Best Of

Outside where I died with 0 bars couple of times... he is averaging 10-12 runs.

R2 wong with small boosts.

If they want to change something, they should have done it when Deathless Thanos was released at the very latest, NOT over 2 whole years later after daunteds introduction, this is a complete failure of communication and it is deceitful to leave an interaction for so long knowing there is an issue with it and not letting the community know. This is only a change because it has a negative effect on the player, as far as I'm aware they haven't changed bleed potency nodes to follow this new formula, champs like omega red would take a huge amount of damage from bleeds on such nodes, why isn't it also multiplicative in that case? If you want to set this standard for something it needs to be equal and NOT just a negative effect on the player. No one cares about one sasquatch interaction as a "positive" for this, that just seems like trying to find something to calm the fire. It is their game, they can change whatever, but do not expect players to be happy after changing something 2 years later with no prior warning. The only thing we've ever heard about this is from DLL's Silver Samurai spotlight where he points the bypassing protection as a POSITIVE, he did not say it was bugged, nor say it shouldn't work that way, he specifically points it out for being a good feature about daunted. This isn't DLL's fault, this is a lack of communication and changing things just because they feel like it and can't find another way to fix something else they broke.

I agree with all of this

The real take.

I don’t doubt that this is just a bug fix to them, not a nerf. The way Daunted + Protection used to work was, frankly, unintuitive, and as a result I doubt most people even knew this was a thing. But the end result is still that several champions lost potency in certain valuable matchups, and the fact that a change with implications as large as this has mysteriously missed the patch notes when Kabam puts out far more meaningless bug fixes and tweaks in there? If they weren’t intentionally trying to hide the change, then that sure is one hell of a coincidence that this is the one fix that accidentally fell through the cracks in the communication pipeline.

i think you’re missing the point tbh.

Before Battlegrounds existed the measuring stick was usually AW,..that could transfer over to being useful in EQ and story mode.

Battlegrounds is just one aspect of the game, but imo it is the best mode to judge both offensive and defensive value that can transfer over to the majority of content in Mcoc.

It is the most recent and relevant “measuring tool”, ..the Bgs brain rot tern is meant to cast insult that folks are single minded when ranking up,..or not thinking much at all,.,when in actuality it’s usually the opposite ,..in many cases they are absolutely considering those champions worth in many platforms of the game.

Not saying Kabam making a change it a niche situation. I mean using Daunted to bypass protection is the niche situation. And Did you read the post by Kabam about the situation? They are working on the fix for Valk and Hulkling, this fix was related to that and wasn’t intended to go live yet. It wasn’t some shadow nerf.

If it has worked before, it can work again. Remember 12.0? Remember the BGs issues everyone had last year?

Good luck trying to boycott. All the low IQ FOMO spenders will keep spending. The game will never improve as long as they exist.

AI is the issue. And the dropped frames/lag/how quickly they get back up to throw their specials. Fights are honestly fine
