So some of you may know, i hate the griffin. And when i say hate, i mean pure outright hate. That thing is so popular in champion league even though it has terrible stats. Low health, barely decent speed, good firepower and jump. They then go on and look at the rog and inquisitor and say
"it is so fragile with that low health"
"it doesn't have firepower" (rog only)
"it has a very long cooldown" (inquisitor only)
What makes the griffin good? The jump. Even with that harshly long 25 second cooldown, it is often praised as a glorious bot. There are problems with this. You jump into a bad position either by accident or my miscalculating the jump, you are dead. You can't escape no matter what you do. With the rog however, you can wait 2 seconds to jump again and even have good speed to help you get away quickly. With the inquisitor, you have the 5 seconds of stealth after you land to help you escape if you need to and even has more speed than the griffin. The inquisitor is literally a better griffin in every way possible (except ability cooldown). And before you go on saying that the inquisitor is expensive, then just remember the fact that people have bought 5 dash bots and 15 shocktrains. They are definitely more than capable of buying one. Now with the rog, it is a bit more expensive, but these are the differences between the 3 bots:
I recently bought myself a rog and swapped out my DB rhino for an orkan rog. I have found the orkan rog to be much better due to its amazing mobility, dancing around enemies and dodging enemy fire. It also has a smaller body, so tempests, punishers and thunders don't hurt as much as they normally do. I have not yet been able to get myself an inquisitor so i can't say too much on it. But i really prefer the rog over the griffin. I have used them both and they are both level 7 bots. What do you guys think? Do you also prefer the rog over the griffin or do you still think the griffin is the best?

jump(25s) | jump(7s) | jump+stealth(25 seconds after landing) |
