  Abs or rintrah. I can fight rintrah fine if I just bait sp1s and I'm careful, but he takes forever. Abs has so many immunities and he's just so annoying

  Best BGs mystic defender is imo Kindred. Maybe it's just me and I suck but I sometimes still get caught with the root while being under a bar of power and lose like 50% of my health lol. Oddly enough I never struggle with the other four you mentioned but again, maybe that's just me.

  I agree with ClobberinTime here, I don’t really struggle with these 4 nowadays. Between Silk, Titania, Photon, Overseer, hulk, spot, Ham, scorp, torch, and Cassie, there’s pretty much always a super easy nuke for most of these champs. Abs is also a cakewalk with Tigra. Obviously every champ has their counters, but Kabam’s made science so insanely stacked that most of these champs aren’t much of a threat
  
  I’d say that Rintrah can still be annoying if you happen to not draft any of the champs above, but there’s not many scenarios where I do that anymore lol. Mephisto would be the one that can be the most annoying even with some of these champs cause of aura

  For this meta, abs man.
  For others, I still hate fighting doom

  Abs best on here but overall going kindred if he gets the degens it’s over without a degen counter rintrah worst one on here stupid easy no matter what rank sig he has

  Is that the reason abs has the lead as people interpreted it for this meta? Cause it applies for in general

  You know if you fail to dex that sp2, without an incinerate immune champ is over.
  Let alone that if he places a shock on you and you haven't noticed, you will end up get slapped back to the lobby 😂

  I didnt put Kindred in the poll because of him having a 7 star (im not sure how the 7s20 compares to 6sig200).
  
  I can make a new thread with Kindred but if it came down to who to r5/ascend between him and Mephisto, I think mephisto takes it because even if he came out as a 7 star he really wants s200.
  
  And like mentioned above that incinerate aura causes problems for even the top science champs (not the current meta)

  Personally, I think Kindred needs that sig 200 too to be a true menace on defense. At sig 20 the root is too short and the increased degen potency too low to deal any meaningful damage (especially against experienced players who know how to fight him). 9 times out of 10 he will get clapped, at sig 200 there is more room for error, a lot actually. I would definitely pick a sig 200 6* ascended over a sig 20 7* and I wouldn't even think about it twice.
  
  Mephisto would definitely get my vote though if Kindred didn't exist. The thing with Mephisto is he's easier to counter than Kindred (especially with Torch). Mephisto is a very slow fight without a counter, Kindred on the other hand isn't as much of a slow fight but he's ten times more dangerous than Mephisto and nowadays health > speed so yeah that's my thought process.

  And his tanky and his block pen is also solid.
  And it's not recommended to bait sp1 as well if the champs get buffs. 1 mistake his backhand will be in domestic abuse mode

  Mephisto s200

  he is really underrated . he might not be a solid attacker as the other 3 , but he is the most annoying champ as a defender and require a specific counter

  Not really, you just have to be careful with the aura. He stalls a lot but you can kill him without counters, it's doable.

  I think out of all of these, he’ll probably stall the longest with aura + regen + refusing to throw specials. Abs/Rintrah/Doom are pretty easy to nuke with most of the champs I listed above and you’ll probably be done in less than a minute, but Mep will stall the longest without a good counter imo. I’ve had a few matches where I didn’t draft a good counter and he stalled forever

  Yeah thats exactly why i see him as the top spot, but i did not do my homework on Kindred and haven’t fought him much. Is there more of a likelihood to lose the match against him than mephisto?
