NORTHSTAR DOES A GIGANTIC: RAMPAGE EDITION TEIR LIST?!?!

[@jonathan3569]

Would be interesting to hear your opinions on optimal teamcomps, synergies and just ways to make lower tier heroes excell and counters to the "best" heroes in the game!

[@TheNorthstar235]

teamcomp i would say is tmat/beckett/hk/imani on ranged (if tmat isnt nerfed and bugs arent fixed shes a must pick), margrave and rutger look good for frontlines, usually one tho, and then sven (although aisling and rutger look strong)

[@TheNorthstar235]

i want to make 1 counter for every hero so ill look into that, and ill be streaming so if u swing by i can answer they lower teir excel question there. ill keep an eye out for you

[@JudgeNicodemus]

I love it that three of my mains are in B tier. No one can call my dear Tyto op when I run their fade now.

[@eeyoredankens1696]

tyto isn’t B tho, i be hard carrying

[@JudgeNicodemus]

@@eeyoredankens1696 shhhh!!! Shut up. We gotta downplay while we can. They don't know the sheer S rank potential of the one armed swordsman.

[@Pectorel]

Nice video with good explanations for each character ! Although I'm tempted to put Aisling in S Tier in Low-Medium Rank since she can destroy a creature very fast with Cador, but if she still has bugs on release (looking at you Focus) then she's good in A Tier

[@chadstacy]

Griselma is also the buggiest character in the game too. There are so many spots where if you ult, the big Portal beast doesn’t appear and you just waste the focus… I think they should also just make her portal beasts have a 360 degree arc too

[@michaelcockrell6]

Aisling has this problem alot too with her ult. If you try to place your ult and the ground isnt completely flat it can decide it cant be placed there(even if its an open part of the map thats just slightly sloped) after it fails to target once, you wont be able to target anywhere until you die

[@kirar5522]

Thank you for all these videos, theyre a lot of fun!

[@TheNorthstar235]

Glad you like them!

Keep the content going mate, good stuff

cheers, will do

[@wilverine5557]

What do you think of Roland and Kajir so far? I love Roland and his interupt potential, but Kajir I’ve had little success with

[@Tangy_Horizon]

I reaoly hope this game gets support long term

[@kyubey475]

the creators said its not a live service game and there will be no major updates like maps and heros

[@TheMightyJambu]

@@kyubey475 such a wasted opportunity :( still am over the moon we have official servers now though

[@TypicalBlakk]

@@kyubey475unless it receives massive support then they will add new map and heroes

[@ERTHL]

Sounds solid! Very useful, thank you! Can you eventually make an all-around video dedicated to returning mediocre players and noobs - with the most useful Heroes and fundamental playstyle and map maneuver tips at some point? Asking for a friend. ;D (I recently decided to mainly try Beckett, Mozu and Uncle Sven, since they seem so much fun, and I'm excited to see them so high up in your ranking. But I know, that at least Uncle Sven is no beginner hero, so I'll better postpone playing him a lot.)

[@stingray775gaming8]

Great content. I had to subscribe. I hope to see a lot of content once the game is out and hype for the release. It's coming up real soon.

[@kaceydeecee]

one thing i will say about Zandora is that she is really good at dueling assassins. If a Tripp or Kajir makes their way to the backline she smacks them around until they’re either forced to back off or kick the bucket. but otherwise yeah she’s not that great

[@BeerFoamy]

Red means danger while green means safe, typically in nature. This is why Wu’s default color hue reminds me of poisonous frog.

[@fronk_alt]

Gigantic content lets gooooo

[@jonathan3569]

Finally another video!

[@motnurky7055]

Ezren feels so depressing to play sometimes. By the time you collect souls your target has already either escaped or completely shut you down because your mobility is ass compared to every other DPS.

[@shotbysam6369]

He’s always needed a rework

[@Neekoghoul]

please do a mozu videi i love her but i suck and i wanna know what todo to improve

[@FabreezeFresh1337]

Sven is also an S tier because of his cute little voice lines like “don’t die!“ 😂

[@cepboom1892]

i wil not have any zandora hate bruh

[@PilotGuava]

If you play smart you can also play Aisling as a somewhat reliable melee dps, especially if you have teammates who apply fire to enemies or the enemy guardian. An extra flat 60 dmg isn’t something to scoff at. T-MAT + aisling is a great combo. I definitely feel like her projectile attack is a trap. Aisling to me isn’t meant to be a straight support. I personally run a support cawdor but with the weaken debuff on my regular attacks, along with the slow from his second ability. It makes it so I can put out good damage while still being able to survive much longer than I would be if I shot for straight dps.

[@s.a.w_r2081]

My favorites so far are ghal for my damage zandora for support and trying margrave for tank. I can make Zandora work for my tank but learning a pure tank would be better. Ghal feels great. Might help that my aim is realy good when not going for headshots and being able to hit 3 to go full soul and burst down is great. I've figured out with zandora that going beam and sticking with your team plue good ability usage allows you to snowball most fights. Takes some time still learning but all will come with time.

[@OhtoMata]

Could you release some basic build overviews for characters? You mentioned a lot of "With this no-brainer upgrade this character is great" meanwhile I had no idea that upgrade was even good lol

[@TheNorthstar235]

i do plan on making hero guides but those take a little time but they are coming asp

[@OhtoMata]

@@TheNorthstar235 Awesome! Looking forward to it :)

[@lunalovegood3678]

I feel that tyto is ok not having cc cus of his speed buff and overall mobility you can easily catch up to people

[@SirBork]

tripp and that damn bird is the bane of my existence

[@renzeldavid4568]

Useless if you know how to position well, they are good because there is no coordination and they just pick targets 1v1

[@Wash-tq7ed]

CHARNOK IN B TEIR?! Rage joke aside I think it’s fair, i remember maiming him when the game first came out and he has great highs and rough lows, you get caught lacking as Charnok your just out of luck, but when the going is good, he’s pretty solid, B tier seems appropriate

[@archangelnoah9535]

Only reason I'm bringing this up is because of the humor I find in hk being able to ungabunga 2 other 'S' tier characters As a funny moment that could be noted, hk is not a tank and should not sit in turret form too long.... however I had a moment on day 1 were with a full hp/daze/weaken build was able to 1v2 Imani+margrave in turret form only due to immunities. which shows the statistical power of hk. (Don't try this in higher tier matches... you may not survive)

[@tytothetoetaker9788]

Hello from the gig haven discord.

[@Arkael1110]

A tier list where Rutger is not S tier is so wild. I agree with everything else though, especially the placement of my favorite Paladin lady.... She needs buffed badly.

[@cauesx]

Griselma D?????????????????????????

[@cyberdrought944]

Is kajir new? I didn't see him on the tier list

[@eliengstrom2423]

Imani has limited range? Idk what it is but I've had a few times where I shoot someone and it says out of range and does no damage

[@sleepyshaman94]

No roland or kajir?

[@LinusZambiasi]

Maybe i m crazy, but tripp in B is not right, i think she is the strongest assasin in the game

My boy tyto always slept on ezren too. But i do agree him being so rmb reliant sucks

[@chrisiskandar7388]

Yeah, figures... every time i have one or two of those s tier ranged damage guys in enemy team and they are decently skilled, i can just pack up with my bruiser heroes. Dont like this ranged meta.

[@joeconnerson9773]

Hey im new... Is this game better on mouse and keyboard or controller? Like example. Smite on controller is so booty. The turn speedis just terrible. But for mouse and keyboard its good. I might invest in a cobtroller. I just want to know what the top players prefer.

[@facupov]

Mouse+KBM for sure, playing with controller its usually a disadvantage

[@madderthaneggs7129]

Great video!! How would you nerf Sven?

[@TheNorthstar235]

for me, it would be reduce the healing numbers he gets from absorption matrix (500 over 10s), i would increase his cds, and reduce his hp. he is very survivable which is really strong for a support who can keep his whole team sustained

[@Ben-hc1tt]

I would also decrease the duration of debuff immunity (idk remember what). Their durations make teamfights winnable considering once you drop that debuff immunity in the fight, you are basically unstoppable from characters like Ramsey, Xeno, Tyto and more. Though otherwise making seven is fine tbh.@@TheNorthstar235

[@silverfox9107]

Xenobia on c is cracked

[@jamiejame911]

She has to be A or so imo.

[@TheMelloMunsta5]

Zandora?!....D tier?!?!....If you say so, but I make crazy plays with her all the time lol

[@TheNorthstar235]

she isnt good ngl

[@rinhatsuyuki7090]

the true meta is randoms in your games who ignore composition... *sigh*

[@dominicstatuto8482]

Wu woulda been in SS pre-nerf lol.

[@cannerman2344]

Just an aesthetic thing most tier lists make the S tier green (as in good) and then proceed to red in their F or D tiers. Just food for thought. Really great video!

[@Adloquiem]

Honestly all the tier lists I’ve seen have it as red for top tier and green for bottom lol

[@welkin7321]

yeah S bring green makes more sense when you think “green is correct, red is wrong”; but a lot of the time in tier lists, it’s not that one answer is wrong - but one answer is just better than another. they use a dark red on top and a light green on bottom because the red is the most saturated - the most powerful.

[@cannerman2344]

Guess it’s different per KZbinr. Either way is fine the videos are still good

[@krytxps]

I feel like every tier list I've seen red is S

[@agama__]

not really from the lists I’ve seen honestly

[@deadbird808]

Who the hell takes companions boon with voden 😂. Take it from a rank 45 voden with a 20.0 kd, do not take companions boon 😂

[@TheNorthstar235]

imo its better, keep ur uptime going

[@deadbird808]

@@TheNorthstar235 i average 70-85k damage at end of clash matches, there is no need for the extra damage you get from your clone unless your just trying to pad your stats. Vodens stealth through Q is thee main reason his survivability is so high, without it, your just asking to get ganked all game unless you play super passive in the back, which that playstyle wouldnt make good use of your clone to maximize damage. His high jump alone isnt enough to get you out of most sticky situations. With having decoy instead, you can play more upfront and way more aggressive, which in most cases will net you more dps than just sitting in the back. Not to mention its way to easy for plp to identify which is the real voden and which is the clone, making a horrible option as a get away skill. The transition to decoy is almost IMPOSSIBLE for plp to tell when you press Q, which alot of times makes your opponent waste their cds on it. This is literally a no brainer with you put them side by side lol

[@AlexSxntana]

Personally put Ramsay into top A low S

[@TheNorthstar235]

hes nerfed in RE, so imo he isnt as good anymore. Still good but imo not S teir

@@TheNorthstar235 ahh I haven’t played RE, I’m just going off gameplay hopefully he gets a lil buff but we’ll see, I’m biased cus I just love his play style

[@TheNorthstar235]

@@AlexSxntana for me, idt he needs a buff rn, hes good but not op af

[@empicamper]

Man what is it with game devs making snipers the most op class imaginable, like yeah, it takes skill to aim, but thats not an excuse to give them EVERYTHING on top of crazy hight dmg, every character needs to aim, the point of a sniper is for them to be a huge threat at range, but no more then an nuisance close range, if a bad sniper has the tools to make up for their mistake and nulllify the effort of an assassin trying to flank then they will be top tier, which isnt fun for others. Dont get me wrong i have no problem with getting my heaad blown off by someone who put more time into one class/character then i did into the game as a whole, the thing is however that these players, more often then not, do not need the utility of a stealth, speed or a dash none of that. Because they simply wont let you get close. Take TF2's sniper for example of what NOT to do. What follows is an unnecessary tf2 rant feel free to skip if you want: ((tf2 sniper has the ability to instakill 5 out of the 9 playable characters in a fraction of a second, since quickscopes deal 150dmg and most classes have either 125hp, or in the case of medic 150hp. so you would think that with this insane level of power and infinite effective range, given that all he needs a line of sight, surely he is absolutely worthless in melee range right? surely there isnt a weapon combination that lets him oneshot 7 and twoshot 8 out of the 9 classes. Not only is it VERY hard to even get CLOSE to a competent sniper, EVEN IF YOU DO its also hard to even kill the bastard since in close range, unlike you, he doesnt need to aim, he just has a guaranteed 195 dmg MELE hit, ready to ruin your day.)) TLDR: give snipers ALL THE DAMAGE you want, just dont give them a way to EASILY escape from / fight off an assassin, high damage and and (near) infinite range is good enough as is, there NEEDS to be a down side to every character, in every role.

[@TheNorthstar235]

snipers dont fit into gig very well, the whole thing with ranged is that they dont use as much stamina in combat compared to range, but the fact that imani can deal all her damage with no range, and has a strong way to survive being attacked at close range is crazy

[@PoutyBun]

A good imani with the right upgrades feels way too oppressive for the whole match and requires way too much commitment to kill It doesn't help her case that aim assist heavily favors console players

[@saint_snow]

@@PoutyBun Curious how they will deal with aim assist bc afaik it was bad during windows/xbox days so I doubt it will be oppressive.

[@saint_snow]

I mained Imani during gig's launch and she doesn't seem much different in the tests. Her close range is still dogmeat, she just has range dps and good escapes. Really it's the assassins that are lacking currently. Wu is the best dps and he is more of a brawler. We still don't know how the two new dps characters will play into the game either especailly the cat one. Also she doesn't have unlimited range, she's all I played in the test as well and you need to be within a certain range to damage the boss during a clash.

[@empicamper]

@@saint_snow Thats exactly what i said, you cant have a character with near unlimited range have a good escape, im not saying dont give her any escapes, I just think that as of right now, she has a very easy to use tool to get out of trouble, if it was more like vodens clone, then sure i can see the potencial mind games with the clone and stealth, but given that she has a stun on her stealth there isnt much an assassin, other then maybe tripp or wu like you said, can do, if they need to use their mobility skill to close the gap on her, I still want her to have A way to escape, you just need to be on guard as the imani player, having a way to PREVENT an approach is MUCH BETTER then having a way to easily escape from it. I dont think she needs to do less damage, i just think it needs to be harder for the imani player to get away from an assassin. Also regarding the range thing, boss is different to players, vs players she has basically infinite range, if it was the same for the boss she would be the best hero in the game, so the fact you need to get closer to damage the core is a good thing.
