Why does nobody like Phoenix? Too weak or too boring?

Why doesn't phoenix get much love from the community? Is he too weak or does nobody just like his kit cuz it's too boring/basic? Phoenix mains subreddit/discord is dead, barely any pros play him and those that do generally only play him on 1 map (sick haven, jinggg fracture, etc.) and there are barely any phoenix main content creators. Obviously he has low pick rate in pro play as well but I feel he is decent in soloq after the buffs. But maybe still not quite strong enough?

If he's still too weak and needs a buff what would you change about his kit? I feel like after the previous buffs, his flash and ult are very good and buffing them anymore would be overkill. His molly seems decent and does a lot of damage and I feel like has a decent size, I feel like buffing those aspects might also be overkill. Maybe extend the range? Or just a slight increase to duration to be closer to like brim molly? His wall is probably the weakest part of his kit. Maybe they could extend the duration/length and/or add a burn or something (continuous hp drop for a few seconds after walking across or maybe just an instant -30 or smthn).
