Once again love it ! Do you think adding a “who can counter this champ “ like a little list of maybe 5 champs who can counter the champion of the spotlight could be added ?
Spotlights are intended to be evergreen, so I think "weaknesses" tends to cover that better. We don't want to sign people up for updating those forever.
I don’t have a 6* Sentinel relic but I’ve been having a great time heavy spamming at 3 bars with the Hulkbuster relic. Limited testing but seems to be about the same speed as throwing sp2’s, some of my times were a little faster if I got aggressive enough. Absolutely love his new kit! Gave him an AG and 80 sigs 😄. Thanks for the detailed overview!
@@Daddylonglegs93 Thanks! I was really hoping for him so I was very happy. Great event by Kabam imo. Not just because I got Sentinel. Overall, it really was awesome.
Looks awesome, definitely using my Glorious Guardians Awakening Gem on Sentinel that ability reminds me of Serpent's a little bit. Fight almost over but uh oh now they gain a ton of power and are harder to kill. This is exactly the type of tech that I was looking for to R3. Compliments Prowler, Shocker, and Peni very well I think. Tech is such a good class.
There’s definitely going to be times where the AI is uncooperative and a node or something prevents downing Sentinel in time before the sig brings him to 3 bars and he comes back at full hp lol
Thank you for another awesome Spotlight with context video DLL! Really enjoyed this one as Sentinel has been a long time favourite champion for me, i just never really used him before his buff. I reckon I’ll invest into him on my F2P account to give it more tech utility options for quests etc 😊
Love this robot, awakened him and took him to r2! 🤖 One of the things that I see people are tearing him down for is not having plasma as his sp2 debuffs against mutants, since many mutants are incinerate immune. One potential solution that would be cool to fix this is that after Sentinel replaces themselves after tthe sp3, then the sp2 does plasma, since it's analyzed its opponent and replaced itself with an upgraded version. Lmk what you think!
What I think is the community is way too quick to see a limitation and think "problem to be fixed" rather than "nuance to this game of 300 champions." Sentinel only having access to incinerate is intentional, since it also has shock, armor break to boost his hit damage, and heal block to keep things moving. That's enough tools.
I think this guy's Buff is amazing. The only thing I would change is making his Armor Breaks a little more potent and last longer as sort of an alternative Damage source against Mutants that punish you for incinerating them like Onslaught and Bishop.
The last several techs have avoided relying on incinerate. I think it's completely fine to have one (with a primary defensive focus) that just isn't good there. Remember, it's important to *not* try to cover all of a champion's weaknesses.
The only problem i have with Sentinel is he doesn't have an indefinite armor up buff that way hes good against Havok and also he can't have his ability accuracy modified by any champ
Indefinite armor up *buff* on an armor break immune champ is a valid threat on its current trigger, but is problematic if it's always up. Then we have a tech champ encouraging nullify on armored assault nodes or anything similar, and we try to avoid that. To your second point, I think you're being a lot more casual with that massive piece of utility than we're willing to be. It takes up a lot of a champ's power budget, which wouldn't have been wise for the time we had on these buffs, and bluntly players just need to accept that not all techs need to counter Domino. The game needs more variance than that.
@Daddylonglegs93 I get what you're saying. I just thought it would have been nice he could have gotten these because this is Sentinel a robot created for the sole purpose to hunt down and capture or destroy all mutants
You have to be really, really careful using comic book logic when trying to make a good game. Somebody tried that with Nimrod and we're *still* paying for it. Good design trumps lore, every time. It has to.
I have a question … when you take the champion attribute into account … do you consider broth attack and defence potentials ? Because I think the “survivability” should be more than 3.5 if you take into account his defensive kit
Having a 7* r3 Sentinel is such a blast throwing him on defense in battlegrounds as gotten me so many wins
Thanks as always for the great videos - happy new year, DLL!

That's really cool to hear! I'll keep that in mind.
Awesome! He is the one I dupped! Excited to watch this. Thanks DLL!
Congrats on the pull!

Haha my alt also grabbed him (alone out of the pool) so I hear you there. Glad you enjoyed it!

@Daddylonglegs93 Agreed! I think he's a monster 😂 awesome buff(s) all around
I took hik to R2 and used my awakening gem on him. I love him!
I’m pretty sure we are seeing robot/tech WoW aarkus, which will have sentinel as a designed counter.
Careful, tinfoil supplies are limited 😜

Where would you place him within the tech class?
Relevant, better in defence and way better against a lot of mutants, and definitely amazing in questing
I don't do rankings here. I think that tends to eliminate a lot of nuance, which is kind the whole point of this series.
@@Daddylonglegs93 fair enough. Liked your content, indeed it’s different.

No that kind of thing is intended to be covered by the defender score
Would you say the awakened ability serves Sentinel better as a BG defender? And that unawakened, he can quest just fine?
Yeah I think that's true. The debuff duration is nice but not necessary
Does the sp3 count as LMD for Deadpool's abilities??😅
It does not, but since Sentinel doesn't bleed, it also doesn't matter lol
