Re: Awaken Hood or Jugg?
Hood benefits from it far more. (R4 Hood here)Curious on that R4. Mine is unduped rank 2 and I love his play style in the game. What will you say are some of his sleeper fights(fights that your opponent in BG thinks he wouldn't be able to take but he does)?
Re: Awaken Hood or Jugg?
Hood needs it so much. Juggs dupe can be useful, but hoods dupe gives him power control and much more utility.
Re: Awaken Hood or Jugg?
I wouldn’t have R4’d mine if he wasn’t awakened. Even more, he really does well when you can get him to sig 125 as it really helps his power steal. Played well (which I don’t always do to be clear) you can pretty much avoid being touched and can be getting to rapid fire SP2s. I use him pretty often if I get a bad draft and don’t have a hard counter - he can often do pretty well in quite a few fights. D Phoenix and a few other annoying defenders he does well with.Hood benefits from it far more. (R4 Hood here)Curious on that R4. Mine is unduped rank 2 and I love his play style in the game.

Re: Alliance War: Time to Switch to a 30-Node Map
Honestly either bring back big thing or don't touch this current map. They will find a way to completely mess up war making both previous formats look much better.Unfortunately, Kabam has to take action, or Alliance War will die out with the current map. I’m already seeing more and more players only doing 1-loyalty revive war. The “Big Thing” map isn’t a good solution either. As I’ve said, it’s a completely different game mode. Players who truly love Alliance War will end up giving up as well.
Re: battlegrounds is in its most unplayable state
Somewhat agree with OP. I’m in Mysterium with 11 R4s, for context. I’m happy paying money for special edition champs like Dark Phoenix and I do think they should be useful in BGs to make them valuable. I’m very happy with my HT and RG but don’t think they should’ve been locked to spenders (maybe 20k units is ok, not 39k).
Completely disagree with anyone crying about matchmaking in GC. Level playing field there, stop asking for an easy ride.
I took a break for a year and have more R4s than some folks who’ve consistently placed master in AW and celestial in BGs.
Spending should be on limited edition variants of characters (Dark Phoenix, WWX, World Breaker Hulk?, white iron fist lol). Rank up materials should be available to everyone so people can keep up. Obviously some rank up materials need to be in offers but it is a bit ridiculous atm. And that’s coming from someone who buys all those offers so I stand to benefit.

Re: Next Tech R3 - Who would be most useful...?
Don’t use the tech awakening gem yet. I agree that you should save it for sentinel or future ant man (maybe bastion if you pull him and really like him).
Rank up jack and Zola. Zola will help a lot on defense in battlegrounds. He’s a great stall defender and can take some health off if the opponent is impatient or inexperienced. Jack takes so many matchups and is super easy to play. I find myself drafting him a lot. He’s also a lot of fun.

Re: battlegrounds is in its most unplayable state
I did, I said something along the lines of "What the heck are you even doing here you lowbie worthless account, get out of my way and my radiance immediately!!"Did you complain when you're matched against someone weaker than you on your way to reaching 115 points in the gc?Eh it’s not that bad . Sure sometimes I lose like five matches in a row against crazy account but then I get a couple of easy ones . If can be a bit annoying but I regularly make it GC.
no im talking about IN gc lol, i barely was able to get 115 points because i had to keep playing dudes like this who just ban the only rank 4s i have while they have like 13. some how i still win but its just insufferable to play against over and over.
this isn’t even nearly as bad as it gets.
Re: Dark Phoenix Showcase Cheese
so what is the solutionAt this point, probably Kabam swapping out the champs with degen in their kits. The bug has been present for quite awhile and they couldn't solve it earlier. Probably best for them to take the easiest route, even if it means slamming Groot and Nightthrasher in there.
