Re: Repeatedly screwed on the edge of tier 1

I'm not 100% sure how matchmaking is calculated. But what I do know from my experience leading a tier 1 ally is that your place on the leaderboard is strongly correlated with who you match. And war rating is seemingly not correlated. And if you don't already know, your place on the leaderboard is determined by your season points (deaths, defender diversity, and exploration) multiplied by your tier multiplier. And that big tier multiplier leads to most alliances in the same tier being close to each other on the leaderboard, aside from tier 1 and some of the really low tiers.

There are a lot of wars where you match the alliance directly in front of you or behind you on the leaderboard. And most other wars, the alliance you match is pretty close, like within 10 places of you.

Another thing that backs this up is at the beginning of an alliance war season in tier 1, when there is no leaderboard, a p2 tier 1 ally could end up matching a masters tier 1 ally with 500 more war rating than them. So if war rating itself was a large contributing factor to matchmaking, then these infamous beginning of the season tier 1 deathmatches wouldn't be happening.

However, these tier 1 deathmatches do not happen when you're not in tier 1. The first war of the season you'll get matched against an ally in the same tier (correct me if I'm wrong). So I do believe tier does have a role in matchmaking, at least at the beginning of the season. War rating itself, likely does not.

Re: Why is it bad to fight when being carried in incursions?

You didn't follow directions. I have screenshots of all the stuff for this very reason, where I try to help people and then they come and 'complain'. There are so many nuisances to being carried. If you ask for help, you should follow it. Obviously, you needed help, but decided to not listen. My time is the most important, and it's annoying that people don't follow them. Most on the forums know that I used to do carries and had a sign up, but then stopped for this very reason (over 300+ saga and special carries, not counting regular).

You also can't 'accidently' take two fights. You can always exit out from the fight strat screen, and even if you somehow did do one fight by accident, you definitely can't do two.

As for your specific one, the most annoying was that you were told do not move for zones 12-15 unless I tell you to. You did. When we started the incursions, I told you that you most likely would not fight at all, and only if I told you. You did two fights. It is irrelevant if you died or not. The hacks I told you to get at the very beginning are optimized so that you will die the few/rare times I actually do need you to fight. You fighting lowered your champs health, and while it may not seem like much, it is. I've had to have a 45k account kill off a zone 15 boss with linked nodes before, and if he had been missing even 4% more of his health, he wouldn't have succeeded.

You also didn't message me on LINE when you started another zone, nor message in game , which was another thing you were told to do.

There are other reasons as well why you aren't suppose to move and fight, but I won't go into them as it's a moot point now.

As you saw from your original post, no one carries. You MAY find a partner, but everyone always wants a carry. Discord is worse, so at least there is that. But everyone on the forums most likely knows you were talking about me so you might as well just have signed my name.

Re: Back Issues #4 (Moon Knight), 1* Hulk, why ??

It was for the second from the left path in the last quest iirc. It might have been caustic temper

Re: Back Issues #4 (Moon Knight), 1* Hulk, why ??

Just took a look into the past and I was correct. This path used to be bleed vul and caustic temper. Who knows when it was changed, but Hulk was absolutely necessary once upon a time.

20/20 Path fights Solo and 0 Revives:Hero Ordeal Run

Hey guys sorry it's been long and late but this is the team I used for hero ordeal run in which I got all the 20/20 path fights solo and only died to boss once but didn't used a single revive in this quest at all
AlSo I used 1 hour boost to make it quick

My team for the hero ordeal was
Jean r4 sig 71
Kushala r4 sig 160
Nico r4 sig 80
Spider Woman r4 sig 200
Starky r4 sig 80

Doom- Kushala(Solo)
Try using kushala the normal way and do your sp2 into sp1 rotation try to kill him as quickly as possible before you die because of glancing. Because of extra Ability accuracy you can bypass glancing but still take some damage back.
Other than that easy fight

Terrax- Kushala(Solo)
Same sp2 into sp1 rotation high sig kushala will melt him quickly
Very easy fight

Vision-Spider Woman(Solo)
Use the ant man relic with taunt rune to make this fight doable
With taunt vision will use special so it is easy fight

Modok- Jean grey(Solo)
I used jean and stack neuroshock and used sp1 mostly to get advantage of node so it's easy fight as well

Spider Ham- Starky(Solo)
Starky destroy ham just get to 10 poise charges and spam your sp1 and counter ham sp1 with heavy or you can push ham to sp2 and hope Starky evades the special
Very easy fight

Wolverine Weapon X- Nico(Solo)
Nico poison reduces weapon X healing so I used her and spam sp2 first then used sp1 rest of the fight which counter his unstoppable as well so it was never a problem.Too easy

Thing- Spider Woman(Solo)
Just use normal sp2 into sp1 rotation but manage the rock stacks and you should be fine she would quickly end this fight.Easy fight

Korg- Jean grey(Solo)
A little bit difficult but awaken jean make this fight a lot easier.jist parry and do LLLML combo while doing heavy in between just do normal sp1 into sp2 rotation.Hard fight though

Dragon Man- Starky(Solo)
Starky taunt help yo bait special and dragon man is robot so sp2 shock damage gets a boost so it's a very easy fight

Black panther Civil war- Nico(Solo)
Use the buff immunity pre fight and use sp1 first so you can bypass unstoppable and try to push bpcw to sp2 then use heavy a lot in this fight without parry in this fight and spam sp2 then use sp1 later.A moderate fight

Nightcrawler- Spider Woman(Solo)
She counter evade when opponent has a fumble debuff on them so he bypass the most difficult threat in this fight do your normal sp2 into sp1 rotation while making sure opponent has fumble debuff on them. Very Easy fight

Spidergwen- Spider Woman(Solo)
Again just after opponent get fumble debuff just don't parry in this fight at all same sp2 into sp1 rotation. Very easy fight

Domino- Kushala(Solo)
You might take some critical failure damage but still it's okay and I like to do sp2 into sp1 rotation.A very Easy fight

Mojo- kushala(Solo)
Kushala quickly destroy this fight with sp2 into sp1 rotation but you have to quickly do this fight before mojo starts degen you. Little difficult fight

Ibom- Nico(Solo)
I used the pre fight which makes nico poison immune and I used the pre fight which inflict incinterate instead of poison.
This strategy makes this fight a joke let ibom use sp1 and you use sp3 as it has increase damage with number of debuffs on opponent.
Or you can also spam sp2 incinterate will still do good damage and use sp1 to burst the opponent down. Mind the block damage too as ibom will have so many debuffs . But okay fight

Apocalypse- Spider Woman(Solo)
Use sp2 into sp1 rotation and push apoc to sp2 other than that very easy fight

Sasquatch- Spider Woman(Solo)
Same sp2 into sp1 rotation but manage the power snack damage ns you will be fine power stings will destroy sassy .Very easy fight

Killmonger- Jean grey(Solo)
Stack neuroshock via light attack but killmonger will gain power as well so manage this only and use sp1 into sp2 rotation.Should be easy fight

Void- Jean grey(Solo)
I used jean grey and stack neuroshock via sp1 and try to kill void asap before he kill you with the debuffs launch sp2 if you have some neuroshock. Very hard fight

Nick fury- Jean grey(Solo)
Because jean is Mutant the threat of nick become unblockable is very less just follow the same sp1 into sp2 rotation. Very easy fight

Thanos boss- Kushala and Starky
I tried kushala first because she is bleed immune for second phase but I died in last phase so I finished with Starky

So this is how I did my ordeal hero run in 0 revive and solo the all path fights.Keep in mind I used the potions to get all the solo in path fights as I always went with full hp in all my fights and using boost was nice as well

Thanks for reading all this i will try to post my villian run asap

But if you have any questions regarding this or any other questions you can ask me I will try to help you guys
