    Fun Fact: The Rhino's armor is so effective, that there's an outdated meta from the human playerbase of crafting their own armor from the loot of defeated Rhinos. This tactic was especially common in the Han faction until more easily obtainable harvestable drops were discovered.

As much as I love TZ content, this one felt half baked like the cheetah one. He didn't have all the basic facts (Rhinos can actually see pretty well), and the final rank felt biased when compared to the match up spread shown earlier. The video felt rushed in general. I'd rather quality over quantity TZ, if you happen to read this.

    I feel like the griefing done by human players in the poachers clan should have been mentioned in this video. Without that, putting rhinos in D tier is unwarrented.
    Rhinos being vulnerable to intimidation is not nearly enough of a weakness to justify their placement, as being scared off does little to negatively impact their playthrough, as they are herbivores. In fact, it prevents them from taking even more unnecessary risks than they already do.

    I’m a little mixed on this one. On one hand, I agree completely that rhino weaknesses are easily exploitable, and that friendly fire is a huge issue with their strategy. However, having a one sided fight against lions, and holding their own against elephants, hippos, and crocodiles has to be worth something.
    If the human player base didn’t grief them so hard, maybe rhinos could have a more dominant spot in the meta, but the human player base loves being toxic for the sake of it, while also getting more premium currency out of it.

Also living in herds, elephants are able to overcome the biggest weakness, defending respawns. Rhinos so easily losing their young and taking so long to respawn automatically puts them in D tier.

    • @LegendStormcrow
      @LegendStormcrow 8 месяцев назад +13

      I'd argue D because their respawn rates are still a problem.

  • @ComboSmooth
    @ComboSmooth 8 месяцев назад +55

    I was also thinking C tier. D-tier feels a little low for a build that has next to no enemies that can damage it. Especially considering how the enemies that can damage it, are like the 2-3 highest tier opponents in the continent and possibly the world (elephants, humans, hippos).

    • @egbertmilton4003
      @egbertmilton4003 8 месяцев назад +6

      Too bad they keep team killing one another due to how stupid they are, especially considering their respawn times and the fights they just choose to lose because they can’t comprehend that they are strong enough to defeat most of this enemies. Absolutely deserves D tier, garbage build for idiots, but is a cute animal in domestic setting surprisingly.

    • @checker297
      @checker297 8 месяцев назад

      imo it should be even lower, the fact it has extremely low intelligence means it will always be competing for food and its young are extremely vulnerable even if its extremely hard to kill an adult. It also means it cant effectively group up as a team. This isnt helped by the fact it reproduces slowly. It seems like a build which is optimised around either making it to be either an alpha male or bust, or female and accept massive childbirth risk for life. Just is not ever going to be viable, similar to how pandas are dying out because they just dont wanna bang.

    • @breloommaster12
      @breloommaster12 8 месяцев назад +19

      The rhino's bad eyesight and low intelligence often offsets the advantages that its tanky build would have otherwise brought:
      - You're so bulky that you should be able to win fights and control territory right? Well too bad, you're so blind that you fail to recognize your surroundings to the point where you attack trees and rocks, or you lose resolve too easily in otherwise favourable interactions and get chased off.
      - You're so tanky that you should have little trouble with escort missions right? Nope, your poor eyesight and intelligence means you cannot party up with other players to ease your burden, it means you cannot effectively control a defensive zone around yourself, and worst of all, it means you are so easily baited away from the escort or even get baited into teamkilling it yourself.

      You're really only judging combat when you're using OoC hacks. Try a run-through without a second screen, and without using your previous run-through experience, and rhinos will not give you a fun game even half the time. Between grazing, constantly managing your sensory debuffs and chat aggroing you, and dealing with everything including humans? Rhinos aren't even mid tier, and that's without including the lack of a rear attack option.

      Kinda wish this one was better researched though. The argument on bulk makes no sense, for instance. The bulk of modern rhino's still keeps them save from predators, so its still useful. Not to mention the short-faced bear and woolly rhino didn't even overlap. Plus, he mentioned the whole thing about eyesight. But rhino's having bad eyes was already debunked in 2008.

But the bulk isn't really that useful because of their already tough and thick skin. It still isn't as useless as he made it seem but you get the idea. The short faced bear and Woolley rhino indeed never crossed paths with each other you are 100% correct on that one.

While they can certainly serve as a lookout, I've heard claims that oxpecker players tend to prioritize eating engorged ticks (i.e. ticks that have already done as much damage as possible to their hosts) in order to maximize the experience they gain from each tick they eat. I've even heard some claims that oxpecker players will peck at open wounds on their "perches," slowing the rate at which they recover from said wounds.

While not enough to set off bad eyesight and low intelligence I do believe it mitigates that disadvantage somewhat. This along with the fact that there only bad matchup is with the largest land animal in the game and humans makes me believe rhinos at least deserve high C tier.

    This channel is the best example of something being fun and educational. Lots of people have tried making education fun, but it always feels a little forced, or they sacrifice details in the name of fun.
    This channel is so fun and so educational I don’t even realize I’m learning. I look forward to every upload on this channel, it’s great.
