@Starscean98 he isn't bad. Just one of those champs that doesn't really do anything better than everyone else. He has good armor break and good stuns. Long parry stuns too. I have a sig 40 5* and I took him to rank 3 for expiring cats. I think he's a solid champ but nothing more.
You'd be surprised how many people ask this question!
Netflix Daredevil is a fairly solid champion; but not great; and he faces one major problem - he doesn't really have any tricks that someone else can't do better.
If you can get past a bit of disappointment that he's not Blade or Killmonger or someone like that, though: He's very tough, with great base statistics (on par with Cap America), a good perfect block, decent damage on Specials, and he's got a bit of bonus projectile evade-ability (you can't rely on it, but it kicks in a lot more often than you might think).
Daredevil also isn't affected by Invisibility; and yours will get a useful boost to his crit rates when affected by any debuff. He can stack armour breaks endlessly (I often get 8-10), so add in masteries like Parry, Pacify, Petrify and Despair; and he can do some serious harm.
Daredevil's armour breaks are one of his major selling points; and to use them, you need to adopt a parry/stun fighting style with him; which many advanced players don't usually do (his perfect block makes this a fairly safe thing to do, though).
You can easily take him to a fight against an Armoured tank like Hulkbuster (or someone on an Armoured node), with a Parry-Med-Med, Parry-Med-Med, Parry-Med-Med approach, and get 6 or 7 armour breaks on them.
So he's a fairly solid attacker; great against Armoured champs; but doesn't have any more utilitarian abilities.
All in all: He's not trash; if you play to his strengths and your opponent isn't stun immune, he's pretty handy in a fight, with the resilience to keep going for a while.
Thanks everyone for sharing their experiences. Yeah i got that @Magrailothos. He has some uses here and there. I do use parry lot often and get 3 armor breaks per parry. His signature ability I still don't understand.
(PS. - I'm not a very new player nor very experienced. More of a mid range noob. Please forgive my nooby queries)
