I posted this in the meta discussion thread last week. He is strong early. He still lacks great scaling so late he can struggle to finish off an enemy. I think when rank comes around, heroes who can flex WP/CP and lane/jungle will be valuable.
The nature of 5v5 and recent buffs and nerfs could make Ozo near the top meta. Here a few reason:
Ozo’s Perk. 5v5 allows for 2-3 fountains to be built meaning Ozo’s 30% bonus heal gets more out of a multiple fountain meta than any other hero. Plus Ozo’s perk makes him an ideal target for a double support comp running barriers. An Ardan and Lorelai comp who barriers and fountains Ozo could be good. Ozo can even get more out of BoE and hold down a lane.
Ozo’s counters have seen nerfs. Lyra’s bulwark has had the silence removed which was completely crippling to Ozo (also Alpha). Lance has seen a huge 200 damage nerf on his impale which could limit his pick rate.
Ozo’s sneaky AOE. All 3 of his skills have an AOE component. With more heroes to hit, Ozo can leach health and stack BP even faster. More targets also mean a better chance of leaping from one enemy to another.
