In any poll and in the community in general warlock seem to be getting a lot of love and g99 doesn't seem to exist,people really don't talk about her, I have even seen a few people call her underrated, don't get me wrong, they are both great champions, but what I just don't understand is the fact that g99 does almost everything warlock does,but still yet g99 is always swept under the rug.
They both have armor,degen,heal block,high sustainability,power control(g99's is even better),regen(which g99 does way better) and both are good at defence
The only thing I think warlock has going that G99 don't have is his armor breaks,bleed,shock, and a little bit of AAR that goes unnoticed and I think G99 makes up for this with her insane damage,her miss,not having to crit,her ability to remove her armor(for nodes that punish buffs) and her power reversal.
So am throwing it to the community who do you think is better (I know y'all are going to choose warlock), and I would like a sweet reason for your answers. By the way you guys should go easy with the disagrees,lol

Her ramp up ceiling is so high she easily ignores damage reduction nodes. Clears 6.2 sinister without fury, 6.3 Can't stop won't stop without unstoppable, acid wash mysterio etc.
All or nothing counter with power burn on medium or sp1.
Never crits unless you want her to so ignores terminal velocity, spiked armour and flow in war
Can remove her armour for spite matchups
Energy damage bypasses safeguard
Armour and 45% regen makes her tanky
Combo shield, 10% damage cap and miss for if you slip up.
Her heal reversal is good but most of the time you'll outdamage the healing regardless.
Her downside is matchups where you can't end with a sp3 but they don't come up often
Warlock is not as punishing. His regen block is superb. He's the better Havok counter.
Maybe I will max out my 4*, but I need more convincing.
She did great in act 6 completion for me saved me alot of portions and am sure she will so great in the upcoming cavalier event quest. Warlock is great champ but I think g2099 is slightly better for me.
Warlock needs no build up. He can enter shorter fights, choose one or two of his tricks, before you know it the fight is over and he throws a goofy face. Much more fun to use and overly satisfying (for me).
I have Warlock R5 and Guilly99 at R4, debating maxing her out at some point.
I get that warlock has almost all the utility abilities you can think of, but outside of heal countering, they're just so niche.
When it comes to Regen, he only has it on his SP 3, gaining about 5% per infection. Guess what? Guilly can Regen 40% of her health just by entering the fight below 15% health. Just put on a 20% revive, a few blocked hits, Regen to 55%, put on your stability function for the subsequent fights, and just like that, you're golden!
It's all preferences at the end of the day, and I believe people place warlock a bit too highly.
I've used both characters extensively, and I have to say, I'm not overly impressed by warlock. But Guilly has surprised me to the point of singlehandedly doing so much content I never even dreamed of doing within a matter of a week!
Nevertheless, these 2 champs are OP, and have a lot of similar abilities. But outside of heal countering (which guilly can easily outdamage), she does everything else better than Warlock (whose abilities are way too niche for my liking).
I think the reason people dont give her credit is the fact that they always want to keep the combo meter and we all know how easy it is to lose combo meters or how it won't work in short fights,without her combo meter up,she is still a beast,she still has a crazy load of utility and her damage is still very much OK.
With the combo meter up, she has one of the best if not the best damage in the whole game.
Am sure with time people will understand all that I am saying and give her due credit
Such a well-rounded character that is severely underrated. People don't know, they just don't know...
Besides, 100 hits isn't the hardest thing to reach in the world, especially considering the fact she has 9 hits on her SP 2, yet people still complain endlessly that her build up is "tedious", smh.
