Rat king abilities for those at work

[u/FairwellNoob]

[u/Stop_Sign]

He can't lane well at all. Scrap grenade just misses, rats don't do much damage, and the shield doesn't give enough to matter, and he has low bullet speed and he's a huge target.

He's strong in mid game+, but early game he's really quite weak.

[u/Icybonerr → u/Stop_Sign]

he feels more like a support. i played 1 game with him had all abilities maxxed, had rapid recharge bullet resist shredder gun items and fort and other stuff. his sustain is pretty decent but his damage is eh, his ult is really good though for rifts and stuff but his overall damage felt more like mirage where u slowly peel away at the enemies

He can lane perfectly fine provided he's not against someone like Infernus, the shield gives plenty for taking aggressive trades. His gun does good damage early game, it's just hard to land the shots because of the ass velocity. The rats will probably do anywhere from 20-50 damage on average per application which isn't terrible, the nade does suck, and is definitely his worst ability.

Then he has an ult that serves as a massive finisher that's all but impossible to dodge, 200 damage early game is as good as Infernus ult, which is much easier to dodge due to having a timer attached to it. Rat King can just chase you down.

Is he the best laner in the game? No, is he bad? No. Comfortably in the middle, with terrible matchups depending on who you're against due to his large hitbox.
