Baxia's Fall from Grace: Why He's Being Picked Less in Ranked Notice: This content is created based on Moonton’s Material and complies with Derivative Content Policy, Moonton does not endorse this content.
He's still quite good as a jungler in a coordinated team. His passive is very good against regen heroes and his rotation is pretty quick too. Other than that, he's pretty inferior compared to others. There's just so many heroes that can do a better job than Baxia.
Atlas is just a better tigreal,has interrupt resist when casting ult,easy to use.While tigreal usually need flicker to do ult combo.Kinda sad cause i bought his starlight skin.
Baxia is the one that started this tank jungler meta after Moontoon introduced a revamped retribution, but unfortunately he lacks some sort of cc to either protect his allies or to make it easier to land his skills, or even as a initiation skill. Right now he is more of a situational pick, he’s really good against Esmeralda, Estes, and Kimmy, but Fredrinn, Hylos, Barats, or Akai can do much better than Baxia in most cases simply because he needs to snowball for him to be effective and a lot of team coordination
Lord High from Aura who introduced Baxia Jungler and it was a hype Pro Scene still played it (Albert, Wise), but not public like us in every server I guess.
Man, barats passive is absolutely broken early to mid due to 100 phys and magic def, being literally unkillable in a 1v3 invading enemy jungle at level 7-8 lmao. In late i have 300 magic def somehow and lategame change ult heals me, with full dmg build. I heal 2,6k with my ult THROUGH ANTIHEAL and i have like 13k hp and bloody retri that heals a lot and burns you like HELL. You are contesting turtle alone? Ult the enemy, heal up and YEET the poor bloke into the rest of his teammates, stunning them and ensuring a prolonged stun with your 2nd skill in case your team arrived, otherwise you can just go away safely right after ulting cuz they all stunned lmao.
He’s definitely better off as a jungler or exp laner, he lacks the cc and protection capabilities to be an effective roamer.. enemies would just simply ignore him and go for his backlines, as baxia can only just slow them down while having one long cd stun.. and also cuz he can only target one at a time the way his kit is built, 2 of his skills are one-target shots.. for now he’s like a situational pick designed to hard-counter healers/sustainers and continuous dmg dealers.
Compared to other flex tanks like Akai, Fredrinn, or Edith, Baxia is much more harder to use since he doesn't have any built-in regen or shield and his main dmg skill (2nd skill) is hard to hit. Having said that, he's still a great pick simoly because of his flexibility. One thing to note, ALWAYS make sure you have another CC (whether stun or slow) on your team since he can feels lacking in CC even with succesful 1st skill's hit
Tip : while rolling ...you can swipe the skill 1 in any direction and baxia will jump there and also jumping stuns the enemy longer than just hitting them ... (Many people only tap the skill and use the joystick to aim the jump) .
I think his low pick rate is due to small aoe skills. Anti-regen is always good but a tank that can't set up or stun in an area is not very good for a roamer, sure he's good as a jungler but that's about it, he's only good in exp if he's going up against esme , yz or other regen heroes
I will say its not about popularity. Its just, there are too many overpowered heroes in the current meta. Even though there are overpowered heroes are banned, there are still more left opened for both teams. I suggest it'll be better to nerf a bit for the current meta OR buff up the forgotten or heroes that couldnt stand a chance against stronger heroes
@@studenthigh8120 I see that you are dumb enough to have no reading comprehension in not understanding the context of my original comment before replying.
I've watched MPL PH Playoffs yesterday and OMG's Jungler Raizen picked Baxia, one of the shoutcasters stated that Baxia really requires snowballing in the game and avoid being get killed in the early game which that's how OMG failed because their objectives pattern has been destroyed and get owned by Blacklist easily. That does make sense because sometimes I use Baxia as Jungler but I require to know who the enemy jungler first to make sure that I'm always on top of taking objectives, for example heroes that farm slowly at the early game like Fanny, Lance and Gusion are my viable enemy jungler picks to be able to get Baxia as jungler in order to be always on top in terms of objective takings.
It doesn't matter if he's the least pick in all ranks, it makes comfortable to pick him more frequently than it used to be before when hes getting ban, Baxia can do objectives in solo's and very hard to kill. .
I think the reason is he lacks a dependable team CC skill and a big damaging skill that can secure objective. He is outclassed by the likes of Fredrinn, Martis, Akai and even Balmund in securing objectives.
he doesn't have much cc except the slow from second and ult and the knock back from his first, also his first skill is can be considered a single target stun, so you (the majority of the times) you can't stun the whole team [edit:] those are my toughts on why he isn't that popular
I dont really use Baxia as jungler or exp laner but I like him more as a roamer, to me he the best tank in the game, fast rotations (second only to johnson), stun, can slow down and deal dmg with second and third skill, he can sustain a lot and used with vengence he is almost unkillable and can go in and out of a fight quicker than any other tank (maybe hilda is a bit faster). Also is the tank I enjoy the most playing I would recomend using him in solo Q because he is a great roamer that can carry even the most difficult games (he is also a menace in the late game btw)
Problem with baxia is enemies can easily get out when he uses his ulti or even with skill 2. You can chase them still bt there's no "finishing blow" to kill an enemy so you still had to rely on teammates to assist or kill. Just like what happened in the video where aamon escaped even if he's low HP.
You have good teammates that actually sees the map and help in assist, not like my server where everyone play at their lane and when I died they reported me, so most people in my server plays as Martis who does not need any help from the team, I want try Baxia but I haven't unlocked him
He is still a viable pick if you play the Pick Off strategy instead of engaging in Team fights because if you like to engage in Team fights EXP Baxia is the way to go along with an Initiator as Roam
One thing I noticed they need changing for ultimate. It only counter counter some attack speed and slow down enemy's. But still he need some buff or adjustment him doesn't improve all skill. Also, he's still good, but unpopularity
He is still decent as a jg and against teams with strong healing (what was that -75% healing effect with antyheal?) I lastly played against decent baxia and he made our estes usless Also he is damn fast at killing turtle and jg
One problem with Baxia is how buggy his 2nd skill CD is. Sometimes the CD starts on cast, but sometimes the CD starts when the timer ends. They may have fixed it since I haven't played him for a long while, but it's one of the main reason I dislike him.
Its not a bug, the reason why the cd starts after cast is because you didn't hit a jungle or hero. Read the second skill description, it say the cd resets if you hit someone except minions.
My personal tip: Execute is the best spell when ur using baxia on roaming or exp, baxia can be great when in comes to ganking and 1v1 he doesn't need spell vamp nor vengeance to last longer you'll just have to relly on ur 2st skill,passive, and ult but if u are using vengeance they're are cases that low hp hero's will escape so its best if its execute so u can chase n secure ur kill u can also use it to lower ur enemys hp by 40 to 20% so your team can kill it Edit: I started using execute on him because i got tired of watching my enemys run away with 10% hp after an intense 1v1
Baixa passive needs a buff, cause in late gamd its useless. Maybe like reducing final damage by 25-40 scaling with level. Also his skills have a very high cooldown, also his skill 1 stun damage should be an area one
Baxia's low pick rate maybe is because of the buffs on items and heroes and it got to do with damage based on maximum hp, I don't know maybe that thrown Baxia in the current meta im not sure
A useful tank but enough cc skills. Once you miss your skill 1 then you will rely now on your team mates.Skill 2 is good if you are good at aiming at the enemy but if they are agile it will be hard for baxia to spam that skill.
Hes pretty useful still.Really good against heroes that rely a lot on regen.Pair him up with dominance and they will get 100% anti heal.and best counter to hero that does tick damage due tp his damage reduction..Literally in the early game.Kimmy is only doing 14 damage per hit.And it took forever for her to kill him.
Add radiant armor and blade armor (I've seen some Kimmy players use berserker's fury for some reason) to Baxia and Kimmy would be crying for the entire game.
@@AlveousXD They add berserkers fury because kimmy's first skill still counts as a basic attack so it can still crit.Combine with kimmy's fast attacks.She can get more crits than regular mm's with crit build.
I have a question and that is Is there a limit to upgrade starlight lavel on a week because i can't able to upgrade starlight lavel after reaching lavel 30
As a Mathilda user, since her nerf, i never played her for almost 2 seasons. Sadly she's one of the least pick hero. Before she wss the most banned but also the most pick hero.
baxia is that type of hero that you can't use in solo game. he need a teammate to gank some enemies and dealing high damage to a sustain enemies. in Indo server, many players tend to scared of Estes for some reason. with baxia, you can be pretty much counter the whole purpose of having estes in their team, which is healing.
There are way better tanks that can CC longer and wreck havoc compared to him. Baxia isn't bad, he's just overwhelmed by way better tanks. Either they increase the stun duration of his 1st skill or give him some sort of regen or shield if they want him to be picked more.
Personally Baxia, even though a tank can't withstand huge damage in the late game. There are so many times where I died in a short amount of time even in full build.
I think why he's unpopular because his passive (the one that reduce damage) only counters few heroes. He can counter pick Harley,gusion, aamon, chang'e but not the high damaging ones
For some reason, Elgin didn't build dominance ice since dominance ice can stack with baxia's life drain up to 75% instead of 50% normal life drain even oracle can't recounter it,Also it reduce atk speed.
He didn't buy it because he doesn't need it, he already have a built in 50% antiheal he doesn't need more cause the enemies are not heavy sustain anyway. Its better to build other items than dominance
I've used him 5 timee as a jungler this season so far but lost 4 of em. It seems he lacks damage even when I'd bought 2 magic power items and cursed helmet
you shouldnt bought magic item for him, if you are in snowballing situation, just get 1 magic item which is ice queen wand to increase the slow effect, but preferably all tank build
Fun fact: It's actually faster to travel with his first skill if you keep jumping(it also has longer stun duration if you jump on the target but everyone knows that already)
They need to revamp baxia. I think changing skill 2 to have other cc... Yes skill 1 has stun but has a long cooldown. Once you accidentally hit a minion that will be bad
Bruh.... I play ranked all the way to mythical glory last season and have never seen baxia picked even once.. really sad because i used to play him a lot before. I guess people prefer more meta heroes now😢
