I was really looking forward to its release, especially since Starlord has been one of my favorite characters for a long time.
Due to its lack of utility, I already knew and expected that it wouldn't be a meta champion in competitive modes.

However, several videos of Starlord came out today, and I have to say that the damage seems extremely lower than it should be:



Of course, I'm not saying that his damage is terrible or extremely low. But his performance, even against large health pools, is not good at all:



I checked his page and came across this:



This doesn't look like the design of a champion with 5/5 damage.

It's worth remembering that we're talking about a 7-star rank 4 champion, who doesn't have immunities, not even the little utility that OG Starlord had with heal block or power drain. He's a champion specifically focused on damage. And that's fine, that's explicit on the champion's page and in the deep dive.

Just as Deathless Thanos was the champion promised as meta in the end, with Stellar Forged it was Doom. So it was never promised that Starlord would be a god-tier champion. But man, at this rate, even using him in the Coliseum is going to be very difficult.
