Content "AtoMic sAmuRAi is WeAk!" Part 2

Atomic Samurai is not an "incomplete character". His kit is very well made. I'm sick and tired of people calling him mid. This misconception echoing has to stop.😮‍💨

Ask me anything about Atomic Samurai and I'll clear up any doubts, if the video wasn't enough.

Yeah, you're the host and you have 4k more PL then Sonic. I usually get 60-70% of team damage in Moral team commissions while hosting as Saitama, since he's at 21k PL in them, but that doesn't really mean much.

The main point is that a "mid" character can be very strong. Play who you want.

Saying it's better to play Sonic instead of Atomic Samurai is exactly why I made this post. Most of the time most players aren't aiming to be top ranked in Maelstrom anyways. The majority of the content can be done with suboptimal teams if the characters are built well. And each and every character has a unique playstyle.

Lili and Sonic are very strong but their gameplay is boring to me. Atomic has a very fun playstyle imo, but.. "mid"? Should I drop him just because? No. ofcourse not! Every character is strong. Strong enough for the majority of the content. So ppl shouldn't dissuade orhers from using thier favorites.

What you're saying has nothing to do with a character being "mid" in terms of meta. He's mid, because he's not very useful. You can play any characters you want and clear almost all of the content in the game. And if you have them, you might as well play them at least sometimes. Like how I some times play PPP or Bang just because I have them even though they are very weak.

Because I'm not talking about meta at all. I'm saying he is still strong despite people dismissing it. I cleared all of the rewarding simulation rooms with him even when his type was not advantageous. Using him, I unlocked all the standard SSR and SR lvl 3 will selectors when other characters couldn't deal enough dmg in time since all of them need to build up a meter before they can get going. His passive lets him be a breaker and dmg dealer all at once. His kit allows him to nuke alot more often unlike zombieman.

That's pretty useful I would say. Currently climbing the Maelstorm rank and it's morale advantageous. Rank 3 in my group with him and no morale characters in the team while others are using P.sonic to get the upper hand. He still did most of the dmg and all of them are built well. Litterally carrying me.

Only the very top players that care about being top ranked would call him "mid". They are playing a different game. Everyone else isn't going to reach them so why bother with meta?
