Best Of

5 years ago when I started, EQ felt difficult to the point that I won't explore because I know my account isn't enough to tackle it unless I improve my skills and roster. Everyone understood that. You want better rewards?Then punch above your weight and improve your skills.

Now, if it feels like everyone feels entitled that they deserve all the rewards without improving their skills or losing a few items from their stash. A lot of people are also desentisized by the economy that the rewards ain't enough. Problem on both side.

One thing I don't like about her kit which is very irrelevant today is she needs opponent to trigger atleast one evade before inflicting coldsnap. Imo it should be a pre fight between incen and coldsnap because in modes like battlegrounds you cannot risk a evade and she can take some new champs like bullseye with this one change

Except Kabam has gone on the record stating quake was never intended to be played the way people play her and she should have been changed a long time ago.

If you think Quake is not broken then you haven’t played Quake enough.

Always laughable when I see threads like this, let’s make a list of all the meta defenders she can quake real quick: Attuma, Punisher, Yelena, Bullseye, Capt Britain, Gentle, Jean, Onslaught, Sinister, FAM, Zola, Solvarch, Peni, Sentinel, Galan, Hulkling, Dark Phoenix, Thanos, Medusa, Abs, Kindred, Enchantress, Nico, Rintrah, Sasquatch, Photon, High Evo, MODOK, Rhino, Thing. Probably missed some I’m sure.

Still think she should be a 6* or 7*? Cause I guarantee you that would absolutely break BGs. The ability to KO without landing single hit is way more op than some of you think lol.

I remember Kabam placing a True Focus on THE WHOLE Boss Island to counter Quake. But the side effect was really bad since it also affected champs like Tigra, Ghost, Mr. Negative, Kitty, etc. It indirectly reduced the number of options for the Boss Island just so they can increase the difficulty while at the same time making Quake ineffective. At the current meta that will make a lot of champs ineffective like Count Nefaria, Viv Vision, Prowler, etc. all of which are common champions used in War.

Just to counter one broken champ. I was a heavy Quake user but war and planning for quests is more fun without her.

I want to touch on one point you make here, being Quake’s relevancy in Coliseum. I strongly disagree with you on it.

Each health bar in Coliseum is not particularly large, so it would not be at all out of reach for Quake to take out a meaningful number of health bars there in a run before the timer ran out. And she would run out the timer, nearly guaranteed.

The escalating difficulty mechanics of Coliseum are 1) increased combat power rate, and 2) a sleep mechanic that is based on you attacking the defender. Quake completely ignores both of these. There would need to be specific anti-Quake measures instituted, and those would all have knock-on effects to other champions (as others have discussed).

And that doesn’t even get into how broken she would be for Solo Coliseum, where there is no timer or podiums. I guarantee that, unless there were some specific mechanic that closed her out, you would see people putting up 80 bars with just her if she existed at a relevant rarity. A dedicated (insane) enough player may still do that! That would be incredibly detrimental to game health and demoralizing to a developer who spent time trying to create a fun piece of content.

I have had this conversation on here before, and every time I try to enter it with an open mind, but Quake is just bad for MCOC in her current form. She either needs to be reworked or abandoned, those are the only healthy options.

Guess he doesnt need the t7b, t4a, relic rank up stuff, titan and 7* shards.

The fact that you’re making the Scarlet Witch comparison tells me you absolutely have never been a high level BGs player and probably place Uru every season because otherwise you would know why that comparison is stupid. Scarlet Witch can’t handle meta modern defenders not even 50% of them, Quake in her current state still handles 90% of them, huge difference right there.

You know you’d think after the Battlerealm Brawl and seeing top players win fights even when the fight time was 70-80 secs most people would have moved on from the “too slow” argument but apparently they haven’t.
Let me tell you something, up here in Mysterium, time doesn’t matter nearly as much as health does (unless it’s a full on nuke meta which are very rare these days) so in the right hands, Quake is potentially the most versatile consistent champ in the entire game and nothing stops her damage. I don’t think you quite understand how strong a champ who can take about 90% of the entire champion roster actually is, which is fine but experienced players and Kabam themselves know how absolutely busted that is and that’s all that matters. Thankfully you aren’t the one in charge of balance decisions.

As for the “well there are multiple ways you can shut her down” tell me how many current meta relevant defenders apply any of those effects at the start of the fight just by existing? Because on my first comment I counted about 30 she can easily Quake because they don’t have power gain, or apply any of those effects without at least hitting you once.

Not in comics, he s not. I don't care about the MCU shenanigans.
