Why does Xenomorph feel so clunky?

This could just be a skill/me issue but I really want to know what everyone else thinks. As someone who plays on Console, Xenomorph feels incredibly janky and burdensome to learn and play, especially in regards to the tail stab. Using the tail attack just feels so incredibly unintuitive: your camera is briefly locked in place for a second, gains full sensitivity briefly when it has just landed, and then will likely clip on something on the way. I don't understand it's range or how you're meant to aim it, since it feels like it sometimes just goes straight through people or hits random things with its hitbox, and compared to everything else, it just feels... bad. The control stations too feel like a less controllable version of Demo's portals and it frustrates me trying to play it. Is any of this down to skill or console or what, because I want to know what I'm doing wrong here
