The Ranking Council have decided to bump down the Samaels in OP tier to SS+.

Their stats aren't that good for the current meta. They are Support monsters, one of them has stats that are better fitting for an Attacker, and the others stats are just too balanced for any specific niche. Granted, the only stat that really matters for a support is Speed, but neither of them even break the 3,500 mark, which by today's standards is kinda not good.

While their skills, even today, are still amazing, they're hindered by their massive Cooldowns. CDA can shut down a Samael easily with their sheer amount of CDs being in the 3 to 5 range.

For these reasons, they just aren't quite OP anymore. But SS+ is not a tier to scoff at either. They still perform very well in the game and can be some of the best and most powerful Dark Supports a player can get their hands on.
