Which is the better Redemption hero?

Thaddeus  (Di)
John  (H) or John  (P)

John uses TGT and wrecks meta defense.

And again, John should have beaten Thad last year. Nice that we get this out of the way.

Other than the fact John is only up 1 somehow, I agree.

I was referring to the match-up. The Thad hype has dropped, so now we'll actually have a decently un-biased poll.

The best hero leads to the most LSs.

I'm pretty sure that John will rescue more LSs this year than Thad will.

I voted for John since he wrecks meta defenses this year.

Pretty much. To be clear, I voted for Thad last year, and I still think he should have won last year, but things change, and John is simply more viable now.

What's changed? The anti-meta defense this year is the same as it was last year.

Two things. Last year Philistines were a viable defense, and I think that Thad was a better option than John was in dealing with them in the late game. Additionally, last year, Disciples were the fastest offense, which meant Thad was better at the end game. This year they're not, so there's a smaller chance of solid Thad abuse before an opponent using a Sam deck would deck out.
