The comments got to me I couldn't take it 😭

I have never felt so strong playing any hero in this game. This hero can completely run down lobbies, I have 90% winrate in Eternity-ish elo if he slips through ban phase (Dino is permabanned) without even being a diehard vanguard main. Even in the first couple of games, without having a lot of experience you I had so much impact it's insane. He is extremely easy to play, if you have the basic game sense there's no stronger tank you can climb with at the moment.

I also get -11/-13 each loss and +23/+25 every win, since Dino farms so much stats.

100% this hero will be emergency nerfed or nerfed in s8.5. I know it sucks, he's really fun, but he's extremely unhealthy for the game, in high elo at least. He makes it so the whole game centers around him, but even with hard counters you're just so tanky and deal so much damage that either you or your healers need to severely mess up to die.

In my opinion, his tankiness can stay, and his laser might even use a slight buff to compensate, but Dino's bleed passive/base damage needs to be tuned down.

The second image is the original skin showcase I saw on Youtube, recorded in s5.5

On the website, it's rare as well, but in my client (First screen) it's epic

Why would they do this?

Immortal Weapon of Agamoto has objectively the most effort put in a single Iron Fist skin, even more than his only legendary one. The only cosmetic Lion's Gaze has up on him is the Ultimate vfx, which was added later on, other than that he has the most effects in a base model.

In my opinion, it is one of the best Epic rarity skin in the whole game, it 100% deserved to be the final legendary in the battlepass. It's sad to know that the design team can cook so hard, but opt to gooner skins for the most popular heroes. One can only imagine what Binary Fist and Shenloong Champion could've been. They don't give enough attention to him after his playrate plummeted along the nerf.

Of course, it's subjective to everyone which skin looks the best, but objectively, it has the most love put into.

That's it. At least you get compensated when your team trolls you, I got -11 one game lol

Fist finally feels viable though, he's so fun

These are only duelists, or else Gambit, Dino and some others would also be here.

A couple broken duelists weren't enough, so they decided to add Starlord to the mix so we would run out of ban slots. I still can't wrap my head around the Phoenix buff. If the enemy picks these heroes and are good at it, your team is immediately in a massive disadvantage if you don't match it, or completely play around them. The power disparity in this role is something I haven't seen in any other multiplayer game.

Locking in any of these heroes, if you have good aim and gamesense feels like playing the prime Ice Sword from Fortnite. Their kits are so overtuned/overloaded and are designed with no weakness in mind, so that even after multiple nerfs, they're still LEAGUES above anything else in the roster.

I know that the game is balanced around casual play and console as well, since they can't utilize even half of the heroes' potential, but on PC even from as low as Celestial, they terrorize the lobbies, not mentioning the joke of a pro-scene this game harbors.

This is one of the most unbalanced seasons I've seen since I started playing, Netease HAS to lock in or else playing competitive feels like torture, with the addition of triple support funneling these abominations.

I had to see this meme drawn

Cloak's (not Dagger) left click does 80DPS

Scarlet Witch's left click does do 85DPS (after s7 changes), however, it has damage falloff starting from as low as 10 meters, and it can go down to as little as 76.5DPS

BUT

Cloak also has his Terror Capes, which deal 55 flat damage, that also adds a 28% vulnerability for 3 whole seconds (increased damage taken).

This means if you hit it on an enemy, you now deal 100.4DPS! (your team also deals the increased damage)

How does this add up?

It means Cloak has 1.94TTK score against 250HP targets (40% of the hero pool), which if you test in the practice range, it's a near oneshot.

Against targets of the same distance, his TTK is higher or around the level of Scarlet Witch's if she directly lands all of her right clicks.

(He also has around the same TTK as Iron Fist and Mr. Fantastic cough cough)

To sum it up, Scarlet Witch is a really bad hero (a shocker), and if you don't use your Terror Capes on Cnd and only healbot, you're wasting half of their kit.

I don't know why Netease keeps giving strategists absurd numbers. If you bubble yourself and switch to Cloak, you can beat nearly every poke/ranged and even some dive DPS in a 1v1 if they don't land only headshots.

(My highest peak is being in the top 0.3% of players this season on PC)

Added context:

Black Cat - Cat is singlehandedly the most underrated hero of this game atm. The amount of utility she's able to provide for just using basic abilities as a DIVER and not a strategist is absurd. Without enemy coordination she can put down her util and you will permanently have wallhacks the enemy team, and that's just a single ability. Her ult is simply a much better Bucky ult, and people don't even know that she has 20% maxHP damage and 50% damage reduction on it excluding the flat damage. Her neutral kit is the most overloaded in the game. I can go on and on about her, but it will take up too many words. Just wait for a couple of weeks or a season and the average playerbase will learn about her strength. Black Cat is a failed design.

Mr. Fantastic - On the contrast, Fanta I think is the most overrated hero in the game. I don't think there's a single reason to pick him in any scenario. He doesn't have enough damage to be a dps, or enough tankiness to be a vanguard. He gets destroyed by poke and countered by brawl, because of his new high maxHP form. His ult is one of if not the worst ults in the game. His only niche is being anti-dive, but he doesn't have enough damage to kill the divers or pressure them enough before they kill the strategists. Half of the time his earthbound doesn't work on high mobility enemies. His basic attacks can be outhealed by a single support. I can also just ramble how bad he is for a long time.

Venom - If Venom is played as the only diver, or in uncoordinated dive games, he can be dropped all the way in C tier imo. I believe he's one of the best dive enablers when soaking pressure, but singlehandedly just stays in the enemy backline for only a couple of seconds without doing anything of much value before being chunked down and forced to run away.

Winter Soldier - I think he can be A or S tier depending on the game. If it's a brawl oriented game, he can be S, but in heavy poke there isn't as much he can fight back with.

Hawkeye - For the average player, he's D or F tier. However, this hero has the one of the highest potentials if the game. If you're absolutely cracked with aim, unlike Widow, you can just onetap the whole enemy team and apply absurd pressure.

The Thing - In brawl/dive comps he's in higher tiers, but the new tenacity changes cucked him so hard that he lost half of his value in a single patch.

Thor/Rogue - Rogue with teamup can be in S/BIS tier, but without it, in this meta I can't see a reason of picking these off tanks. There's so much damage in the game, that if you're not constantly pocketed, you can't output the full value of your hero. Their best games are against triple support comps, where there isn't as much damage and they can stay alive longer and apply more pressure. They also don't have the same mobility as Hulk, and if Thor had a good ult, he would be placed higher.

Iron Fist - This is just the most betrayed hero in the game. The way Netease stabbed his back and gutted this hero into the void is saddening. Fist has the most amount of nerfs in Rivals. As a bonus they also ruined his whole kit with stupid numbers that don't make sense and chopped off his legs by removing half of his mobility. There's genuinely 0 incentive to play him like Fanta, and if you want to hear more about why he's so bad, just check out my other math posts about him.

You can ask about my opinions on any hero, I just realized this is post is becoming too big xd

I miss the times when we were an actual menace and not just a mosquito
