    Hey a few things I realized after uploading this:
    1. I failed to mention that this has been a stream discussion over the past few days, where people are split. Some people believe Corvus is good, whereas many others think he's not worth ranking in 2024, hence the underrated title.
    2. I was speaking a little too casually about 7-star Rank 4s. I think Rank 3s will be the top for longer than I said, but the point of rank 3s becoming more available still stands.
    3. When talking damage calculations, I meant to show Hulk as an example as to why Attack is not enough alone usually. Hulk gains 15 furies, but he doesn't pop off until he gets a different damage multiplier of reducing physical resistance. Many champs work this way, it's just that Corvus's main multiplier is via crit, whereas other champs are via prowess, or armor break, etc. It's basically multiplication vs addition. Addition is just pure attack value and needs to be MUCH higher to yield the same result as these other multipliers. And because attack can be increased through more ways than most variables (boosts, etc.), having the other multipliers in the champions kit is often more valuable than pure attack alone.

      ​@rinoxpfitness9084 strictly speaking 130 mil isn't infinite gold. But practically speaking, it is because you'll never spend all of that before your typical gold gain covers for it.

      I'm very happy for you both in being able to take advantage of these nodes without Corvus. It's a super busted combo, and is the reason I took the time to break down how they work together at the start of the video. But the reality is, many players are looking for help in clearing Zone 25 incursions. If you don't need help, awesome. But Corvus was a near cheat code helping accelerate players' progression for years. I'm not going to ignore that just because a smaller percentage of players can do it without him.

      @azevedo1046 18 днів тому +1

      @@ContestChampion I'm not necessarily trying to counter your point in any way, just to be clear. All I'm stating, is that Corvus will perform "exactly" the same as any other champion, in this scenario. You build up charges, give the 10th hit and is done. The ammount of build up is not more or less, is the same. So pretty much what I'm saying is that Corvus isn't necessarily what changes anything here. The only thing he has to offer (aside from the dot potency reduction) is just that the hit will be a guaranteed critical, and thats it. I gave my example with Kushala, which she did more damage than this Corvus in the same scenario, same build up.

    It's bizarre to me that you're complaining about ascending Corvus, when allowing players agency to mitigate RNG and higher starred champion scarcity is the whole point of ascension.
    You choose what champ you'll ascend. Or you wait to avoid ascending a champ you're going to get anyway. It's the same deal as awakening gems. Another means to mitigate the punishment of being on the bleeding edge of the game's progression.
    It's your choice. Embrace it as a way to make your set of Champions more functional.
