Domino is prob my hated champ. Crit failure = pots in AW.
oh yeah forgot about this. her double medium still trips me up. critical failure is just ********
The “block break” is annoying too. Obviously it’s not block break, but you dropping your block to dex and having dex fail, but it’s still irritating. Of course, it’s even worse when players make forum post about domino “block breaking.”

oh yeah definitely. I think I've kinda gotten used to it but it still catches me
Wanna parry? Well, he shrugs off debuffs and becomes stronger. okay, maybe intercept? Heck no! He returns part of the damage from mediums, heavies and specials back to you. Ummm, maybe try eat a full combo to block and counterattack him? Good luck with that, he goes unblockable and unstoppable if u simply dash back. And be sure you don't hit his block too much, he'll go unstoppable too.
Aside from all of this his sp1 is unblockable and is very hard to evade... Oh, I forgot to say he receives less damage when rock is active.
His class is pretty much messed up too. He is skill, so the best counters are mutants, yes? YES? Nope. Korgs main weakness are energy/non-contact attacks. Most mutants do contact attacks, and most mutants attacks are not energy-based. There are more mystics who deal energy damage.
Maybe mystics are a good counter to him? They can nullify unstoppable and unblockable, yeah? Nope, because they are passive, so u need slow. And who has slow?
We don't count Pyramid X storm, because she puts it only for duration of special attack 1. We don't count synergies, because they are synergies -_-
So, we have 5 potential counters. Btw, most counters (maybe all of 'em, I'm not sure about Shulk) were not in the game when Korg was released. This proofs that he has horrible design.
3 of 5 are science champions, so their slow will not work on Korg. We have only 2 counters for Unstoppable: Stealthy and Sorcerer Supreme. Stealthy isn't a perfect counter too: he relies on refreshing his debuffs, which can be shrugged off if rock shield is active.
We have only 1 champion, who has energy attacks and can handle Korgs unstoppable: Sorcerer Supreme. And again, Korg may just shrug off that Slow. Sorcerer Supreme was released in 2020, while Korg is in game since 2018.
If we put aside unstoppable, we have Havok, Namor, Omega, Iron Man IW, Claire, Hype and couple of other counters.
And what about attack? Well, he's a wet noodle. He doesn't have debuffs, except for the bleed on SP2. I wanna remind u that most of good skill champs either put a lot of dots on opponents (Squirrel Girl, Blade, Ronin, Black Widow, EVEN BLACK PANTHER) or do hit like a truck (Stealthy, Aegon, Taskmaster). Some of them even combine this two abilities: Monkey, Elsa, Nick, Masacre. Korg does none of this.
I can talk about his horrible design for hours, but there is a lot of text already, hope it's enough.
You focus a lot on his Unstoppable ability. Perhaps you need to approach him differently. I almost never run into this ability when I'm fighting him. In fact, I've found that he's more aggressive when he's Unstoppable, so sometimes I'll trigger it on purpose when I've pushed him to an L2 and need to bait out a special. Once he goes Unstoppable, be prepared to evade and punish.
He does have a fair number of mutant counters. Omega Red is likely still the best, but Namor is also terrific. Outside of them, you still have 2 types of Magneto, Iceman, Havok, and Storm (Pyramid X). Sure, the Magnetos aren't great (yet), but the others are useful in a lot of areas of the game.
He's a tricky defender for sure. He can be especially tough on that Mix Master node right in the center of the current AW Map. But I think with a little practice you can get him under control. Good luck!

Thx for advices. Of course Omega, Havok and some other Mutants are good counters, but Korg still is very annoying defender. I take paths with Korg in AW, and I usually solo him with Claire. I just described who I don't love.
I focused on all of his abilities tho, not just unstoppable. I don't love that kind of champions who need very niche counters. Take Thing, for example. He's very annoying defender too, but u can beat him with pretty much any champion. He rewards skill and concentration.
Unlike him, Korg punishes u if u have no proper counter. If u have no energy/non-contact damage dealer, you pretty much messed up: U can't medium intercept because of thorns, u cant heavy/special counter his heavy attacks because of thorns, u can't safely stun if u aren't playing with Pyramid X, and he punishes u when u hit on block or dex back. Your only option is to light intercept or parry till he doesn't shrug off stun. This is too much even in 2020, let alone in 2018.
He doesn't need the proper counter, though a good counter does make him significantly easier.
An alliance mate took out the Korg from the Maze a year or two back using a 2* Star Lord. He's got damage, but no real utility the helps him as a counter to Korg. He didn't upload the video to youtube, but I did find someone else's video who did the same thing. All this to say that Korg doesn't need a specific counter to beat him.
After AoL path this week I can honestly say Luke Cage is the worst fight I’ve had except maybe my first run vs Collector with no Aegon. Admittedly it was about midnight when I started so I wasn’t playing well but he cost me almost my entire stash. So also SheHulk cuz she wasn’t that great for him for me.

I've actually never had lag the whole time I've been playing except for occasional things like DP Sp2.
Don’t forget the UCEQ DarkHawk boss. It was so bad you had to pause at the start of the fight so all the nodes could load in so you could actually move before he smacked you in unblockable mode.
I remember everyone complaining about DarkHawk but I didn't have any lag from that fight. Never had to pause it.
As far as defenders go I'd say Thing, Mole Man, Havoc, and Annihilus are pains for me. The first two can be okay but man if mess up once you can sure pay. 😡 Most definitely need more practice with them.
Attacker wise, I just can't stand Thor Ragnarok..he flat sucks IMO. 😂
Venom the effing Duck. Howard the Effing Duck and Hit-Monkey.
WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY are they in the game and not characters like Iron Monger, Whiplash, Hellcat, Jessica Jones, Kurse, Skurge, Shuri, Mantis, Misty Knight, Baron Zemo, Mockingbird, Klaw, Goliath, Valkyrie, Shocker, Lady Deathstrike, Warpath, Pyro or Avalanche?

I still don't understand who wanted Hit-Monkey as a playable champion. Is there a specific reason why they added him to the game?

This year they are focusing on lesser known characters and not so much main marvel characters, obviously movie tie ins are a must for them but there aren’t many of those currently
Does it have to be “who” or can it be “what”? I hate any fight where high rank and class advantage are not enough, and you have to have a very specific champ ranked up to win. I thought that Kabam had learned from feedback about the original 6.2.6 boss fight not to do this, but then I experienced this month’s Herald quests. Every single boss fight is this way. This is the future of the game?

Korg, Annihilus, and Thing, mostly. I have basically no Unstoppable counters, so that's super annoying to deal with. Korg punishes you for evading and also has Unblockable abilities, while Annihilus essentially requires you to evade immediately from the start of the fight or not at all because if he so much as touches you he'll put that debuff on you that lets him go unstoppable, and he's also parry immune just enough of the time to confuse you into wondering if he is or isn't and how do his abilities work again? Thing is a little easier to work around, but I still haven't figured out what the trick is. Get him to 15 charges and then bait a special, sure, but half the time he gets to 15 long before he even gets to SP1.
But of all these, Annihilus is my most hated. Every time I fight him he's just insanely aggressive and it's a massive pain to evade and intercept fast enough, and if you screw up at any point you still have the reflex to intercept, except now he's Unstoppable and will wreck you.

The opposite of Luke Cage, plus he is bad.
Can’t hate them since variants are so fun
The current one is “is there a v5 announcement???”

I know they can do things, but their animations and characters and everything... Only pure hate
Last year: IMIW, Sentinel
Two years ago +: Nightcrawler, Magik
