Why is RGX blade so popular?

I've been playing for three years and always thought it was underwhelming, it just doesn't look like a blade, more like a ruler with LEDs. Maybe because the rest of the bundle is really good? Idk. Sovereign and overdrive just seem more like actual swords than RGX, better sfx and has more substantial vfx when swinging. Also better variants in terms of difference.

thoughts??

cause its unique and also looks cool, the pullout is satisfying as fuck

I bought it when it came out and I kinda regret it
the inspect changing colours felt way cooler in my head

Interesting you mention the rgx blade cuz I barely see it. Underrated melee though

Bought it but kinda getting tired of it tbh.
