<p>If you play it on your own creature, you now have a flying blocker that can't be dealt damage. That's not 'useless' at all. If you play it on an opponent's creature, you can stop it from dealing damage, in exchange for giving them a really good blocker. </p>

Would the enchanted creature still deal dmg or just make it a good blocker which can not kill any attackers? I seen the damage dealt by as both attack and block damage.

@Damainman, Something prevented does not happen. It does not deal damage. It cannot be dealt damage.
