My 5* Aegon is rank 1

My 6* Aegon is rank 1

A simple observation, he is not what you think he is at this point in game.

One can live without him.

You don't have to forfeit to farm points. Losses in GC count almost as much as wins in VT. Just play regularly and I'm sure the losses will come naturally. It's not a big deal either way, if you play enough you'll hit all the milestones. It won't be hard.

Exactly, or how they've been playing around with the root mechanic with Cassandra, evade with Spider Woman, and reversed controls with Jean. Hell even that node from last month's EQ with Silver Samurai that prevented you from moving away while he was throwing specials could make it into an actual defender kit, then there's also inoxerable, Karolina's and Leader's mechanic where you have to stay in a specific zone within the map. There are so many fun mechanics that could and should make it into defender kits that would still allow for a decent amount counterplay instead of this "I'm tanky I deal a ton of chip damage and I shut down your masteries so you better pray you draft one of my hard counters or you're just dead" bs they've been going for for the past year or two.

Yeah, that's the thing though. People don't adapt. If you take away Onslaught, Gentle, Jean, and Captain Britain. Then there are no counters to Yelena. They release more counters to defenders after they come out. It's in the video you didn't watch yet feel the need to comment on.

We ban cheaters in Battlegrounds every day, unfortunately there isn't a way to ban them before they cheat

Yeah it's totally GW's fault that a specific group of clowns foam at the mouth every time they see one of his comments. He's definitely the one derailing the thread man totally 😮.

The real reason everyone is saying the nerf will be to Karolina and not Nico is because Nico was designed by DLL and Karolina was not.

Kabam dare not touch their golden boys champions with a 10 foot pole in a negative direction but really dont care about touching any other designers champions.

Thats why it's pretty much unanimously agreed Karolina is going to be the one to get a tune down if either of them are at all

Once raids info was available I saw that immediately. Vanguard champions just do not have any built-in miss counter. Other roles have at least one (Jean / Serpent).

As my role always was Vanguard, but at the same time I was earning the most points and was defeating most annoying defenders on the map, I made a deal with Assault player and I took Jean.
That way we handled issue in our small group of 3 for me not having good champion to fight, but having ability to do that.

As for Lumatrix and Vanguards, the only thing you can do is to build some charges for other roles. Slowly but surely. I hope your battlegroup has some built-in miss counters, so they will be able to destroy this perfectly balanced 3 out of 5 easy defender.

IMO Vanguard now is the weakest role.
Also, Kabam kept Gentle on the map which is ridiculous. He shuts down half of the role boosts because they have crit rate. They reduced time for his anti-crit phase, but it is a **** as this ability does not have a cooldown.
Best role boosts, if you would like not to struggle on Gentle, is to choose role boost without crit rate.
