Overrated characters and underrated characters [CLOSED]

Sonic Boom / Medea Griffin a pretty good path, but especially in PvP. The thing about it is that the babies are kind of rubbish. What ACTUALLY makes that path good is the damage done by the eggs themselves when you throw them to summon the babies! By abusing this attack in PvP, Sonic Boom's damage output is actually really high, certainly higher in PvP than on the Siren Griffin Path.
In PvE, Siren Griffin is probably better, though.

The thing that makes Cynder / Nether Wielder so good is that the lightning attack has an absurdly large hit range at a certain distance, that it lets Cynder attack opponents through walls and up elevations. This factor makes the attack so useful that it completely makes up for how little damage it does:
It can sometimes be impossible to hide from Cynder, seriously! The attack reaches too wide at certain distances to dodge by moving sideways, getting behind a wall is useless because the attack goes through walls, running away is tricky because Cynder's Shadow Dash is good at closing distances, and getting in Cynder's face where the lightning has less spread is also tricky because Cynder can shadow dash away. The Shadow Dash also makes Cynder herself hard to hit, because abusing the attack after a bit of practice with controlling it can allow you to dance all around the opponent's position with them barely getting a chance to hit you.

I'd be interested to hear what people mean when they say Ignitor is overrated, unless they're talking about PvE as well as PvP of course, in which case I'd understand.
Ignitor is a little crap in PvE, but in PvP he is the single most overpowered character in the game, hands down. People who try to disagree with this are people who have only seen or used him on his Blademaster upgrade path (or a badly-utilised Soul of the Flame path). All you have to do is learn the proper way to use Soul of the Flame, and things become clear.
(Hopefully most people know what I mean when I say "the proper way to use Soul of the Flame". If people don't then give me a shout and I'll explain it again.)

You said that twice, we get the point. And Spyro overrated in this game? Hardly anyone likes Spyro, especially the selfish older Spyro fans.


Wait what?

When has this been the case? And how are they selfish for not liking a character?

I didn't say they are selfish for not liking Spyro in this game, they were selfish for an entirely different reason.

Spyro's redesign in Skylanders is widely hated by many of the older Spyro fans, wishing that he keeps either his classic carnation or his legend carnation. Alot of the fans even hate the whole franchise solely because of Spyro's redesign without even bother trying the game, stating that Spyro is "dead" because Skylanders (even though its a Spinoff, and not a main series game).

Months before the game was released, many of them were super angry when they saw the trailers because of:

1. Spyro's ugly new look.
2. The abscence of some of the popular characters from the previous games, like Hunter the Cheetah.
3. The idea of using toys for a video game.

The older fans sent angry letters, hate mail, and even death threats to Activision and Toys ofr Bob in hopes of getting them to cancel the game. THAT'S Why they were selfish.

^ I agree that Ignitor is overrated, but not Cynder. And Drill Sergeant is underrated also.
I think that Gill Grunt and Flameslinger are overrated also.

^ Gill Grunt? Hardly anybody likes smilie, he's far from overrated. I agree with Flameslinger and Cynder though.

Besides me, does anyone else here like smilie? Anybody? Anybody?

As for Ignitor, I will be the judge of that (got him today, but haven't tried him yet).

The TLOS fans were bad, too, if not worse. They also sent angry letters, etc to Activison and hated everything about the game until Cynder was put it and even then they wanted the TLOS series to continue and SpyroxCynder to be canon.

Also no one's said smilie's underrated, therefore, he must be the ultimate underrated 'lander.

As for overrated, I say all the dragons except smilie. I'm sure there's more, but most people've already said them.

ehm? which aspect? the damage? fine, and they are four. the speed? good. their interruption's rate? IS ABSURD! i can't even go underground with terrafin because they interrupt me! their hp? yeah, it's low. you know, you can just press B again.
Medea Griffin is a very very strong path, Syren Griffin is a joke, only good to kill chompies and spiderlings, oh my. People who doesn't realise Medea awesomeness just haven't tried it, are blind or trolls

It kind of depends on opinion whether something is over or underrated, since it depends if you (dis)like the character and think they should get the hate/like they get. It also depends on what you've seen (for example, if you've seen a lot of hate for a character but someone else saw a lot of love for one).

That's why I think Sunburn's overrated, since I've seen a lot of love for him but don't like him much, but others think he's underrated because they see a lot of hate and/or like him.

#95 Posted: 15:02:31 20/11/2012
I like both Zap and Drill Sergeant.

Zap is awesome down Tesla Dragon! I don't like Slime Serpent much, but this path is one of the most fun projectile users in the game because of how he can just zap and throw waves from afar, or leave a running trail then ignite it. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE using his wave attacks, it just works so well with the regular shots for more power and lights up the slime trail. I actually like to throw one into the direction I'm running as I can catch up to it and instantly set the lines behind me up.
Drill Sergeant, I don't know, I just do. There's something about his running forward while making shots that gets to me. I've been playing him more and more often recently, and I like him more and more each time. He's fun to charge into enemies with, even though it isn't the most strategic things... And I think Battledozer may become one of my favorite paths with his Wow Pow added to it(the cannon was my only woe down that path as it made him far less of a "use all attacks" guy).
