Sun Is Officially Meta - 5 Reasons Why You NEED to Pick Him

[@yaboikyohai4323]

That easy stack of armor reduction made things very easy for him to dominate alongside the 2nd skill pass through on heroes

[@a_very_burnt_steak]

Reminiscent of Saber's. But they get countered easily against good comps.

[@gubotjovenh.8223]

3:22 Elgin: and remember, if you lose, it's not Sun's fault, it's yours 😝😝😝

[@fukimomikoto2677]

no, it's the roamers fault. heck it's everyone's fault except you.

[@Grey_Fit]

As much as I don't want this hero to become a meta because it's been a year since i was abusing semi hybrid sun

[@Grey_Fit]

Cd boots Coro Scythe Thunderbelt Dominance/Brute Force DHS Rose Gold/Sea Halberd(if you choose brute force rose gold if you buy dominance) This build can sustain and deal a lot of damage

[@caoinismyname]

Same here. I have very high win rate even in high rank with roamer Sun or a mage-build Sun. Now, I can't troll much with him because of the frequent ban or picked by others. :3

[@Ornyl]

New one is kinda not the same as old sun 😂

[@cptpricex8241]

​@@Grey_Fiti would add windtalker instead of corrosion

[@yaboikyohai4323]

@@cptpricex8241 give better stats and damage agency due to 3rd skill on hit, attack slow, atk spd stack, and movement speed which unlike wind offers no atk, has crit chance which don't matter if you don't have 50% and only atk spd and flat ms stat

[@tusongmatsing7596]

As a solo player with only 55% winrate. Sun is the only hero that gave me 70% with 400 plus matches. This is my cheat code if I am in a losing streak.

[@ling_reacts]

I always played him tank. He always was op in this bild, but noone played him. Now everyone will play him, they will ban him, they will nerf him. I hoped it will never end like this.

[@caoinismyname]

Even before the Thunderbelt revamp, I would use Tank or Semi-tank Sun with core items of Thunderbelt and Crused Helm. It gave decent win rate and most of all... The fun of trolling. XD

[@pot_of_greed2414]

It's always a good day when off meta heroes don't be in the lime lights for getting nerfed as the cycle of life is futile 😁

[@thatguywithoutadoubt]

I think RGM will work PERFECTLY WELL for him now. His clones can also get RGM's shield, meaning the clones can survive LITERALLY BURST ATTACKS MIRACULOUSLY.

[@edwardchhangte3899]

minisi counters like a third of all heroes

[@randomraindrop-]

wait is this why I keep seeing Sun pop up in my games? I haven't really noticed much of a difference myself though... maybe because all my heroes have aoe skills, so he ends up being left alone more often than not?

[@akujileah9861]

Dyroth counters him so bad right now though. Literally one trigger of Dyroths passive when surrounded by sun and sun's clones heals Dyroth back to full HP.

[@omkarchauhan4961]

Fucking anti heal he is shit anti heals taps

Not unexpected for me he was feeling pretty strong and annoying in ranked matches. On the other hand argus mains getting wrecked in exp lane now even in later stages of the game

[@alfaeflores4757]

Me either, I was even flabbergasted when I saw him in the top picks in mythic rank in January 1 update

[@jeddvillaspin3379]

He will get wrecked soon with the upgraded cursed helmet thing.

[@MHAOvercharged]

Its the same as 3 years ago when they revamped him by giving a dash skill. This is basically a long time buff all sun hser been waiting

[@m1ngtzy]

it got pick on snapdragon tourna so..

[@yengchai]

Full built Hanabi can chipped his clone like tofu. Not sure if Balmond is a counter as well, since his helicopter skill can easily sustained the dmg from the clone.

[@MHAOvercharged]

Depends how fast Balmond can heal from it. So far Demon and Dominance could do he trick

[@flumboContent]

Depends on users hanabi isn't a problem

[@wolfph3911]

my problem back then on SUn is its hard to Escape if enemy knows how to block ur 1st/2nd skill escape and go in front of u just to block the path but now Sun is hard to catch now,, the 2nd is his early game problem but now bcos of the buff faster Stack + his 3rd skill slow+ damage,

What emblem would you recommend for the new sun build?

[@navdh3903]

Try assassin with 2 pen and 1 boots that heal u and increase ur speed. Also try building croson, wind, helbrd and endless battle.

[@ETHANLOHYULEMoe]

Question can this meta sub be jungler or he is still preferred as exp laner?

[@cantgame4now152]

I've seen a lot of sun jungle so, possibly that too

Jungle is better , he is a food to other exp laners in early

Any information on Sun upcoming skin brother?

[@BoldNiWallyGold]

I bought Sun last last season before the season ends and he was the last hero I bought from the shop and he was also the one who gave me a 10 game winstreak to get mythical honor which is crazy, now I have 106 matches with a 70% winrate for my build i use full attack speed build on him in exp lane -Swift Boots -Corrosion Scythe -Windtalker -Golden Staff -Demon Hunter Sword -Sea Halberd For the Emblem Assassin with Swift Fatal or wilderness blessing (it depends on you) and War Cry hope you guys like the build:)

😂😂😂

[@纪文龙-i7q]

Any AOE high damage heroes still his counter, especially the buffed dyroth, sun clones means legit 8% hp heal on passive, Sun+sun 2 clones = 24% heal. Thought of heal reduction? Still remember the last hero with these heal stat? Does Arlott stop by these healing reduction before he was nerfed from 8% hp to basic attack based now?

[@redrose9330]

Have you seen Esme sucking all of the shield even at the clones? Or Yu Zhong having unli heal from the clones? Man u gotta try em when against him

[@纪文龙-i7q]

@redrose9330 that what I talking about, basically any heroes with huge AOE range and damage with crazy sustain could zone Sun out.

[@suryanshyadav289]

Bro i recommend no boots and go agility with assassin emblem corrison thunderbelt windstalker dhs rose gold at last endless or dominion ice as required you will have 350 speed

[@spammonke7018]

Correction, they didn't add the slow effect on the 3rd skill, initially, they brought it back becuase after sun got revamped they removed it

[@Smallpriest]

Sun is literally that 5v1 meme You know what im talking about

[@anthonychappell5992]

What about the emblems???

[@rinzu3188]

badang is the op one right now because of thunder belt

[@Chakadal2323]

Alot is not covered why he is meta: Clones basic atk can help stack the thunderbelt Concursive blast can have tripled/ doubled explusion if timed well Sun has 3 escape and purify skills (ult, 1st and 2nd skill if timed up well) not withstanding that it now has longer range and can now pass through with low cd Clones is often the first target for burst untargeted one shot skill Downback Free gold for clones kill Easy stack for lifesteal Clones are kitable if opponents have dashes Very weak laning phase

[@srvmmultimedia3552]

I've been seeing a lot of Sun lately in my ranked, so I bring out my ol' reliable Silvanna to fix the job

[@minix7895]

is it okay in first pick?

Elgin 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋 Sun 3clon❌ Sun 5clon✅ 👍🙏👍👏

[@justwyoung]

as an esme main, she was the og sun counter and i would always pick her when the enemy picked sun but now even esme cannot handle sun, even with def esme or full magic burst esme cannot handle sun anymore :((

[@jivraj2110]

I definitely thought it wasn't just me when I saw esme felt weaker and weaker against most heroes. Like esme genuinely peaks only in early game nowadays. After level 7 or 8, she gets shredded. She used to be able to handle attack speed fighters, tanky fighters and sustain fighters really well but now she gets bursted easily and her sustain which is the majority of her kit is probably the weakest among exp laners rn. It all went downhill for her when all defense items got nerfed hard in that one update while penetration items got better.

[@ninoangelosagum613]

I can already see him get nerf, i think it would be his heal and slow

[@dragushcobaj4121]

Pick faramis or badang and its gg. As mm i prefer melissa but keep ult just for him

[@riko.6980]

Sorry to burst your bubble but no one will just for an offlane counter

[@dragushcobaj4121]

@ you mean adjust? Well that is the solo q experience ig, but all the times i ve faced sun i just go mid faramis and stick to my duo adc (hes global lesley) and we just win.

[@genshinislife5432]

I troll pick sun jungle (S1 ) cause no one req when solo q Turn out he good but peak as exp lane For full Sq, sun gold better or on par with Freya gold lane

[@Vance_ytube]

He is still a food against many exp laners, (Ruby, Silvanna, Dyrroth, Yu Zhong, Cici, Minsitthar, Khaleed) GOD! TOO MANY OF THEM THAT YOU CANT EVEN HAVE A SAFE PICK WHEN USING SUN.

[@navdh3903]

Yeah but he is only weak against them in early except minsi and thamuz. Otherwise u have to 2 v 1 against him.

[@Vance_ytube]

@navdh3903 weak in early meaning he cant defend his lane, cant split push, cant contribute in early team fights. And dont forget his F*cking Clones feed the enemies with sh*ts of Golds, 25 gold per clone over a minute is almost half the item costs.

[@anupomgoswami9829]

What's the point of taking crit when u don't give him the main crit? That build u just show lack a lot of damage,it completely depends on you start good or not

[@jivraj2110]

Time for me to spam silvanna in rank now. She's just too good against sun. His clones feeds her gold and exp early game. She shreds his clones way too fast and her stun ensures that sun dies before doing anything. Either sun uses purify when she uses her s1 or her ult. At the end, he'll still get drilled to death unless sun builds magic defense early on. Then silvanna gonna have to play smartly because her CD are pretty long. As long as you feed off his clones in early game, you definitely will farm extremely fast and prevent him from building his items. The only real issue is sun with petrify. Then you're dead.

[@ToshikawaConan]
