What are your guys' most criminally OVERRATED champions?

A thread for champions that everyone hypes up, yet don't really do something extremely notable that other champs can't.

Two of mine:

Domino and Sunspot.

Domino is far too RNG based and is outshined by so many better mutants.

My 6* R3 Sunspot got used on two paths in 7.3 exploration. Also outshined by other mutants.

After completing lab I don’t use my Aegon very often.

Not sure I’d say he’s overrated though

Venom. His biggest claim to fame is an evade counter that only works against 9 champs. 2 of which don't even have evade in their base kit.

I agree to a point, however I don't think people really hype him up or use him outside of for AOL/LOL anyways. Maybe on a few paths in Act 7, but other than that he's not really used. He's the best champion in the game at 999 combo, but that's really only possible in AOL/LOL. So agree with you in a way.

Agree that his evade counter in overrated but I think Venom is overall a super solid champion. Evade counter was never his huge thing.

I really don't think there are that many overrated champs. Most of the champions that people say are really good are indeed really good.

Lots of underrated champions though.

I wouldn't say criminally overrated, but I really don't get the hype behind G99. Like, I get that she's good, got some good abilities, but I really don't see what puts her so high up with the best.

Smurf Supreme, between her havok level passive power gain and Joe fixit regen, I can't follow the hype she has.

Such huge damage on basic hits.

She regens from 15-50% every fight which saves a lot of revives and health potions. Has a beefy armour up which makes block damage a lot more manageable, she can also crit when needed, power burn and life steal. She has lots of combo shields that also act as a protection in a way (if awakened) when getting hit can phase for a long time and it has saved my butt a couple of times. End fights with special three and it insta kills if they're at 4% (this does not override hit caps like rage or abyss) so every fight you finish with it your biggest hit is shown as a couple billion damage.You can power control super easily if needed even thru block (sp1), or get a bunch of hits and a heal reverse (sp2).

Basically, you don't need to heal her up, you go in with a big combo and within a few combos and a special two you're melting the opponent with passive damage and degeneration (which few champions are immune to). You won't take a lot of block damage, don't have to worry about losing your combo as much as with star lord or Aegon, and no matter the health pool that last four percent is an instant sp3 kill.

I didn't really get the hype either until I started using my 6*, she's at r2, can't see her going to r3. Very good tho. Don't use her all the time, but for instance the apoc sidequest she was great.

Ah well, that is pretty helpful.
Probably won't end up using her anyway, since my tech roster overcompensates for everything at this point, but it's nice to know.

Anything she can do that Warlock, Guardian and Ghost don't cover?

I mean if you need a high combo ramp up champ that can do 14k a hit at 600 combo?

I just use her for different scenarios. TBF I ranked and sigged my guardian, never used him. Ghost I use all the time in story quest for dot and quick fights with minimal damage taken. Warlock is great against power and regen.

Guilly is good for lanes with poison and bleed and armour breaks if you need someone who can tank hits and just do damage. Ghost can only do so much without dot and especially without buffs, Guardian can ramp but its very slow and doesn't work on shock immunes, warlock is fantastic.

You sorta have to experiment with her for yourself. For me, she fills a couple gaps I have in my roster, but if you have Warlock, Gaurdian and Ghost up as well as not really feeling like you need her, guilly is fine to stay on the bench.

Direct damage she deals is superior to everything.

Got to be consistent with her. She's one of those champions that isn't really for everyone, like Omega Red, but in the right hands can be absolutely dangerous.

Lizer with Omega Red is absolutely deadly, but I don't like Omega Red or his playstyle at all.

RavenKeeper

Funny enough, I think Lizer is also a big fan of G99 😂

Can't agree with this one. Summoner Supreme is disgusting. Watch some of Vega of MCOC's recent war videos, you will see.

LOL this is a funny thread.

Domino, Sunspot, Elsa, G2099, Venom and Sorcerer Supreme are all overrated?

First, no. All of the champs mentioned are pretty amazing. I've used all of them in Act 7 multiple times. Domino shreds in Variant 8. Each has great uses throughout the contest, and that's what matters. Do you have a better mystic champ than Sorcerer Supreme? Great, then use that champ. Doesn't mean SS is overrated.

Second, and more importantly, who is overrating them? There are about zero posts on this forum touting them as the best champs, only threads like this one in which people claim they are overrated without showing where. No one is claiming they're the best of their respective classes.

IMO most overrating happens when a new champ is announced (Knull, for example), and people claim the champ is going to be the next BGT attacker before they've even used said champ. Happens a lot.

Domino and Sunspot are, I disagreed with the others tho lol

ReignkingTW

I definitely agree with SunSpot. Overly reliant on parry.

She needs points in MD then both your points are completely void, she can do fights purely throwing specials and finish with a full yellow bar, like this month annihilus side quest for eg, destroys it.

Aegon, I really regret r5-ing him.

I'm sorry guys but he has really fell from the spotlight. He's still good, but he's not the best ramp up champion anymore.

Stryfe has taken that title in my opinion, he can do basically what Aegon does at his core while providing unique utility with the same huge numbers, all in less time as well.

I don’t think Ægon was design for your everyday quest and fights. He’s one of the best if not the best for marathon kind of fights which is okay.
Still, think some champs could use some new synergies that gives them a little you know. Ægon for instance, maybe a synergy that allows him to double combo during his 1st fight or something. It’s nothing really but a little push for non-marathon fights. Another example is MS if duped requires 4 fights to reach max charges without synergy. Act 7 fights are mostly 6 fights to Boss (rarely you even see in other contents 6+ fights) some of which she may not be viable either due to nodes or defenders. She cannot be ramped up with suicides unless with synergy. Proxima another example, maybe a synergy to carry forward the last completed mission into the next fight or even a synergy that allows to shuffle through missions. All these little nuisances make some champs just not worth it to use often, thus we’re mostly using the same popular champs. Just my opinion or something I’d do.

CGR is by far the most overrated champ in the game. Wish I could get my cosmic T5cc back .

You’re right, she’s absolutely dangerous. One guy in my old ally was a big fun, he kept talking about her and I decided to give my 6star a chance and she’s one of my favorite. She has several utilities, her only downside was losing combo if you slip up but I noticed when I duped mine (tech gem) her sig ability is really essential. I’m working of taking mine to max sig for that guarantee combo protection.

I think that all hyped champs are overrated. I’ve tried them all at some point in time in various content, and the gameplay is still terrible. I can’t think of any other reason that would be other than the champs just aren’t good.

No other possible reason.

Bad champs.
