Best Of

I think 3.1 is bugged. No way the poison is reducing to 85% on science. 3-4 poison is draining health in minutes.

It needs two more things (that they haven't said are already in progress) to get to a good spot:

Reduced attack values and/or heal on swap (or at least every 3 fights)

Nodes that more broadly benefit the given class or additional nodes that give an alternate route to the beneficial nodes.

In addition to the changes of removing the classic difficulty requirement and allowing players to choose their difficulty, which they have said are coming, if they can do those two things it will be in a pretty good spot.

I certainly enjoy Elder over the previous TB EQ- I hadn't done EQ for maybe a year until the Valiant gauntlet trial and now Elder.

It's easy enough but just a tad on the long side with 96 fights- removing 2 defenders from each quest might make enough of a difference. Needing 1 clear through Classic is bit more tedious too.

GW is literally here just to derail the conversation and give them an excuse to close the thread, he has been doing it for 10 years. Not worth arguing with.

loved the truth video about Kabam she hit every point 100%

no he’s not. But I know you love playing in fields of straw men so unsurprisingly you picked this one up.

I tend to agree with this. I'm sure this is a hot take but I feel like the overall general power level of a characters is pretty apparent after a couple weeks of internal testing. I know the game is huge and there are always going to be weird interactions where certain ability/nodes interactions can really buff a characters strength beyond intention, but, personally, I think they can easily determine with a large degree of accuracy the general strength of a champion and the necessity of a buff/nerf pre-release.

if they nerf karolina thats genuinely dumb

Lots to unpack here as per usual:

1. You say that but you were the first to whine and cry when the WoW Abs Man fight was absolutely busted last year lmfao hypocrite much? Of course Serpent being a busted defender doesn't hurt you cause you're a casual player, but if you were actually competitive even if just a little you would not be saying that. Why don't you try climbing up to Arcane or Quantum for once and then tell us what your experience is with all these bs defenders with unavoidable damage?
2. You can design strong defenders and nobody will call them broken. Strong defenders: Photon, Thanos, Kindred, Red Skull, Dust, Onslaught, Arcade, Korg, Thing. BS defenders: Serpent, Bullseye, Capt. Britain, Dark Phoenix, Zola, Yelena, Nico, Domino, Attuma
3. Good luck learning how to counter the bs defenders mentioned in the video because newsflash if you don't have a champ who's straight up immune to their specific type of chip damage or who can prevent that chip damage by countering their abilities which you can't play around with pure skill only, you ain't countering **** you're just dead no matter how good you are. This wasn't a problem back when Attuma and Domino were the only ones but these days half the Meta defenders are bs defenders and they keep creating more. Chip damage is the laziest most mediocre way to create a hard defenders cause you can't do **** to stop that chip damage unless you drafted a hard counter.
4. The only way you look at issues is "hi I'm a noob so I speak from the perspective of a casual noob".
