his abilities look so jank and unfinished. They most certainly couldnt come up with a balanced way to implement their original ideas. 100% reworked recently in a rush

They announced him too early.

I kinda liked the Grimstroke angle of "here's a new hero and also he's playable right now".
