I Don't Get The Silk Hype

She's kinda cool, but her play style is stressful and unreliable. Her damage is awful unless you can pull off the very stressful ideal rotation, and even then it's nothing crazy. Her slow is unreliable if you don't keep them against the wall. Her heavy cancel into special, that you need for decent damage, is unreliable and dangerous if the opponent has a special ready. Honestly, without synergies, a relic, and cooperative AI, she's pretty awful. Which is a bummer, cause I really wanted to like her. Hope she gets a rework.

I’m super tempted to make her my first r5 science. Even before scorp. She’s just so smooth and fun to play.
Again, she's got some good matchups, and I enjoy her in some fights, but I stand by her play style being stressful. Maybe stressful isn't the word, perhaps disappointing is a better word for it, since all her buffs are so difficult to keep up.
But that's just my opinion of course, glad y'all enjoy her.
The less silks out there the less I have to ban her. (For now)
You don't always need to keep stacking her debuffs and its okay if they fall off. They're easy enough to build back up to, just use combos and intercepts. As for being AI dependent, you don't always need to fire off a fully ramped special, just play normally imo. She has good dmg either way. Her slow is also pretty good, it lasts indefinitely in the corner, and is applied on heavies too. The duration outside of the corner is pretty short, but you can time your heavies well and it should still be enough for most fights.
(I think OP might be making her more stressful than she really is by trying to maximize her dmg everytime.)
She has her bad matchups; debuff shruggers, debuff immune nodes, high power gain fights, etc. Just don't use her against those, every champ has bad matchups, its completely fine. She's still great for most fights.
I'm half a science t6cc away from being able to take up my first r5 champ, and its going to be Silk. She's up there with Lady D and Elsa as my favourite champs in the game rn. Wanted to keep it short and sweet but I got carried away lol, sorry not sorry. xD
Also if you're not running a relic on silk, then, to put it bluntly, you're just being stupid. Any old relic will do for Silk to be happy. Also in other metas, I used 5* Silk to take down 7* opponents. Also don't underestimate how good of a hulkling counter she is too. You can never have enough Hulkling counters in your deck.
Asking cause im missing scorpion and debating going basics for more 7* shards meanwhile featureds can give trash dupes for 5k more shards
Not to forget Auto-evade on specials built in, great for mediocre players like me and you 😜
VS R3 Domino
VS 200 sig 6R5A Destroyer
Unless I used her in AW and EQ, and I ranked her up and she's going to R3 soon as undupe 7 star
