How many characters have a speed increasing semblance? From what I've seen quite a few. So, yay not doing that! Plus he's suppose to be the support. Giving his team an advantage in the battle is what he's suppose to do.

Pyrra has 2 things for her, a shield and a medium-long ranged weapon. Now do you think slowing down a bullet by 1/10 the speed for a moment is going to effect it much or by 1/100 the speed would be enough time to get out of the way or possibly block it? Also your only thinking about it being used on humans, but what about Grimm or in some RPs with other creatures. Plus in a 1v1 situation he wouldn't have his team. The glyph takes a lot of energy. So maybe saying he can only use it 5 times before getting tired should be a thing. That's 5 glyphs; 1 for each teammate and 1 for defense, or 5 for defense or any number of possibilities.

Roman has years of experience, Alabaster is still a student. Roman didn't face 2 huntsmen, he went up against 2 students (that he didn't face at the exact same time, first facing Blake then Sun and wasn't till Blake came back did they start winning) both of which were at close range, and even then he still was beaten by them or would of resorted to his gun.

As for a platform. I just assumed all glyphs could do that, but I'll remove that part.
