Diablo or Tigra?

ShenAbuser

I am thinking of diablo because his synergy with my r3 doom is really good (100% crit chance heavy) and he is gonna help me with villans variant but i heard that tigra is really good too. I am looking for villan and mystic variant 100% and act 6/7 100% any tips?
I dont run suicides and recovery mastery.

Both are incredible champions. I have my Diablo at r3 and my Tigra at r4. Diablo helped me clear so much in Act 7 while Tigra has been my constant MVP in the Eternity of Pain so far. I'll take Diablo to r4 eventually as well.

So who do you choose? Diablo is the easier champion to play. Not saying he's a simple champion but there is a huge learning curve with Tigra. She's similar to Ghost and Quake in that respect. However, she can also be similar to those two champs in that she - when mastered - is an absolutely broken-tier goddess. Her ability to completely shut down defenders' buff gains is amazing, and her ability to completely avoid special attacks' projectiles is stupidly powerful. A lot of annoying defenders with long projectile SPs that you have a hard time dexing (think Punisher 2099, Winter Soldier and War Machine's specials, to name a few) become nothing more than a source of power for you since you gain a small amount of power each time you avoid a projectile.

All of that said, I would probably rank up Diablo and then try Tigra out extensively before committing to her. Try out her ability to avoid those special attacks. One of the tricky things about her is that you kind of have to learn to avoid each defender's special attacks separately. There's no single trick to it. As soon as you begin charging your heavy attack in order to avoid the special, you've committed to that heavy attack and have to release it eventually. You have to be sure that you'll make contact with your opponent, otherwise the risk is high that you'll get smacked.

She's soooo rewarding to play when you know what you're doing and she's probably my favorite champion in the game, but I'm always a little bit hesitant about recommending her. I ranked her up on a whim back when I first got my 5* (way before the real hype around her started) since I wanted a mystic champion that felt different from the rest. She fit that bill perfectly.

Diablo is a bit more of a standard mystic in that way, but he's also a poison machine. If you want buff control, he has it; but if you don't need it, you can instead opt out of it and instead strengthen his poisons from the get-go. Similarly, he has the ability to become resistant to armor breaks and stuns, or heal back 70% of any energy damage he takes - if you want or need those pieces of utility. If not, again, you can decide not to activate those utilities and instead focus on making his poisons as potent as possible. He's an incredibly well-designed champion.

You can't go wrong either way. I'll just say this: you'll most likely enjoy Diablo if you rank him up. With Tigra, you might enjoy her if you put in the time and effort to learn to play her properly. If that's something you want to do, do it. You won't regret it. But if you just want a good god-tier rank-up, it might be better to do Diablo.

Thanks, I think Diablo is best option for me because i got maxed out Kingpin mr F and Doom and that makes a really solid team. I have never used Tigra brfore I even forgot that she is in the game but when i saw her yellow numbers in EOP from youtube i thought she would be an intresting rankup as well. I think i can learn her because i mastered Quake really fast and i am getting better at "ghosting". I will go for Diablo 1st. Thanks for really detailed answer.
