So why is moleman regarded as a bad champion? From his description, he sounds like you just need to parry and heavy to get a lot of damage in.

    Everyone was hyped about him from his description - either no ones figured out an effective way of using him yet, or his just not that great.

    I sound like a broken record at this point, but point A I believe.

    He was an absolute beast in this months side quest, Hades Invasion (shock path).
    IMO he's a hella good champ, if you use him right he can plow thru opponents with his crits. Hes basically a skilled Corvus..

    I suspect that he has the same issue as Kingpin (another somewhat lackluster champ): He's designed to be a tricky defender, and ramps up to an aggressive phase by powering up on debuffs.

    This makes him a potentially decent champ, but only in the right situations.

    In a typical fight he'll probably be a bit rubbish.

    In an evade fight (like Mixmaster) or against an opponent like MODOK, his True Accuracy will be plenty valuable.

    However, if you seek out a fight with unavoidable debuffs (plenty of nodes for this; like Long Distance Relationship, Rain of Fire, Energy Adoption, Biohazard) he'll ramp up fast and aggressively. In these fights, he's probably decent.

    Think of him as a champion to (1) stick on AW defense, and (2) pull out of your pocket for certain debuff-heavy matches, and he's probably got some value.

    He has the problem of damage or utility. Plus his base stats could use some love.

    Speaking of Moleman, what happened to @TheKiryu 's vid about that Mercy path in Act 7 beta?
    Seemed like Kabam are designing a path that only Moleman can counter.

    His damage rampup is a bit too long and doesn't enough of a payoff and he sacrifises a very useful utility in the process.

    His ok. But like the synergies he gives to Doom and Abomination (who is juiced up with Red Guardian and Modok synergies)
