can you nerf iron man iw?

It's totally imba especially as war boss. This pg isn't comparable by far with others it's annoying.

An alternative would be learning how to counter him.. with someone like Hyperion or Corvus.. or letting someone in your bg who knows how to fight him have a go...

Possibly you're not as great as your greatness thought, your greatness.

instead of asking for ridiculous nerfs why don't you utilize that time to practice attacking imiw?

He was hard when first released but I love seeing him now. However, korg is still a little annoying so let’s nerf him instead. And nerf Darkhawk. Haven’t actually faced him in aw yet but he was a pain in eq. And I don’t like having to bring a poison immune for my line, so can we change that too.

I would jump for joy if I see him as a war boss. Lol

Dshu

Love seeing him as a war boss easy one shot. Korg is still annoying can we just require he sits the bench

Manup456

If you figure out how to counter his heavy with your heavy he's easy

kfd2010

He's still tough, but he's doable for pretty much every character, obviously some much better than others.

I prefer someone like him who you can out skill than those who have unavoidable damage no matter what.

No. Git gud.

I was joking. Thought it was blatantly obvious by the context but I guess some people need it said.

Instead of telling OP to just git gud, how about we direct them to some resources how how to actually counter IMIW? Asking for me, who also hates fighting IMIW.

I tend to fight him at least once in every war, often on node 38 (Aggression: Armor).

Under normal circumstances, just keep your eye on his armor passives. Try to parry him. If you can get a stun and he has less than 3 armor passives, go in for a combo. If his armor passives ever get up to 3, break off your attack so you don't get parried. He can auto-block/parry when he has 4 armors.

If you can't parry stun him, just hold block. IMIW throws heavies A LOT. Use this to your advantage. When you see him dip back to start a heavy, dash back out of the way to avoid the Unibeam (chest blast). During this dodge, check his passives. If he has less than 3, go in for a combo. If he has more than 3, use a heavy of your own so you don't get parried. You can intercept his heavy after the Unibeam shot but before he comes in with the blade arm. Any champ can do this.

Once he's down to 20%, be careful. When he gets to 15%, he no longer needs more than a single armor passive to parry you. He'll gain 4 instantly, but they will fall off. From this point on, only attack with heavy attacks or L3's. He also gains power on his own when he has armor and his health is this low, so get ready to dodge a lot of L1's. They are easy to dodge, just practice. Let him tucker himself out. When the armor falls off, he'll come back in for another attack. Just block, wait for the heavy, and intercept with your own heavy until he's dead.

On aggression: armor nodes, the same applies, only he'll likely have more than 4 armor for most of the fight. Best to abandon regular combos and stick to heavies for most of this fight.

Top champs for him are Proxima, Corvus, Void, Medusa, and Hyperion, though any champ can take him down. I used Winter Soldier a few times in Variant difficulty.

He’s easy. Learn to fight him

KattohS

When I first started playing I was for nerfs. But now unless its nerfing a bug I don't support it.

Each summoner should enjoy terrorizing the battle realm like the first persons that got them.

As mentioned above learn to play him.

DRTO

Literally any champ can kill him if you know how to fight him. I take path 7 in war so I usually have him more than once on my path and I've probably only died twice to him in the past 3 seasons of war. True strike and heavy attacks are your friends when fighting him. I always like using void or coruvs.

Another thing you can do as he gets low is build up to SP3, and then use it when he has no armor charges. His armor will reduce damage by a lot so it is a waste to hit him with SP3 while he has armor charges, but since SP3 is unblockable you can safely use it and deal a significant amount of damage when he gets low. It is one way to finish the fight if you know how much damage you can deal with it; at least it can reduce the amount of heavy-counters you need to dance around with.

DrPepper_75

I like seeing him also, he is placed so much in war. I’m am used to him know his sp1 is easy for me now to evade.

Strikerrx8

I just r4 my 5 star so dont nerf him his basic hits so weak as it is

My strategy for IMIW is look for the heavy attack, retreat and after wards charge him for combo hits. Also, once he fills 1 bar of power, keep it distance and try to draw out the SP1. Either dexterity or block. Just repeat this and u should be ok.

MaatMan

whee is the fun in nerfing him???
i used to suck so badly at him...
now i dont...
cus i was forced to fight him more...

my war attack team includes elektra and caiw at 4/55.
both are good for countering him.

Elektra can reduce the chance that he triggers an armor which is very helpful and has a decnt range on her heavy.
also deals good bleed on her sepcials if he has no armor.
and has built in assasin for killing him at the end.
so with her i bait his heavies and sp1....
then around 18% i fire my sp3. (when he has no armor)
if that doesnt kill him the bleed after it sure will.

CAIW well this dude has monster specials...
regardless wat method still try for parries. even if you parry his repulsor he wont get stunned but u get a charge.
method 1- SP1 stops defensive abilities so cant be autoblocked and deals bleed. so very very handy to use sp1 alot. always keep sp1 on hand and u can use it when u need knowing he cant autoblock it.
method 2 - save sp2 or sp3. till near the end. when he is around 20 something percent intercept him with a heavy for fury buff. hope u have 5 charges and fire ur sp2 or ur sp3.
the damage will almost always kill him....
if not he will be close to dead.
just dance with him a little till u get a sp1 and then you know he cant autoblock that....

Savio444

How about they buff him instead!

Tarzan041

No champ should ever be nerfed.

ShoNoMercyxx

Please nerf him

DrBruceWayne

I recently got a 4* Corvus, he crushes IMIW.

Think positive, try to defeat IMIW through daily practice (dual target: wick2.0). Use your top champ at first, then gradually switch to 3* champs. When you get used to the fight pattern, IMIW is not that difficult indeed.

SiriusBreak

Took a little practice, but he's really not that bad. When he 1st dropped, yeah he was annoying. I STILL SAY the interaction between Yondu and IWIM is broken (IWIM armor up, bleed immune. Yaka arrow inflicts armor break on bleed immune targets. Does NOTHING to IWIM). I'd be happy to see that small thing fixed. But he doesn't need a nerf. Calling for nerfs typically equates to players admitting they haven't learned to deal with said champ yet. Practice makes perfect. Don't give up, just keep trying. Use those 5 free duels daily to learn how to counter your headache champs. Eventually you'll snicker when you run into them on the AW grid.

I say nerf him by removing the abilities to parry when auto-block triggers.

You can beat him with any champion. It just depends on how you play the game.
