Sentinel is probably perfectly rated. He's not the best/worst robot, not the best/worst heal blocker, not the best/worst shock or incinerate champion, etc. He does a lot for you, which is why I also am a fan of IMIW, but it is very hard to tell people with multiple tech champions that he deserves the rank up.
To continue with the thread hijacking by G2099: I recently pulled a G2099 myself. I am not a fan of combo champions, as I always seem to lose combos when I need to maintain it (For example, that node where you have to have 20? hits in combo meter in order to remove indestructible, always seems to cause me to slip up, whereas other fights I can always finish fights without losing my combo). Her combo shield on heavy is a nice safety net, but having to face a Gwenpool is like an instant lose-your-combo-meter matchup. Ramping up to a 100 hits is kind of boring, but she still does a good amount of damage even being sub-100 hits. I haven't been impressed with her Stability regen, as unless you are confident in intercepting (I'm not, since I am worried about losing the combo meter), the rotation of MM parry MM barely increases my health due to the chip damage.
I’m liking @xNig and @Werewrym more and more. Sentinel is easily the 3rd best Tech. He is WAY better than G99. G99 is almost completely impractical in all Engame modes of the game now that Flow Wars are over
Wow, just wow. It's amazing how delusional people can even be...
Impractical in what sense? Even if we're not considering damage, her non-crit nature and combo meter abilities already bypasses a lot of nodes. Her lifesteal and Regen makes her one of the most sustainable and best questing champs in the game. While sentinel has to go through 2 entire special 3 for miniscule regen, I'm already in the subsequent fight with my G99 with basically 20% more health of what I finished the former in by only throwing medium attacks. Her power control is one of the best out there, makes all or nothing fights and energise fights a joke, how about sentinel? That's right, he has no power control abilities. She has a very powerful armor buff, how about sentinel? That's right, he has none.
There's many, many, many more things I could go into, but time cannot permit. When damage comes into play, well there's no need debating anymore cuz we know Guilly is the clear winner in that aspect, and every other one as well.
Seems like you haven't used G99 in act 6 either, because that's the real "endgame" at this moment.
I don't know about G2099. She is too impractical to play for me. I wish she could keep her 100 combo and transfer it from fight to fight with no cost. Aegon can do it and even better, as he can cumulatively build-up his combo.
I don't say she needs to keep her combo in the same way as Aegon, but at least be able to build it up over multiple fights. Her current mechanic rules her out for most of the playerbase and content.
I don't understand? Are you saying that the special 3 requirement should be removed?
There should be at least a more player-friendly alternative. An Aegon-style persistent charge mechanic? I don't know.
I’m just gonna put this out their. I use my r1 Sentinel more than my r1 Warlock. I just maxed deep wounds so that might change but I think I’m gonna rank 2 my Sentinel over Warlock. (Still both great champs)
