BUFFED ATLAS CAN EASILY BULLY YOUR ENEMIES! 

The fleeting time also suit atlas more because of 600hp, to answer your question about pick rate, Atlas passive (increase phy and magic defense have been nerf a lot 2 years ago patch note 1.7.30 because he's too popular compare to other tanks). The Ultimate's stun duration also changed > into passive freeze.

Simple answer, atlas sucks in solo q below immo

One word, purify. In rank above mythic they all bring purify for atlas and it doesn't help much that the cd for purify is close to atlas ult cd so unless you bring fleeting time, pray. -Atlas player (was)

0:01 It feels so good when your team gets the first blood before the enemy team does lol

One of Atlas's most important kit is his 2nd, but it has long cd which starts after the skill is done. For a buff i think they could make the initial cd longer but starts when the skill is cast.

(Most) setter tanks are just not suitable for soloq players (assuming most of ML players are solo), especially in lower ranks.. You could get the most epic moments, like catching all 5 of your enemies with your cc, but if none of your teammates are there to do the cleanup, then.. 🤷 And if you do decide to 'guard' someone the entire game, just hope that person know what they're doing. Edit: I'm not an Atlas or roam main, so feel free to share your thoights in reply 🙈

The problem with Atlas is with his passive. They gotta crank the numbers up again to pre-nerf. The reason Atlas was very scary before because he was roaming alot faster than Tigreal & Khufra while having decent defense uptime since it's in his passive. If they raise it up abit more it would be perfect since a good Atlas player knows how to get 100% passive uptime.

as an atlas main reasons why atlas can still struggle because of mainly hayabusa and hanabi, mainly anti cc heroes. It really just become a problem if the enemy have 2 or 3 of them in the team not to mention in soloq allies just picks late game oriented heroes where when you set in the early to mid game it isnt garanteed to kill even one enemy

I used to play atlas, I don’t use it anymore because of several reasons like his passive hybrid defense nerf and lack of multiple cc (compare it to minotaur or tigreal, minotaur has the ability to use his skill 1 up to 2 times if you use it before ult, and for tigreal his 2nd skill has 2 phases, so if you use it to initiate you can still use it again unlike atlas)

Still sad that moonton removed his ability to reduce attack speed. For me, the biggest downside on why Atlas wasn't as picked as Tigreal is because his skillsets doesn't really provide great cc without ult. With the freeze on passive, he is much better on clash since he isn't ult reliant anymore

The buffed passive plus the new fleeting time made him more durable during early game

2:35 Saber panicked

"Was" an atlas main. Now I actually use more damage sponges(hylos) or hybrid roamers(nat, edith, barats) actually. He is still good tbh and I play him whenever I see a teammate whom I can combo with.

Only 2 reason i rarely pick atlas ("rare" doesn't mean i dont like pick it) 1. mobility, compare to other tanks, just my personal pov, experiencs atlas walks a bit slower than others. i know can counter with emblem movement speed stats but i like to use hybrid def stats rather than mov. speed stats emblem. and can counter with 2nd skill but sometimes i like to save 2nd skill for skill2-ulti combo when my flicker is cd. 2. based on situations; usually for less-dashed junglers (fighter/tank/mage) i pick atlas or carmilla because easy to use ulti on them, kinda hard to catch assasin junglers(ling, fanny, haya) with atlas' ulti, i picked khufra or belerick(ulti) to counter them

Atlas and Zhask together is actually insane. Such an underrated duo. As for Atlas, after he use his ultimate in the enemy. What does he do? Stands around the enemy or back off because all his skills is on cooldown. I wish he can be able to do something after he uses his ultimate. He relies too much on his ultimate. One buff I’d recommend is the 2nd skill. They should let his cooldown begin the moment he uses his skill 2 instead of starting after he merged back together. Another buff I’d recommend is larger range on ultimate. Or they can make his skill 1 more useful by making its cooldown a lot shorter. They can also buff his passive by allowing him to freeze his enemy a little longer or they can just his make the freeze easier to activate. The biggest weakness for Atlas is if you notice he doesn’t have flicker and you just saw him after he merged back using skill 2, you can actually poke him. Another weakness is purify, diggie, and anyone who has cc immune. He’s definitely just meh right now. Other tanks outshines him because they are not reliant on their ultimate and some of them are also tankier. Btw he needs a new skin. All the human heroes keeps getting skin, while unique non human heroes doesn’t get any.

it's been a while since I've played the game but from what I remember he's kinda weird. his only purpose as a set-tank is to (obv) set enemies and tank their damage. but he sucks so much at tanking that he gets out-sustained by a burst khaleed and tank layla. building him to be tanky will also drastically hurt his cdr so it's really either you build him tanky (which still won't really make him that much tankier) and suffer with sets, or build him as a set-god but get oneshot by everything. I think a really good buff for him would be to only let his octopus form take dmg while using his 2nd skill, as his body also taking damage only makes him a much, much bigger target. maybe giving his octopus form some shield or slight def increase ontop of that would be good too. I heard that the revamped icecrown let's you use skills while being frozen, so maybe it'd help him with his squishiness too.

Atlas não tem um efeito de controle imediato como a maioria dos tanks. Precisa de um certo tempo para sua passiva ativar e ela te obriga manter proximidade letal com os inimigos, até mesmo sua Ultimate tem um pequeno atraso. A maioria dos jogadores querem apertar os três botões e com isso conseguir te impedir de jogar.

I suck at using active skill items (because it requires perfect timing) and Atlas relies too much on his ultimate (one mistake in the late game and you're done) yeah... or maybe it's just me who doesn't suit him

Atlas needs revamp bruh. His second skill and even the conceal isn't working when the enemies are so used to Atlas sets. He relies so much on flicker today

Honestly, I still like him cause of his ult. Prob the best setter but not the best tank, after ult, you're basically nothing cause he's squishy af even with def items

As solo roamer player, a setter tank not work really well in this patch since first turtle is very crucial moment right now and most midlaner not really understand how to share exp. Thats the first point either our team or enemy team start snowballing. So yeah its better play chip, etc which doesnt relay on ultimate to stun enemy jungler during turtle contest.

In Ph, if you pick atlas early, the enemy will just simply pick Valentina or diggie if not banned

Atlas is a setter tank and probably tg & mino is just kinda easier, remember you couldn't do ult properly when lag 😅

One of the reason why is his ultimate. For some reason, 99% of the time I uses his ultimate there will be lag that make me not able to drag the enemy to my side. OR the game straight up become more unstable when I use him not sure why😢

Another thing why is carmilla so common now?? Did she get reworked?

As someone who owns a Elite Atlas skin. I'm really that lucky?

the weakness of Atlas is slow mov speed, squishy, and his cc not much good if compared with Tigreal that have multiple cc, stun, knockback, knockup, immobilize, slow

Here to stop ppl saying first

Why you never use 1st skill along with 2nd skill movement?

"I don't see many Atlases" says the diggie main lmao

Reason why people dont want to use atlas is He is squishy as compared to other tanks. His cd is very long his main kit when he dont have his ultimate is his skill2 which has a super long cd. Without ultimate he is kinda useless and cant protect his teammates.

Not just diggie mate hanabi also needed in your team for more easier time....

Is beacuse diggie is still a viable pick and valentina can easily counter him.

Atlas sucks in today's meta tbh, people know that Purify or diggie is his counter basically once you pick Atlas while forgetting to ban diggie, you're screwed. His passive basically non-existent (only his freeze is useful) and nerf on tank items defense make him no longer viable in today's Meta since most tank nowadays can engange + disengage easily (e.g Gloo Akai Chip Edith Khufra, you name it)

Atlas is one of the game-changers.

I don't use Atlas that much bcs Solo que now is full of dumb teammates. Doesn't even know how to play safe when I'm rotating. Keep spamming "tank?" when my skills are on CD.

Anyone experience using his ult with temporal reign cant suplex enemies?

that saber keeps using his ult without first skill active..

As a tank lover atlas is one of thr best

You need a good team to maximize atlas.

Because... atlas ulti useless now... M9ntage still good but in high rank... everyone wont stay near each other anymore

It's a slight buff for him. His passive was nerfed a lot time ago if you remember. He needs a buff for his S1 to cast it faster.

I love atlas but his kit is too ult reliant, he needs a revamp (except ult)

Atlas isn’t good anymore because Valentina AND Diggie. . Two bans to reduce counters isn’t worth 40% of your bans 😅

The last nerf for his skill 1 damage is one of the reason why atlas is'nt populqr i guess

shhhh don't tell them about him i have been using him a lot these days I don't want anyone to take him from me

😮

For it's depend on the random team that you're queued with. Imagine catching enemies when your teammate doesn't even give a damn follow up cuz they're such a baby 💀💀

I prefer hylos with your build

Hylos is the best tank for solo q

That saber is not focused at all the entire game

❤

Noted, going EXP Atlas next time

Tigreal after being buffed is much better than atlas thats why atlas usage has decreased

i hope noone in my server sees this, i know atlas is a sleeper pick

Atlas for the win

With diggie nerf he and tigreal will have better chances now

🎉

I remember when almost everyone bans atlas then its tigreal turn

I always use atlas if tigreal got banned

6:22 Atlas use his Ult in thin air before the game ends😅😅😅😅

Diggie and purify exist😢

Sorry, are you referring to the +5 defense "buff" to his passive? It's literally unnoticable. What drugs are you on?

Sok ii tau ntg ni

Hellooo

Why atlas sucks. Enemies uses purify and diggie lol

Purify

i need teammate buff not all these 🐧

30 seconds gang

Not gonna lie but Atlas and Zhask combo is just evil

minute gang 🔥🔥

100th liker ❤❤

Diggie

1:48 I hate the way moonton changed Thamuz's running animation

2nd

actually first

atlas has always been my perma ban pick, even if he is nerfed, his cc immune ult combo is too deadly during late game my rank is Mythical Glory (19077750)

First 🎉

First

He’s just and incredibly boring play 😅

as an atlas main reasons why atlas can still struggle because of mainly hayabusa and hanabi, mainly anti cc heroes.
