I remember when this game came out the christmas season right before Age of Ultron the following spring - which was also the first tie in event!
I was in high school at the time. PHC were addictive because everyone wanted a 4 star lol! Alliance chat was just as bad as it is today and bases were still being talked about in roadmaps!
I am pretty sure Superior Iron Man was the first added champ and I was so hyped cause of the current comic run an now he is just sad dud lol.
Regardless of the current state of game, Most of us keep coming back to MCOC because we enjoy it an love Marvel. In terms of app store games for marvel this is the best out their IMO an the constant monthly updates are fantastic and keep the game fresh. My favorite part of the game is still the characters and seeing the improvement from over the years has been very enjoyable. The animations this year have been some of the best and the future of characters is definitely bright!
Lets keep the thread nice! Share any memories or funny moments you've got! Memories from the forum are also welcomed!

Pulling a 4* storm from a premium long ago
First champ I got from arena. I had about 10 4*s so I had to set an alarm for every 2 hours and do some unit refreshes to get to 3.1 million.
And… probably December 2020, there was a lot to do that month.
(...someone had to go there.)
YOLO
Was that mcoc's first true boss fight? Not really counting thanos, kang, or maestro here. Correct me if i'm wrong!
The first time I beat the Collector with rank 4 4*s was insane. It was such a difficult fight with a bunch of 4*s but completing that was such a relief and felt like I actually accomplished something in the game.
The next was when I went for last 5* featured crystals in the game to get Blade. I got a Medusa and got Blade and duped Blade the very next day from a regular 5* crystal. It was a weird feeling to get the best champ in the game and getting him awakened.
The last time was when I pulled Big Daddy Apoc (twice) and a Warlock, all in a row. It was pretty wild. Haven't felt the same feeling of accomplishment since then tbh. I haven't done Abyss and LoL and I am not going to do those pieces of content cuz I can't be asked to complete those quests.
1) 12.0 - not just the nerfing of champions but I relate that time to iceman’s release in the game and the headaches caused. They just nerfed my only two r5 4* (bw and capww2) but still pushed through and 100% masters.
2) rockets scrapyard, mostly because this type of side quest was new never seen before and choosing your own rewards was unique at the time.
3) Doctor Strange’s rifts first iteration, again just something new and they just introduced portals in the game. They’ve gone a bit crazy since then but to this points there were no portals.
On my 1st try of the 5 star featured
- Mutant Treasure island because I got ridiculously lucky and pulled a Platpool without paying for any of the deals.
- I did love Rocket's scrapyard and Strange's rifts because they were such new ideas in the game at the time (and sue me, but I still love the rifts design. It is similar to the crazy odds of like a GGC, but you actually physically got to see all of the items represented on a map. Just a different style of rng).
- I remember when I only had 7 5* champs and I awakened my SheHulk and thought "wow, that is so worthless. When will I ever use her?" and then finally hearing about the buff way later on. I actually had a ton of buffed champs pre-buff and always got so disappointed when I pulled them, so hearing about buffs always excites me. Love that Kabam is willing to do that and not just scrap old champs.
- Finally pulling Aegon. Had an AG and sig stones saved for him for literal year(s, maybe. It felt like that long at least).
- First time I ever pulled a 4* from a PHC was literally more than two years after I first downloaded the game. I know it might be lame, because I already had 5* champs, but I was just so shocked.
I had been saving 5* Shards for Loki's featured crystal. Now, for context there's a couple things to point out. One, that was a good idea at the time, Loki was a new champ and pretty cool. This was before 12.0, so there were about 6 champs really worth using in the game, Cap WW2, Wolverine, Black Widow, OG Thor, Dr Strange and Star Lord. Anyone who was slightly good compared to them were worth getting and ranking. The extent of utility was basically have damage, or heal. Loki's buff steal was new and exciting.
Secondly, the featured crystals worked differently then. It used to be a 20% chance for the featured champ (well, we didn't know it then. Drop rates weren't released, but community sourced data generally agreed it was around 1/5, then when drop rates were released it was confirmed to be 20%). So targeting a specific champ was definitely easier.
So I'd saved up 30k 5* shards, I was not good at hoarding so be proud, and I had almost decided to go for Loki. But just as I felt like I'd decided, Gambit was released. This completely blew my choice wide open, all my alliance mates were hyped on Loki but Gambit seemed so cool! He has awesome looking specials, his damage was extremely respectable in those days, his stun was a cool utility, and concussion? Stopping abilities from working? Wow! Plus, I had grown up on super hero films and while X-men Origins was not the best, shall we say, I always loved Gambit in it.
So I decided not to go for Loki but I wasn't sure whether to go for gambit now. And that brings us to me sitting in the airport, 30k shards ready to buy 2 Crystals.
I still hadn't decided, and I was sitting at the departure gate going back and forward in my mind, when the announcement came that the gate was opening in 5 minutes. I guess it kind of spurred me on and I decided to go for it, I grabbed two of the Kinetic crystals without much thought. I set it on the spinner and just said to myself, at least once, please at least one be Gambit. And the first one landed on Gambit! I was so happy, I threw the other one on the spinner without a care and again, landed on Gambit awakening him. I'm sure most of us have opened crystals in public settings, and it's hard not to celebrate too much! These were the first ever featured crystals I'd opened, hearing nothing but bad things about alliance mates missing out. And I got Gambit twice! I grabbed a screenshot of my new champion, and then had to board the plane.
Unfortunately, I clearly didn't have a chance to mess around with the newest addition to my roster. So I spent a lot of the 10 or so hour long flight staring at a screenshot of Gambit, not believing my luck, with my phone on airplane mode!
Later, when we began to get T2A, I took Gambit up as my first 5* R4. I don't have all the screenshots of the time, but I have this one of a little later when I ranked up BP OG as well, as my second.
I still have a soft spot for Gambit, and when he got buffed I was so happy. In fact, writing this post has reminded me nostalgically of that moment, so I may take Gambit up as my next mutant R3!
Too bad I don't use him anymore because I have a 6* of him, which I will rank 3 and rank 4 him because I like him too much.
