Not many Champions have both Bleed and Poison Immunity within the Skill-Class which has weakness versus Mutant and nor does Tech-Class which counters the Mutant-Class. Additionally he does have a few decent External Synergies depending on who you partner him with too.
Compared to Colossus; Arch-Angel would be an upgrade for potential Damage-Per-Second with many useful Utility options. Only Wolverine could rival Arch with Bleed Damage amongst his Health Regeneration for a strong combination of Damage and Defense. Having both Arch-Angel and DarkHawk has allowed me to become comfortable with both play-styles.
I thought that not long ago, but decided to take him to r5 because I had spare resources, after playing around with him in 6.4 he’s definitely not overrated, tons of damage and utility, he is somewhat niche but nowhere near to the extent of someone like sym, but in a good matchup he’s just as good as someone like sym would be
Everyone has their limitations. You can effectively use AA in stun immune limber nodes. You just have to fight better. If you rely on parry then... AA isn’t the right champ for you. You can intercept specials with a heavy, heavies with his heavy and he places bleeds and poisons with specials.
And just so you know his Neuro toxins expiring will stun a stun immune aw boss. And he has multiple ways of getting poison besides blocking and of getting bleed besides heavy.
Heavy is just the most efficient way.
In my opinion, the Special 1 is the best way to get poison/neurotoxin

Dude, why are you reviving this post? It's already been revived before.
Ive barely been playing this game half a year and got cavalier because of AA, so tell me, is he overrated?
Haha he was unduped when he carried me through cav and still is, but the moment I awaken him, he’ll go straight to r5. Not everyone understands AA. Yes he doesn’t work on everyone, but for the champs he does work on, he has 100% AAR, Domino only has 15. Not to mention Domino needs other synergy members to match AA damage. He’s a stand alone champion that doesn’t need synergies or suicides to be good (yet benefits off them since you dont have to throw sp1 or sp2) Did I mention the regen counter and being AAR immune? So if anything hes not overrated, he’s underrated
I am going to have to disagree with you there he is actually is very very underrated
He can clear entire lanes in act 6 out of shear damage output and he can clear almost everyone on those paths because of his insane ability accuracy reduction
Archangel is the best champ in the game when there is a non-immune opponent. In 99% of scenarios, that is.
*cough* Quake *Cough*
0 blocked hits, 0 contact, 100% AAR, still better than AA against non-immunes at least imo.
I say better because of the speed and efficiency at which he does it. Don't forget that sym supreme, doctor strange, OG black widow, black widow DO, hit monkey and a lot of other anti-quake champs exist.
