Q for the Devs: why Stark's prestige lower than Blade?

even though Starks needs much higher skill level to master?
the trend used to be either high prestige+ mediocre champ (e.g. Phoenix) or mediocre prestige + strong champ (e.g. Wolverine)
what have changed?
btw, I'm not asking for a nerf, just want to know what was the reason behind this phenomenal that caused leaderboard to has so many Blades as a profile pic!
P.S.: this is the main reason why every single day we see a post talking about Blade nerf

yes, they should buff him , on a side note though, you will see what I know when people will have enough resources to r5 2 or 3 champions, he will STILL be the profile pic due to his high prestige

The only reason is probably because Blade came out later than SS. Just the general trend of new champ release. I sometimes wonder if the devs know exactly how powerful a champ will be in a certain meta before they release them and so prestige seems arbitrary if they can't guess correctly.

As for Blade being easier to use than SS... that's really dependent on the opponent. SS has many matchups and or nodes I would far prefer to bring him over Blade.

oh hi there Ultima,
for the question, probably this is the exact reason (which was a fetal mistake IMHO) and not only for Stark vs Blade , but for Blade vs All

And as for mastering the champ, what I meant was : to play with low risk to die, for example:
for Stark > one failed evade = 50-100% of your HP is gone (and his auto evade some times cause you to get killed if it happened while trying to build poise charges )
for Blade > you don't have to worry about blocked hit (or even direct hit) because you can heal back (most) of it

I'll never understand why Kabam chooses to keep prestige numbers a mystery. They are important to the game and it is silly that players have to rely on third parties to compile this info. So you probably won't get an official answer to your question.

He takes more skill to use when the kid has an auto Evade. Yeah OK.

The real question is why Blade's prestige higher than Stark.

Solrac_2

His prestige is lower than Blades because he is better than Blade.
