I heard that the Mi-35 sucks. They look cool, though.

Well that is debatable,depending on the variant you have & how you use it.The current Mi-35s being offered by Russia with upgrade packages from Israel,South Africa,Britain etc have come a long way from the vulnerable Mi-24s of the Afghan war.Most new variants have far better ECM,countermeasures capability,Laser & infra-red sensors as well as newer anti-tank missiles.The Polish variants for example,deploy the Israeli Spike missile.The type is cheap & sturdy which is why many nations still choose to buy or upgrade it when they can easily buy newer systems.
