Best Of

To add to this, you seem to be confused in your previous response, this was never meant to be a buff to OG Blade this was meant to be a What If Blade was a mystic champ essentially, so yes naturally a bunch of things got removed and he received others that align better with mystic abilities. They axed the purify and gave him atrophy, they axed the bleeds and gave him degen, they axed the aar and gave him a solid nullify instead, they added more regen while blocking to deal with current cosmic threats etc.

If you want a Blade buff then this thread should be about OG Blade being outdated, the SF version is fine for what it’s supposed to be based on how they handled the Deathless chase, now we wait and see what the synergies actually do because the synergies played a big part when it came to Deathless champs and it will be the exact same deal with SF champs.

The game is dying

I find myself playing less and less because how hard it's become

Calling out players directly in the forums in this way is strictly prohibited, and thus I am forced to remove the identifying content from the thread. Remember we can't verify the claims of anonymous posters, and we should not immediately assume that the target of every reported issue is in fact guilty.

However, I have forwarded copies to Kabam for their further review. If there is any evidence of the wrong-doing being described here by the player in question, they should be able to verify that with data they possess and we don't. In the future, players should open support tickets to report such issues, and if support fails to respond satisfactorily they should escalate privately to a community representative (in this case, Rex or Pinwheel). Note that support cannot generally say what, if any disciplinary action is taken upon any other player. They are barred from doing so by policy.

yes, you are.

I don’t really care about most of the conversation happening here about SF Blade being good or mid or bad, we’ll see how good he is when we can actually play with him. I do agree that SF Blade was never supposed to be a 100% upgrade over his regular counterpart, where he does everything regular Blade does but better. Anyone expecting that, or even a SF Blade that had every ability regular Blade does to varying degrees, was setting themself up for disappointment.

On that topic of regular vs. SF Blade, though, what does immediately disappoint me is that SF Blade has NOTHING with regular Blade. The 4 regular Deathless all had unique synergies with their regular champion counterparts that were neat bonuses (Deathless Thanos did not have a synergy with regular Thanos, but I’m willing to give them a pass on that one since he’s built to have very powerful synergies with the rest of the Deathless and regular Thanos was frankly beyond saving via synergy). SF Star-Lord didn’t have a special unique synergy with regular Star-Lord alone, but he did have a synergy with him regardless that offered him something, however small. SF Blade has zero synergy bonuses with regular Blade though, not even a generic +5% Attack boost or something, which feels like a waste. Throw those Blade loyalists a bone, it’s not gonna make him break the meta again, I promise.

You don't want something fun, you wanted something groundbreaking. Judging by your profile pic, I might even go as far as to guess that you have some personal feelings about this

Thing is that Kabam proposed introducing a Blacklist into BGs a while back and people seemed to be overwhelmingly against it, and unfortunately this seems to be the rare instance where Kabam was actually cowed by such negativity bc I haven’t heard a peep about it since.

Yea, I agree with Herbie. If you needed 30 revives for Ordeal which is really doable under 10 revives with the champs we have now, then you'll definitely need to prepare a Bong amount of revives for Epoch.

If you have explored Epoch, you'll have an idea. Better check out the guides to plan a real good team and lessen revives use. Ares' diffs from player to player. Some can get him in under 10, some 30. If you fought him before, you'll have an estimate.
