Potentially a Dark Phoenix counter as well

It's official. Your just stupid.

Even the new Ascension "carrot" makes it worse. Enjoy ranking up champions for the game modes you like? Well those ranks ups will officially become outdated so that you have the pleasure of "chasing" ascension materials champions you would have never chosen to rank up.

And its not just ranking up for power levels - players like myself rank up champions because we like the comic book character / playstyle. At a certain point to ensure the game doesn't become a slog due to increasing HP and attack ratings, I will be forced to rank and ascend Storm Pyramid X instead of the unascendable Storm.

Because everyone knows that we want Kabam to dictate who to rank up.

She kinda does look like a defender to me just taking a look at this clip. She has a forcefield like Jean, plus some sort of “Goblin pit” area of effect on the floor that deals damage.

Also to add to the last part where I mention Strange, Nico and Pav. I'm sure some will be thinking "well if they continue to design attackers like that then Serpent and Dark Phoenix will eventually fall off and lose value just like Korg did" and that's a valid concern. However, the game has evolved so much since 2018 and we have so many new mechanics that it would be just as easy to create defenders Pav, Nico, Strange etc can't take/have a really hard time taking. Prime example, Heimdall who's joining the Titan soon and will be 100% immune to Nico's shenanigans it will literally be an instant loss, Hulkling already makes using Pav a little stressful (can't parry have to intercept only) and he gets slowed down quite a bit (can't power steal), Dark Phoenix shuts down Dr Strange pretty hard neutralizing her immortality just makes it trigger as a passive and you take all the nova flame damage. Anyways, the whole point is there are ways, I really hope they get their **** together soon.
