I didn't like it from the beginning. I shreds everyone and everything. Wipes units like crazy and insta-pins. On the other hand, it's window of action is very limited, and should be positioned very well.
I think it should act as a crowd control unit instead of finishing off infantry. IMO its damage needs a huge nerf, but also a price buff so it acts as a more expensive and better armored Kuble for mid/late game blobs.
It basically used to. Then squad-bunching happened and now it's liable to wipe by the second volley.
TL;DR FUCKING INFANTRY BUNCHING again.
I remember being quite shocked to see it pin squads nigh-instantly when that patch happened. It definitely used to just suppress squads that were more spread out.
