How does Clancy perform as a leader vs. support/joiner in Brawl Stars?

As primary starter/leader: #1 anti-tank shredder in Brawl Ball, Hot Zone, and Gem Grab. Starts slow at Stage 1, but once he hits Stage 3 he gains permanent movement speed and a 16-paintball torrent Super that deletes Frank, Draco, Kenji, and El Primo in one button press. In the secondary/joiner slot: Never draft Clancy into triple long-range snipers on open maps (where he cannot farm tokens)—lock him in as a 4th–6th counter pick whenever the enemy team drafts 2+ tanks or melee assassins.
