Who would you R4?

Oakenshield

Just wrapped up 9.2, which was a lot of fun. Thanks Kabam - boss fight in particular was enjoyable.

Given this, I’ve now got the mats to R4 another champ. Here are my current R4s:


I’m primarily thinking of Mystic this time around - I have a lot of good options:


Outside of mystic, Shocker and Okoye are high on my list. Only reason I’m not sure I want to pull the trigger is that they will be banned all the time on BGs, and they are two of my go to champs so not sure I want to do that. With Mystic, the obvious choices are either Chavez or Kushala, but I’m really enjoying my Hood and Longshot so would think about one of them. Again the ban concern though - maybe I do Chavez or Kushala to protect Hood and Longshot from the ban hammer. Juggs of course is always an option, just not sure he really needs R4. Another option is to wait for the current skill Eidol, or wait for one of the champs from next months event.

@Emilia90 the Hood is high on my list - did you end up taking him up? Does he get insta banned in BGs or does he fly under radar?

Thanks all

The Hood - Sig 125

Hood has just such amazing buff stripping, and 9.2 recently showed that its still a vital part of the game. Simple, clean and powerful champion.

No one really bans hood and you can use him outside bgs as well.

Juggs - Sig 46

Overkill, but fun

Longshot - Sig 117

Longshot just cooks

Not surprised Okoye is doing so well, but worried she will be banned all the time if I rank her. Leaning towards the Hood so far based on the input. That said, pretty even so welcome any additional suggestions.

Mystics will be OP this upcoming season of BG (at least in VC and first two weeks of GC).
So whichever mystic you R4 will be high on the ban list.
And then by next BG season I'm sure you'll have or be close to another R4.
So just rank up whoever you like the most.
I've been tempted by Juggs myself but can't pull the trigger for some reason. It seems like when the matchup works, he doesn't need R4, and if it's not a good matchup, R4 won't help.

Longshot - Sig 117

He's My boi.

Juggs - Sig 46

Yeah I’m with you on Juggs. I think it is down to the Hood vs. Longshot. Both are great. I think @captain_rogers might be right about the Hood flying under radar and not getting banned as often. I think an R4 Longshot would get banned all the time.
