Archangel vs Magneto , Who is the Better Mutant?

As you all know a lot have been discrediting AA saying he can’t do anything against poison/bleed immune. Well with the mags buff and metal tag changes, there still are much more nonimmune champions AA would work on than there are metal champions

What do you think? Is the “AA does what he needs to at r4” outdated? Let me know in the comments

Right now I see 3 mutants as being better than magneto. Those would be Archangel, Colossus, and Omega Red. I see AA as slightly better than magneto currently. As time goes on my view could change to have magneto as superior to AA or AA to grow further in superiority to mags. I think it mainly comes down to how much the use of Magneto (HoX) increases and if Kabam fixes his bug. If white mags’ popularity grows AA is going to be ridiculous with passive stuns. So really the key factor in this is White Mags. If a higher amount of metal champs are added to the game and Magneto (HoX) does not grow to be popular then Red mags will grow to be seen as superior.

Just r5 both. They complement each other so well

This isn’t a who to rank up question. This is simply asking who we believe is superior.

It depends. If you’re running suicides, I’d take mags.

You are right, however. I believe the matter of which to r5 further complicates the dilemma as some believe that AA’s damage doesn’t increase much from r4 to r5 , that its mostly a health increase.

So although AA is winning the poll, I wonder how many that voted yes would also r5 him over mags.

Magneto is better for me.

I have r5 mags but not archangel

The problem is there isn't a simple answer. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. In some areas I would say Mags is better by far and other areas AA has the heads up. There is no way in a game like this to simply say one champ is superior to another. For example, most would say Corvus is superior to Groot but when facing Ebony Maw Groot would be superior. The game has to many variables to simply say one champ is superior to another.

Mags depends on the opponent being metal or bleed immune for his thing to shine, but a majority of champs do happen to be metal and others bleed immune. Dudes rocks 5% heal reversal, huge AAR, burst bleeds or massive armour breaks, bleed and shock resistance, unstoppable heavy, suicide friendly rotation and high special damage.

AA depends on the opponent not being immune to poison or bleed. But Heal Blocking, high AAR and stunning after the neurotoxin expires.(pretty sure the guy is immune to AAR too)

The two share a fair bit of utility, but Archangel reaches his peak quicker than Magneto at the cost of losing it against bleed and poison immune champs. Magneto's true utility relies on the opponent being metal and his damage on them being metal or bleed immune. Basically, they synergise well, Arcangel can handle what Magneto can't and Magneto does what Archangel could not.

AA was my first 5/65 champ and I have no regrets about it. I got through the epic omega quest and he was the mvp, he just melts so many champions.

rank whoever you like more and fits a need you need more. tier lists are stupid

Deacon

what AA does, no one can do it better ... i stacked i think 8 or 9 neurotoxin in a fight and it was just beautiful to watch lol

with that said ... i wouldn't compare the two .. each one is a beast.

Polygon

Wow the votes are now dead even!

Nice to see a lot of people taking AA to r5 now as well

Kennado

I took my AA to r5 no question. Don't let youtubers influence your decisions. You already know not to bring Groot, Rhino, Juggernaut, etc to r5. Everything else is fair game. All that being said, Red Mags is the better of the two in this meta.

JoseOk

If it matters, Magneto thinks he is superior.

Kill_Grey

I don't have a mags to compare, but AA's been putting in work for me.

Realm_Of_Rah

Magneto is better for Alliance War, Archangel is better for AQ. Both are amazing for general questing and counter a lot of rubbish. Depends on who you like more.

Karatemike415

Two completely different champions who quite frequently have the argument for being the best option for what they would be used for -

It's very hard to compare a champion that works best against bleed/poison vulnerable matchups with another champion who tends to run through a lot of those matches.

Magneto

both are god tier champíons imo, Magento works with suicides while Archangel not, anyway both champions are useful for different scenarios, i would r5 both without doubt

Nameless_IW

i have both champs as 5 stars. But guess who is R5 and who is R4. Magneto has been R5 as soon as his buff went live. R5 Magneto has helped me tremendously exploring Act 6 so far.

I would say it’s AA and I don’t think it’s as close as the polls would indicate.

Red Mags depends a lot on the Metal tag, the ability to parry/heavy, his buffs, and his special three.

There are some nodes that limit him (limber, buff nullifying nodes, etc) as well.

Conversely, AA is still good if the opponent can be bled and - of course- if the opponent can be bled and poisoned he’s elite.

He doesn’t rely on special attacks and his damage over time neurotoxin is passive.

I could rank 5 my Red Mags but I’m waiting for Colossus.

AA is suicide friendly just not as much as mags since you mainly get his damage off heavies and don’t really need to use sp1 or sp2
