How useless is JC these days?
Not that he was ever top tier but lately he's basically trash. I have him at G8, 7* and lv80. Only ever uses him in GW. On node 4 I switched him in. Was fighting admittedly full 7* G8+ teams but at...

I remember being a little disappointed when I first got the JC and found out he didn't have a Forcequake ability, if you get that reference. At least we wasn't flinging pebbles at people. ; )
Despite this, the JC was pretty useful until I got Lumi and Bariss. He still had a place on my secondary GW team and could hold is own then.
He seems to have become a liabilty now that they've added the protection mechanic and the game's current state. It feels like his surviveability took a hit, his heal isn't as potent, and his damage went from low-medium to just low.
This is based off of empirical observation from GW exclusively. I have my JC at 7*, G8, abilities all Lv7, and Lv70 during both pre and post changes. Nodes that had teams in the lvl 55-70 range would take 4-6 hits to knock out my JC. Now they do it in 3-4.
I still like the JC but won't be investing any more time or resources into the character unless he sees some buffs in future patches.
