I don’t use him and I despise people that do, just to get that one out there.
Remove your bias for a moment and just look at the bigger picture. The unevolved version has three different attacks and the evolved version has four. No other card in the game has four attacks. For free. Land aoe, standard aoe, jump aoe, and a push back swipe.
I see arguments all the time for him being easy to kite, and how he isn’t an attacking card. Well, im here to tell you, not only is he an attacking card, he is the most attacking card in the game. Factually, he has the most attacks. He is the most attacking card.
He’s a champion disguised as a legendary. His attacks should cost mana. Champions and hero’s abilities all do, and his should as well.
Whether you can kite him or not, that doesn’t change the fact that he’s an attacking card, and he’s used as an attacker. You might hard counter him and good for you if so, and he might be a “defensive” card, but any card with that much health dealing that much damage can be used defensively and offensively and it’s beyond stupid to believe he’s only defensive.
At this point, he IS a win con. Whether that bends your definition of a win or not I really couldn’t give a monkeys. He IS and people use him in place of an RG, or a Pekka, or whatever other wincon tank there is.
I think we all need to collectively get over this crazy opinion that he isn’t a win con and he’s only used defensively. His push back should cost mana every time he uses it and it should have a recharge.
Sincerely, annoyed person, f the MK.
