Allways love your videos Ash ❤ been playing for 9 months now and they help me out so much with my progress in the game . One thing I don't understand is why FTP players envy spenders, if I'm correct, without spenders games like this wouldn't last so long ..keep up the good work and keep spending so I can keep playing 🤟
Ash, I have a possibly surprise team you might like to make a video on. I did Dark Fae for the first time using a team of 6 stars with masteries. Deacon Armstrong, Kael, Spirithost, Diabolist, Warmaiden. It took a while to get that a set of middling champions that had great synergy were one strategy available to everyone. I was careful in the 2nd wave to ensure finishing off with A1s to ensure the necessary abilities were ready to take out the mirror team with the usual Diabolist positive charge --> Spirithost strengthen --> Warmaiden crumbling blast --> Keal acid rain. Kael was then nicked of course, but that was OK as the others together can take out any single champion in the team.
Thank you for the video, Ash! I could not agree with you more with regards to this because if i had followed the ratings instead of looking at each individual non-S / SSS tier champion, i would not have levelled and developed Lonathariel over a year ago. He has been a staple in Arena and various other places. My own personal advice for fellow players is to look at each Champions abilities and see if they fit their needs. Right now, i am looking to build and develop Queen Eva, despite her ratings, because i need a Block Revival Champion for Ice Golem Hard.
@TenmasSchoolOfThought I will, if you're new you shouldn't use higher rarity champs as food until you do a little more homework than just one person's opinion an new or old regardless of how many ppl say this or that is bad if you proceed to use the champ as food that's still on you nobody forced your hand
The same can be said for champions that are rated way too high, because they were great when they first came out and have since been power crept over the last 5 years. The ratings system is just so outdated...
Yes....the number of players in these online games that install the game and go directly online to follow some guide before trying to even figure things out for themselves, or pull a cool looking champion and then vault them because the in game ratings were crap, or people on Discord were mocking anything that isn't elite tier so they shelf that champ without even ever trying it. It really makes me sad that a large chunk of the players can't even think for themselves. Some of the most fun I've had in this game, has been 6star'ring champs you normally wouldn't. Ripper, Gladiator, Tolf the Maimed... You would be shocked at how often I use some of these champs to fill in for the Cursed City, or in specific areas around the game. Ripper absolutely Demolishes Scarab in a Destroy set, with a high level Phantom Touch blessing. Get creative. Don't rely on other people to tell you what's good or bad. It's a game. Find out for yourself. Otherwise, why are 'you' playing it?
On Warchief...yes he is great for Magma Dragon, but I also find him very useful in Doom Tower whenever you have to deal with Mortu Macaab, even with the negative affinity match-up.
4 months into the game (almost 5 years ago), I started not to look at those in-game ratings. I just don't trust them. I realized it the moment that some are just blessed to get awesome champs, but do not know how to build or make use of them. Thus, give them overall poor ratings because they don't know how to utilize the champ, or the champ does not simply sit well with their kind of play style. Thus, I've long did away with the in-game ratings, and recently, I don't even bother to look at the ratings or tier lists at all. I read the kit; I gear up the champ accordingly and see if they rip or if they get vaulted.
As someone who mostly gets rares with my shards, even mythicals, I'd throw those champs in the vault until I get the resources to max them out for whatever they would be great in, speaking of that I'm going to dust off Warchief, he might just get me passed that NM clan boss, and I agree that dude Holstring not only looks amazing, but would be a great addition to my group whenever I pull him, thanks again for the awesome video and info Ash.
Again, nice video. It is always a little highlight to watch your videos - your cheerfulness brightens me up every time. Thank you for that and for being a constant (and that goes for Raid as well as WoR). The following does not directly apply to you, but should be mentioned to make players aware. There is something you need to be aware of when talking about this topic; that is, sides such as HH or AyumiLove are not good sources and are rather misleading. As an example (without further details, as they can be looked up by everyone), look at the ratings of Tallia. Comparing the just-mentioned sites to in-game reviews, she is much better than HH or Ayumi give her credit for, and that is reflected in the game reviews. Similarly with Noct - he is a 5* champion (the strongest carry from early to the end; he will solo everywhere where poison can be applied, apart from Spider and Fire Knight), yet he only gets 4* or A-tier ratings on those "tier lists". The content creators are mostly biased and don't give those champions a proper, objective chance (almost like "I already have someone who can do this..."). That is not the point and should not be a factor unless the alternative is a free champion everyone can get (not like Ramantu or other Lydia). It takes a lot of luck and dedication to get those two, as Faction Wars are hard and the Ramantu Missions become close to impossible for most players as soon as 3v3 Arena missions come into play (cf. reaching Gold II). PS: A little side note on Watcher of Realms, Nyx is S-Tier and I do not understand why she is being underrated by so many content creators (even you put her as B-tier). I got her alongside Salazar on day 1 of playing WoR, and thanks to those two (mainly Nyx), I was able to get Volka in 19 days without any issues or difficulties, and I do not even have her awakened. Again, I am just defending my favorites and most-used Champions/Heroes in the games and want to make people aware of the bias that content creators seem to have towards a lot of those Champions/Heroes. I do not want to come off as rude; therefore, I am apologizing if this comment comes off as too direct - that would not have been my intention."
I actually use my Holsring as my hexer on my third Hydra Team along with Duchess for more veil. I even had a surprise in my Raid video saying that my Holsring had the highest resist of any Holsring in Raid. He's a little over 480 Resist at the moment, not counting Area Bonuses.
I will quickly say, from what I can tell about guides, content creator guides can be not very useful, for example talking about best rares to 60, currently as a mid game player, I use 2 rares, Fellhound, and Heiress, and less than 10 epics (Fahrakin, Madame Serris, Uugo, Demytha, Deacon, Seeker, Shamael, Criodan and thats basically it), champions can be good without actually having a place on your account as a 60, its all context dependent, so theres not much value in taking CC guides at face value either, for example, a CC might say that queen eva is good, but most of them would never build one if it werent for content
I am an early game player and I pulled Fatalis Blademaster from a shard. His reviews are terrible, but he is helping me out everywhere in the game. 3* every nightmare level except the final boss when teamed up with Wu Kong.
I’ve not actually used Endalia for anything other than the Mikage fusion, but she was always alive with plenty of health left, after each Brutal 12,3 run when she was being levelled. So I suspect she might be more useful than her in-game rating suggests.
I got 2 vergunkars but i have to optimal use for them. do you have a guide by any chance on the other channel already? because im ftp so im not going to bring them to 60 if i have no use for them.
Thanks for the video, Ash! As a person who trusted the in-game ratings when I started playing and fed Baron, Roanas, Bloodgorged and Norog as chickens, I know the pain of trusting those 😂
Hi Ash. I have a game suggestion for ya. It's called Doomsday Last Survivor. Right now they're doing a collaboration with King of Fighter to unlock Mia.
Claidna... I decided to book her for some reason due to she was my only block buff champion and i also liked her... Then I wasn't very happy with her basically because she has a very good set of skills that can't be used anywhere, its like she doesn't fit in any area of the game... She is supposed to be a Sand devil specialist but she is not really the best option... So she went to the vault fully booked and with all of her masteries until I found a place for her in the Ice golem (2.5 on ratings)... I just needed someone to deal with the waives and for the ice golem Claidna and Corvis where able to finish the job (25 normal, don't know in hard). I know there are many other better and cheaper options but when you already invested on a leggo, you really want to find a spot for that champion.
Teela Goremane is another one. Pulled her recently and she has been an absolute powerhouse of a champion, despite her reviews still kinda reflecting her old kit.
I Have Holsring and he was a game changer for me, he even helped me pass throught Dark Fae, and I also use him sometimes in Arena, he deals a good amount of Damage, but in combination with Mithralla and our favorite Mokey, he does brings a lot to the table. I know there is champions way better than him out there, but he is one of those I have, so I need to use what I have to move forward.
Pulled a 6* Gnarlhorn soul, his skills looked pretty meh, checked the ratings and saw Shogun, looked up the guides with him as the Enfeeble tank from a few months ago and now will have an easy way to clear Shogun :) I had completely forgot that I could use him for that so thank you ratings.
If only Raid could make ratings dynamic and usable. Like Amazon product reviews for example.. But Raid does not care, it is not feature that brings in more people.
Warchief was my first leggo I pulled. Way before the tower or city but he just tanks his way through so much. Did some heavy haulage early on in my account
To me, Jingwon is very underrated. I put him in Savage/Perception and now I have an HP based nuker/debuffer hybrid who literally can't be cc'd under any circumstances. (Well, Ronda can lock his passive out, but all he has to do is A1 and he full cleanse).
A lot of it is just the cost to invest in a champion vs the value you get out of them. I built war cheif for hydra but he doesn't really do anything else. I still use him sometimes when the affinity is good but I'm lacking so much elsewhere when I do use him where as Bivald for instance gives me so much more. Then there's other ones who I have built just because a champ training and I have never even used because I already have teams for things and they don't really have a place or just get powercrept or countered by a new META.
I actually never look at the in-game ratings since over a year. HH or RUclips (your second channel) is where I go to to find out where the champs shine
I never complain about getting a legendary that is not a dupe - i always experiment with them and find utility from legendary champs - build em and have fun and create the value - when the game is lame and you get a lego it is a blessing to enjoy a fresh champion - ofcourse I use your site and hell hates for some great content.
Colredplays is doing a March Madness bracket of Epics and he used the ratings as a baseline of seeds there would be some really weird matchups if he didnt adjust them a bit.
Nogdar the Headhunter is another great example of a champ with bad ratings but is actually super good. He's One of the best arena champs and can be utilized successfully in doomtower and cursed city. Nogdar is definitely one my best weapons.
You forget how highly rated regular death knight, bully, and warboy are despite REALLY NOT DESERVING IT. It's a meme, but it confused me in my early days of Raid
Honestly, I find that if you're sub level 30/40 in the game, all epics are decent to pretty good at least. And all legendaries are useable, solely because they max out at 4*/40 and 5*/50 respectively and you have so little resources that just having that 4 or 5* champ is useful... That being said, Yaga is still useless and should be used as a chicken. The real disparity in ratings, I think is when it comes to rares. Most of them are bad but some of them can be incredibly useful in a clinch or if you happen to get them at, like, 6 red stars. (Ok 5 red stars is actually better because you can then feed them if you hate them.) Eviscerator, for example, I have at 5 red stars, and she was really good for faction wars. I've given her quite a bit of attack now and will bring her to stages where enemies are getting buffs often. You'd be surprised, she can actually put in a day's work!!
I would add another category called the “troll reviews.” These include things like Deathknight (not udk) getting a 4.7 average for most things. It’s just people trolling and could confuse new people to the game thinking he’s good.
First thing I do when I pull a champion? Check the in game reviews of course but then I check Ash raid shadow legends on RUclips to see what they’re really about 😊.
I just pulled vergumkar or however u spell it's name. At first I was disappointed. However I am stuck on Doomtower whenever I have to fight the scarab king. Seems like he is made for this job. So I guess I have to build this man and see what it can do
What they should do when they rebalance champs if reset the ratings and also make an “!” Exclamation mark or something on them so people see they can re-rate them.
3.5yrs in... Vlad is my most used according to my Recap vid. Hydra, Doom Tower, Tag, Sintranos. He's equal to Lydia for debuffing...if not better (do love a block revive tho')
I agree, that rebalanced champions should have their ratings reset. But except them, most ratings are pretty much accurate. However I think, that this rating system should be rebuild somehow, to be more relevant.
I was tricked a bit by Armina's ratings... and when I was pretty new to the game. also at her relea, the content creators thought she'd a good control champ. I nvr got her to work out fully, so I regret making her a 6 star, at such early stage of my Raid-gaming. =)
Idc what any rating says, Fatalis is quite strong. Specifically in PvP. He's not always pick all the time, but I've won a lot of matches off the back of him.
Could you put a Spotlight on my man Goffred (Dwarf leggo). I use him everywhere but, I don't see him in other player's teams. This dude has such an awesome kit.
No mention for Gurptuk Moss-beard?! Personally, I haven't looked into these whole reworks buffing (and nerfing) champions and all that; I just pulled this guy on the recent double-leggo event and that guy has ALL KINDS of confusion. The CC's (yourself especially) alongside the Ayumilove and HellHades websites- you guys and those are the ones giving the highest regard. I mean- more regard than the ratings that is.
Review bombs in RSL? Who would've suspected. Heh, on point, though, some reviews are outdated. Nogdar had a buff, but his reviews still suck. I pulled him early on a f2p account and immediately vaulted him. Even after the rework he continued riding the pine. But then I needed someone for FW, and he's actually not terrible. He even was rockstar for a few hours when Sand Devil was bugged and affected by his equalize HP skill. Not sure the niche reviews are that wrong though. Maybe for some champs. Also think some champs suffer from a perception issue. If CC's mention a hero is bad, that might stick with some people and they'll just automatically give a hero a bad review. Or, you put some resources into a champ thinking they are going to be that missing piece for specific content, but they aren't, so you give them a worse review than you might've otherwise done.
i dont ever read those, i watch ur vids man.... anyways, are we getting a new faction?? u did see it right?? again thanks for everything...... and your editor!!
I don't even look at those ratings!!! Why would I when I have you and Hell Hades where I get a much better idea of how good or bad a champion is! FACTS.
Ive found that most reviews in game are far better than reality. Ash, ash, Ash....Supreme A'...did you look at how many reviews there are? She is a solid 3 at best, compared to Siphi,Krisk, Warlord, Acrizia, Taras, Marichka, etc etc etc. Those Void's are all 4.9-5.0 Taras and Marichka are really a solid 6.0 compared to every other champ. So, Supreme A, with only 300-400 reviews per area, compared to Krisk with over 5K per area. If Supreme A's reviews were incorrect, then a few thousand more reviews would tell us so. Where are the reviews? (cricket....cricket) She is trash (sub-3's) and so nobody is happy about getting her, when they really wanted an actual S tier void. Ash, like most YT'ers you dont have a very balanced perspective because you have too many S tier champs and are really just making content without regard for objectivity. Dracomorph is another perfect example. He is a sold 3 at best. Powercreep. Nobody really uses draco anymore - except for a novelty. Draco vs Acrizia...Draco vs Taras...Draco vs Turdvold...Draco vs nutcracker...Draco vs Venus....really? I'll admit, draco is a good argument for resetting reviews. He is no 4 - Draco is a 3.5 at best....Nobody would be happy with pulling Vergumn.....I've pulled 2 - and Contemplated using them as 5 star chickens. Worthless - 1.5 at best. Absolutely terrible as a provoke champ. Even Angar is better. Your entire premise is base on the idea of a new account pulling their first lego...bam you pulled the one of the worst champs in the game - vergum. You might as well, /delete and start over. You could have pulled any other champ. Ok, you pulled Warchief, he would help, but you'd still be salty over not getting Kymar....You'd still be frosty over not getting dutchess. You'd still be disappointed overnot pulling Gnut or Trunda. Pulling a solid 2 or 3, when the gulf between those champs and champs that actually change the value of an account, is utter disappointment,. Krakens do not understand this. So, ultimately, this game has Trumda's, Harima's, Hephraks and Dutchesses all solid 4's. And then void lego's like Taras/marichka, or Warlord, Siphi, Krisk, Yumeko, nutcracker, etc all solid 5's. You cannot balance an actual 5 against Vergum and rate the fat lizard any better than a 1.5 or 2. Otherwise, you are just an apologist for raid's monetization system.
I disagree with Vergumkar, as I said, I'm a mid game player, I have a vergumkar, I would not 60 them, they're not terrible but not great, although the reviews are bad, I find CCs to vary wildly with their takes on champions too, its about value over replacement, but also some champions can be ok, without actually being of any use, its all well and good for me to say, Djamarsa is really good, but with context, which is you probably have arbiter, shes really not useful at all, or drexthar is good, but where would you use a drexthar, or keeyra the watcher is really good, but for, what, agreed, ally protection is really useful for early game clan boss, but also, other than for clan boss, ally protection really isnt that good, Kyoku for example, not really that good, Visix, Ma'Shalled, Deliana, Cillian, they can be good, but it all depends on the account, in other words, why use a champion that is worse than what you already have
When I started playing this game, those ratings were way weird, and I became believe that russian players were giving misguiding ratings to troll other players.
New to the videos and new to raid. Pulled korugar death bell and Nobel day two. Korugar has good ratings and he's a beast and Nobel has bad ratings so I never used.
Dracomorph is rated as one of the best champs in Raid...I disagree as it's stats are not nor can be good enough to replace Sun Wukong,Artak,Ronda and Nogdar The Head Hunter shit I would prefer damn near any lego in place of Dracomorph.
Im.a.new player and I am.having trouble understanding what sets to put on each character 70k power strength incase that helps anyone understand what sets I have availible
With Curse City, I am basically holding onto all Epics, no matter what the rating is because you never know if they will be needed
Except Yaga!
Agreed. I’ll only feed epics that are dupes.

I know there is champions way better than him out there, but he is one of those I have, so I need to use what I have to move forward.
I just pulled a third Holsring. Please tell me how awesome that is! (What do I do?)
Vlad is arguably my favorite champion...love that champ: Wave clearing Doom Tower, Arena and Live Area....Everywhere!!!
I always forget reviews exist.
Thanks for tuning in ;)
Pulled a 6* Gnarlhorn soul, his skills looked pretty meh, checked the ratings and saw Shogun, looked up the guides with him as the Enfeeble tank from a few months ago and now will have an easy way to clear Shogun :) I had completely forgot that I could use him for that so thank you ratings.
Thanks for watching ;)
As a new FTP player (2 months in) the hardest part is to figure out what hero’s to get to six 6 star with what I have.
If only Raid could make ratings dynamic and usable. Like Amazon product reviews for example.. But Raid does not care, it is not feature that brings in more people.
Warchief was my first leggo I pulled. Way before the tower or city but he just tanks his way through so much. Did some heavy haulage early on in my account
Thanks for watching ;)
To me, Jingwon is very underrated. I put him in Savage/Perception and now I have an HP based nuker/debuffer hybrid who literally can't be cc'd under any circumstances. (Well, Ronda can lock his passive out, but all he has to do is A1 and he full cleanse).
Thanks for watching ;)
A lot of it is just the cost to invest in a champion vs the value you get out of them. I built war cheif for hydra but he doesn't really do anything else. I still use him sometimes when the affinity is good but I'm lacking so much elsewhere when I do use him where as Bivald for instance gives me so much more. Then there's other ones who I have built just because a champ training and I have never even used because I already have teams for things and they don't really have a place or just get powercrept or countered by a new META.
I actually never look at the in-game ratings since over a year. HH or RUclips (your second channel) is where I go to to find out where the champs shine
Thanks man! I appreciate it ;)
Thank you for keeping Lost and the Smoke Monster alive!!
I never complain about getting a legendary that is not a dupe - i always experiment with them and find utility from legendary champs - build em and have fun and create the value - when the game is lame and you get a lego it is a blessing to enjoy a fresh champion - ofcourse I use your site and hell hates for some great content.
Thanks for tuning in ;)
Holsring is OK but I don't use him because I have champs that work better
Thanks for tuning in ;)
Colredplays is doing a March Madness bracket of Epics and he used the ratings as a baseline of seeds there would be some really weird matchups if he didnt adjust them a bit.
Nogdar the Headhunter is another great example of a champ with bad ratings but is actually super good. He's One of the best arena champs and can be utilized successfully in doomtower and cursed city. Nogdar is definitely one my best weapons.
Thanks for watching ;)
The edit at 3:02 had me in tears. Poor starlord!!
😆
You forget how highly rated regular death knight, bully, and warboy are despite REALLY NOT DESERVING IT. It's a meme, but it confused me in my early days of Raid
Honestly, I find that if you're sub level 30/40 in the game, all epics are decent to pretty good at least. And all legendaries are useable, solely because they max out at 4*/40 and 5*/50 respectively and you have so little resources that just having that 4 or 5* champ is useful...
That being said, Yaga is still useless and should be used as a chicken.
The real disparity in ratings, I think is when it comes to rares. Most of them are bad but some of them can be incredibly useful in a clinch or if you happen to get them at, like, 6 red stars. (Ok 5 red stars is actually better because you can then feed them if you hate them.)
Eviscerator, for example, I have at 5 red stars, and she was really good for faction wars. I've given her quite a bit of attack now and will bring her to stages where enemies are getting buffs often. You'd be surprised, she can actually put in a day's work!!
I would add another category called the “troll reviews.” These include things like Deathknight (not udk) getting a 4.7 average for most things. It’s just people trolling and could confuse new people to the game thinking he’s good.
Thanks for watching ;)
First thing I do when I pull a champion? Check the in game reviews of course but then I check Ash raid shadow legends on RUclips to see what they’re really about 😊.
As bad rated champion, Nogdar was by far my favorite. Got an incredibly huge win rate with him in tag arena gold iv
Warchief was disappointing at first and i waited a while to 6s him...but he is ALWAYS on my magma dragon team all the way up to the highest difficulty
I just pulled vergumkar or however u spell it's name. At first I was disappointed. However I am stuck on Doomtower whenever I have to fight the scarab king. Seems like he is made for this job. So I guess I have to build this man and see what it can do
Good luck ;)
The editor missed a great opportunity to insert beavis and burthead laughing at @1:05
What they should do when they rebalance champs if reset the ratings and also make an “!” Exclamation mark or something on them so people see they can re-rate them.
Thanks for watching ;)
3.5yrs in... Vlad is my most used according to my Recap vid.
Hydra, Doom Tower, Tag, Sintranos. He's equal to Lydia for debuffing...if not better (do love a block revive tho')
Thanks for watching ;)
I have Holsring on mini account and hadnt even considered him for Clan Boss, thanks Ash!
Thanks for tuning in ;)
i have never looked at the in game ratings i always use HH XD
Thanks for tuning in ;)
HH ratings aren't perfect either though tbh. He underrates some really good champs like Arix.
Gosh i knew looking at certain ratings on characters didnt seem right. Thats why i try and keep up with some of yours and HH channel💪🏽🎯💯
Thanks for watching ;)
I agree, that rebalanced champions should have their ratings reset. But except them, most ratings are pretty much accurate.
However I think, that this rating system should be rebuild somehow, to be more relevant.
Thanks for tuning in ;)
I was tricked a bit by Armina's ratings... and when I was pretty new to the game. also at her relea, the content creators thought she'd a good control champ. I nvr got her to work out fully, so I regret making her a 6 star, at such early stage of my Raid-gaming. =)
Vergumkar is savage ! I agree with you Ash ,very solid champ
Why does ash never get old to watch. From clash royal to raid. Dude it the best mobile game RUclipsr. Just enjoyable to watch.
Thanks so much man! I appreciate it ;)
@@ASH-RAID love ya ash.
I think Hades was using Holstring for fireknight at one point.
Idc what any rating says, Fatalis is quite strong. Specifically in PvP. He's not always pick all the time, but I've won a lot of matches off the back of him.
Vergumkar is definitely an end game champ
Could you put a Spotlight on my man Goffred (Dwarf leggo). I use him everywhere but, I don't see him in other player's teams. This dude has such an awesome kit.
I made a guide on him: ruclips.net/video/PawATKqwRHU/видео.html
Thanks for watching ;)
I think Plarium should reset champion ratings on reworked champions when they change them
No mention for Gurptuk Moss-beard?!
Personally, I haven't looked into these whole reworks buffing (and nerfing) champions and all that; I just pulled this guy on the recent double-leggo event and that guy has ALL KINDS of confusion. The CC's (yourself especially) alongside the Ayumilove and HellHades websites- you guys and those are the ones giving the highest regard. I mean- more regard than the ratings that is.
Review bombs in RSL? Who would've suspected. Heh, on point, though, some reviews are outdated.
Nogdar had a buff, but his reviews still suck. I pulled him early on a f2p account and immediately vaulted him. Even after the rework he continued riding the pine. But then I needed someone for FW, and he's actually not terrible. He even was rockstar for a few hours when Sand Devil was bugged and affected by his equalize HP skill.
Not sure the niche reviews are that wrong though. Maybe for some champs.
Also think some champs suffer from a perception issue. If CC's mention a hero is bad, that might stick with some people and they'll just automatically give a hero a bad review. Or, you put some resources into a champ thinking they are going to be that missing piece for specific content, but they aren't, so you give them a worse review than you might've otherwise done.
Togron the Conjoined is a beast yet has poor reviews.
Thanks for watching ;)
i dont ever read those, i watch ur vids man.... anyways, are we getting a new faction?? u did see it right?? again thanks for everything...... and your editor!!
Ash I just pulled Knight Queen Krixia. I went crazy. My account just completely CHANGED.
Congrats!
Would love a Firrol or a Togron guide
I have spent 9K on my account and not a single meta champ or 6* soul! good job i enjoy the game for now.
Epics are often rated extremely good,while they are average
I got Vergumkaar and your video said he sucked. So I never built him 💀😂
Yup he's not lying sadly....cost me a few good champs I've yet to get back
I don't even look at those ratings!!! Why would I when I have you and Hell Hades where I get a much better idea of how good or bad a champion is! FACTS.
Thanks man! I appreciate it ;)
Ive found that most reviews in game are far better than reality. Ash, ash, Ash....Supreme A'...did you look at how many reviews there are? She is a solid 3 at best, compared to Siphi,Krisk, Warlord, Acrizia, Taras, Marichka, etc etc etc. Those Void's are all 4.9-5.0 Taras and Marichka are really a solid 6.0 compared to every other champ. So, Supreme A, with only 300-400 reviews per area, compared to Krisk with over 5K per area. If Supreme A's reviews were incorrect, then a few thousand more reviews would tell us so. Where are the reviews? (cricket....cricket) She is trash (sub-3's) and so nobody is happy about getting her, when they really wanted an actual S tier void. Ash, like most YT'ers you dont have a very balanced perspective because you have too many S tier champs and are really just making content without regard for objectivity. Dracomorph is another perfect example. He is a sold 3 at best. Powercreep. Nobody really uses draco anymore - except for a novelty. Draco vs Acrizia...Draco vs Taras...Draco vs Turdvold...Draco vs nutcracker...Draco vs Venus....really? I'll admit, draco is a good argument for resetting reviews. He is no 4 - Draco is a 3.5 at best....Nobody would be happy with pulling Vergumn.....I've pulled 2 - and Contemplated using them as 5 star chickens. Worthless - 1.5 at best. Absolutely terrible as a provoke champ. Even Angar is better. Your entire premise is base on the idea of a new account pulling their first lego...bam you pulled the one of the worst champs in the game - vergum. You might as well, /delete and start over. You could have pulled any other champ. Ok, you pulled Warchief, he would help, but you'd still be salty over not getting Kymar....You'd still be frosty over not getting dutchess. You'd still be disappointed overnot pulling Gnut or Trunda. Pulling a solid 2 or 3, when the gulf between those champs and champs that actually change the value of an account, is utter disappointment,. Krakens do not understand this. So, ultimately, this game has Trumda's, Harima's, Hephraks and Dutchesses all solid 4's. And then void lego's like Taras/marichka, or Warlord, Siphi, Krisk, Yumeko, nutcracker, etc all solid 5's. You cannot balance an actual 5 against Vergum and rate the fat lizard any better than a 1.5 or 2. Otherwise, you are just an apologist for raid's monetization system.
About time for an upload, haha love the content!
Thanks man! Means a lot ;)
I disagree with Vergumkar, as I said, I'm a mid game player, I have a vergumkar, I would not 60 them, they're not terrible but not great, although the reviews are bad, I find CCs to vary wildly with their takes on champions too, its about value over replacement, but also some champions can be ok, without actually being of any use, its all well and good for me to say, Djamarsa is really good, but with context, which is you probably have arbiter, shes really not useful at all, or drexthar is good, but where would you use a drexthar, or keeyra the watcher is really good, but for, what, agreed, ally protection is really useful for early game clan boss, but also, other than for clan boss, ally protection really isnt that good, Kyoku for example, not really that good, Visix, Ma'Shalled, Deliana, Cillian, they can be good, but it all depends on the account, in other words, why use a champion that is worse than what you already have
Vergumkaar was my first leggo and was absolutely a hard carry for along time. Still use him lol
Thanks for tuning in ;)
When I started playing this game, those ratings were way weird, and I became believe that russian players were giving misguiding ratings to troll other players.
Here comes the thunder, here comes the rain... damn, i miss that intro
Do you have Ramantu yet?
he doesnt play the game , so no he doesnt have it ,
Didn’t they use to reset the ratings after a balance?
I never look at reviews. Especially after i saw numbers for Fortus. He IS good!!!
New to the videos and new to raid. Pulled korugar death bell and Nobel day two. Korugar has good ratings and he's a beast and Nobel has bad ratings so I never used.
The only thing holding Holsring back is the rng factor of the random hits imo. Still i use him too
Thanks for tuning in ;)
Padraig is amazing in arena. Hope you pull him!!!! Running him in reflex and refresh
Thanks for tuning in ;)
After his buff, Seigfrund has seen his spotlight once again. And for good reason.
Thanks for watching :)
Dracomorph is rated as one of the best champs in Raid...I disagree as it's stats are not nor can be good enough to replace Sun Wukong,Artak,Ronda and Nogdar The Head Hunter shit I would prefer damn near any lego in place of Dracomorph.
Im.a.new player and I am.having trouble understanding what sets to put on each character 70k power strength incase that helps anyone understand what sets I have availible
unless recently buffed most ratings are spot on.
I beg to differ about Yaga hes not OP but hes solid
Solid at what?
@jamesgish9202 hes a good poisioner who smacks fairly hard
lol
