I know. Santa is absolutely one of the most fantastic legends in game. Ok, seriously he has the lowest tier of health. He used to be pretty balanced until they nerfed his lantern for some reason.
Just played a good deal of 2v2 matches today and I can say that he's still good as I remember him to be.
Saint's temperance used to deal around 2000-2500 damage pre-nerf, his 1 was also able to be JCd instantly. He was top tier when he was first released thanks to insane DoT as well as great counter punishment + the SC to reset a fight. Now temperance deals 350-400 damage and 1 cannot be jump cancelled. He's at the bottom due to lacking counter punishment, poor DoT, poor to average survivability with only the SC and finisher giving him anything anything really worth using. Not to mention other legends have better versions of finishers (SG, WW, Faust, Cheetah) and better SCs (Bane, Atro, TF).
If you want to really practice counter caution I suggest Saint Walker. His Low HP does make him a bit difficult to use. I've used Saint Walker a lot in the past and I've done ok. I'm not going to do damage like Catwoman, but I will be practicing my counters. It's just as important to know your counters as well as your powers. Using a low tier legend like Saint puts you into some of the most disadvantageous situations and you have to rely on the damage via counters and weapon. It would be nice to see Saint get a buff, but as of right now he's a good teaching tool.
Only way if I can win with Saint is if i never get countered and their character doesn't have alot of CC.
