You guys heard it here, this champion is bad. Chainler says so, so it must be true. Disregard this showcase that shows where The Leader shines and how his utility counters meta relevant threats.
I like having most of his utility available without needing a ranked up high sig 7 star. The Special 3 gets around the low basic damage in matchups without big power gain or regen similarly to how Immortal Abomination's Special 3 gets around poison immune matchups.
To me he is a 10 out of 10 I think the community needs to understand that not evert champ is gonna be hercules or CGR or corvus or even Kate bishop where they just destroy opponents in seconds the game also needs utility Champs with moderate damage and I think cucumber looking megamind here is just fine as is and has alot in his kit that will age well in this game so no hate from me here I like him but I liked patriot a bit better lol just bc ....he murders photon and we all love/hate her 😂
@@TripleHMCOC he doesn't need to be q herc or a Cgr, but he also doesn't need to be a complete noodle outside of his niche matchups. I have a 7* leader and his damage is actually pathetic. Not only is it very far below average, to get the most of him you must play in such a particular way it's incredibly tedious. And once that plan goes to sh1t, he's practically a 4* champion. Absolutely needs a tune up for his regular damage outside of his matchups. There are others who do the same thing as him and hit harder, plus he's not really a good defender or attacker. Why play him over the other options? You literally just called him a 10 out of 10 lol, but why?
@MessageInBlood667 he has tons of utility not to mention his ability to manipulate th A.i is awesome now sure he might not be a 10 in your eyes and that's OK you not gonna like every character that comes out that's just preference. for example I hate quicksilver I hate his animations and to me he's rotation takes too long for a speedster but . .... there's ppl on the community who loves him and plays him everyday bottom line is some characters are gonna be your cup of tea and some wont and just bc the champ isn't for you it doesn't mean that the champ sucks it just means you personally don't value him as much and that's OK 😃🤙.
@MessageInBlood667 hahaha well can go either way man I like him and I grade him a 10/10 you in the other hand rank him at prob 0 out of 10 that's just different opinions 😉.
@@TripleHMCOC I like him too, but calling him a 10 out of 10 is pretty wild bro. For that to actually be true, he'd have to have literally everything, but in reality he has just a few uses. Not really opinions, it's just objectively facts. 🤷
His kit is great, I’d love to see a basic matchup damage buff on his degens for the special 3 loop but he will always have a place in a roster with his utility.
Awesome video. What a great design. Seems both beginning accounts and end game accounts will find him useful. I admit I’m frustrated that I have an sig 40 Sable. Who wouldn’t be? I’m sure Simula is as well. Why? No use for her. No reason to rank, play, use. Sorry to be blah blah negative. And yes it’s what balance before. (But hey guys more testing and tweaking before release if you can). Any event. Seems exact opposite here. A champ designed to be very effective in really significant ways. Even if not useful in BG, still want to pull. I did a black iso, got the 1 notification. Knew it was him, but 5 star sadly.
I would because I am crazy. But also, I probably still would if I wasn't crazy. It just changes the way you play him slightly - instead of a lot of light intercepts, do LLL, dash-back and parry, LLL, dash-back and parry (repeat). You also cannot block unblockables while unduped too, so be weary of that. If I had Leader, mine would be R3 regardless of sig because I love the champ's design, I also love Gamma/Hulk based champs too. Let me know what you end up doing!
Kind of disappointed with my 7* tbh. Hits like a 4*, has use only in very specific matchups and needs very specific gameplay, and his passive furies do practically nothing even if you have 30 of them. Also doesn't really seem like a good defender either, and certainly isn't a good attacker unless constant heal reversal melting is an option. Should he not be a little more balanced than this? I have many 4*s that hit harder than him. I don't like the idea of champions only being good for a specific thing. Needs balance, because there are others that do these things, and I don't see any reason to invest high end resources into this character in his current state.
Yes he can… “The Serpent was sealed away once. He does not intend to be sealed away twice. His primordial, non-magnetic armor grants Immunity to Power Lock, Special Lock, Heal Block, and Fate Seal effects, and prevents his Ability Power Rate from being reduced below 50% by non-Mystic Champions.”
Now let's see how good he does in matches where the opponent has no healing /power gain effects to reverse..showcasing leader against power gain/healing effects champs is like using Abs man against armour break
@@himanshuborah117 he won’t do that great, because he’s a champ designed to take these matches with power gain and healing. That doesn’t mean he’s bad, he’s a specialized champ.
That's the massive problem with this character imo. He is designed only for a few specific matchups or nodes. I also don't see why I would play him in those situations when I have characters that do the same thing and can hit harder and without the tedious effort of having to play around one area of the stage.
@@BMcG Just got him as a 7* and I'm not saying he's bad, but I am not loving him either, not expecting every champ to be a powerhouse, but gotta admit his damage could be bumped even just a tad, especially for battles where healing or power are not involved, otherwise it could be a long fight and getting SP3s for some bigger damage. That's why I say he is niche, because he can do what Void does, yes, faster, but only if the aforementioned are involved otherwise his debuffs do nothing, while Void's debuffs will, slower, but consistently do damage too. And "complicated" because you have to keep them in the green door if you want to maximize the benefits while also having the risk of getting clipped on an intercept. But I guess you can play with parry too, since he is chunky. I wish at least there was a pre-fight option where you could choose to reduce the potency of his debuffs in trade for more damage, again, for fights where neither healing or power are involved.
He's not good get it in ur head stop tryna make it seem like he's good his dmg is horrible one of the worst I've seen this year

@@BMcG if u say so
@@BMcG There's no way people are calling him mid after 1 day😭
@@Chainler think of the champs people thought sucked at first but later realized were really good after using them for a bit
@@ldbrock NGL u might be right like for example ghost.... Lol
Count nefaria:hold my cup
i think he looks sick. my favorite type of champ!

I opened 10 crystals and got the 7*. I R2 already. Getting ready for bgs.
I’m very jealous

I cannot light intercept..can he power control with medium intercept too?
Great showcase!
I’m maxed him out because of his unique matchups
He’s a champ I’d love to pull from the titan
Just got and duped the 7* on a 5 pop. Really hoping to get his style down
@@ea2one953 I’m very jealous
What do you think would be the best stat focus? What relic?
Any stat focus is good tbh.
I like the Cap Relic on him to make him tankier, but the Spidey 99 relic is also good
Sounds good… I appreciate it!!
@@BMcG one could say you're "green with envy"? Okay, I'll see myself out.
Loveyourcontentbtw.
Just got him from the titan crystal, excited to use him
B, would you r3 a 7 star unduped? I mean I’m really tempted.

@@BMcG Thanks man! I just needed that nudge.
And just duped him from Titan!

....still cant reduce serpent's power rate?
Yes he can…
“The Serpent was sealed away once. He does not intend to be sealed away twice. His primordial, non-magnetic armor grants Immunity to Power Lock, Special Lock, Heal Block, and Fate Seal effects, and prevents his Ability Power Rate from being reduced below 50% by non-Mystic Champions.”
how would you say he compares to other heal reversal champs like void? would love to see him do Necro Diablo or something
@@blizzardsss he’s the best heal reversal champ imo
Any champion that requires more than one braincell to play well will always get hate.
Does he need the dupe? Sounds important. Got him as a 7* out of the Beta Ray Crystals.
He doesn’t need it that much. It’s nice to have, but not needed

Won’t indomitable shut him down?
So, he is a more complicated and more niche version of Void.
His power reversal and healing reversal is more potent than Void, he’s not that complicated at all either

Not gonna lie i would rather use sandman
Just wait until he’s used in Bg’s, he’s gonna be a semi annoying defender.
He’s going to be an amazing stall. With 3/3 Inequity, he’ll be slowing people down a lot.
He might be good, unless you have any attacker
He'll be one of the defenders in mcoc ever, that's for sure. 😂
Bro I’m pretty sure he can take serpent with power reverse
He can work well. He’ll also prevent the regen I believe.
serpent can’t have his power gain stuff reduced below 50% unless you’re a mystic, although he would still dampen it and reverse the regen
