Best Of

Yup yup, after pulling spider woman and r3ing her this morning, I can confirm she's not touching silk Titania and ham on attack. Its really not even close. Damage wise at least.

Only top science champ i'd say shes better than on attack is photon. But that evens it out because she's a dual threat while the rest are purely attackers.

That being said, after reading her kit, only thing I can say is a threat is her fumble and small chance to evade but we've all fought spider gwen without a counter before and as long as you're not just brainlessly mashing buttons shouldn't be too difficult or at least just use an evade counter.

As for the fumble shouldn't it be easy to play around by ANTI BAITING the special 1? The sp2 seems pretty easy to outspace as long as you keep your distance when trying to bait it.
I haven't fought her ever but reading her on paper she doesn't seem such like a big deal on defense.
Correct me if im wrong.

How is she not even close to them lmao. She has more utility than Ham and Silk and her damage is comparable to both while being guaranteed unlike Hams, there’s no rng to her power stings. She’s also hitting like 25k mediums with class disadvantage and her sig lets her make those furies passive so even when you can’t apply debuffs she hits hard. Only thing is she does want high sig because she’ll retain all the fury buffs as passives and gain them on intercepts so your damage skyrockets. Not to mention she’s one of the champs who can heavy counter Zola

And she’s still very annoying to fight on defense having fought her without a counter. That evade really messes you up and if she does throw the sp1 you’re in trouble, especially since those power stings take effect through the block. She’s not the most insane defender but she’s tough if you’re not using a counter

Silks basics hit harder let's not even start. She only hits hard when you're punishing a special attack which is only one hit. You're putting it like she also hits immensely hard on basics in addition to her power stings.

Yh she'd probably be closer to them in a battlegrounds setup where an sp2 sp1 rotation would be enough to take out 300+. However 2 sp1's was still struggling to kill 500k health which silk and ham can in 30 sec so damage.
But thats besides the point, what do you mean she's got more utility??? Maybe more than ham. But what utility does she have?? She's counters enchantress thats it. Her ensnare is a 15 second wait to get up which lasts for 7 seconds. Silk can get her slow which counters evade and unstoppable. She doesn't counter unstoppable and miss she just gives you a 2 second protection in the form of evade which goes on cool down for 10 secs. So you're not using her for FOOTLOOSE. That debilitate which happens to be an exact RPG counter to enchantress is what you're calling utility?? She can do alot of fights outside the sci class tho so she's definitely a good champ. But yall have got to come down when evaluating new champions lol.

As a new defender, she's going to get you kills because people are going to need experience when facing her to get better at fighting her.

She as well as Jean, bastion etc are experience what we call new champion hype where every new champ gets placed on a pedestal and gets alot more credit than they're deserving of as long as they're not totally useless. After the hype dies down, we'll see how well she does.

Silks basics hit hard, yes. Spider Woman hits hard on basics even without the boost, she can kill ROL opponents in under a minute easily without even utilizing the power stings damage at all so she’s got really nice damage too

2 sp1’s are easily enough. If yours is not awakened and a decent sig you’re literally losing out on a ton of damage because she retains her fury passives when you have her duped

Please show me Ham and Silk doing the fight in 30 seconds. I saw a max boosted and suicides R3 Ham with a synergy team and it took 27 seconds for ROL WS

She has poison immunity, neutralize immunity, she can take the power denied from MD, she has ensnare which stops a bunch of stuff, and her safety for unstoppable and miss is clutch. She also does have a built in auto evade which can save you in BGs

And yes part of why she’s so good is her versatility outside the mystic class. Mystic isn’t that tough when it comes to defense. She has the range to take Zola, she’s a really quick onslaught nuke, and she’s one of the few science champs who can take bullseye decently well

You were also placing Dazzler on a pedestal when she dropped and downplaying Deathless Thanos so I don’t think your track record is amazing

Not denying how amazing and valuable Silk is, she’s still a top tier science champ but I think Jess is on her level and she can be used as a defender. I guess we’ll see but I had to do this same thing when Silk dropped and people were calling her overrated
