Just a side note, mesa 4 and exodia contagions could hit through the rift

Honestly, limbo just makes game play boring and most players of limbo seem to die... a lot, so you spend most of your time trying to get in/out of plane to kill a enemy or reviving limbo. Furthermore if you are a playing a melee or gun focus build, limbo ruins all your fun, and people always say just use a frame with powers to kill, but it doesn't really help since  you joined a game you didn't know limbo was going to be in.

Also the best way to play limbo is to just go in to the rift, dance on the objective making enemies attack you instead of the objective as well as dancing on or tea bagging downed teammates 😉

might be wrong but I thought his bubble could also break interactive things like consoles/buttons?

With nullifiers, u do pause the actual nullfiers in time.  But their drones make the nullfier bubble, and when they come out, they nullify the rift and leave it, cause the nullfiers and the 8 level 100 bombard u kept in the rift to be free. Same interaction with a nullfier and limbo's 4 but instead they just cancel the entire ability 

With him being hated, its mainly because some limbos have no clue how to play him. You cant damage people in the rift unless you yourself are in the rift or if you use an ability.  So if a limbo has no clue what they are doing and casting 1 all the time, enemies cant be killed by his teammates and in most missions that slows things down a lot. 

All of this. The changes actually made me stop using Limbo as a defense frame; Gara or Frost is a better choice, imo.

I don’t hate limbo, but I often find myself having to ask Limbo’s to remove their bubble. He can take away very valuable sight lines, and that’s just quite annoying.

[NecroPed]

While he is useful, his kit can be seen as annoying because it separates enemies from you at times. It's nowhere near as bad as it used to be. But can still be annoying,

I was wondering what mods do you recommend I use for Limbo so I know what to look for thanks guys

[(PSN)DiligentDiamond]

I just use a zephyr with some range mods to make a more friendly limbo that you can shoot out from the protective bubble. Turbulence is pretty OP.

Abilities generally pass through the Rift unhindered.

"sooooo hated?" Maybe for some, but not hate on limbo, it's the player controlling limbo.

What could happen when limbo is badly used:
1) making enemies immortal or you dealing no damage
2) open rift portal at populated areas, other players enter rift accidentally and need to roll out frequently
3) visual troll with blindingly bright energy color
4) slow down / cease all objectives that require killing enemies or consoles interaction (i.e. mobile defence/spy)

Actually this troll hate spreads to other frames too, but they are in generally have less troll-ability. Example like :
- Loki teleporting you around
- Vauban visual and audio bombardment
- Equinox making enemies one-shotting you
- Coin pusher with Atlas rock wall
- Volt's short duration speed buff making you feels like lagging
- Nova teleporting you to miles away, the abyss or infinite fall
- Slowva slowing down enemies in defence/farm.
- Frost's snowglobe being casted randomly to block friendly gunfire
- Khora/Inaro/Zephyr lifting dozens of enemies up in the sky without killing them
- converted enemies in defence mission
- Banshee/rhino/mirage/saryn/volt/nezha/oberon/mag, etc with max range + min damage keeping enemies at bay 70m away

This works with Banish (1 enemy at a time) as well as Cataclysm where all enemies inside it are in the rift.

Thank you for taking time to explain it, I deeply appreciate the help

I  find Banish seems more handy though what is Stasis for? Does it synergise at all with his other abilities?

Yet when I use my Rift, my Limbo is trapped by himself. Just how do you get enemies in too as regardless what I do even roll or dodge at the enemy in Solo: the only thing in my rift is me 😁 I find Banish seems more handy though what is Stasis for? Does it synergise at all with his other abilities?

Ciao! Più che odiato è fastidioso perché più volte non riesci a killare i nemici. Il discorso logicamente cambia se una persa Limbo lo sa usare perfettamente (rari casi), per questo. Perché non si sa usare e porta solo fastidio!
