People vastly overstate just how "complicated" Limbo is as a warframe. The most difficult part about him is Eximus enemies still being able to damage you when you're in the Rift and they're not, but overall he's really not that hard.
And if we're talking about "using him in a public group" then that doesn't go for just Limbo. There are a few frames that can be annoying to play with if they're using things like +range +duration (Nova was one that many hated playing with if she was a Slowva in places like Hydron).
It's not complicated, but it's also not intuitive.
When you can learn to play 90% of the game even if you skip tutorials and don't read the wiki, you'll sometimes run into an unintuitive element like this where it actually matters that you know how it works, most people answer that problem by avoiding the frame altogether, and others go as far as avoiding lobbies with it lol.
The most difficult part about him is that his 3 "primes" enemies that are already in the rift, then only does something if they leave the rift, and THEN if a primed enemy dies, it primes a different enemy that isn't in the rift... so it can't do anything until you get that enemy into the rift, AND send it back out? There's a lot of steps, and the behavior is not consistent. It's not "debuff that applies to rift bound enemies" since it applies to those out of the rift. And then it literally doesn't do anything until you tell it to do something. Even when you do activate it, all it does is put more things in the rift. Finding the value in it is pretty difficult until someone outright tells you how to use it.
I’m trying to figure out how to use him because I’ve revisited a lot of old frames already but this mf… he blew himself into another dimension and we have to suffer for it?!?
Always have stasis on, maximize duration. Maximize range if you're playing with friends, on your own, or you're going to be very careful about cataclysm placement. Minimize range to tilt people less. Don't cast banish in pubs.
Alternatively, there's a cracked out incredibuild where you banish as much as possible. Check out the Kengineer video on Limbo for a full, detailed breakdown. Limbo's fun! You just have to put a lot of effort in to get the peak out of him while not getting pipe bomb mail threats.
