firstly, you are still ignoring the other aspects of climbing which can be useful. Raijin can, in effect, make cover where there isn't any for any other bot.

additionally, raijins durability frequently makes it equivilent or superior to fury in midrange suppresiion, and it can counter most other midrange builds.

a raijin is a very effective brawler with the right equipment, due to superior durability, and being faster and lower profile (vertically) than other bots with higher base firepower, and benefits from the physical shield

And the fact that raijin brings so many enemies after it can make it an effective tank - causing it to become a target rather than another bot with higher firepower or greater speed, which might be better for the specific situation.

but saying the raijin is bad is unwarranted.
