Dear Kabam ,
I dont know what fix you have put but I am unable to swipe back at the start of the fight .
6* Corvus is taken out by the boss in 4 hits on master mode . How fair is that ? I almost broke my phone because of the frustration to take down a master boss .
For all who say this week has been the most easy UC - maybe DH is cooperating with you and is throwing his specials at the start but not for me . That's also fine , but I am unable to even swipe my champs back .
Kabam , I dont know why you dont want the community to enjoy the game . The content with rewards is directed towards the end-game players .

Riiiiiiiiiight. When the lag doesn't kill you first couple of seconds, you get to parry and 3 hit your way to victory. "Fun and interactive."
Edit: just realised I can't post vids from my phone but I can still send a screenshot
My strategy wasn't to parry and hit, I'd just bait sp1s and fight normally.
The fun and interactive bit was the first 30 seconds where you have to play your way out the corner, and manage his power
I was just giving my opinion on the fight, I don't know what I said to earn 2 flags
Imagine $30 just for a single run for the lag.
This month I have been stuck on the last Master map for over a week. I still have 3 paths left to explore and I can’t do it. I get to the boss with 4 or 5 full health champs and he kills me in a matter of seconds most times. Sometimes I get lucky and he throws the L2 quickly, I dodge it, wait out stealth mode, and then beat him down with basic attacks and only bait the L1 to avoid putting him into any other modes.
Sometimes. Not usually.
Most of the time I get caught by the first punch he throws while I’m trying to dash back and one combo takes me from 100% health to dead.
Maybe Uncollected throws the special at the beginning pretty quickly, but in Master he holds onto it, so making his basic attacks unblockable means you basically can’t do anything except get killed or push him to an L3 if he decides not to throw the L2. Ridiculous.
I’ve tried using Iceman to absorb an early hot. I’ve tried using Daredevil to beat him down while in stealth mode. I’ve tried power controllers (this is a terrible strategy, by the way, because knocking him down with a special puts him into shield mode with the most ludicrous autoblock in the game and any power lock you put on him gets cleansed when he stands up).
Usually it doesn’t matter who I bring anyway because I’m dead before stealth mode is even active.
I have spent hundreds of units on this fight. I’ve beaten him 3 times this week and that’s all. I have not and will not ever spend a single dime on this game because of garbage like this. It’s a blatant cash grab.

I have tried all the strategies. Daredevil to hit him in stealth mode, Iceman to survive a hard hit at the beginning, power controllers — none of it works because he kills me before it matters. I can start with a full roster of champs and end up completely wiped out before he’s even at 90% health thanks to his ridiculous regen, unblockable basic attacks, and free L2 right off the bat.
This is a bad fight that is not in line with the rest of the Master difficulty.
Most of the time I end up getting caught by some unblockable basic attack, often the first punch of the round, while I try dashing back straight out of the gate. The Master AI is less aggressive than Uncollected so he just holds on to the L2 sometimes and never throws it. My options are either get hit by an unblockable basic or push him to an L3 and take that instead.
Cash grab.
You have to admit, the amount of player backlash on reddit and the mcoc forums have been enormous compared to previous months. This shouldn't be a regular business practice on Kabam's part.
Noticed that it also occurs when fighting Dormammu (AQ) and Red Hulk (Duel).
The lag may be different for everyone but in terms of difficulty, what I meant by UC being easier for me was because he threw his first SP2 way easier than in master. I’m sure that may not be universal, but all 7 runs of it he never once gave me a ridiculous time with that first SP2.
I don't think you understand the effect this EQ has had. It's not just your usual "Not all content is made for everyone." situation. The amount of people hitting brick walls is large. It's a combination of the lag issues AND the degree of challenge. It would be highly challenging with perfect controls. People with higher Ranked 5*s and 6*s are dying out on Master. While I agree that Energy is cheaper than Revs, let's not minimize the situation. It's altogether a miss.
