Are you using a controller or keyboard. Also are there any specific inputs that you feel are having a delay?

I haven't played PC version since it first released, but I remember my medium attacks having bad latency unless I used the D-pad on my controller to do the medium attack.

Yeah, i’m using a keyboard. I should try the controller again, but i’m pretty comfortable with the keyboard. And it’s as you said, the delay is mainly from the medium attack. I have a red switch keyboard (which means i don’t have to fully push the key down before it registers) but it still feels delayed.

The most noticeable aspect of this was deathless vision. I was using him in valiant eq, when i got the phase charge, i parried which activated it but the delay to attack the opponent was so significant that i could barely reach two furries and most often reach one. Typically on mobile i can get to three furies per phase charge.

Hi all,

This is my game background:

1. 10 years Iphone player inside APAC (not lived in Mainland China)
   
2. Always use one Iphone only and update from official Apple App store.
   
3. Have lived/studied/worked/traveled globally throughout my whole life (APAC and North America).
   

I created this post because I see lot of whining (抱怨) in many similar post.

As a result, these are the advice that I provided to other 简体中文 player as well since online people always have lot of regional/cultural misunderstanding well.

if you are NOT from Mainland China, here are the possible use cases that would possibly get you banned:

1) Idevice (e.g. Iphone, Ipad)- your device is jailbroken, you would still get banned even if you download/updated through Official Apple App Store.

2) Android smartphone- you download/install the apk file from 3rd party site (e.g. apkpure.com), you would get banned because the game must come from Google App Store.

If none of the above, submit ticket to Kabam support for review.

However, if you are from Mainland China, then the case would be more complicated:

1) Android-

the Google Play Store is indeed unavailable in China. This is due to censorship restrictions and regulations in place by the Chinese government. As a result, Chinese users typically rely on local alternatives like the Huawei AppGallery, or third-party app stores such as Tencent MyApp or 360 Mobile Assistant

Google Play 商店在中国确实无法使用。这是由于中国政府的审查限制和监管。因此，中国用户通常依赖于本地替代方案，例如华为应用市场，或第三方应用商店，例如腾讯应用宝或 360 手机助手。

Since mainland China does not have google play store access, if you install it from 3rd party site, it would get you banned.

2) Idevice (e.g. iphone)

Yes, "Marvel Contest of Champions" is available on the Apple App Store in China. The game is accessible within the Chinese App Store, and there are active advertisements for it in the region, according to Sensor Tower. Digital Creative also states that the Apple App Store is available in China and is actively used by millions

Then, if you really installed it through official Apple App store, you should submit a ticket to Kabam support for review.

Also, as per my understanding, people in Mainland China must use Game Accelerator (加速器) to play this game due to Chinese firewall. Every foreigner (perhaps even KABAM themselves) on this forum had cultural/regional misunderstanding about the term game accelerator, and they THOUGHT this is the mod app that can make the player has infinite health in the game. THIS IS WRONG. It’s a legal VPN that only works for certain connections of which the vast majority are for online games.

The reason that they named it as Game Accelerator is because if you mentioned the name of VPN online, that app would IMMEDIATELY banned by Chinese government. So, they named it as Game Accelerator.

Finally, I personally traveled to Mainland China for business/personal purpose. Once you got there, you cannot check your gmail, yahoo mail at all. I tried to use some well known VPN (e.g. Express VPN) and that does NOT work either. if you contact their CS support, they would say their usability is not stable inside China due to the firewall restriction and they provide me some refund on monthly fee (don't trust the express VPN ads online saying that they can be used in Mainland). So, the only way that you can get access to gmail, google, yahoo email in china: I ended up looking for VPN service inside telegram and find the legit Game Accelerator service in China (usually you pay for few days of that VPN service).

Just want to clarify the regional misunderstanding to everyone online.

P.S. Don't post your phone serial number online.. nobody want to see that in public.

Can we just kick them off the forums as well? Not only have a bunch of people cheated and been caught but now half the threads are about how they are so hard done by and that it was a mistake they got banned.

I hope you get banned soon for no reason! Let's see how much calm u stay! 🙂

You were banned for a reason.

Oh, I don't think so! Kabam will come up with some BS reason! Only time will tell!

There r YouTubers who r mercing openly and yet their accounts haven't been suspended! So it's no surprise that Kabam has actually messed up big time! 🙂

Saying that doesn't help your cause at all. It makes me thing you believe your ban is unjustified because you think other people deserve the ban more, not because you're innocent.

The only reason I'm not going ham on everyone claiming they are innocent is there is a tiny, tiny probability there are a few out there. I'm talking like one or two. Maybe a dozen, maybe. But the vast overwhelming majority were banned for the stated reasons correctly, whether anyone thinks unauthorized clients are a justified reason or not, whether they think the punishment fits the crime or not. They looked for unauthorized clients, found them, and took action. I'm pretty sure virtually everyone targeted was targeted because they did in fact do what the ban wave claims they did.

Why some players were only temp banned while others were perma banned I don't know, but history suggests a possibility. In the past players have been issued temp bans, and then upon further review those bans were escalated to permanent bans when the anti-cheat team poured over those accounts with a fine toothed comb. Something like that is probably happening here.

No one got banned for no reason. Either you got banned because you did what Kabam says you did, or there's something exceptionally weird about your account that makes it look like you did. If there was a problem with the bans that caused them to ban players just randomly and for no reason, we'd know it by now.

A person came forward on the Discord to say they were errantly banned and drew a lot of supporters who thought if anyone was innocent it was him. They subsequently stated they appealed their ban and Kabam reversed it. As it turns out, they were never banned and the ban was never reversed. They just said that to rabble rouse (and was banned from the Discord as a result).

This doesn't mean everyone is lying. But it says anyone could be lying.

Can we just kick them off the forums as well? Not only have a bunch of people cheated and been caught but now half the threads are about how they are so hard done by and that it was a mistake they got banned.

Yes, because Kabam is unerring and their software doesn't give any errors

Everybody makes mistakes. But if Kabam's software was banning people for literally no reason, meaning it was just banning players randomly, we would definitely know it by now. First, because of the high probability of baning a high profile player, and second because Kabam has been investigating reports of errant bans, and so far hasn't actually found any errors. So if errors exist, they have to be very rare, and if the ban algorithm is making very rare error they almost certainly have to be being generated for some very odd corner case reason that makes those accounts unique for a very specific reason. Widespread random errors would have been spotted by now.

To be honest, the more snarky comments like this I see, the less inclined I am to spend time trying to sort through this all. I've already spent more time looking, reading, and questioning, and so far the best I've come up with is wasting the devs time looking at a proven fraud.

I am someone that has assisted players getting erroneous bans reversed. I don't assume everyone is lying or wrong. However, I have also seen enough vacations to Mexico to know that the vast overwhelming majority of the time people are lying or mistaken or both. The bans I got reversed were not random, they both had very obvious reasons for triggering the bans. Bans from out of nowhere for no reason are vanishingly rare.

Hey , another question. Again, assuming they aren't lying (as I write this I wonder if the question is futile). There are claims of people who have multiple accounts and some getting banned and others not. And claiming it's on the same device. Is there any way that could happen?

Angela, Odin and whoever else is needed for a fight.

Can change depending on the hacks I get. A max sig, r4 Sisniter is also OP.

Talking about incursion squads, what your Mr. Sinister team? Really want to run him, just not sure what team & hacks work best

Depends on the hacks I get. But typically, I make him a horseman and keep Apoc on the team for synergy. If I have to remove Apoc, then I switch him back in for another star rarity level. Put Odin pre-fights on [rare times where you may not want to]

Regular Hacks: Degen hacks [increase duration and potency], stun +50%, increase attack by 4% per debuff

Boss hacks: Second chance [when it activates, let them just hit you. If you get a crit against you, you'll probably heal to max health], increase debuff by 30% and reinforcement hacks by 50%, the two that deal degen [heavy attack and special attack I think]
@Giantwalrus56 [and for your venom team, don't forget about Knull's synergy. Coupled with Second chance, he is virtually unkillable].
