We don't appreciate dogs enough for just how well-attuned they are to the human world, far and above any other domesticated animal. For cheetahs they act as 'interpreters' of sorts: they know what humans are doing and when the cheetah sees that they're okay with what the humans are doing, then they can relax too.

Actually the humans are the reason Asian cheetahs extinct T-rex percentage of reaching level 1 is much lower than cheetah and yet they lived millions of years
@@AhmedBabiker-sr8fl That's because of the Chinese server, which adds up to +50,000% decay rate to any endangered species with the nasty debuff "traditional medicine". Decay rate will spawn over-powered mobs of poachers in groups of 1 to 25, each with the dreaded human ranged attack, and sometimes even abilities like: helicopter, which makes them immune to all ground builds. Decay rate is usually really low, but in and around China, it can be as high as 50,000% of nominal. Brutal stuff. I don't know what the devs were thinking.
The fact that cheetahs actually evolved to look like honey badgers as cubs is pretty nuts and very sad when you think about it. It's not like there is an intelligence behind evolution and it actively tries to do such things. It's driven by natural selection and that means that from all the random possible colourations these cubs over many generations were the only ones that didn't get killed.
Cheetah are not related to honey badger not even cat is related
@@butterflyandrose5547 ? We know they aren't
Provable if we could go back to alpha and see the meta be developed or if it was in the first build Since we dont have the patch notes because dev(s) didn’t leave documentation and there isn’t much development we’ll never know
Ok but the dev scattered so many things like this. Plants that look like bugs in order to get pollinated. So many beneficial symbiotic relations. The existence of moss and how widespread it is. All these things point to the existence of an intelligent dev who has created the Outside
@@butterflyandrose5547 Nobody said they were. The existence of mimicry in nature is indisputable and the mimic and model does not have to be related for it to occur.

The problem with cheetahs is that they're a mid-tier build in a diamond-elite-tier server. They'd most likely see more success in less-competitive regions where their abilities could shine without having to bend to the meta at every turn. That's not to say they'd ever be a top-tier, but they definitely seem to be a victim of poor matchmaking algorithms.
The only way I see them becoming viable in such a hard server is slowing down the speed and instead going for the same type of tree mobility Jaguars tigers and other cats have
You say that, but what other server could have possibly benefitted them enough to get them out of that low tier spot? Few places are as wide open as the African Savannah- only two I can think of is the North American Great Plains, and the Australian Outback. They might be alright in NA Great Plains, but considering the average size of the prey animals out there, they'd need a lot of kills to make up enough daily food- and the herd animals out there are used to coyotes and wolves, who're much better suited to the team play style and would definitely know how to stand their ground against a lone cheetah even on first contact. And AUS Outback, well, it's rocky and dry, and the best food source they'd really have access to would be small lizards and maybe the odd 'roo that got caught out of position. Their gameplay is just hard to put anywhere natural, and without a pretty serious rebuild, I wouldn't be surprised to see the player base completely die out, sad to say. They have little offense, no defense, poor team work and social skills, and their biggest strength- blistering speed- has hard counters common to most every mid to high tier build in the game.
I dont know of they could survive in another server.
@@beardofknowledge3792 The game's largest grassland is actually located in Eurasia. Cheetah mains do have a small playerbase in Asia itself so if they were to take some cold resistance traits and move up north they could enjoy a measure of success. Especially if the human mains complete their side quest of stabilizing Saiga populations.

Just a note that the part at 4:00 about cheetahs heating up because of the chase could be wrong according to a 2013 study which "recorded the average temperature of cheetahs after hunts to be 38.6 °C (101.5 °F), suggesting high temperatures need not cause hunts to be abandoned." It seems that the heating up could be a response to awareness of other predators in the area instead. The original 1973 study put cheetahs in captivity on a treadmill and had them attempt long-distance, medium-speed running, and observed that these cheetahs stopped running after overheating at 40.5 °C. However, overheating during an actual short-distance, high-speed chase hasn't been observed for cheetahs in the wild. Nevertheless, the observations from the 1973 study have become so ingrained in popular culture and in documentaries that they prevail to this day.

As a cheetah player, I speced into a companion animal for humans. They use me to catch game, share kills with me, and protect my kills and young from other predators. This is a big win-win.

@@sassas1487 He is one of those early players who spawned near some human faction leaders in the Indian and African servers.
Yeah in the Egyptian update Cheetah's was a pretty viable pick, even if niche and you had to have some luck involved. Thankfully in the current meta its somewhat less RNG because its easier to spec into human companion. Moreover, even if slightly, its becoming slightly more common to see cheetah players nowadays.
"speced ?"
@@dickon728 spec = specialize. It's a common RPG\MMO term.
The cheetah users should work together more when planning an attack on an enemy player. I think if they fought together as a squad and communicated well, we would see an increase in numbers.
This is exactly what they should be doing. They should be living in prides in order to have better defense, both against predators and scavengers, and to also protect their cubs from other attackers. One commenter above said that some cheetah packs are actually starting to do this so we may have hope yet for this build.
Problem is only males join into coalitions... the female build would have to speck into that strategy
i think they build to hunt smaller prey. not be able to compete with lions on large prey. their frame is too frail to handle big prey anyway.
Male cheetahs kill cheetah cubs all the time so females would never stick around.
@@AnhNguyen-hn9vjmale cheetahs mostly hunt big preys what are you talking about They should do the opposite what lions prides do males hunts females defend
See, if they could be bred easily, they might be able to be domesticated into a support class.
Imagine a cheetah on the police force🔥😅
Instead, being unable to be breed in captivity they were captured in mass and that caused their disparitions in Middle-East....
@Fabb Labbacab I mean for companions. I resonate with the cheetah. Being nervous creatures, as am I, it would be nice to just cuddle with one.
@Fabb Labbacab Well, yeah, they're not as effective as dogs, if humans kept them, it was for prestige XD And, as I said, humans did not stop to use them because they realized they were trash, but because they hunted them to extinction in Middle-East ^^
They were used by some human factions in Sumer to pursue antelope classes such as the blackbuck build. They are very sociable, but the fundamental problem is they are lazy. Cheetah mains (wisely) prefer to avoid the vast expenditure of energy unless a kill is very possible, and getting them to run in most other circumstances has proved futile
A little note on the cheetah team strats, it's been found in this age of desperation that teams of cheetahs are starting to grow considerably. Cheetahs have been recently seen trying to coordinate attacks against prey as large as giraffes with teams of 5 or even 6 cats, so this does give some hope to the graceful speed demon. Large prides could essentially negate all the drawbacks of playing a cheetah (low defense, low attack, killstealing hyenas, etc.) and be the saving grace for the build. Here's hoping they see the strategy's benefits and actually pull it off, I'd hate to see the build get banned.

Here's hoping
i find it hilarious that the saving grace for a cat build is a dog tactic. but if it saves the cheetah i'm all for it.

Really Fun Fact: Cheetas in captivity have doggo besties partnered up with them so they won't be lonely and anxious. I really love knowing that fact.
Makes sense. Cheetahs are as close as you can get to dogs if they are a cats. Blunt claws, good runner, decent endurance when trotting due to a skinny body frame. Cheetahs made one big mistake during their evolution - the thing that makes dogs viable is team work, and cheetahs work alone.
@@horvathbenedek3596 Imagine if cheetahs became a support class for humans the way wolves did early in the meta. Oh, how things would've changed.
@Shades Of V "even in the video the pack-hunting strategy of the cheetah is mentioned." Cheetahs are solitary, with rare exceptions. Pack mentality is much less ingrained in their species than in canines. "Wolves' real superiority comes from their lack of competition in their environment" Hard disagree. Animals that share the same niche and the same hunting strategy as wolves (hyenas) are perfectly fine in Africa. They even share the same adaptation of cracking bones to get at the marrow.
@@nick-playercharacter8583 " Imagine if cheetahs became a support class for humans the way wolves did early in the meta. Oh, how things would've changed." That's not only possible, but logical. Cheetas are famously easy to domesticate, and make about as good companions as wolves (as in, non-domestic dogs). They's probably fill a similar niche to birds of prey used by steppe people, due to their insane speed, and need for help to maintain control over the carcass. Now that I think about it, the total domestication of cheetas would probably be very easy.
@Shades Of V 1. Hyenas are actually VERY MUCH viable. I never sair superior, YOU said that. Superior compared to whom? Lion? Leopards? They share a different niche. The hyenas are very effective in their own, quite broad niche. Getting an "escalation of commitment" fallacy from a three comment chain is quite premature, and you insulting me makes you look like a massive dick. Not to mention you were already wrong about cheetas being pack hunters... Maybe tone down the narcissism, and be less rude!
Cheetahs are my favourite big cat - they may not be equipped to survive their environment very well, but that just makes me all the more passionate to help protect and preserve their wild populations 💚
But what if Cheetah mains switched servers? What if they were moved outta the highly competitive African Savannah server to Canadian Prairie or Australian Outback biomes? They might get a second lease on life without necessarily needing a longevity patch.
Putting any african build in any other ecosystem would absolutely destroy said ecosystem.
Since the cheetah followed the dog player base by giving up its retractable claws in order to gain traction, I feel its best option for survival is to put its evolution points into even more dog traits, particularly pack living. Having a pack lifestyle would be especially helpful for protecting young, as it would prevent smaller predators like jackals from taking advantage.
That is actually what alot of male cheetah's tend to do, they normally form packs on average of 3 to 5 max. The problem is the females never join packs with other cheetahs and will live alone once they're adults
The play here would be to put all skillpoints into fur, big eyes, and cuteness in general. Humans will do the rest.
i would suggest making one claw on the paw be placed on the top half of the paw it will stop it from be used for traction and more for attack and defense they will be able to slash enemies which try to approach
Unfortunately I don't think it'll matter much, considering how inbred cheetahs are... Yikes...
Just lower your speed from 75 mph to 65 and then use those evolution points into 10% more cuteness and 10% more durability so the humans would care for domesticated and injured cheetahs and for wild competitive cheetahs they could actually put up a fight.
I now feel confident enough to take on a cheetah solo.
I have decided not to do this.
Rest in Peace

@@normalbird1139 The stereotypical gamer type human has enough improvements to the eye, brain, and reflexes to successfully beat the shit out of a cheetah build as long as they don't let their fear overwhelm them or let the cheetah swipe them.

Ok but cheetas still have a card up their sleeves: they are slowly gaining ground in the human support meta
How exactly?
Not support, pet. Like the housecat, domestic cheetas aren't a support class but a parasitic playstyle. If this becomes the dominant playstyle of the cheeta players, then their survival as a species will be forever dependend on the human playerbase. As soon as the next balance patch hits and nerfs humans, the cheeta will be doomed.
@@thomasjetzer2823 Correct!
Housecats are effective support mains though, not parasitic. They provide area denial against vermin mains and have historically been very useful in mitigating rat mains’ ability to cast the plague debuff on humans. The reason there’s so many cat mains in the North American server is because of how good they are at griefing rats

Unfortunately, North America’s open landscapes have been increasingly destroyed by European colonization. Native Americans actually helped create, expand, and maintain open grasslands in North America through techniques like controlled burnings. While grasslands existed long before humans here, it was human intervention that created the vibrant grassland environments European colonizers initially stole. I live in Iowa, and the tallgrass prairie has been almost entirely lost in the last few hundred years. Efforts at restoration are now aping the same practices people here were doing for thousands of years.

There's huge remark though. Looking to all of cheetah disadvantages (fragile body type, solitary lifestyle, low attack), the question is: "how they didn't went extinct?" The answer is - they're really good at hunting. Their hunt success rate is one of the highest among the solitary predators (about 40-50%). So that's balances it out hence how they're still are there
*extinct
They nearly went extinct, their problem is the very low spawn rate. Lots of other animals get killed in Africa but there's plenty more to take their place, not the case with cheetahs.

The problem with cheetahs is that they’re a specialist build. The basic design of the feline charter type is to be generalists.
Exactly their build is focused on one aspect of combat while other felines have a jack of all trades build.
Could say the same exact thing about polar bears to other bears
problem is only human
Uh…cats really aren’t generalists. They’re ambush specialists and the larger ones in particular are dependent on large prey.
Just how the gharial is a specialist while most other crocodilians are generalists, i think generalists are a better design
Hot take: cheetahs are specialized for a match up spread that no longer exists in the African server. It's not necessarily their fault that the genetic diversity is so low, either. Humans nearly wiped out their playerbase.
Like Pandas and koalas, it's just further proof that specialist builds are terrible. Int builds will always hard counter a build going for an extremely specific playstyle, you're just too predictable and too reliant on resources staying the same market value. Generalist builds the way to go: Just look at house cats. They can reasonably rely on group XP as a support build, but have enough of their talents remain in tact that they can survive solo too, and because they put a few points in Neoteny, they can even trick humans into saving their ass and giving them free boosts if the wilderness is proving too dangerous Dogs made a similar case over in Australia: they hung around for the group xp, and then disbanded the group and dominated a totally unprepared playerbase. They somehow evolved from a support build to apex predator _in australia_
They also were at very low populations a few thousand years ago causing them to be inbred and losing diversity and humans don’t help it
@@potaterjim A generalist build may be more powerful but being able to just cruise through the game with relatively little effort is boring. If I wanted an easy time, I'd just play a plant.
I live in the African server. And you're absolutely wrong. Impallas and gazelles, their preferred prey are roaming everywhere. Cheetahs prefer antelopes, problem with cheetahs is not humans, but diseases and high spawn death ratio at the hands of lions and hyenas. There is some human conflict of course, but not to an extent lions, wild dogs or leopards face.
Humans fucked up every single meta in the game when they come about. It's likely the currently fractured matchup spread and the sheer quantity of low tiers is simply because they relied on a strategy that is no longer viable thanks to Humans.
I think a buff to cheetahs mobility traits in water terrain could be enough to bring them up to viability in the current meta. Adding enhanced water traverse speed to builds tends to be strangely viable.
water lizard eat cheetah
you aint outspeeding the croc build's propeller tails unless you really commit evolution points to it, and that would make the cheetah lose some of its other stats and abilities

Plot twist: It is not a coincidence "cheetah" sounds like "cheater". Once they developed the speed other species thought they were actually cheating until they discovered the negative effects of it and learned how to exploit the speed only build. They kept the name though.

@@taralamlam1961 y u keep spamming
your content is too funny, I love it
in spite of their distinct defense gameplay weakness. I would still put the Cheetah on D tier as its definitely a cut above stuff like the majority of Frog builds who get spawn killed so hard only a tiny percentage of them can survive the tadpole stage and can get one shot by builds far below their own weight class even without serious venom or poison traits. Cheetahs also still remain somewhat viable on Africa which has the aforementioned S tiers like Lions and hyenas. Cheetahs right now I think would do well to spec into better team strats and perhaps form permanent groups like most other S tier predator builds in Africa to better defend their kills and cubs. though they still wouldn't stand much of a chance against top tier herbivore players they could more reliably hunt down builds like Zebra and Ostrich. and lone predators would certainly think twice about taking on 3 or more Cheetahs just for the relatively smaller game they hunt. They may also want to consider having at least one of their front claws retractable so they can deal some damage with paw swipe based moves or spend time sharpening their paws whenever they can. A few other minor changes that might bring their top speed down just a little bit but increase power or defense without sacrificing their core identity of being the speed champions on land should also be considered.
I love the combo breaker at 2:50

bruh why dont cheetahs spec into team strats and smaller size, then they can get burrows where they'll be safe from most higher weight class predators like lions, they also wouldn't have to worry about their loot being stolen if they have multiple cheetahs defending
The worst quality of cheetah's high speed is its poor energy economy. Like your Ferrari runs fast, but most people drive sedans to work.
They're starting to spec into team strats. There's apparently a group of siblings (I believe 4-5) that are all hunting together in coordinated attacks. They're success rate has been substantially better as well. If they continue to do well and all find mates, we might be looking at a species behavioral change in real time.
@@Jkev24 that’s so cool how long have they been doing that and how long do you think it would take to shift the meta for them?
@@Jkev24 thats really cool, however the size of that group is really small and it would take a relatively long time.
A lower weight class would prevent them taking down their larger prey

First time on this channel and I love how y’all consistently talk about these things like they’re vid game characters in the comments. Automatic follow
My wife and I were eating lunch outdoors at a Safari lodge in Kenya. All of a sudden a cheetah burst out of the grass 100 yards away and lit out after some impalas. I had the idea that these chases lasted like a minute or so, but no way- the impala jinked this way and that and the cheetah ate up the distance like the impala was standing still. It snaked out a long leg and the impala went down in a cloud of dust. The whole thing took 20 seconds! Then the waiter served our next course like this stuff was old hat. Jeez!
