it’s not about dexterity if they are trying to parry…

OP, it’s possible that this a weird bug but my guess would be a skill issue. Not trying to knock your skills, just pointing out that it’s really hard to parry his projectiles if you get rooted at close range. Might seem like you’re doing it correctly but your timing is slightly off. Personally, I would block the first two hits of the sp2 projectiles and try to parry the third. See how that goes.

I never saw anywhere that it was officially announced that they were to be added today. Just sometime in December. I have been trying to get an answer for weeks but never saw one from an official source. Have 34 to open and will wait.

I opened 54 and there were none of the newly added champs to be found aside from those that exited the titan pool.

So it updated with the titan champs, but not with the other groups that were supposed to be joining.

the real question is when are they going to release the 5* locked champs, other than magik getting a rework

Prob onslaught imo, one of the best champs in the game, and phenomenal dual threat in BGs and AW

Other option are bastion and okoye, they output monstrous damage

Did you buy those units ? How come you spent on J4 and CW and still have 100k?

They also said after that they want to improve the crystal opening experience so something to look forward to

The premise of your comment is: some Marvel characters are more popular than others, and Kabam should lean into that sentiment by emphasizing them in MCOC. The biggest problem with that idea is that Marvel itself would oppose it.

I suspect most people assume that Marvel itself would also want to emphasize their most popular characters in the games based on their IP. But the opposite is closer to the truth. Marvel can make a Spiderman game any time it wants. Marvel can make an X-Men game any time it wants. But Marvel owns a huge IP containing tens of thousands of characters, and it is counter-productive for them to emphasize the few dozen that are the most popular. That would actually make their portfolio less valuable, not more valuable.

Any game or other work based on the Marvel IP has to utilize their most popular characters because those are the signature pieces of art: they uniquely identify something as a Marvel property. But it is in Marvel's best interests to use those works to showcase the other 49,990 characters as well. My understanding is that while Marvel doesn't directly dictate which characters Kabam puts into the game, they do strongly encourage (for some definition of "encourage") Kabam to leverage the diverse portfolio of options.

By the same token, they can't just make all the most popular characters "OP" to the neglect of the others. This would also be against Marvel's best interests to suggest there's just a few important Marvel characters and the rest are unimportant trivialities.

Once upon a time, Wolverine was some random side character; his first ever limited series comic book was in the bargain bin for 25 cents. The MCU started with Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man because Marvel didn't have the rights to make movies based on their most popular characters at the time. Marvel doesn't know who the next Wolverine or Blade or Iron Man or Deadpool will be, but it behooves them to not just focus on who's popular now.

Because you match against anyone who is in your tier that is paying at the same time as you are.
