Lets all face it Blade is pretty overrated, people act like he can do so much on his own. When in reality he can't without his synergies his danger sense only activates against like 3 or 4 champs and even then this.countering isn't even reliable as he only lowers ability accuracy by 45%. His regen just has you ending up taking equal or more block damage when you try to use it in higher up content. His perfect block bleed is.pretty short, his l1 bleeds are longer but have average or maybe even below average damage, and his sp2 bleeds are really short. Yes he is good an all but lets face it he isnt the one man army people act like he is, he needs those Syngeries to be as good as he is actually perceived.
And before people go "I bet you don't actually have him" yes i do as a 5* Duped and at r2. Just waiting on the current elusive t4 skill cats to rank him to r3.

Is he the master of all utility champs? No, but I still think he's a top champ.
I never understood why people called him the best, I personally take in medusa and stark way more than I do him. Those are my two favorite champs by the way I could take them anywhere and they would do great. 3rd is iceman.
He's special because he counters mystics, which was a long standing problem.
but where he shines is when I used him to 100% act v and in aw attack, the synergy just to good,
people just complain because they see him all the time and he shines really good in aw attack,with ghost riders who has godlike utility and starky who is also has some of the best utility in the game.
If only AW defense synergy works then things will get even better.
we need more champs synergy like this, Wasp just came out but most of synergy are defensive/utility but its not like we use yj/antman anywhere in the game. Wasp seems like abeast defensive champion but aw defensive synergy doesn't even work.
I think he is a decent damage dealer (but no match for sparky, medusa or void without danger sense.)
He can counter some annoying champs (Dorms and Magik without the synergy, Void or mephisto with the synergy)
I don't think that he relies on the synergy, since most annoying defenders that are villains are dimensional beings.
But the reason that I really love him is because he saves me so many revives/health pots with his regen. I think even as a four star, he is the best burst-regen champ in the game. (Even better than Wolverine, because wolverine needs a lot of power to heal a lot and needs to proc it, while blade can do a few combos and hold block to heal.)
At the time of his release, he was definitely worth all the hype. He was an answer to so much of the unavoidable damage and BS abilities that had been thrown out in the game. And at the time, he dominated the war meta because he blew through a lot of the most commom defenders that were being used. He was also a valuable questing champ (and still is imo) especially with the trinity synergy because you will come up against a lot of opponents were danger sense will be very valuable. Plus his regeneration makes him a sustainable champ,and his bleed isn't anything to scoff at either.
Now, since he came around, there have been more champs released/that are now available in basic crystals that blade doesn't necessarily counter, perhaps making him seem a little less valuable than he used to be. But don't sleep on him, there are certainly many scenarios in the current state of the game that make him a very desirable champ.
Just my two cents.
Edit: spelling errors and clarity.
That said, he isn't overrated. Maybe when you r4/r5 him you'd see his full potential
I find that makes him very useful a few stacks of bleed has him gaining power at the same rate as hyperion..
All in all he's a great champ but slightly over hyped..
When I got him, he became a GAME CHANGER for me. Fights that are previously taking much longer, more tedious, suddenly became so easy and became child's play. Does it mean no need for skill? No, I don't mean that. I just mean he RELEASES me to move forward to face even tougher challenges at higher level.
I will NOT hesitate to rank my 5* Blade to R5/65 as soon as I get all the necessary resources. However, he is not the one single answer to everything. Nobody is in mcoc. So eventually I'll still need to build up my Medusa, Quake, Hela or Proxima Midnight, Void, etc, each for diff usage and diff purpose.
p/s: I still like my 5* medusa, my quake, my SW, my Magik, my X23, etc etc ... but blade is a significant game changer for me.
Terms like "best champ in game" and "over-hyped" are thrown around far too freely, as beyond personal preference, a lot of champions are situational. For instance, Star Lord as we know is an incredible champion that rewards skill with immense damage - for long fights against opponents with very high health, he is probably the best champion in the game (nodes aside). But throw in something that poisons him or makes him bleed (or that awful Electro in LoL), and suddenly he's not so great.
As Kabam find new and exciting ways of creating challenging content, you're going to need a varied roster to deal with it, and will have to sub in and out certain champions for certain synergies. AW is already going this way with some of the new nodes, and story content and AQ has been like it for a quite a while.
No champion is a deus ex machina, so stop putting them on pedestals; you'll be less angry when Kabam 'fixes' them and knocks them off.
Looks like deadpool has gotten a kabam account to repeat what he said in June's EQ🤣
He may not be the best in the game, but let's admit, no one is. That was just your opinion on him, it doesn't mean everyone shares the same opinion as you.
I personally think his bleed damage is above average, specially with deep wounds since he benefits a lot from it. His danger sense is helpful to end fights quickly, and the ability accuracy reduction works during the whole fight without needing to do anything to trigger it.
I only have Ghost Rider to Synergize with him but even then it's not always a good fight.
That being said, Blade still destroys all Mystics and Villains. Blade is still hella strong, even without his DS he has a really good heal. There's a reason people go through LOL cheaply with Blade, even when he doesn't have DS against most of the champs.

To talk about how he isn't all great by himself like people make him out to be.
Medusa and SS against Dorm? I’m sure you’ll try to make seem like they’re viable, but they’re really not.
Calm down bladelover101, I wasn't calling blade a bad champ. I was giving my opinion on who I like more. And I'm guessing you're talking about a dorm boss? When I said I could take them anywhere I ment in pretty much any game mode, AW defense, offense, quests and so on.
Lol why are you telling me to calm down? I’m not a Blade lover I just pointed out one instance in which both of those champs aren’t viable. I’ve heard plenty of people using Magik for Dorm and I use Cap myself against him. Don’t know why you got so worked up. It’s only a game man
