Best in current meta does not mean BGT. BGT doesn’t mean the answer to everything. You can have a BGT champ that sucks in a current Meta.
I think it is important to state here that regardless of what anyone has said in the thread, you have the right to express your own evaluation of the champions, and everyone else should respect it for what it is. But you should also consider that saying something is "overrated" or "underrated" is a form of challenge. When you throw down that challenge, you have to expect someone is going to pick it up. In fact, most people will assume that you're actually looking for an argument when you say that, because it is so obviously a challenge.
Remember these are discussion forums, and most discussion is about disagreement, not agreement. There's only one way to agree, but there are an infinite number of ways to disagree.
- do u know he still works great for labyrinth still top 5 options in labyrinth
- at 10 poise charge he can get over 7k+ attack and 5k crit rate(depending on sig)
- u can shut evades with sp3(long fights like labyrinth)
- his sp2 +shock does over 50-60k every time.
---- lets talk about overtime nerf on him that happens with every update on every OP champion
- he never evades specials anymoree like he used to. u always get hit.supposed to b 60% but now it might b 0-20%
- his random evades r more offen n gets u smacked in face n dead
Stark, blade and GR are STILL killing it in AW and AQ
Stark,MM,Venom,Vulture,Electro teams for ROL ( farming pots) LOL and variant 3.
Also Ghost is not crazy hard at all. Learn phase timing and hit counter and that's it. She's my main, and I personally find her far more enjoyable than Starky because you build her up by hitting the opponent. I hate spending time building poise.
I mean i was overwhelmed when i first got him as a 4 ★,
But he was my first god tier 4 star
Later on, i realised that his low block proficiency is a bane when fighting huge pi opponents
He does take a bit damage even on parrying
And takes a bit time to get poise charges
I am not saying that sparky is a bad champ
But in comparison to others, he falls short of certain abilities.
You like him? K
You don't like him? K
Nobody cares.
Personal opinions and discussions are always welcome but this ain't either.
You know the meta has changed when champs are released specific counters to champions, like annhilus will go unstoppable as soon as he gets taunt on him, korg gets unstoppable when you dex, korg's specials can't be auto evaded, fury's specials cannot be evaded and so on.
So that takes us to my final opinion, sparky was my go to for all the things, he was my first r5, my first 2 labyrinth paths, and had been a staple in most of my aw. But now i get him in for specific fights, like all or nothing nodes, robots and other older characters in aw with ghost being my main.
Parry heavy strategy with sparky at 10 poise hitting 20k heavies is still op imo. I killed the 6.1.4 biohazard xbones with sparky and revives cause i didn't have a champ that could deal with bio hazard at that time.
1. He doesn't need a ramp up, just a few dexes here and there.
2. He can deal with aon
3. He can stun lock on power reserve
4. Shock does 2x damage to robots
5. If enemy is under taunt, you take less damage
6. I'd say he's in the top 5 for labyrinth clearers
7. Put on suicides and he'll hit so hard you don't need to launch specials
8. Can counter evade with ensnare
9. At 10 poise he'll hit 4/5 crit hits in a combo while above 50%
10. He can deal with unblockable special nodes easily
11. He can deal both physical damage and energy damage to deal with someone who has immunity against one of those.
12. There are probably more uses but I'm yoo lazy to write them all
In the end, everyone has a playstyle, i can't quake and bake, you don't like dexing, ghost is great, still have to master some more aspects, so why criticise a champ that you don't like using while others do, it's not like they'll give you RTDs or something for not liking a champ. Just enjoy who you like playing with, every champ has a place in the game, even if it is trash, cause someone being trash will end up making someone else BGT.
As said in the incredibles: " If everyone will be a superhero, no one will be."
Not sure if you've played with starky but alot of the weaknesses you said can be avoided.
Aura of incineration damage is completely avoidable when using starky or any champion actually, just stay away.
Unless the unstoppable has a very long duration or keeps on triggering, starky can handle the fight. I use mine to fight juggernauts and UCs all the time without issue.
True strike also doesn't stop starky if you can dex the specials, in fact he won't randomly evade so that helps.
Korg thorns can be avoided by just using light attacks. I use starky to fight korg, even though building poise can be a problem there
I've never had regen fights that starky can't outdamage, only champs with insane health pools and regen that scales with their health like 1% regen rogue in variant he can't take.
Though electro and bleed/ poison fights are definitely his weakness. With suicides, making sure you kill the opponent with the sp2 can avoid recoil, or not using specials at all, his damage is still insane.
Proceeds to mention AA as a better champ despite having absolutely nothing left if ability to bleed or poison is removed or rendered counter-productive.
What's next? All nullify champs are "overrated" due to the game's changing meta of normalizing passive buffs?
Lol Come on now.
I've cleared a ton of content with my 5/65 Sparky. Yes, there are nodes he isn't great on, but that's true for most champs in this game. And given these things are all personal preference, and I like champs who can really deal the damage, he still takes a spot of "top champ" for me.
