The most overrated champ is RSL is…

Hey Guys! After talking about some hidden gems, I now would like to open a thread for a probably more controversial debate - what champion do you consider to be overrated? Any widely celebrated fighter that you used while thinking "What's all the hype about?"?

Arbiter. You can all get mad at me, someone who does not have her yet, BUT... After reading her kit, i dont see her being useful anywhere other than arena and fw. But thats my opinion.

I might get some backlash, but to me Ninja is overrated. Now, he is absolutely not a bad champ. He is doing fine in many areas, but I do not understand the hype. Some people treat him as a god and say the game is virtually unplayable for those that have missed him, but I feel that is exaggerated. His A3 is admittedly great for Clan Boss, but the other two abilities kinda have little effect there, and an AoE freeze is good for Arena, but other champs can do similar things while having better survivability. Is Ninja good? Yes. Is he a god? To me, No.

Maybe cheating here but pretty much every non Armiger uncommon is overrated and their popularity stems from content creators with end game gear featuring them. Shieldguard, Saurus, Outrider and others are generally speaking just not going to be worth the investment relative to well, every other possible option you have.

Personally I think it would be Mountain King. Dude shows up on quite a few arena teams, but every time I see him I just immediately think "this will be an easy win". He's just so one-dimensional.

Spicy take.

I can see why players who missed him might be disappointed, because I really think he is that good. I do think his best usage is in PvE content, but he's near elite there for most players. Doom Tower (especially on a few bosses), lower level Hydra, UNM CB, can even shine quite nicely in Dragon. That kit just excels in anything with an extended fight, such as CB.

90% of the rares, 60% of the epics and 30% of the legendaries are all overrated LOL

tossup between kael and warmaiden. people seem to confuse convenience with greatness when it comes to those two.

Convenience versus greatness. Well said. Both of these would be my choices too, there seems to be this ABSOLUTE RULE that is now prevalent here and on discord that if you didn't pick Kael you should just quit your account and start over. Athel brings a lot of good utility too, is excellent in FK, makes a good 12-3 farmer, and even Elhain is a solid all around champ that nukes hard and slaps 12-3 around.

kael and warmaiden do their job, but you quite quickly reach a point where they are never seen outside of faction wars.

For me the most over rated is armiger. He is good for an uncommon obviously but everyone acts as if he is the greatest champ ever.

I love Armiger. He absolutely kicked butt for me until I finally pulled Alure pretty recently.

I can see how for an account with Alure and/or a couple Coldhearts someone would never ever need him.

Arbiter was the one to get when the game started and in it's infancy, however there has since been such an influx of over powered champs she has been left far behind and probably wouldn't appear in most 'wish lists'

I vote Trunda.   As the most wanted attack champion, which as a category I would say would include most of the overrated champions.

Everyone crying that the guaranteed sacred event wasn't Trunda (sidenote, anyone else grab Nekmo?)... if you are the 4th most important/relevant member of a 4 person team in the only content you shine in... just saying...

I would have gone with Trunda, except she's just bonkers good for Hydra.

I grabbed Nekkers btw. He's really, really good. Not quite Kimi, but pretty damn close - and in some ways better, due to the ATK down. I just wish the SPD up on his A3 was three turns on himself, since now it only actually lasts one turn instead of two.

Good above easy hydra?  The first two levels are trivial, would think trunda isn't much use on brutal or NM?  I could be wrong, i only have trunda on my alt account so don't have much practice with her lol.

Trunda? hmmmm... she's a Dwarf. Just for that, i give her a solid +2 LOL. I'll take that overrated champ anytime! :P

Here's my actual vote: Incubus! He's the most trained champion in the game, and NOBODY uses him! How's that for overrated? LMAO

Hegemon. Even before Stoneskin was introduced, there were a myriad of counters, but esp. nowadays. He is scary early and mid-game, but as soon as you get a little bit of half-decent Immunity gear on your cleanser, he's no longer a threat. One trick pony.
