Ehhh I don't know about that Sinister Onslaught Bastion Jack are incredibly versatile and not mid for other meta defenders at all. Also, Juggs Starky and Tigra can do Onslaught way better than they can do Zola.

I do agree that Bullseye and Onslaught are better defenders, but Zola is in the same territory in the sense that without a counter you're cooked.

Zola is an excellent defender. He’s even underrated because many forget that you can’t reduce his ability accuracy or power rate. That means you can’t remove problematic nodes like that recent bgs where they get evade and unstoppable after their specials. That means you can’t use neutralise for example to get rid of it so tigra is useless against him. Also you can’t easily knull Zola because you can’t reduce his combat power rate. Easily the best tech defender

also I haven’t received my titan either

yea but that doesn’t make him a hard defender the only thing is he has non contact attacks so that’s hard but otherwise I have never had a problem in taking him and juggs wrecks him this meta

Ragnaruk5178

Juggs is an ideal counter and he's broken so that's not really helping your case. Also your forgetting how he reduces critical damage almost completely, his large armour rating and his cowardice of 90%. He also has a damage cap

You say you have never had a problem taking him and then mention Juggs, this is like saying I have never had a problem with Bullseye I have Sinister.

Also it's not just the non contacts, you have to knock him down with heavies constantly which already limits the pool of champs you can use and if that wasn't enough you also can't use champs whose main source of damage are special hits because he places that massive cowardice on you during specials.

Then there's also the meta, rich get richer allows champs who normally wouldn't work like Galan to take him. Just because he's been a little meh because of the metas doesn't mean he's actually bad.

What war and BG ranks you play to have such strong opinions. People should know where you are coming from.

He's stated his favorite (and supposedly best counter in the game) for Bullseye in BGs is 6* Kitty so my guess is not even Uru or Vibranium.

also its my opinion i am entitlentitled to like whichever champs I do to counter others

I'm guessing the comp could take some time to get out considering how big the window they gave extending to September 15. I'm guessing either the end of the week or beginning of next, but honestly don't know only make possible suggestions of when it will be.

If you're winning fights against r3 or r4 Zolas with a 6* Kate or 7* Angela then this further supports the idea that you are a low rank BGs player because in GC neither of them can put up a good enough score to compete with the actual counters who can nuke him which aren't that many.

did I say I play gc I said I stop after getting there I play one match to get radiance then stop and fyi a 7r3 karolina can take zola so can juggs and others I listed I mainly only face r2s and the occasional r3 and if an opponent has an r4 I ban them no matter what cuz I dont feel like fighting such large healthpools sorry that I have opinions tho

Besides everything you copied and pasted here being completely wrong, odds are only calculated per crystal and not in batches and the drop rate is equal chances across 18 champs, or in this instance, 17. Also, they're giving you a choice of Zola or a titan. So you don't need 10 comp crystals to try and pull zola.

Ragnaruk5178

He clearly is a tough defender if you've engineered your deck to completely counter him 😑

Ragnaruk5178

That's like me saying that onslaught is a bad defender because I run maker jack bastion and solvarch

Ragnaruk5178

No comp yet 🙂‍↔️

my deck isn’t built to counter him I just like ranking up those champs so I put them in my deck and I like to play them and you don’t need any specific champ to counter Zola as long as you can heavy counter and they don’t rely on special damage

How do you think he's going to be with this brand new meta that just started today?

Kinda meh, it's not a great meta for him again all his usual counters like Juggs Cull Starky and Gladiator get supercharged, and then others that normally wouldn't work like Galan can also do it. He's still decent cause he will stall a bit regardless but it's a lot harder to trap people with him right now.

You're mentioning direct counters which makes absolutely no sense, this is like saying "Onslaught is bad I have Bastion and Jack", just because you're using counters doesn't mean the defender is bad with that logic every defender in the game is bad even Serpent who has a few hard counters too.

You don't need to be sorry, but your opinion is wrong lol calling Zola a bad defender is objectively wrong.

clearly u have difficulty fighting him I don’t that’s my point same can be said about enchantress I don’t have a hard time fighting her unless it’s power gain but many do it’s and opinion for a reason and I am entitled to feel a certain way about a Champ so no it doesn’t matter fyi I have killed Zola easily with people like torch herc and black widow and many others I’m not trying to invalidate the way you feel so don’t do the same to me

Again neither of those will get you any wins in GC against a higher rank Zola, you've admitted you don't bother with GC so it makes sense why your opinion is what it is. How about you actually play in GC this season and see how many wins you can actually get against Zola without a strong counter? Guarantee you're gonna lose most rounds purely because of time. The only reason you're beating him in VT with less than ideal counters is because everyone who doesn't make it to GC sucks, so it no longer comes down to who finished faster but who lost more hp. Zola doesn't have guaranteed chip damage unless you push him to sp2, the only thing he has is a guaranteed stall (sometimes timeout) when you don't have a counter.

and again you are not understanding my point also if I played those matches it wouldn’t be cuz of Zola I would be losing I would be losing cuz of roster difference I only have one r4 and like 5r3 that’s not gonna get me anywhere in gc
