Best Of

I just can't understand why you guys are introducing these new game modes?

Mcoc Poker and Turn based autorun, they take away from the core of MCOC for the last 10-years of building your skill, expanding your roster and these game modes come away from this completely.

I feel like something like this might be a good if the rest of the game wasn't flawed; we still have input issues from 4 years ago you never fixed, an overtuned AI that can skip frames, recover exceptional fast and is still ringing the game. Not to mention the promises to add variety to Batllegrounds, that game mode that hasn't changed since it was released 2 years ago.

How much resources and money went into these modes that could have been put into improving the game? Nobody asked for this, everybody asked for a properly working game

Just FYI, content creators don't fix bugs. There isn't money being diverted to these other areas.

I struggle with understanding why these experiments are done in production. There is no focus group or feedback from the community on these modes until after you have spent time and money to create them.

Why even have the CCP at this point?

The Content Creator Program is not a group of free beta testers.
The program exists to help Creators produce content for their channels and support their careers.

So they make videos showing the rest of us how to do things - use champs, defeat champs, etc.

Which lends some credence to the thought that the game has become to complicated and unwieldy. I can’t remember the last time a champ came out that you could read the kit and know what to do.

I have full faith that you could read a champion's abilities and know what to do.
That's exactly how they do it.

A visual guide is an added bonus, and streamlines that learning process.
That's going to be the case in scenario.

Well you know what they (me) say about mcoc players

I'd really like to see Stick in the game.

I see him as having relatively low health when compared to most champions but due his marital arts mastery would have easy access to Glance. He wouldn't be a great defender apart from Glancing but would be a good attacker if played well.

Having spent untold years training, Stick could have a powerful Pre-Fight ability that allows him to select the approach he will use to defeat his opponent. Armour Breaks, Disorients, Concussions, all are possible tools he could employ. Knowing the opponent, and picking the most suitable approach for their demise, is essential to playing Stick.

These debuffs on the opponent would increase his damage output similar to Prowess buffs on Mutant champs. His Sig ability would turn these Debuffs into Passives, denying opponents the ability to Purify them as easily.

He wouldn't have many synergies. Elektra and Psylocke are good candidates. He's got to have a powerful synergy with Daredevil (Classic) and DDHK, maybe all three each starting the fight on a bar of power. A special synergy with Elektra would allow her to inflict Degeneration instead of Bleeds if Stick was knocked out, aka Black Sky.

See? There's the basis of a kit and no AI in sight.

This is good. But you can't deny AI is worse. Ai just makes it faster and in many cases better. You can always proof read and change Ai kits too, and with proper prompt ai can generate a full kit with values ( prestige attack rating crit rating block prof etc) in a much shorter time period.

Ai isn't made by us to compete with it which is better ai or us.. it is there to help us do things faster.

I make champion concepts every now and then and never use ai, nor do the champion designers. I come up with a concept, write the base kit, spend a few days thinking of how it would work, make tweaks etc. It's just a thing I do for fun, but if you're just spewing out ai concepts that are half formed even after you tweak them then what's the point.

I got a few of them now, but I have no idea what they're for or what they do. Why am I collecting them? Will they payoff? And why put an AQ objective during Raid month? Not even enough fights in Raids to achieve the objective, especially considering we received it midway through the current raid.

There’s still 19 days on the objective and raids month ends on Monday.

So i have to wait until next week to achieve the objective, at which point I will already have another set of objectives to achieve? Seems like bad planning to me, but fine. What about what they do?

Pretty sure they just unlock the objectives for the given week.

They unlock the objectives? But completing the objectives is what unlocks the Ping? I'm still confused.

It's only a best guest at this point since we haven't received any other info. I'll test it this week and hold onto one of the objectives until Wednesday and see if I don't get them until I claim the next ping. But in week one I know I didn't have any objectives until I got the number 1 ping, and the one we claimed after completing the objectives last week earned us the number 2. Not sure about this week as I've only done one objective. But if that is all that it is...well it fits the silly and pointless theme that has plagued the game recently.
