LOL few hours after my post above:
StewGaming video on taking out Rotos and Void Baron (who I think is stronger than Rotos) with....
Free 2 play rare and fusion Skull-shitty-face
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N53hWV64zgA
It's such a joke, because he was just doing 8k hits on Rotos, but force > magic -- and that's all you need. Like I been saying, Rotos is magic and doesn't do anything on force champions (Rotos does 2k hits)
Surely this ends the debate. lol
You did see in the video you linked that in the 2nd battle a poorly geared Rotos started popping off and Stew just skipped the battle, right? If you watch Stew regularly, you'll have heard him complain about the imbalance of Rotos and Tormin. TBH, Tormin is manageable. But Rotos can't be allowe to have 1 turn, or it's game over a lot of the time. I should not have to build my entire team around handling one champion.
I normally compete in high gold 4, low plat. Rotos usually has a good team around him to protect hiim. That's really their main function. To protect Rotos so he can annihilate your team. Let's see what the top 10 arena team defenses are right now as I post?:
Rotos, Arbiter, Hegemon, Siphi
Rotos, Arbiter, Krisk, Rae
Rotos, Raglin, Mountain King, Siphi
Rotos, Abiter ?? I forget names
Rotos, Siphi, Dutchess, Krisk
Arbiter, Hegemon, Foli, Foli
Rotos, Arbiter, Valkierie, Siphi
Rotos, Arbiter, Hegemon, Trunda
Rotos, Dutchess, Siphi, Krisk
Rotos, Arbiter, Hegemon, Siphi
This is not a mistake. It's because he's overpowered and to be on top, you need every edge you can get. Most of those teams have a speed lead (Arbiter is the best, but not OP), a disruptor or defense break, and a buffer. Any other good damage dealer could slot in instead of Rotos...but they haven't been. Why? It's not because he's a new fusion flavor of the month, because I don't see Cillian anywhere in the top 100. However, Rotos is on almost every one of those teams (I didn't count, but it looks like 85% or so?).
He needs a nerf. Plain and simple. It's unhealthy for the game for the top arena teams to all look so similar. It's worse for almost all of them to have to rely on one champion.
