It is especially a big deal in battle when your enemy has an attack that bypasses regeneration and mames the opponent, do a shadow clone in such a fight.

Hell even just using shadow clones to "analyze your opponent, to watch and think" and then turn off that shadow clone relaying this "insight" to the original is important. It may not be as good as Six Paths of Pain, but in some ways it is better and Naruto could always use some battlefield analysis for that was more Sasukes and Sakura's thing.

Yes I am still grumbling.
because thats a protagonist jutsu Ramza. don't you know? once your not the main character anymore, you can't cast it.
