Oh Archon… You need too many conditions to make it work. It doesn’t worth of it, because having useless ult until 20 lvl to make it only viable can lose you a game.
Force Wall is always a better choice. In 90% of situations.
Oh Logan, you know that’s not true.
My high winrate and experience says otherwise.
Then you should know better…
Ok, Tassadar main.
I really expected this from anyone except you. I’ve seen Tass being played at high levels too much to know how much damage he does and how good archon is even at level 10.
As I said, mostly I can’t get close to not die fast, so I can’t use AA build and Archon. Too much conditions you need.
“Tassadar doesn’t carry, he makes other people to carry by his support”
Usually people get big damage numbers with W build, especially post 16. Archon is mainly used in fights to pump a lotta damage and to also reset his E when needed.
You can definitely carry with supports. Small plays usually carry more, but they are not really shiny. Like, even just a good shield on the right time can change the fight in your favor. Small plays > big plays.
One of reasons why I can take Archon not because, but because second E to survive if one E isn’t enough. And if enemy team had everything to counter my Wall.
Those small moves gets useless if your team sucks. Like they die too much and you lose lvl even if you double soak.
Second E is pretty good. It does suck if you have to use it just to escape because of the cooldown on your ultimate, but if you can bait people into using ultimates and stuff on you, then it is probably a free fight.
My 5 man kill + double soaking with Genji is also useless because my team sucks 
Seriously, had games where I literally did everything on the game and still lost 
Emmm, how the f your 5 man kill is “small move”?! Tassadar has problems with killing even one person, I don’t mention 5 heroes.
Nooo, I meant my big plays are also useless cause team sucks and we just lose even after I pull a 5 man kill.

Big brain moment.

Yeah, Archon seems kind of underwhelming until lvl 20. Duration is way too low for a 100s CD transform.
Even at lvl 20, if it is possible to sustain it for extended periods of time, you cannot mount during that time and cooldown starts only after Archon ends, so it is always 100s downtime.
Compared to other transforms like Alexstrasza or Tychus who cooldown while transformed this seems unfair.
Also to sustain it you are often forced to shield yourself leaving your teammates vulnerable during shields downtime.
