@@AbangLongLa well atleast just a little bit is fine just to show how good she is, but given her current state, Moonton won’t do much to her with adjustments
I think the reason why players are not picking Ruby as main fighter is mostly because they prefer burst damage in exchange for sustain. Heck, there are even fighters that can deal good burst damage while maintaining their heavy sustain.
Well, in reality those burst dmg heroes were more efficient, because if you're a solo player that's the best way to deal with not that good carry teammates, so can't blame them. But you can also make burst Ruby without buying sustain item that makes her just like Chou, in exchange, as you know she will became squishy.
I think the only fighter with good burst, sustain and chase capabilities would be alucard Hes not tanky but not that soft He isnt op but not too weak Isnt as fast as ling or zilong but with right skills and timing hes the worst to deal with
@@spider-man5544 bruh Alucard? Nah, he's a very bad choice for exp lane. There are way better picks if you want burst/sustain or chase like Hilda, Dyrroth, Chou, Yu Zhong and so on. I think even Harrith does way better on exp than Alucard xD
Ruby counters so many heroes well with her 2nd skill. You can catch Fanny if you're fast, and if you're insane you can ult her. She's a massive pain to heroes who need to spam skills to stay alive, like Lance and Ling. This is one of the reasons she also makes such a good tank.
She can also counter gusion skills with her second skills too if you perfectly time it, that's why most of the time i use her if there's an enemy gusion in the enemy line up
Fun fact, it works on aldous ult too. I save lots of teammates and myself with it🤣 I had low hp and aldous decided to lock on me. I just go into my turret and time my skill 2 right. Aldous ended up dying himself 🤣
@@bananajajaja6262 if I had a dollar for every time I've saved our dying mm using s2 and ult, then I'dd have her aspirants skin by now. I only wish they would stop running away from me during Aldog's ult
Tip on using Ruby: Ruby has 2 dashes Forward dash is longer while Backward is shorter Aiming her 2nd skill to a certain direction can trigger her forward dash if you also follow that aim Some Ruby user just use 2nd skill by tapping/spamming so when escaping she mostly do backward dash(shorter) Edit:another tip (most of Ruby main know this but..) Ruby 1st skill has 2 damage type with same damage dealt. Casting 1st skill when enemy is in melee basic attack range can make the damage twice as effective.
yeah that extra dmg from her initial slash on the first skill helps a lot early game, especially since most people wouldn't expect Ruby to deal any good damage early
Some reasons why Ruby is my main: - has a built-in brute force passive (without the speed buff) - AoE skills with CC - free dash after skill (can pass through thin walls) - great sustainability - unpredictable combos (e.g. hook+flicker combo) - fun and easy to use I build her by default as a fighter/tank/poke with max CDR. Ruby never failed me ever since, as she's also my go-to hero especially when in solo queue 😊
Been using ruby for a while, she's underrated as an exp laner. Just used her earlier and she absolutely dominates the game especially when she has a lot of lifesteal
@@mig5852 i agree with esme and paquito being more versatile but uranus is definitely not. Uranus is mainly hp regen and some dps while ruby has those and CC skills lol
@@seemsoverseas4493 just get cd reduction boots,endless and oracle(part of her core items anyways) and u can spam s1 to move faster. Besides if you good map awarness your rotation speed wont be affected much
@@pettanshrimpnazunasapostle1992 Uranus does have slows and any cc other than slows on uranus would be op. Ruby's main weakness is cc. Whilst Uranus doesn't have to skill cast to remain tanky, Ruby does. You also can get away with just having enchanted talisman on uranus and build him full tank after. Ruby on the other hand requires AP build for her high lifesteal she can build only haas claws but then her lifesteal falters. I do prefer ruby for sets, but overrall Uranus is a much better hero for getting to backline with speed increase and a blink.
I think the reason why Ruby is preferred less is the need to dedicate your items for lifesteal for high sustainability instead of damage to help out your allies with some extra damage, making Ruby weak but incredibly tough when she's aggressive. Edit: After a few games of Ruby, i can say my opinion has changed for the positive. But now, idk why not many people choose Ruby anymore, lol.
Idk i like that kind of fighter usually for me a fighter is lile a secondary tank you need sustain you could go for full attack but why the mm mage and core can do those better
Well its bcs exp lane is not as popular among players, she deals pretty good dmg, if u snowball early game u can feel it, and also bcs u acts as a secondary tank, only the cores will do the dmg while u tank for the team, that’s one of ruby’s specialties
well i play her as roamer tank with hard cc / interrupt. people might play her as offlane fighter with lifesteal build but i'm not comfortable taking that role especially in high rank matches.
@@movietrailers6149 have you been playing ml when ruby was immune to anti-heal? she cannot be countered at that time tha'ts why she is the most OP fighter at that time.
I feel like she’s preferred less is because of liking a high damage hero that can 1v1 and push lanes quickly, over a balanced hero that’s more useful in teamfights. Most solo queue players have bad team synergy and don’t try to understand how their team prefers to fight (ambush, baiting etc). Having good team synergy and understanding your team players method of fighting is essential for ruby mains. Because of this, most exp laners prefer a bursty hero.
I once had a decent Ruby in my team before that has solo carried us throughout the game. And what was epic about her gameplay was when 4 of us are dead and she's left alone to deal against 5 enemies, she was able to kill those in 10-30 secs interval each. Her lifesteal was insane even the enemy has already equipped anti-heal items. 'Twas undeniably commendable.
It's been a while since I've last used Ruby but she's my main back in the days when she's not a tank. I hope instead of gaining durability when she's dashing, she would gain additional damage so she could be a strong fighter again.
She became a tank because of her cc skills, but I actually prefer as a full-on fighter. Since that was one of the reasons back then she became my main and go to.
I somewhat disagree.. whats make her Fighter/Tank IS because of her passive, players can choose whether or not they want to play her as fighter or tank, which makes her versatile. Taking away her tanky passive will just make her less versatile and effective in teamfights, or she’ll just be blasted away before she can even do anything, even with her tanky passive, penetration is still one of the key counters for her, dont forget antiheal, cc and much more. So in my opinion, i disagree
@@IsoyaYasuji it's ok the durability part But if we have to choose skill 1 between (low demage with slow) or (high demage without slow). I'm sure most old ruby main will choose the (high demage no slow)
I think it's more of a preference thing since most popularly picked fighters priotize outright damage with minimum sustain. Perfect for ambushes but not as much in clashes. Ruby among other fighters falls on prioritizing sustain over pure damage. It will buy your teammates some time to catch-up in clashes. Also her role is tank/fighter which makes sense.
Lolita was the other character who has gained popularity for quite sometime now(also with the pros) even though she hasn't received any major changes as well
Elgin.. Congrats on 3 million subscribers! I watched your videos since the first animation story videos and memes, and here we are haha It was fun seeing the best Mobile Legends youtuber get the best attention and best content. And again, congrats on 3m!
She’s my most played hero. And like you said, she’s not a Paquito or a Yu Zhong(who isn’t lagging) or an Aldous, etc. Her damage is just not enough. Late game, she can’t do much against a marksman.
One of the best part of ruby is the fast cast skill, her skill 2 can almost interrupt any skill, because her skill will always cast faster than enemy cast skill
I remember the time when Ruby was still immune to anti heal. Many ml players and even pro players did not know that! She is the most OP fighter at that time!
I always loved using Ruby to dance with my opponent. Especially mid to late game and everyone decides to clutter up in a group making it easy for me to use my lifesteal passive+skills.
I usually use her when the team needs a fighter and also when the roamer is a support btw u can use 2 skills at the same timeand dash once and you get 2x the passive
Ruby has only two real fatal flaws. First, despite her monstrous sustain and the massive defenses she can gain from her passive, her HP pool is just... Terrible. This makes her extremely susceptible to penetration effects and true damage. Second is she somehow ends up with an Esmeralda in the same team. Shields block lifesteal effects altogether, and since Esme continuously slaps shields on enemies, you can forget about your sustain and might as well build full tank.
To be honest I mained Ruby for a while and she can be op as a tank or fighter. The problem I see is that some people don't see her potential due to the meta (And she once used to be a top ban in the past if u remember)
Back on the good old days when I was struggling quite a bit to reach mythic for 1st time in solo Q, I ranked up using Ruby and Vale. Back on that time sometimes I was forced to play core Ruby xD, I would win like 8/10 matches with the damage build + 1 defense item. Nowadays that build isn't the best for Ruby, the last time I tried haas claws + endless battle + 3 defense items I started to notice that this was actually the best build, even though tanky Ruby players won't get a lot of kills like Paquito and Julian players, it's so funny to being a pain in the ass to the enemy team by being almost unkillable, CC and mess up their tank setups, hooking perfectly 3 enemies and it's most likely to be a secure win. Thanks to your video I'll play Ruby more often like I used to, I think Paquito is strong and funny to play while getting kills but I think my playstyle is like a Rambo 1v5 🤣
The reason why she is not picked often is her weak early game. She loses to most meta fighters in lane. She is very item reliant and gets bullied until she gets haas claws. Furthermore, she is now affected by anti heal. I guess the most viable way to play her now would be the roamer role.
5:46 It looked like you got knocked up by your ally Terizla XD but I know it was fredrinns second skill's second phase. It just happened at the same time 🤣
Her damage is not big, but it can make the fight dances longer and make enemy angrier,. Sometimes i let my enemy make my hp drop until left 20% and then i walk forward to minions, use skill 2 and my hp full again, it is fun
Thanks..proud Ruby user here...ang sarap niya kasi gamitin sa clash...may slow may stun may ulti na kaya kayong hablutin....heheh... No.1 pa Ruby nga lang ako sa barangay namin...
Congrats on 3m … finally the ruby video we have been waiting for 🙌🙌… she is main for 2 years now .. her dashes and the way the she move is a like a dance that not everyone can master … though she is balanced I feel they harmed her with nerfing her most core items that boosted her life steal … I really hope they increase her life’ steal just a little bit
I've recently bought Ruby and i thought she's difficult to use but then i had fun using her especially in early in exp lane. Easy to poke and get out of trouble. Has a decent damage in early game but lacks damage in mid-late game but in exchange you go for a sustain build w/ cdr and make her a non-stop cc and sustain fighter. Overall, i see her as a perfect example of a balance hero that is underrated but you can consider her as a go to exp laner with good cc and sustain.
I'd say you hit the nail on the head as to why she is not picked that much - only missed the fact that she's not a fast tower killing machine. So yeah, she's not a fast hero killer, not a fast tower killer, only a great second tank - and people don't even like to be A tank, so...
I just started playing ruby like a few months ago. There was a time when I just don't play her at all because I think I suck at playing ruby. I absolutely love her playstyle. Doing 1vs1 or even 1vs3 in exp lane is my favorite thing playing ruby. She could dash everywhere and cancel almost every hero's skill. I like to build her as tanky hero+rapid boots. She literally just evade any skills directed towards her. Today I survive gank from lylia, vale and vexana for a long time. Unfortunately, I don't have any damage to actually kill any of them. In solo rank, you can't depend on anyone. I ended up losing a lot using ruby because usually the enemy's team is full of cc and my team doesn't have good teamwork which is unfortunate because I absolutely love cancelling everyone's skills just by pressing a button. I'm a mage main and asassins is really scary but with ruby? Pffff. If she win her lane and dominate, nobody could kill her (unless everyone save their ult only for ruby lol).
Ruby neither deals damage nor sustain too much. You can pick Terizla or Yu Zhong and deal a lot of dmg having the same sustain. If you want a tanky hero with utility, you can pick Franco or Atlas. They are more tanky and provide good CC. So she either need to become a real tank or deal much more dmg. So she can become an alternative to Franco or Alpha
I agree to that I can out sustain 3 heroes in early to mid game and can hold my lane pretty well. She, freya ,Guinevere and silvanna are the only fighter heroes i know and used if my role got pick and i have to adjust
I'm a Ruby main and what I can suggest. Build her with Blood Lust Axe and Haas Claw. Her lifesteal are skill based so Blood Lust to increase the percentage of lifesteal. Also if you really want some sustain and kinda semi tank, give her the fighter emblem that raise her lifesteal. She can be immortal in the battlefield
Ruby is the best offlaner to pick right now, shes kind of broken. 1)all three skills have cc 2)low mana requirements 3)high lifesteal 4) tanky af. 5) suprisingly high damage.
Not broken. Can be asily countered by dominance ice. Elgin is right, she's balanced as of now. If she's broken then she should have been a top pick/ban in rank and MPL. Esmeralda still outshines Ruby as sustain offlane hero
Well im here to say not so as a ruby main for over 4 yrs now. High lifesteal can still be easily countered with antiheal. Even tho tanky, she can still be bursted if not careful. Her dmg is about decent on hybrid build but if u do full dmg she’ll be very squishy
another reason why is because players dont know what role is she either a fighter or tank. Just a single offense item like has haas claws 50 seconds later your team respawns i like her more tanky than fighter but if the team needs a frontliner you can choose her
Please do the Arrogant Noble Lady who's looking for her Brother. I think she is getting picked frequently right now, and what are your Thoughts about her.
Tbh they just need to adjust her numbers to make her a good exp laner. Increase her magic defense, physical defense and HP base stats or adjusting her passive.
I main Ruby and usually the thrill I get is making the set while using her as a exp lane but with tank emblem. And I play her like how a cat plays its prey/food. I do agree with your comment Elgin that most players prefer burst dmg. Only a few people feels fulfilled when they do a great set for the team.
That's exactly my preferred playstyle. I'll endlessly bait my opponent and then when there's a small chance of turning the situation, BAM. Uno reverse card. Unfortunately my teammates just want to run head first into enemy's crowd without thinking.
You pretty much get my point when I said I'm still hoping for a buff for her. Because I'm a solo player I want to use her as a fighter not a tank but she's only good for teamfight.
I genuinely feel so proud of myself to main my hero
true ruby best hero

Well more recognition = nerf. Better keep her as it should be
I've been picking her if I need to roam and I gotta say, she's better than my roam main, Faramis. (also easier to ks)

Ruby has 2 dashes
Forward dash is longer while Backward is shorter

Ruby 1st skill has 2 damage type with same damage dealt. Casting 1st skill when enemy is in melee basic attack range can make the damage twice as effective.

- AoE skills with CC
- free dash after skill (can pass through thin walls)
- great sustainability
- unpredictable combos (e.g. hook+flicker combo)
- fun and easy to use

Congrats on 3m … finally the ruby video we have been waiting for 🙌🙌… she is main for 2 years now .. her dashes and the way the she move is a like a dance that not everyone can master … though she is balanced I feel they harmed her with nerfing her most core items that boosted her life steal … I really hope they increase her life’ steal just a little bit
I just love when ruby goes "AAaaooooooo"
Finally 3 m sub good job elgin 🕶️
Those flicker hooks are just amazing
I've recently bought Ruby and i thought she's difficult to use but then i had fun using her especially in early in exp lane. Easy to poke and get out of trouble. Has a decent damage in early game but lacks damage in mid-late game but in exchange you go for a sustain build w/ cdr and make her a non-stop cc and sustain fighter. Overall, i see her as a perfect example of a balance hero that is underrated but you can consider her as a go to exp laner with good cc and sustain.
Congratulations on 3M subs
Congratulations on 3 Millon subscribers
I think players ate addicted to burst heroes.
Congratulations for 3 million subscribers brother 🥰
I'd say you hit the nail on the head as to why she is not picked that much - only missed the fact that she's not a fast tower killing machine.
So yeah, she's not a fast hero killer, not a fast tower killer, only a great second tank - and people don't even like to be A tank, so...
If the talent system is not cancelled Ruby will be the one of the meta heroes
I just started playing ruby like a few months ago. There was a time when I just don't play her at all because I think I suck at playing ruby.
I absolutely love her playstyle. Doing 1vs1 or even 1vs3 in exp lane is my favorite thing playing ruby. She could dash everywhere and cancel almost every hero's skill.
I like to build her as tanky hero+rapid boots. She literally just evade any skills directed towards her. Today I survive gank from lylia, vale and vexana for a long time. Unfortunately, I don't have any damage to actually kill any of them.
In solo rank, you can't depend on anyone. I ended up losing a lot using ruby because usually the enemy's team is full of cc and my team doesn't have good teamwork which is unfortunate because I absolutely love cancelling everyone's skills just by pressing a button.
I'm a mage main and asassins is really scary but with ruby? Pffff.
If she win her lane and dominate, nobody could kill her (unless everyone save their ult only for ruby lol).
Ruby neither deals damage nor sustain too much. You can pick Terizla or Yu Zhong and deal a lot of dmg having the same sustain. If you want a tanky hero with utility, you can pick Franco or Atlas. They are more tanky and provide good CC. So she either need to become a real tank or deal much more dmg. So she can become an alternative to Franco or Alpha
I think carpe diem is Latin not French which means "sieze the day". One of my favorite motivational sayings.
Me who using Petrify over Flicker on Ruby : "there is no such thing as too many cc"
I agree to that I can out sustain 3 heroes in early to mid game and can hold my lane pretty well. She, freya ,Guinevere and silvanna are the only fighter heroes i know and used if my role got pick and i have to adjust
Enemy ruby: extreme lifesteal
Our ruby: c h o c o
All entire video be like: ‘’AWWOOO’’
Nice video, big like Haha
Happy 3m subscribers sir you are the best❤❤
She can sustain, she can deal damage and also has hard CC.
Ahhh yes, my main hero of all time.
Well, Ruby is the most balance hero. Not meta but not that weak as well 🥰🥰🥰
I think his not lying when he said lag because you could see clearly... his trying to slow but skill went to different direction.
I'm a Ruby main and what I can suggest.
Build her with Blood Lust Axe and Haas Claw. Her lifesteal are skill based so Blood Lust to increase the percentage of lifesteal. Also if you really want some sustain and kinda semi tank, give her the fighter emblem that raise her lifesteal. She can be immortal in the battlefield
Ruby is the best offlaner to pick right now, shes kind of broken.
1)all three skills have cc
2)low mana requirements
3)high lifesteal
4) tanky af.
5) suprisingly high damage.
Not broken. Can be asily countered by dominance ice. Elgin is right, she's balanced as of now. If she's broken then she should have been a top pick/ban in rank and MPL. Esmeralda still outshines Ruby as sustain offlane hero
Well im here to say not so as a ruby main for over 4 yrs now. High lifesteal can still be easily countered with antiheal. Even tho tanky, she can still be bursted if not careful. Her dmg is about decent on hybrid build but if u do full dmg she’ll be very squishy
another reason why is because players dont know what role is she either a fighter or tank. Just a single offense item like has haas claws 50 seconds later your team respawns i like her more tanky than fighter but if the team needs a frontliner you can choose her
9:20
this play is so satisfying.
Please do the Arrogant Noble Lady who's looking for her Brother. I think she is getting picked frequently right now, and what are your Thoughts about her.
ruby is all you want from fighter, strong lifesteal and strong cc
As an Argus Main, I hate dealing with Ruby the most. She's definitely the counter for that hero.
Tbh they just need to adjust her numbers to make her a good exp laner. Increase her magic defense, physical defense and HP base stats or adjusting her passive.
ruby's line matches quite well in 4:10
and as a ruby the best thing that can happen is you flicker hook someone away from their base or tower or flicker hook someone in ur tower lol
as a ruby user I can agree Ruby is Good at defense and offence
Why did they change the original walking animation of this skin? 😥
Shes second to nana in level of annoyance 💀.
I think she is great pick because of her skill he had a lot of slow and stunned effect
i suggest use her second skill wisely because that skill will save you if someone is chasing you
Happy 3million subs🥳🎉🎉❤️
Devs: sees a balanced hero
Devs: let's overbuff the crap out of them so our sales gets bigger
What Isoya wanted:- martis jungler gameplay
What he got:- a ruby gameplay

I main Ruby and usually the thrill I get is making the set while using her as a exp lane but with tank emblem. And I play her like how a cat plays its prey/food. I do agree with your comment Elgin that most players prefer burst dmg. Only a few people feels fulfilled when they do a great set for the team.
That's exactly my preferred playstyle. I'll endlessly bait my opponent and then when there's a small chance of turning the situation, BAM. Uno reverse card.
Unfortunately my teammates just want to run head first into enemy's crowd without thinking.
You pretty much get my point when I said I'm still hoping for a buff for her. Because I'm a solo player I want to use her as a fighter not a tank but she's only good for teamfight.
Can we talk about how didn't Esmeralda show up on any of these lists surprisingly?
Got a bit confused when he didn't build the mallet first.
