Tiberius: The Forgotten DPS (Paladins)

[@jesterjaded73]

Tib is actually one of my favorite damages to play, specifically because of how the ricochet works. Intentionally landing a cluster of combat trance ricochet shots is so damn satisfying. Cheesy, but satisfying.

[@Yomush]

There's so many cheesy tactics in this game that i'd say being killed with a ricochet from Tiber is the least of our worries right now. It makes him stand out from the rest a bit

[@TheArcanePengu]

Great video, I main Tiberius and feel he deserves a little more love

[@B0rnT0L05e]

Tibby is the man.

[@cwvowel]

Not a tib main but he is certainly my favorite dmg. Just as you say in the video, he is mostly balanced. Good dmg, good anti flank, solid overall kit. He could still use a few minor buffs to a few cards, his movement leap a bit faster and that's about it. I would love a card or talent that decreases the CD of tigron leap for each blade hit similar to that one Maeve card.

[@Iamslay09]

I am a proud Tiberius Main and I think people just sleep on his mobility build which gives him a great advantage in open areas or wide maps. His movement can be clunky sometimes but when u are playing him a while u will eventually get used to it

[@bigcsbigbrother3685]

Exactly. Mobility build is literally the way to go. But this is coming from a viscoous assault main as well tho lol

[@awoooga5857]

I tried it but I just can't get used to his mobility. I wish he had more air control.

[@claymeistereu]

Could he get some Caspian treatment i wonder? He also had his mobility be very clunky, but tbf, he is a closer range flank, not a backline damage champ.

[@Iamslay09]

Tib always slouches in his fighting form making him look shorter but when he stands straight, he’s his actual height of 6’4”.

[@abdulmajeedhallak1688]

7:25 dude this was awesome

[@luciusmorgan-gt8hn]

It’s funny, I just recently played Tiberius after literal years of not touching him! I was surprised when I got top damage and kills and got some very good value from his ult. I feel like he has good damage, a decent ult for stalling, and pretty decent cards and is overall a fun character to play

[@silraerthelost6762]

Sharing my thoughts as a former Tiberius main who has been sticking with flanks lately, 8:10 - Predatory Instincts (aka double bounce chak talent) was weirdly popular for a few weeks after dawnforge was introduced I feel like the main reason Tib isn't very popular is because while his kit isn't bad, it feels clunky. His jump feels like Bucks leap, but slow, telegraphed, and unresponsive. His sword reactivation tends to just interrupt your reload at the worst time, and his effectiveness is almost completely tied to his trance uptime, which is at the weird cooldown window where Chronos isn't very effective, and his one cd reduction card is unreliable to proc. I feel like most people picking him up to learn, mostly do so just to meme about his ult gen, before realizing that you get No DR, no CC protection, and long, telegraphed animations for only decent damage. And sadly, almost all of his skins aren't available. The Oni skins don't even show up in his skin list if you missed that battlepass, I only learned about them for the first time on the pts. Lifeguard is a meme, the leopard print one is just sad, and so the only good ones displayed are Nightstalker, which is permanently locked and only shown in order to torture us, and his Gold skin, which hardly anyone survives the grind for. So goes to say, I wholeheartedly agree, Tiberius needs some love, same with the other older champions like Corvus, Imani, and Willow.

[@marcroeffen4701]

Tib needs a actual first talent and aside of that just some extra love from the community. As mentioned he is perfectly balanced and can be a lot of fun.

That first talent should also give additional bonus damage for reach ricochet you do, that way 2 more ricochets would make much more sense, and that talent will be very useful on maps with a lot of walls. Everything else is pretty nice on him

[@ChunkyRacc]

I'm a tiberius main. He's my favorite character in the game by far, but I just don't play paladins often anymore

[@chastokol9879]

I main Tiberius! Hopium for first talent rework and more air control for F as you said, haha! Also the thing about style you said is so true, i mainly play him because he is cool in every way, gameplay or character 😅 And dont even get me started on how badass I feel when I get overtime touch by ulting through the sky down on 5 enemies using RMB

[@justinepaulcordovilla5852]

Andreeeeew!! You should use his heavy blade more! Hahaha Im a Tiberius Main! His only problem is the short locks between his skills, like how it takes some time to channel the jump, or the in betweens of the charges of the ult. I guess they could buff the ult by giving him dr when landing after a whirling blade so he doesnt instantly die, idk i want him to be cc immune during some parts of the ult but i guess that would be too broken for my liking. In his current state though, his ult's best utility is not to damage but to use one-two charges of the ult so u can fly and reposition, then cancel to keep some ult charges. Also, the best thing about tiberius is his heavy blade, being such a nice combo after jumping or throwing main fire, and i never have to worry about andro reversal or tank's shields. So good.

[@z.Riyad.51]

some immunity in his and ult and fast usage his jump would make him better balanced

[@starpower1884]

[@Makkushimu]

Tibby main here. Wish pounce had some other effects, like a bit more air control and a quasi float mechanic ala Devil May Cry from shooting. First talent should be reworked into a mini ult, eg. a sword stance. Strictly melee.

[@henriqueraimundodrummond6787]

Love your videos. thank you

[@Richter8]

😮 oh my goodness, that Drogoz kill over the void. Chefs kiss

[@angelicgroove]

Am i the only one then that has a tiberius in his team every 5 games, cause he's certainly not forgotten for me.

[@claymeistereu]

I def made you play tib recently, sparked by some paladinsguru stats saying you haven't played him in months!

[@Matfullgames]

The main problem with him is that all of his skill are super clunky. Jump takes a century to go off and has absolutely no air control; main fire has a weird feeling when not using his Q and the reload cannot be interrupted by using other skils, which means that if you run out of Ammo when fighting someone, you can't even throw your sword to finish them off until the reload ends, if you are on high ping it can sometimes deal only the rebound damage even with direct hits; His sword also bugs out from time to time and keeps you stuck on the recall animation; Ultimate doesn't apply caut and doesn't have enough damage to kill someone fast enough while also putting you directly in line of fire since you have to get close, most of the time you will use to escape instead of dealing damage. Overall he is a good character with good damage output and can be really good on some maps, like Ice mines, but is held back by these issues.

[@whickybradfrads9673]

As a Tibs main I enjoy playing him. I would agree that his mobility skill could definitely be better with less start up lag. If I could change the first talent, maybe some life steal With maybe a 7-3 cooldown on his combant trance, increasing his damage out put. (Combat trance is a 14 sec cooldown!) But in the end of the day, he pretty good like you said! Just wish a few things were changed!

[@huz7531]

Tib is like hyper balanced tbh thing is he doesn't have the coolest kit so he flys low, they probably could add the bounce talent to his base kit and make a new talent and that would be fine

[@blackkid128]

That’s exactly what they did in the newest update. You got it spot on 👍🏾

[@antroneny]

I like this type of videos

[@paulieodrumgod]

Predatory Instinct Should be in basekit (2 addition Chakram bounces) and replaced with an ult buff, like additional effects when he hits with dash.(300 shield per hit)

[@jesterjaded73]

Having his ult cripple and / or silence would be interesting

[@ren8436]

If they make a talent so that his ult hits deal AoE damage to every target hit instead, I think that may give more damage potential to his ult and make it less of a mobility only tool

[@marquisepixley684]

he is one of my favorites champions

[@B0rnT0L05e]

I like vicious assault for the 2 movements and also because I use the alt fire card that cools down on hits with it

[@AnthonyAlexzander]

Drogoz kill needs to be a short so I can rewatch it 200 times lol

[@anothergamingyoutuber]

honestly I hope they don't rework the ulti or the dash, he's fine the way he is. The talent rework makes sense tho. I treat tibe ulti like a zhin ulti; either use it to confirm a kill in a 1v1 or use it for movement. And with how fast he gets his ult, the movement potential is so nice. He's honestly in a perfect state rn. He's the Maldamba of the dmg class. Other characters are just better, but if you main him, it's rewarding.

[@jafsrob]

making it so that instead of (or aswell) as giving more bounces, making it so you gain damage which each bounce instead of losing damage with each bounce might be interesting

[@BRNAMO]

I love to play with Tiberius. The chakra ability is a good solution against flanks. The real problem is snippers.

[@abokix]

i just wish his ult was the highlight of his kit. if it was reminiscent of genji's nanoblade i think he'd get more attention if that was the case

[@tsuviii]

i think they should make his projectiles be able to bounce between enemies like grohk, exept do like 200 less damage each hit

[@cynthiahunt4661]

I can't go two games without seeing a Tiberius top the leaderboard

[@abdulmajeedhallak1688]

Tib needs a 50% increase animation for his movement ability and reduced lock time between his ult usages and he will be in a much better position

[@bigcsbigbrother3685]

AGREED. Wouldnt even have to be a 50% reduction either. But the way it is now is abysmal

I have a Tiberius load out. I like to call it "The Sniber Tiber." It's really just a chakram spam load out, but I use predatory instincts, and it's a lot of fun. (Disclaimer: I'm not a pro!)

[@ashzerodude]

Just make him jump like Buck and he'd be 85% better. I usually use his extra bounce talent because the sword throw I use for cool down reduction so I enjoy throwing it through groups of people vs at the floor or walls and his other talent? Is just extra wind up jumps? So I don't touch that. Just make his first talent three charges of a stronger ult and improve his jumps and it should be a world of more fun

[@thepurplehound]

Definitely not forgotten in SEA servers

[@stonii8385]

The ricochet talent would be a lot better if the geometry on the maps where a bit more precise, right now the way his weapon bounces just isnt reliable enough. Also a dmg increase each bounce would be cool.

[@FallenFromGlory]

[@mikehawk1856]

I absolutely LOVE Tiberious and I’d say he’s fine as he is except he suffers the Azaan treatment where he has one good(needed) talent, one meh talent and a bad/unnecessary talent. 2nd talent should be in base but that’s just my opinion

[@grimreaper5264]

2nd talent ruins the characterz the exploding sword is worthless. Also, Predatory Instincts is not bad

[@mikehawk1856]

@@grimreaper5264??? The Explosion is faster than recalling it and it’s a AoE. The first talent is like having Eternal with Azaan, sure you can have uptime with DR and AoE shits but it’s not worth the lost dmg. The difference is that with Tiberius it doesn’t really help him, sure you might hit someone but it’s kinda useless when you have a 2nd talent

[@elmercy4968]

The problem is his ult. If the other team got Torvald for example, the ult is useless. This makes him situational, since other damage champs have good ults. If his ult isn't countered he is fine. Like in this match. I wouldn't say he is balanced. Since other damage champs are not situational.

[@bigcsbigbrother3685]

This is long but hear me out LOL. I look at tib as more of a "damage support. Its not easy to secure kills from even mid distance, but his combat trance makes it so he can soften up a whole crowd with random spam. But after that, he has no "push power nor keep away" power, which is where other damages come in with their continuous uptime in damage, which he works well with, hence a damage "support." Tib is a "catch up character." Hes always catching up in damage. He does often have top damage in the lobby, but the games always feel like a struggle if hes the only damage lol. And it all comes down to core parts of his kit not being able to be utilized often. The bounces are a HUUUUUGE part of his kit, but the way the walls in the majority of maps are, you cant make the bounces go where you want them to. He'd honestly need a nerf in damage if every wall was reliable tho so idk, it just sucks not being able to comfirm kills from such a stylish ability. Dont even get me started on his jump/mobility.

[@cynicalnightmare1108]

I think a fair change for his first talent (the extra bounces on chakrams) would be to add extra damage to the shots per bounce (I have either 100 or 125 in mind, but that could be changed.) It would allow players to actually have a reason to go for bounce shots, plus makes Tib pretty dangerous when you're in tight spaces

[@yabbadabbindude]

They need to make his ult CC immune, at least then he'd have guaranteed value. His talents are meh and his cards are meh outside of the ones that give him bonus ult charge. Also his reload is way too long, I know it's a pretty animation that evil mojo made but damn
