Magneto is awesome, don’t get me wrong, and the fact that he absolutely demolishes the 1/3 of the champions (being metal) is really great. He also has some nice utility like armour break, prowess for buffed up, AAR, heal reversal (only 105% but still), nice bleeds for diss track, unstoppable on the heavy for stun immune, bleed and shock resist (90%), 50% perfect block, counter to auto block and miss, the list goes on. But the fact that a good amount of that stuff only activates against a metal champ, coupled with taking his prowess mitigates his insane damage, he’s just not the best mutant in my opinion.
Colossus is insane. Insane damage, great utility, such as: he has lots of armour for buffed up, gains extra combat power rate when under AAR, in-built damage cap, unblockable special 2, very tanky, can effectively stop crits from the fatigue passive, has insane triple immunities of bleed, coldsnap and incinerate, as well as a fourth against non techs of armour break immune, mean he’s the best havok counter in the game. He’s just got so much going for him, but personally I just don’t think he is the best mutant.
Here’s my beef with magneto. I think everyone here can agree he’s complete trash against non metal champs. But hey, 66/190 of the champs in the game are metal. Sounds really good right? Except when you look at this list of 66 champs, only about 10, mayyyyyyybe 15 of them are champs that are actually hard to fight/will give you any trouble without having magneto. The rest of that is just champs like guillotine and og iron man that nobody should struggle with. Well, that’s still good since he can cheese every one of those dooms, warlocks, and g2099s in a quest with no limitations right? Wrong. You’re not getting anywhere if the opponent is stun immune, and his 50% perfect block is nice but his block proficiency is bad enough that if you don’t hit that 50% perfect block often enough, that damage is going to really start to add up pretty quickly. So, in conclusion, you’ve got a champ that makes easy fights easier, or for a very small subset of actually hard fights is reliant on the opponent not being stun immune. I’m not concerned with raw damage, I’m concerned with practicality at the end of the day, which just isn’t something he has. Thank you for reading all of my rant 😅
So yes, he’s not as great in stun immune matchups (a lot of champs aren’t), but he’s not completely dead useless, due to the unstoppable actually having some value in these sorts of matchups. Also, his sig ability gives him crit resistance, so if he gets hit when you’re holding the heavy, there’s much less chance the hit will be critical, increasing your chance to survive.
In my opinion, he’s still practical and decent in stun immune fights.
Also:
“Only about 10 are hard to fight.”
Yeah, it’s not like they’re 10 of the most annoying and difficult defenders to ever deal with or anything. You’re also ignoring the fact that mags is a top 3 korg counter, a champ which shows up on AW defense all the time.
Yeah it’s not like Mags shuts all of them down or anything like that. Not a lot of common, and really annoying defenders in that list huh.
This dude: *forgets to mention him*
