@BringPopcorn Glazed? I don’t see any c…. nevermind. I thought you were calling me a doughnut. If you were just calling me a glazer… then you’d be correct. But you could be calling me both!

If I misunderstood your doughnut then my
bad. But if i’m right….

I wasn't calling you anything. I was calling Patriot a glazed donut...

@Buttehrs Leave it to buttehrs to piggyback off of another persons potential light insult… the most inconsistent yet consistent hater on forums. Pick a lane son.

He think he tuff guy on the forums.

I hope I pull a Patripapi soon. He got that Dominican aura

Well that was xenophobic...
Guardians guardians!!! 🥀🥀🥀

Over the next few days we will have the opportunity to vote on Winter Soldier (I respect the attempt) Black Widow (who already has two other powerful variants, plus BW would likely be an evade based defender) and then the obvious main headliners, GR and Loki.

Now I’m not going to argue against Ghost Rider being a solid pick. I get that he looks awesome, has great comic book lore, and even though we already have two other Ghost Riders in the game (one of whom is a mystic that would likely clear the exact same content), none of these are relevant counter arguments. Nobody is going to say “Hey let’s have LESS Hercules and Hyperion attackers!” Because these champs are fun.

But… buffing Loki would give Kabam the opportunity to undo a lot of the damage that has been caused by the overpowered and annoying defenders amongst the Cosmic, Mutant, AND mystic classes. Think about a champion that we have used in niche situations to take down horrible bosses in story content just because of his abilitiy to weaponize the nonsense of the AI right back against it. I think it’s especially important considering the fact that Loki is so directly paired with the Serpent and Enchantress (two of the most controversial champions that have EVER been released).

One of the things that make these new defenders so difficult to CONTROL is the fact that power and buff stealing has never been given a modernized overhaul mechanic.

Rogue had the chance of being the first OG character with the ability to rip the annoying buffs and passives off of the faces of her opponents last year but she lost. Doctor strange actually lost before she did. Now we have the opportunity to request the literal “God of Stories” who could easily have access to ability accuracy reduction, stagger, frost and coldsnap immunity, and most importantly the ability to steal UNIQUE buffs… so once again we’re being asked to vote between the sure thing (Ghost rider becoming the next purgatory, a top 12 mystic attacker with strong DoT and a bunch of immunities) which is fair.

Or maybe we can take more of a risk and actually vote for a champion that would be designed to take a complicated defender and for once give the player the ability to control them, bending them to our will, ignoring the unblockable-unstoppable-unphasable-unavoidable nonsense that has plagued the champ deck for the last 2 years. I guess we’ll see what happens next.
