Basher is amazing at least. Gurgoh is pretty good I think although he is not Venus. I'm about 200 pulls away from pity so I'm not pulling. Heck, Plarium's refusal to show pity just makes me never want to pull except when I have to. If I did know I was 20 away from pity, I might splurge. But if I'm not sure if I'm 20 or 50 away? That's a no 100% of the time. I'm sure there are one or two who come down the other way, but in general I think they are once again shooting themselves in the foot. I mean, Genshin shows every pull for the previous 6 months and they are certainly not lacking from people whaling out.
In Raid's upcoming update video, it hinted that in one of the new boss there needs to freeze the minions or something to lessen the damage so Gurgoh can be use there.
Sometime ago, Gurgoh in arena as buff stripper. With his aoe freeze you can afford to have slow champions after he moves. I use him in a comp like Arbiter, Gurgoh, slow def break champ with weaken, slow nuker. With these setup you allow enemies to waste their turn so disabling Reaction accessories.
I am currently using him in my sub minute Spider 25 team. Akoth, Gurgoh, Coldheart 2x, Renegade.
