Best Of

Here's something to get the discussion started, Peixe; from my main rework thread, https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/328552/complete-buff-designs-for-classic-champions/p1

This is a mild to moderate Tune-up, rather than a full rework; so Ghost Rider's primary mechanics aren't really changed. He continues to be based around inflicting Judgements on his opponent, which progressively weaken the opponent, and strengthen subsequent judgements.

Ghost Rider

Health 54876
Attack 4061

Passive
A bloodless skeleton wreathed in Hellfire, Ghost rider is immune to Bleed and Incinerate effects; and Poison effects from non-Mystical opponents suffer -70% Potency.

Bane of Evil
Against #Villain opponents, Ghost Rider gains +15% to his Attack, Armour and Critical rating.

#Villain opponents passively suffer -10% Critical rate and Attack rating for each Judgement upon them.

Against #Hero opponents, all Judgements apart from the Judgment of Guilt suffer -15% Ability accuracy (most heroes feel guilty about something...)

Judgements
Ghost Riders judgements are triggered by certain actions or combos. Judgements last indefinitely when placed, but can only be placed once. When a judgment is first placed, Ghost Rider inflicts a secondary effect (Fury, Degeneration, etc) that gains +75% duration for each Judgement already in effect when it is placed.
The list of Ghost Rider's Judgments, and their secondary effects is:

• Complete MLLLL combo: Judgment of Spite - Inflict a Degeneration passive causing 5969 damage over 3 seconds.
  
• Complete MLLLM combo: Judgement of Corruption - Gain a Fury passive, +4466 Attack for 9 seconds
  
• Heavy attack: Judgment of Malice - gain a Lifesteal passive, enabling Ghost Rider to Steal 1371 Health on each Attack. Ghost Riders Lifesteal only works against the living, and will not generate health against #Robots.
  
• Hit opponent with Special-1 Attack: Judgment of Pride - Inflict a Fate Seal passive for 6 seconds.
  
• Hit opponent with Special-2 Attack: Judgment of Anger - Inflict power drain passive removing 20% of the opponent's Maximum Power over 2 seconds. If the opponent is immune to Power Drain, inflict a 120% Wither passive, instead.
  
• Hit opponent with Special-3 Attack: Judgment of Guilt - Ghost Rider's Penance state inflicts a Damnation passive upon the opponent for 5 seconds. Damnation causes 2464 damage, and also inflicts Fate Seal, Heal Block and Power Lock.
  When Damnation ends, remove all Judgements from the opponent. This does not remove any active secondary effects.

Special Attacks
SP1 - Inflict Judgment of Pride.
If this Judgment is already active, instead Nullify one buff for each two Judgments on the opponent (rounded up).
SP2 - Inflict Judgment of Anger.
Additionally, inflict Incinerate for 5228 damage over five seconds. Incinerate Potency increases by +25% for each Judgement currently active on the opponent.
SP3 - Inflict Judgment of Guilt. This attack additionally refreshes any other secondary effects that are in place when it is activated.

Signature ability:
At the start of the fight, activate Judgment of Cruelty. As a secondary effect, this judgment grants a Power Gain passive for 12 seconds, generating 3% of a bar of Power per second.
Additionally, each Judgement placed on the opponent increases Ghost Rider's Offensive combat power rate by 12%.

So, this Tune-up would provide Ghost Rider with the reliability he currently lacks (his judgements have a pretty significant failure rate, right now); his debuffs are all replaced with passives; he switches out Bleed for Degeneration (which will go nicely with the Ghost Rider relic...), gets Wither to manage any cosmic opponents immune to Power Drain, and a fairly hefty Incinerate on his SP2. And that extra Judgment in his Sig should be quite a significant boost to getting his rotation started in shorter fights.

But it's still a Tune-up rather than a full rework - what do people think? And what else would people like to see?

We, plus 80+ that voted GR in the poll, plus anyone that want Ghost Rider's Rework join us!

Let's deliberate how to convince our fellow summoners that with Ghost Rider rework everyone may have a great champ.

Not someone that is only used as a punch bag everytime or a BW that even dont resemble Scarlet Johansson, or the Frost Giant baby that isnt worthy of a Mcoc rework.

Lets do our GR Testimony to everyone and let them do the judgement of their next vote and choose Johnny Blaze🔥🔥🔥

Please Kabam, Ghost Rider deserves a superior level than CGR as he is the principle and the end.

Thanks Kabam 🥳

Mystique and C&D have technical issues iirc so I'm not expecting any of them.

Chameleon...what would he do really?

Hobgoblin, literally just Green Goblin but meh.

Lizard I think is safe-ish, he's 99% likely but he's not guaranteed.

Blob I'd say is safer for next year.

Since the Summoner's Choice this year was focused on martial arts and swords (I think?) I'm assuming Mr Knight's release will be beside Swordmaster (Lin Lie) cause I'm assuming they wanted a unique thing with swords for the event/side quest going on that month, and Lin Lie is *the* Swordmaster...or Black Knight.

I'm assuming Doom 2099 will be added to catch up with the MARVEL Rivals hype so probably November? Or a mad scientist duo month with Lizard in October?

Wonder Man is getting a show so he's a given I think to see added.

Gonna get like 2 Eidols thrown in to finish the 5 so altogether...

Swordmaster/Lin Lie or Black Knight & Mr Knight
Wonder Man
Lizard/Doom 2099
2 Eidols

Which gives us 7: 2 for September, 2 for October, 2 for November and one for December to end out the year.

Doom 2099 is the one I'm not confident moreso on since I'd assume they wanna cash on RIVALS hype or Marvel would want to push him more so that can be swapped out

Nah they don't add champs based on them appearing on a show. Otherwise we'd have swordsman or echo or Agatha etc already. They do for movies, but not shows.
