Re: Initial Thoughts On High Evolutionary?
No that's not what I'm talking about, the rate at which it expires in general is fine, but what they should do is make it so it expires faster while you're landing hits. That would make him more dangerous both on attack and defense.They probably made it expire slowly because if they made it too fast, on defense it would just detonate and you wouldn't have time to land 15 hits before the timer expires. I think on attack though, you should be able to control its duration compared to on defense.Actually the issue is it expires too slowly, they should've kept the combo detonation passive similar to BRB's shocks so you have full control of it and fan re apply it reliably as much as you want.A 4/5 defender is better for sure, not every single defender needs to be 5/5. I think his combo detonation and evolutionary field should last a bit longer so you could fit multiple SP1 bursts. I still haven't tested him beforeI wish but I don't even know what they could do to him defensively to make him 5/5 without turning him into another Serpent on accident because if that happens then there's zero chance he gets buffed offensively as well too. Right now he's definitely not a 5/5 defender it's more like a 4/5 but I'd rather he stays a 4/5 and gets a buff on attack than getting buffed on defense to match the 5/5 but keep him mid on attack.Mid defender, no idea why they call him 5/5 he already has a bunch of counters and isn't even in the featured crystal yet.Do you think he'll get a defensive tune up like Arcade?
Re: Team replacement
Your first mistake is thinking about the game in terms of having a core team when that's not how this game is designed

Re: Which skill champion to R3?
What sig level is your crossbones? Also do you like playing him? If he is not at a higher sig, or you don’t like playing him, okoye is the way to go. She’s great unduped, loves to be awakened, but doesn’t need itCrossbone's sig really doesn't need to be that high.
Re: Saga Champion Selector (Sinister excluded)
I pray to god there should be. A wof type event in the near future, and one of the best counters for one tough fight should be NC/CMM, so I can ridicule you for this decision.I have Sinister at sig 190 and Ultron at sig 70, and don't have the other 3.It felt crappy but took those 10 sigs.
I'm still leaning toward taking Sinister. 10 sigs is like 10k radiance, which isn't nothing.
The others all suck imo.
Just don't want to ever invest in the other champs and now I won't be tempted to.
Re: battlegrounds is in its most unplayable state
You can always count on him to defend kabam like his life depends on it. It's obvious this dude hasn't played any games outside of mcoc if he thinks money can't buy wins in BGs or that skill is what matters most. Pretty much everyone who defends BGs is either a spender or someone who only plays mobile games so they are already brainwashed into the p2w ecosystem.you keep repeating “money doesn’t buy skill” like that’s the full story, but you’re ignoring the structure of the mode. battlegrounds isn’t a test of pure skill—it’s a draft-based, roster-dependent format where access determines options, and options shape outcomes.You can't spend money to be good in battlegrounds. Money doesn't make you have more skills. Money might buy a bigger roster, but money doesn't make you an expert on using all those champs you have.here’s the thing, you’re confusing competition with an absurdly high paywall. its not about climbing harder, it's about access being sold. no matter how much someone grinds, they can't compete with wallets, not skill. that’s not “fair” competition, it's monetized gatekeeping.To tell you that you're wrong in what you're thinking. It's a competition, a concept you clearly don't understand. The higher you climb, the harder the competition is. Why should you get to face lesser competition than the bigger accounts for the same rewards?if you don’t play it or care about it then why even say anything at all. go away.I don't grind BGs. I don't put effort into so yeah, you probably have more points than I do. Congratulations.guarantee you don’t have more points than me, if you’re even in gc.Worth more than your skills in BGs.By my estimate, you're like the 2367th person to post here on the forums about how you don't understand how a competition works and how BGs works.by my estimate, it seems like it’s your job to live on this forum and white knight kabam under every single person’s opinion about the game, every hour of the day. it seems like you’re worthless.
people who pay should get perks, sure, but not to the point where no amount of effort can ever catch up. that’s not competition, that’s just selling power. there’s a line between rewarding support and making it nearly pointless to even try without paying. this game crossed it.
You have to know which champs counter those defenders. You have to know the attackers rotations well to KO the defender quickly. Money doesn't buy that.
You can tell people that BGs is somehow a paywall, monetized gatekeeping, or whatever buzzword that makes you mad. Money can't make you good in battlegrounds. It doesn't win fights for you. You can't pay your way to wins. It's just an excuse because you've reached your skill ceiling.
yes, knowing rotations matters. yes, counters matter. but guess what—you need to actually own those champs to use them. and when spenders have 3x the ranked champs, exclusive meta defenders, and better everything, they’re not relying on just skill—they're relying on volume and variety to carry them. and recently with every event making the gap wider and wider, while regular people wait months for content.
you can’t pretend this is a level field when one side can always get 10/10 perfect drafts, and all the top counters—and the other can’t even build a FULL competitive deck after completing everything in the game 100% and anything new that comes out immediately. that’s not skill vs skill. that’s stacked odds. and calling it a “skill ceiling” just shows you aren’t even trying to use your brain.

Re: battlegrounds is in its most unplayable state
My only gripe is about the recent meta’s.spending keeps the game going, of course, but it doesn’t justify the gap. after completing everything, you’re still capped at 4 MAYBE 5 rank 4s, while spenders can jump to 15-20. that’s not just progress, it’s a paid shortcut to an entirely different tier of play. the issue isn’t that spending exists, it’s how far it takes you compared to what the game actually lets you earn.
The fights haven’t been fun and the outcome of a match seems to be affected much more than usual by the initial champ draft.
No issues with people getting an advantage by spending, it keeps the lights on.
also, events being 39k unit milestones is just pure nonsense.

Re: Confussion 🤔
Dazzler doesn't need R4.
An R3 Dazzler can kill any R4 defender with her SP1-SP2 rotation.
And if she can't, it's because there is some roadblock that being R4 and 20% extra attack won't help with.

Re: battlegrounds is in its most unplayable state
Somewhat agree with OP. I’m in Mysterium with 11 R4s, for context. I’m happy paying money for special edition champs like Dark Phoenix and I do think they should be useful in BGs to make them valuable. I’m very happy with my HT and RG but don’t think they should’ve been locked to spenders (maybe 20k units is ok, not 39k).this, it’s super frustrating but i’m not going to let anyone stop me from getting the rewards i want lol. just sucks the way you can complete the entire game but only have enough for like 4 ranks 4s.
Completely disagree with anyone crying about matchmaking in GC. Level playing field there, stop asking for an easy ride.
I took a break for a year and have more R4s than some folks who’ve consistently placed master in AW and celestial in BGs.
Spending should be on limited edition variants of characters (Dark Phoenix, WWX, World Breaker Hulk?, white iron fist lol). Rank up materials should be available to everyone so people can keep up. Obviously some rank up materials need to be in offers but it is a bit ridiculous atm. And that’s coming from someone who buys all those offers so I stand to benefit.
