The problem with using Babel that way is 2 KBs. If Bad Dreams/Mecha Bun reach him, they aren’t getting off that easy, and he’ll quickly be knocked down to his KB. Less health but more KBs is a better deal in these situations.

His DPS is far from terrible, I’ve no idea what people are on about when they say that. If he’s your highest DPS unit I can see using him, but if you have something with more (or equal, because of cost/cooldown) you might as well use them instead.
