The TRUTH About Axe...

There has been lots of propaganda going around regarding axe and it's state of balance. To ensure these lies aren't spread any more, I have come to give the truth about axe, and the reasons that it's currently a broken weapon.

I absolutely hate Axe, it's impossible to get on stage once you're hit, they can just release a circle of spinning death.

axe is weak against bow, gauntlets, orb, sword, katars and scythe. Basically just switch to the next weapon instead of trying to fight them with that.

[@zviavia8518]

"Players are boosted from the same op weapons (in diamond)" Not really, it's also just meta bias, there is more content on how to be a good Mordex/Teros then there is for say Vector, there is in essence a higher skill ceiling because more tech was discovered with "meta" legends, thus repeating the loop. Orb and cannon are good examples of weapons that basically have no pros ever play them so there is no footage of them doing good, and people don't know good combos with them.

[@TrippedUp]

I disagree. Playrates don’t lie when it shows that a lot of players (even in diamond) play the same couple of weapons. The skill ceiling is not created just because people play the weapon, it’s made by the design of the weapon itself. Also, orb and cannon used to have a lot of people playing them. Sandstorm used to go crazy on cannon back in the day, and orb was used pretty frequently too. Although people don’t play those weapons much now, there is plenty of footage of them doing good. Even now, players like Raydish (orb main) and DarkNova (cannon main) are pros who do well with these weapons.

[@CaptainDoctorMan]

I'll be a psuedo axe defender and say although axe is in a great spot right now, I don't agree with all of your points. You highlight axe as being THE most broken weapon, but for all of your points made through statistics, gauntlet was even or worse in usage, win rate, etc. it would mean that gauntlet would be the priority item that's op and not Axe, right? The problem is not necessarily that Axe is op, but probably that the weapons that can do well into axe are underpowered, or altenrtives to Axe are underpowered. Axe is probably the most OP heavy weapon, but that's also because other heavy weapons aren't great, or specialise too much in 1 area of play. For example, if you had a new champ with battle boots, which heavy weapon would you pair it with? Axe, obviously, but is that because Axe is the best or is it because all the other heavy weapons are kind of mid. It's the same with light weapons, the gauntlets are the best, and you'd rather have them with a heavy pairing. They should buff the weaker weapons first, and then try and look at axe IMO, but I know people just get cranky and call for nerfs no matter what.

[@TrippedUp]

Thanks for the comment, but there’s a few things I’d like to clear up. First, not all of my points were made through statistics. My first section went over the moveset and explained what made it so overpowered. I will admit that statistics were a large backbone to my video, but they cannot be the only thing that’s looked at. That’s why I started with the weapon itself and then used statistics to support it. Gauntlets are in a strange spot. While I agree that they often do have a very high usage rate, and I do believe them to be a great weapon, they’re often used as a secondary. Many pro players that use the gauntlets will prefer to use their other weapon over the gaunts, and damage statistics in tournament sets often reflect this. So while I get what you’re saying, gauntlets are a bit of a special case. There is no such thing as heavy weapons in all reality, there’s just string and non-string. The frame data of weapons like axe and hammer do not show anything “heavy” about these weapons. As I said in the video, axe nlight and dlight have barely any startup frames, and hammer’s side light, dlight, nair, and recovery are all very quick too. So I disagree with grouping weapons together as “heavy” and then comparing them as such. Lastly, buffing weapons is the last thing we need. There are many weapons in the game right now that are way overtuned, which are axe, katars, spear, and a few others in my opinion. I think a massive patch of nerfs for many weapons would be best for the game, but that’s just my opinion. Anyways, I appreciate you taking the time to leave your thoughts 😁
