BGs: What is an intercept?
Mind you—it’s always quick enough to stand up the defender right after a knockdown and jump straight into a combo.
But it isn’t when the attacker completes anything less than a 4-hit
combo plus backdraft intercept.
Since there’s ebb and flow protection—and since intercepting grants the attacker a fury—this is fairly important.
I don’t mean to imply it’s intentional. I’ve come to the belief that these kinds of interactions are likely because the game has just gotten away from the
team. I would imagine there’s so much code on code on code few have any idea where the operative place to begin addressing issues might lie.
Doesn’t change the fact that it is uber-frustrating, however.

Re: Congratz Kabam, ruining the Monthly Event Quest has driven my Brother to Quit the Game
I am not telling anyone to tough up, its just is what it is.
The new EQ has not been well received because its beyond stupid from Kabam to put 15 fights with the same old unimaginative nodes making a bunch of champs useless Its not because its hard, its because champs are supposed to trigger a beneficial node and a lot of champs can't do it.
They took all this time with the prestige based rewards, change the whole way the game runs with a prestige 30 and all the sparks and glitter and left the same old nodes from what? 5 years ago? So the solution is not tuning down or making it easier, is making new nodes that will benefit MORE CHAMPS, making the paths easier.
Not a personal jab, I promised myself I wouldn't attack you on a personal level anymore, and try to keep conversations as civil as possible even if they are heated; but are we seriously going to base the argument on the number of people complaining? We both know that people will complain about anything and everything in this game.
Re: Summoners Fest and Why I quit MCOC
sorry to read that @Freskin . Sending you and your son a big virtual hug from Oz. I am one of those people that will say hi to strangers and start a conversation but even my family gets embarrassed by me. The gaming community is mostly introverts and coupled with the stress of running the event, I can imagine they are also under the pump. Hope you can forgive them in time.
Take care, stay safe and hope you at least check in with the community every so often.

Re: When can the livestreams be rewatched?
Hey folks! Pinwheel reporting live from an airport outlet. We're working on compressing the replay of Day 1 to a manageable size. The plan is to get that up and running on a loop by the end of today and have that run through the end of the day on Friday. Apologies for the delay but we've been working with some pretty large file sizes (8+ hours day 1 after all). Thank you for your patience, almost there!
Re: Summoners Fest and Why I quit MCOC
Hey dude, sorry to hear you had this experience. I tried to smile at & shake every person’s hand that I came into contact with between all the running around & hosting - talking with all our players there was my favorite part of the event.
Feel free to reach out if you would like to have a chat or if there was anything you were wanting to talk about 🙂
Re: Summoners Fest and Why I quit MCOC
Oh gosh, this is a new perspective I would never imagined.
However thing turn out, just want to send best wishes to you and your son. 😊
Summoners Fest and Why I quit MCOC
Over the years, MCOC continued to provide that vital escape. My health is poor; a rare degenerative bone disease has left me in constant pain and severely limited my mobility. Chronic pain is isolating, but MCOC has always offered me a lifeline to the outside world. It allowed me to be part of something when being present anywhere else was extremely challenging, thanks to the overwhelmingly safe and supportive community amongst summoners.
I'm a generally average player, one of the thousands who have sunk thousands of dollars into MCOC. I'm no one special. I do my part in my alliance, clear basic content, occasionally run a Gauntlet, and grind Arena for units.
Travel is incredibly challenging for me; it guarantees excessive pain for the entire duration. I have to truly commit to a trip. But when Summoners Fest 2025 was announced, I saw it as a pilgrimage. I knew the immense physical cost, but I believed it would be worth it to nerd out for a couple of days, have some polite conversations, and interact with other human beings in person.
I was thoroughly disappointed by the in-person experience at Summoners Fest 2025—and I don't mean the streaming content. The Kabam employees seemed desperate to avoid making eye contact. In eight hours, I had a grand total of two polite interactions. I saw every Kabam employee dozens of times. Not a single one even acknowledged my existence. Zero smiled and said “hey thanks for coming to summoners fest. I see this as the smallest polite interaction possible. I didn't want to know any secrets or even complain. I walked past Dave and Mike 50 times. Zero times did I get even a welcome smile from either.
Meanwhile, I watched them having large, enthusiastic interactions with other attendees: content creators and brawl contestants. The contrast was stark.
The overall experience was so unfriendly and isolating that I cut my trip short and drove home instead of attending on Sunday. Today, I quit my alliance and deleted the game.
It wasn't a huge crowd; anyone in attendance saw me dozens of times, hobbling around with a friendly smile. This trip carried an immense physical toll, endured purely for connection. A few genuine, polite interactions would have made all the difference.

Re: Contest of Champions 2025 Q3 earnings report
To be honest, most people these days ignore you for the same reason I do: you just aren’t interesting.
However, this was just so funny I had to comment. And believe me, I’m going to share. Contrary to your belief, I don’t think anyone at Kabam actually pays you any attention, and none of them thought you were scouting for a potential lawsuit.
But they are gonna after today, I can assure you.

Re: Contest of Champions 2025 Q3 earnings report
Neither will anyone else on this app. We're grown adults arguing over a mobile video game made up of cartoons from comic books. To the real world, we're all weird and nerds.

You can't be this serious. The only people who act like you're acting over the internet, are insecure man-children.
