Fuse is a dud
I have taken out Fuse into the firing range to get a feel for his playstyle. Little did I know I was gonna become one of Respawn's beta testers. His tactical is decent. His Ultimate is interesting, ...
After a couple of days I'm finding Fuse a bit meh. Not as meh as Rampart but still a bit meh. His ult rarely does damage and the knucklecluster is little more than a firework display unless you hit someone directly. Nades can be run away from.
It is great when you get it right and you combine the ult with nades, but in about 30 games now I've managed that about four times.
It's also too easy to screw up the ult (if you employ it while moving if it hits something close to you you're engulfed by your own fire).
I think in a week or two people will stop being scared of him, just like they stopped being scared of Sheila (hide, lob a grenade).
Oh, and a couple of times the Ult has failed to deploy at all and the knucklecluster has actually fired nowhere near where it was deployed. Plus once a TM Fuse was eliminated, I went to grab the banner and his death box had sunk into the map and he couldn't be respawned.
