Re: New BG requirements make it harder for FTP.
I agree, honestly i never even reroll anymore, unless im close to getting to the next BG rank, if i get unlucky, so be it, i aint gonna spend my hard-earned trophies on rerolling every match, id rather invest it in rank up materials
Re: Valentine's Box Yay
I don't get why kabam wouldn't just leave it enabled. Tis unfair that some folk got to redeem it.
Re: Valentine's Box Yay
I think kabam is trying to figure out what to do. There might be a chance they throw out the code again to people who didn’t claim
Re: Emperor doom counters
Don't need to rank anyone. If you mess up you die no matter how much health you have and you don't deal damage. Just use your r1 northstar and revive spam with him
Re: There are times where I wonder if it's worth playing the game
I was with you until you said the sp2 was hard to dodge. My brother in Kabam his sps are so easy to dex, I think his power gain needed a tweak or possibly his "sp2 bias" need a tweak before release.
He was the hardest one of the four for me personally stick with it you've got this.
Re: Thoughts on ascension pool “buffs”
I actually quite like the pool. It's a lot of champions that I kind of like but that aren't, at the same time, on my rank-up radar. Having them on a different track that doesn't "steal resources" from the champs that I do want to rank up normally feels very nice.
Then there are a few champs there that I do have ranked up, such as Howard the Duck, Adam Warlock and Baron Zemo. I'm very, very excited about being able to ascend them.
And then there are the buff, that I for the most part think looks fine. I immediately rank 4'd Jabari Panther after seeing her buff details, I think it looks amazing. It addresses a lot of my complaints about the champion and I'm very excited to see her in action. Then there are some champions that I'm really excited to see buffed, such as Korg and Sam Wilson, but will need to test myself to evaluate. Finally there are some champs that are more "eh, they're not my jam but the buff looks good" - your iDooms and Emma Frosts. I don't think their buffs look bad by any means - based on conversations I've had with fans of theirs, they seem to address some pain points just like the Jabari buff does for me - but they probably still won't end up in my deck. Just personal preference rather than any lack of quality.
All in all, everything looks pretty solid in my eyes. I can't wait until all of this kicks off next (right?) month.
Re: Thoughts on ascension pool “buffs”
They seem underwhelming and the sad part is some people appear to be so used to buffs being ass lately that they're setting the bar extremely low and calling them decent. Some of these buffs have potential but there isn't a single one that makes you go "wow that one's gonna be meta for sure". All they've done for most of the champs is increase damage and ramp up time, however, what I barely see in every buff is utility, what even is the point in increasing the damage if the pool of champs they can take is still limited? I know some of them got a few bits and pieces of utility but in my opinion it's just not enough regardless.
They're not as terrible and useless as Sabretooth's buff I'll give them that, but on paper they don't sound anything like the goated buffs we used to have a year or two ago with the likes of Sinister and Red Guardian who to this day are still extremely meta relevant.
