Can someone explain the reasoning why Infamous Ironman is considered better than Nimrod?

I am watching famous youtubers mentioning this in their chats that Infamous is better than Nimrod.
I fought against Red Mag, Nimrod is better.
I fought against Vision Aarkus/Venom/King Groot/ sersi, Nimrod is better.
I mean granted that Infamous has good utilities and the best prestige but I dont understand why they put Nimrod below infamous Ironman.
In fact Nimrod doesn't even need his sig ability to be good!
And please be polite! Thanks

    I recently got nimrod as 6*
    Took him to R2. I already had iDoom as 5* R5 (sig40)
    I personally find nimrod to be better

    He’s not. Some YouTubers don’t know what they’re talking about.

    There are a lot of people who don't really have him yet (me).

    I will say that your Red Mag comparison is a little lopsided, since Nimrod negates the AAR from magnetism.

    All of those cosmics are very different.

    Try infamous against Bishop compared to Nimrod.

    Many of the YouTubers do care about prestige, which Infamous is #1.

    It also seems like Infamous has a pretty specific rotation compared to Nimrod's very easy one (which I love).

    If I get an infamous, he will go to R4 and join my Nimrod there.

    infamous is a niche champ that combines with doom/Nimrod do, but is not even close to as good as either of them. Jack of all trades, as they say.
    Youtubers are sipping that kool Aid.
    only thing going for him is that absurd prestige.

    Semi related question. If i pick a tech nexus today and open it after 21.02 (the day idoom moves to the basic poll), will i get a chance to get him in that nexus?
