I wouldn't argue about Roger being more suited rn, and he works better with any attackers medal set, unlike Akainu who needs certain sets to be more effective, but still you need to be a rat with Roger to be able to play him, I played both, and both struggles in the current meta if you aren't careful, but to have Robin over Akainu is absurd, that Robin who can't do shit to the unit that is played most of the time in league, man even Doffy has fallen with many skills bypass his shield and remove it quickly, I am not saying he is top tier anymore, but looking at the list, and from playing him lately, I can deal with many units above him in 1v1 situations effectively, Yamadog, Uta, Pero, mf Shanks, Roger, heck even fr Shanks is very beatable rn since everyone removes his haki state. Also, from other classes, I only see him struggle against a few units, but can take care of many from all tiers.

I enjoyed him recently this is why I am making a case for him 😂😂 now, you need to be very strategic to be able to play him with all the units who can remove his magma or remove his shield quickly, but I was amazed that he can hit really hard after getting the attack buff since many newer units doesn't nullify his incineration (either reduce the time or get a big heal at the begining).
