What are some of the worst node designs in mcoc?

CodeOmega

In my opinion:
No retreat- forces you to take block damage or face a powerful degeneration if you dash back twice while the timer is active
Caustic temper- forces you to bring a champ that is both immune to poison and gains a fury buff. Mostly due to the sinister in 6.2.2.
Strength in numbers- gives you a major attack depletion for each KO member of your team. Forces you to revive other champs up.
Aspect of war- depleted block proficiency fast and attacker will eventually be completely unblockable while also gaining unstoppable off special attacks
EMP mod- makes you take major shock damage unless you don’t dex or gain buffs. Very few counters.

I would agree on the Strenght in Numbers, as well as Tunnel Vision where you aren't allowed to do the same action twice

All of those nodes which are ‘you deal barely any damage unless you have x buff/debuff’ buffed up diss track and personally I’m not a fan of nodes that prevent you from doing things that are necessary in a fight like tunnel vision

I hate lifecycle more then any other nodes

I remember when Caltrops was introduced and people were on fire because it penalized you for not standing still and holding block

I would have sworn that kind of design choice -- penalizing players for natural fighting movements -- was something that Kabam said they were not going to in the future, but maybe my memory is wrong

Any node that gives unavoidable damage

I never understand “Coward” or whateva so dumb node

The original version of no retreat in the 6.1 beta was so much worse. At least you can play around it now by playing carefully. Originally there was no cooldown after the initial dash back. Every single time you dashed back you got a stackable degen. Was awful

No retreat is by far the worst designed node. It actually punish skills. U can’t play around it and it forces you to take block damage. It would be skill based, if the timer was at 0,9-1sec instead of 1,2sec. Kabam should really consider recalibration of the node, as it is a complete failure and bs. At least, future players don’t have to face that poor design.

Like slashed tires? Or worse?

Caustic Temper is the worst in my opinion. So few counters. Coward also blows but that one thankfully doesn’t show up too much. No Retreat is annoying as hell too

My personal worst is mighty charge since I like intercepting. 2nd is probs the "you deal 90% less dmg unless defender has poison or wtv"

Imagine a korg with life cycle and unblockable finale that's hell

Mesmerize, if you look at my old posts you can see we go way back.

No slashed tires was worse

I hate the coward node - such an unnatural way to play a fighting game. No counters except to go in and tap block like a maniac while evading the defender.

Mighty charge on top of it being paired with another node that makes annoying

The hell it would be

Rage. It's way too cheap, unless you bring a damaging nullify champ, or a champ with poor damage.

There are a lot of really bad nodes but caustic temper, tunnel vision, aspect of war I would say are my least favorite, although there is a whole new crop in the 6.4 beta that are pretty senseless

I'm trying to do road to the labyrinth and safeguard is a pain (worse when combined with immunity)
