This question popped into my mind today, and I wanted to gather others opinions on it. Would you consider strike Denki meta, or not?
I think he’s 50/50. There’s definitely been a slight increase in relevance for him, but not by a staggering amount. More players are probably seeing his ludicrous damage output and wanted to choose him for easy wins, hypothetically of course.
This might be a hot take. Before the buff to his gamma, I’d say he was a solid B+ at best. His damage was great, solid movement, pretty balanced.
After the buff? May God help us all.
He can damn near nuke your health to zero with ease, AND HE HAS TWO OF THEM. So twice the atomic amount of damage you’ll take, and serves as movement for him too. Landing K.O’s have never felt so easy for him now, and getting high damage games is like a walk in the park.
His relevance in matches has skyrocketed since, and players run his two(at least what I’d call it) meta builds: Alpha Fixer, and Gamma Fixer. Besides other builds ran in him, those two are the most prominent.
But that’s just me 🤷♂️ Let me know your thoughts.
