You say that and yet every person who reaches champion is an Alicia, myself included. Lost one game as antagonist and that was because I felt like playing Shae and chill. The fact that you say how Alicia isn't viable already shows your main issue with not reaching a good win streak. Ask any champion rank player besides me and they will tell you the same.
It's more one sided saying you think it's too hard simply because you most likely don't know how to approach as an antagonist. Even though plenty of people and myself reach top rank and 100 - 200+ points with barley ever losing, the proof is on the league, that isn't one sided.. ive had champion achieved with ease on all 3 seasons so far to the point where i get bored playing antagonist after going over 100 points every week . You can say what you want but again it's all about the poking capability. Good luck trying to take down an Alicia with ease when they constantly poke with quick health regen and no practical way to chase aside from a hans or alicia. But hey, there goes the huddle and into your territory. I do it all time vs all kinds of scenarios, it's plenty effective. Maybe you should actually discipline yourself to at least try instead of the impractical conclusion that it can't be done when all champions pretty much use similar tactics. You should be constantly air borne with little ground time.
You think stress meter makes a difference when you constantly on the push?. Have you ever tried to effectively shoot down an Alicia doing air borne pokes?. She rips health down quick enough and recovers fast enough. You don't need to over commit when the npcs start stacking while they too busy trying to shoot you down and chase. And that's not even including when you get smoking daisy. Lots of spread and one shot limps snipers and clip puts down the rest apart from a mikha.
Huddled players won't progress fast enough so at thst point it just becomes a matter of stalling and keeping a balanced range during float so you don't get jumped and during that time, the npcs stack and apply more pressure, which is where your poking will start becoming more and more fatal. And they will be no closer or slowly progressing at best. You clearly don't know how effective poke is with Alicia simply because you either aren't good enough in general or you aren't patient enough to not get tempted for a quick kill. Either way it's bad. Try to pursue an Alicia with explosive clip drop and npcs is just suicide on top of that.
There's plenty of people achieving top ranks simply because they have earned it by being good enough for it. Don't believe me? Check the league every week and see for yourself. You dont see us struggling. Why people want to make it unnecessarily easier just defeats the purpose of earning these ranks in the first place.
The only time it will start getting difficult will be when many people begin to obtain the light pulse, which WILL ruin an antagonist often. So you think it's hard now?. Good luck when that day comes my friend.
