NAMOR is legit garbage without team up..

[Koba]

No hero should be like that.

Edit: Diamond level.

[Ginzo Force]

namor is the definition of damage for damage sake, everyone says he's great vs the dive, unless of course the dive targets you then you're dead instantly if you don't use your evasion, then you're dead as it wears off or you hit the perfect shots

I mained him for a while but he isn't enough of a playmaker for my tastes you basically play a passive role in the game, the squids aren't like an engineer sentry gun where it's placement is game changing, it's just meh, plop them down

I play Namor a lot and even without team up, he is a great hero. One of my favorites.

[Mellanie94]

then maybe its not your character. i play namor just fine. and i dont expect my team mates to heal me. i search for my own hp package and place my squits smart so that they dont die that fast. :) his shield is one of the best thing to dodge almost everything even the most ultimates.

He literally gains almost 100% turret uptime with team up... he is borderline a throw without team up.

With team up he can nearly have two turrets up permanently.

IMO he's not "garbage" without it but he certainly jumps up a tier or so when the team-up is available.

Luckily the team-up is with arguably the best character in the game so it's not that hard to get it.

Sure the team up with Luna is super strong, one of the best team ups in the entire game. But without it does not make him a throw, just more situational than before. Namor is one of the strongest DPS in the game (and I don't mean just damage output).

Thats the problem as well, you would think Luna is an auto supp pick... NOOO game's full of Loki's and Rockets together....

Definitely not remotely true.

[Shoryukenfan]

Attacking people because they do not agree with you makes you look like one, not him.

I could be wrong but it seems like Namor is one of those characters that just gets less useful the higher you climb in rank. By the time you get to like high Silver people have figured out the trick and target your squids instantly. If you're reduced to trident chucking from the midfield. then why not just play Squirrel Girl at that point and get a lot more bang for your buck?

Namor is strong in the right hands.

It's pretty simple honestly. When I engage someone, I throw a squid, then I immediately begin unloading spears in their face.

If they attack the squid first, they're not attacking me, and I just spend that time shooting them in the face.

If they attack me and not the squid, the squid adds a bunch of extra damage.

It's also worth noting that most divers actually lack the tools to kill the squids effectively.

Here's a good clip from yesterday of this in action. Should Ironfist have instead punched the squids? He would have died either way most likely.

His shield is also a godlike tool, since it makes him totally invincible instantly and gives healers a ton of time to get you back to full, it gives him much better sustain than almost all other DPS characters. He's considered high tier at basically every rank for a reason.

As for Squirrel Girl, her DPS is a little lower (she can't headshot) and she lacks the shield. Her Ult is way better than Namor's though, Namor's Ult is definitely the weak spot in his kit.

That's true for all the characters but its more (or less) true for some. For example, even a half a** decent Winter Soldier can be an absolute migraine to deal with. I'm sure there are Namor mains out there working miracles but I'm not one of them and I don't know if I've ever met one. I hear "AGAIN" in my sleep. I've never once felt terrorized by squids and whales.

I mean he is not easy to master.

You can't really qualify a statement by saying Diamond either.

At this point in the game, keep in mind that you gain more rank than lose in this game: Plat = Bronze with a lot of time, Diamond = Silver with a lot of time, GM = Gold with a lot of time.

At this point only HIGH GM or Celestial and above have any level of serious skill or talent or at least a mechanical understanding.

Also I'm not giving you clown points you're not worth it.

I mean if that was true then I'm way above you, GM and two Diamond accounts.
