Frenzied Strain is antithetical to bounded accuracy.
So in 5e bounded accuracy is the defining feature which gives dm's a sense of what the group can handle. The more advanced the group is in their play, the more the dm can raise the CR of creatures.
However, in baldurs gate 3 bounded accuracy is the foundation of the games entire method of advancement, which is combat. having an ability that gives you -1 to hit every time you use a bonus action attack is like purposefully attuning to a cursed item that gives you -5 to hit instead of +3. You are going to end up doing nothing by the end of the fight, and feel completely useless while your casters spam their world ending spells.
I urge you to reconsider balancing this subclass, because knocking 2 creatures prone a fight with enraged throw is not worth the drawbacks. The subclass more or less gets nothing else outside of this either.

So... you end your frenzy to get your attack bonus back up.

It's a great feature if you have surplus attack bonus to spare, eg. from Tavern Brawler or having an enchanted weapon.

Don't forget you also get Reckless Attack.

And the level 6 immunity to charmed and frightened is great.
