Best Of

If you ever wanted an example of Kabam "Kabamming" content, Coliseum is a perfect example. They made this great looking mode that "should" be a lot of fun, engaging, competitive, and ruined it.

1. Adam Warlock might be the most annoying champ to fight against on a timer. Power gain, long annoying special 2, pod
2. Too Passive: Not only is Adam Warlock annoying with power gain/special2, but the AI has been adjusted to be sooooo Passive, worst part of this game has always been baiting specials. If he doesn't throw sp1 not much you can do about it. Shouldn't need champs like DShe SHulk, Pavitr to get the AI to throw a Sp1.
3. To go with the passive AI, they conveniently introduced Pavitr Prabhakar- who you can buy right now - that has similar taunt ability
4. Coliseum XP is a long grind. What should have been maybe 3 fights per podium (best score counts) turned into 100+ fights for small XP. The idea being you spend units to upgrade the podium faster

Welcome to more complaints, but similar to Battlegrounds, Arena, monthly EQ, AQ, this game mode is repetitive and boring. Day 2 and I'm already bored/don't want to play anymore.

There are two main issues with Coliseum. It doesn’t reward skill and it’s a grindfest. When I say it doesn’t reward skill I’m not talking about the F2P/P2W aspect of it with the podium upgrades - that’s an entirely different conversation. Both of these problems can be solved with a couple simple fixes.

1. Remove the podium leveling system. It has to go. The fact that I can do a legendary run with perfect RNG and cooperative AI and clear say 22 bars with Deathless She-Hulk but have it count less than someone who only cleared 15 bars but has a more upgraded podium is garbage. My choices shouldn’t be endlessly grind the podium before trying for a magic run or pay to upgrade my podium. If I take the former route I’m likely to never get the magic 22 bar run again but I’ll certainly be frustrated by the process.

2. Either put the point multipliers in the tags or give some sort of boost to champs that fit the tags. (This point assumes that the podium leveling system has been removed) Currently there is next to no incentive to use champions that meet the suggested tags. They only offer a maximum of 60,000 points to your score before the multiplier. Using a champ like Gentle, who covered all 3 of the tags on the 1st day was completely pointless given how difficult that fight is for him vs a champ like Onslaught who covered none of the tags but could easily make up the point definite and then some. If you want people using certain tags, you have to make it worth it. You have to make it difficult for a champ who don’t fit the tags to score as highly as a champ that fits one or two of them at it should be near impossible for a champ that covers none of tags to outscore a champ that covers all three. There are two ways to accomplish this - either attach a point multipliers to the tags instead of giving a flat number of points… or you could give a damage multiplier to champs that meet the tags. Gentle with 300% more damage would probably give Onslaught a run for his money in this mode if that were the case. Without something like this the mode will devolve into something like Battlegrounds where nearly everyone uses the same champs in their deck with a few node specific champs every meta. If you want us to use specific champs GIVE US A GOOD REASON TO USE THEM!

That’s it. Take away the tedious leveling system that turns the mode into a grindfest sucking all the fun out of it and make the using tagged champs actually matter in the scoring so they’re more than just the ignorable suggestion that they are now
