His basic damage is terrible. Every other champ that doesn't crit has something to make a difference there.

I tried Solvarch r3 in the common bad matchup of Winter Soldier and compared him against Guardian r3, G2099 r1, FalCap r1, Jack r4, and Prowler r1.

I didn't have all year, so I just compared Mediums.

Solv - 1854
Jack - 2633
Guardian - 1960
G2099 - 1412 at no combo
Prowler - 1183

The others all do something useful to make up for not critting, and Solvarch has his weak Coldsnap. I can get a semi-cooperative Winter Soldier down in less than 90 seconds with r3 Solvarch doing Parry, MM to 3 "bars", GG striker, SP1, SP3. Cleanup. I'm sure there's something optimal after the SP3, but I don't know what it is, so the Cleanup could be optimized to take off more time. Not super impressive, but it is a terrible matchup.

The worst is that they won't buff him even after he goes to the base pool,even if they annouce it will take months to happen

It was just give Shocker Mechanic and make the crit rating boost your attack rating ,there would still be some problems but damage wise this could have helped and kept consistency between Non crit techs

Maybe we can hide our vile comments if we act like nothing happened and move on to the next page? Like the good and bad guy settles their differences and work together to save the world? I'm down!

Now back to the topic, I'm personally quite confused as well with the can't crit ability of techs getting more common with something else in place to compensate for the damage loss. Most techs of that sort either inflicted a DoT instead or had something unique like Shocker armor penetration increase. Not sure why but I think Maker doesn't have anything to replace the crits either, nor does Solvarch. The ability can be beneficial by itself against crit punishing champions but just leads to lack of damage in every other scenario. Not sure what the thought process behind that is, champions like Guillotine99 and Prowler get through stuff that punish crits perfectly fine while maintaining their intended damage. Just weird that the latest releases don't have a replacement for some reason. Feels like something missing for sure.

The Maker gets a pass because of the instant Plasmas on his heavy and his Plasma mine, and both of those damages scale with his crit damage multiplier, and he can also power them up with his own Instants Siphon pre-fight.

I see. Honestly I believe that Crossbones has one of the most ideal crit replacements in the game since he gets furies with critical hits and those furies get their potency increased with critical damage rating. I think Prowler also has a similar thing going for him where his crits are rupture passives and their damage also scales with critical damage rating. That's more so my point here, I prefer when champions that can't land critical hits get the perks of precisions and cruelties just as well as anyone. I'm fine if not both are compensated simultaneously but it doesn't make much sense when a champion benefits from neither of these stats like Solvarch. And it gets even funnier for him to have some decent critical rating and critical damage rating stats when he benefits from none.

Especially considering that the actual rebalancing changes come after a year at least

As I have said on other threads were especially 2 certain trolls have been baiting for hate, I think it’s totally fine to enjoy a champ that isn’t too powerful. Like the Kamala Khan guy and enjoying her or others like the Daredevil (HK) guy and the psychoman guy. All those enjoy their characters and would tell you how strong and fun they are. Same as Solvarch, despite his obvious weaknesses, I personally really enjoy him and think he’s really strong with his utility and tankiness. Would I like a tune-up? Definitely! Is he still fine as he is and not completely useless, causing me to hate for days on the forums because I overestimate him and took him to r4? Yeah, he’s still a fine champ. And that’s that.

And there's always that one guy who takes every single bait and turns the simplest post into a battlefield. No idea why its so hard to just not engage with such established trolls, guess some people have all the time in the world with not much else to do. Keep up with your feud guys, let's shut down this thread as well all because of your personal issues!

Bro farming even more disagrees and he's barely been here four days 💀

Weren't you studying to become like a preschool teacher, nurse or whatever at an age where most people have already graduated? Why not focus a bit on paying the rent over some random mobile gaming forum since you clearly can't do both at the same time? Mid 20s and still didn't graduate from a piss-easy program but dares to run his mouth here all day long. Maybe its time you work on your future than your karma on a gaming forum? Feel free to give it a try lol.

I actually graduated as a nurse a while ago and I already have a job with a good enough pay so I don't have to worry about paying rent and spending on this game at the same time. What's crazy tho is I mentioned what I do for a living right after the HoF event, not recently, and you joined forums five days ago correct? Imagine how much of an insecure neckbeard you have to be that you not only created a new account but you're stalking someone on a video game forum for this long. You should take your own advice and do something with your life before mommy and daddy kick you out, basement can only get you so far💀

I didn't know getting a nursing degree was such a struggle for some people, no need to get mad at me for being an illiterate loser with an unsuccesful academic life lol. Also dw, I'm not stalking anyone especially such middle class people of zero worth like you. I saw a comment months ago and today I replied with that knowledge, if you consider that stalking then I can see why a nursing degree took so long for you Again, we're worlds apart on most aspects of life that I wouldn't expect you to understand anything I said as you made clear that you're often unable to comprehend the simplest stuff. You're gonna keep getting trolled on the internet with your lack of braincells but believe me when I say that that is not your primary concern here haha. Just imagine if all those countless hours arguing on a mobile gaming forum and getting trolled -because you're that gullible- could have been focused on your studies and maybe then you wouldn't have been struggling for an eternity over a nursing degree lol. How unfortunate when a mobile gaming forum is the only place you can have an ego, must suck when nobody irl cares about your opinions as much as in here 😞

You saw a comment months ago but your account was created five days ago? 🤔 Anyways I ain't reading all that I'm happy for you tho, or sorry that happened.

Haha why type like you won't read and then edit to respond to a portion of what I wrote? I mean it when I say that you're just a gullible, useful idiot. Maybe I misjudged, completing a 4 year nursing program in your middle 20s seems actually impressive from you 🤣

If you two don’t stop the insulting, Kabam’s gonna close this thread soon

Anyways, we’re getting off topic here

Don't reply to him, let him get disagree spammed while he screams inside that echo chamber of his it's funny lol I just needed to get one last jab in cause I know it triggers him but I'm done now, back to Solvarch discussion.
