> Do all the people that complain about the goop leader feel the same way about serina? Because i never see any serina complaints but I feel like she is leaps and bounds better than goopy at every point except MAYBE ultimate abilities. Just wondering because these leaders are like the banished/unsc versions of each other.
Serina has her issues, there’s no way around that. I’m sure we’re all aware of what those issues are.
For me, my main issue with Vord is his ability to spread Infusion ANYWHERE via hero, Engineers, LP’s, Wraiths, etc. He has so many ways of spreading infusion all over the map, and moreover, the infusion lasts for an ungodly amount of time.
On the flip side of this, Serina has far fewer ways of slowing/freezing. She’s limited to; Cryos, Hero, Nodes, Kodiaks, Cryo-Copter thing, and a couple LP’s. More importantly, her effects don’t last an eternity, don’t deal damage (I’m not counting shatter as dealing damage), and don’t remain on the map (excluding nodes).
And since you brought up ultimates… Serina’s just don’t compare to Vord’s in my opinion. Maelstrom is a terrifying ability; couple it with ROF or Erad and you’re capabale of dropping full pop armies. Then there’s Cata, that’s also capable of wiping full pop armies. Vord’s late game offensive killing power is absolutely terrifying and incredibly easy to execute. Serina doesn’t have bad ultimates, but they don’t come close, in my opinion, at least.
So, for me, Serina isn’t as bad as Vord because of how easily it is to paint the entire map in Infusion, how effective Infusion is (still), and how devastating Vord’s late game is.
Again, Serina has her own issues, which we can address another time, but this is why I personally believe Vord is ahead of her.
