Being outnumbered with your 108 gear can be fun as long as you know what you're doing. Even blues with revenge stats will actually do pretty well.

Alright so I know I spent the entire video basically encouraging the use of this stat but I'd like to quickly mention that I think the revenge stats need some serious attention. As it is, in a 1v1 scenario where neither 108 geared players have been hit previously, when one or the other reaches low health they'll usually have gotten enough points for a revenge. Which means regardless of their skill level they can make a ridiculous comeback and even if you're careful with it there are some classes, like for example Warlords, who aren't balanced for revenge and will wreck you with one headbutt (their headbutts are notoriously hard to see coming and hard to dodge, and even if you dodge it, they can grab you and throw you against a wall or off a cliff, effectively it's a warlord vortex) 

Charges with revenge can throw you on the ground and insta-kill you in a split second. It's neither fair or fun and I can't pretend that the game will ever be fair, but getting completely blinsided by a revenge headbutt isn't fun in the least. (It's even worst in a gank situation)

If there was an entire team of warlords with 108 gear doing this they would be very very hard to beat, they'd actually be bordering on broken, and I don't use the word 'broken' lightly. 

And its not just warlords. In the top bracket currently the revenge meta is crazy overpowered. Matches can be incredibly one sided and its mostly due to the revenge gain stats. But I don't think revenge itself is broken. Maybe it needs a little work but I think the gear stats specifically needs some tweaking. It might even help matchmaking if it receives a nerf since currently another huge complaint against this game is how one sided the matchups can be. 

Also ubi pls if by god's will you somehow shipwrecked on this channel pls heed these words carefully, you need to take a second look at the peacekeeper. I know I've said previously that there might be nothing wrong with them but I've quickly changed my mind. In 1v1 every move of theirs is so safe that its damn near impossible to catch them if they're good, but thats honestly not the biggest concern. They were clearly not balanced for 4v4. A pisscrapper with sharpen blade and revenge gear is the most bullshit thing I've seen in this game so far.

So what's next in the video lineup? I'm likely going to post a video on brawl honor next, then maybe a salt compilation. We've encountered some people who literally type out essays in the game which is always a fun read. Broken ass games produce the best salt imo.
