But Warlock can be super effective regardless of your skill level. He does so much and it's so easy to access what he does best and that, in my eyes, is the mark of a great champion and that's what makes him the better of the two.
Exaggerations like this make it hard to take anything said seriously.
The only regen that can't be outdamaged by g2099 is Abyss Deadpool where warlock isn't the best option. Saying she doesn't do anything better than anyone when nodes like terminal velocity that punish crits exist is just false. Damage reduction nodes are also a big problem in act 6, guess who ignores all of them.
Really don't understand the whole g99 Vs Warlock fixation, they're both great and realistically fill different niches. I won't be using g99 if I need AAR or coldsnap immunity and won't bring warlock if I need to ramp up to ridiculous damage numbers or deal with vivified
I dunno what "skill level" it is you speak of, but g2099 is as simple of a character to play as you can get.
Secondly, what "patience" do you speak of? 🤔 How does a champ that ends act 6.4 fights in around 50 hits of light and medium attacks require "patience". And mind you, this is without suicides, synergies or anything. Without wasting your time to parry-heavy; without stressing to alternate between special attacks or anything. All you have to do: don't get hit. If you're in late act 6, and you have a problem with that, then how the hell did you get there? There's always the safety net of combo shield, invisibility cloak AND a ridiculous self repair.
So what argument are you trying to make?
You need to end fights with an SP3
She needs to be awakened and at high sig level to make sure the digi cloak activates when you get hit
Warlock has no such requirements
Whatever you need you can get directly from a heavy, or his specials
Also don't take it so personally dude, nobody is attacking you here. Just sharing viewpoints✌🏽
Different strokes for different folks, not everyone likes ramp up champs and there's no problem there. I personally don't mind but I can see how it puts off others.
When it comes to path-clearing, g2099 is almost undoubtedly a top 3 option in the game. Warlock isn't nearly as good at path-clearing as her. You simply can't argue that fact, cuz it's not even close.
Onto your argument of him being the best against healing. Uh, there are a lot of champs to counter healing, for your information. Some can even reverse it, and I prefer to punish the opponent's heal to a prolonged fight. If you're talking about being the best at something, someone like Doom isn't particularly considered to be the best at any single thing, yet he's a highly respected character in the game.
I don't see ending fights with SP 3 as an inconvenience, honestly. It's only once per fight you need to. And a lot of Champs are similar (Magneto, anyone?).
Guillotine... one hit and you're back to square one. Ægon, at least you have some combo to fall back on.
I haven't necessarily experienced this, because her combo shield from the sig ability comes in to protect me.
And the higher the hit count required to take a champ down, the higher the margin for error
Which is what I meant by skilled, maybe skilled isn't the right word
However, the big problem would be ending with an sp3 for me. One accidental sp2 or an extra hit or degen crit, and you’re screwed.
As far as G99 being the best option for nodes that punish crits, Guardian doesn't crit, I'd rather use him 90% of the time. And champs like Magik or Doom exist for Terminal Velocity. Same as how champs CMM, Ægon, and Namor exist. Sure, they still crit. But they ignore the consequences that would result and again, I'd rather use them 90% of the time.
And the G99 Warlock debate is just repeatedly brought up by the people who absolutely need to prove G99 is more useful than Warlock. But there's a reason Warlock is used everywhere. G99 really isn't.
Not really, CMM, Corvus, Ghost, NF, OR, Colossus can all get in and destroy paths in a single Sp2. And that's without a slog of a ramp-up on the first fight.
And a lot of healing can't be reversed/isn't practical to do so. I can almost guarantee when you ask Endgame players who their #1 healing counter is, they'll say Warlock since his heal block is passive and works against healing in any possible circumstance. And Doom is the best power controller in the game. He and Warlock are both the best at what they do but are also extremely versatile which is why they're regarded so highly.
I understand that you didn't want this to turn into another debate, but I just couldn't hold myself from countering your point. Nevertheless, it seems your standpoint is unbending, and so is mine. I will probably always prefer g2099 to warlock, and seems you will always prefer it the other way around. We could argue for days, and never reach a ceasefire, so there's not really much of a point to arguing in general since we've done a lot of that in the past, and never been able to convince the other.
If you think no one mentions it you've missed the memo, she's a ramp up champ. It's plain as day, nobody claims you'll pick her up and she'll shred every fight from the second the quest starts. Same with Aegon, he doesn't need a disclaimer that he's a ramp up champ every time he's brought up.
If you prefer using guardian that's fine, preference doesn't suddenly make him the better option.
Magik and Doom aren't clearing the terminal velocity lane in 6.3. CMM, Aegon, and namor would eat a sp3 after the 5th crit. I implore you to try them and come back.
Don't see where you've gotten the idea g99 isn't used, the only place she hasn't been used is the XL variant and v5.
I'mma go revive one of @KDSuperFlash10's threads now 😃
