What type of playstyle do you love/hate the most?

There are lots of playstyles. We have parry-heavy, we have SP3-connoisseurs etc. Some champs have pretty fixed rotation, others are very flexible in their playstyle.
I myself am an avid hater of SP3 champs. I absolutely hate that, so champs like Namor, SymSup or Mysterio sadly aren't for me. But I really enjoy Miss champs, especially Stryfe and Maw. I love benefiting from miss. Also rewarding an intercept is something I love
My question is, what playstyles do you (dis)like? I am curious whether there is a universally loved/hated playstyle.

CGR, Nimrod against mutants, ramped up Cull etc
The faster they are with the minimum of thinking is a winner for me.
I am an avid hater of intercept as a requirement of a champs kit because I suck at it, that's why you missed out Proxima.
Parry/ Heavy champs like Mags, is something everyone can do, maybe that's why he's one of my favourites?
Anyways, 200 sig R4 Angela is my mvp for almost all content. With Odin synergy and his pre fight, she is the Queen of everything. SP3 based of course, but not for damage reasons, although 60-70k SP3 is decent enough.
On the team of Angela and Mags, I usually have Void and Doom with me as well. Last spot goes to Odin if I need his pre fight for Angela, otherwise it goes to Nick Fury, or Falcon if there are defenders who needs "lock on"...
When I think about it, I'm a fairly simple soul with limited abilities, a bit like Groot in MCOC 😜
I don't really dislike any playstyles. Just none of them are on the level as My favorite
I like technical champs like Tigra, and Titania too, I would love to get Kitty, but AI has been really weird lately, I got punished quite often.
And I don't like champs with timers/missions, that require you to do certain action. I might not play OS perfectly, but if AI is stubborn ***, hides in corner, and you can't bait anything, bye-bye debuffs. OS is a good champ, I wanted to get her really bad from previous featured, but I found out, that I barely use her.
Hate: intercept champs
Bring back selling champs: Ghost and Quake
I hate champs that require too much of a specific playstyle, such as Quake and Tigra, or champs that depend too much on parry/heavy. I do dig Archangel or others that melt the opponent quick tough
And as opponents, i hate the erratic ones that throw random heavies such as Mysterio, but mostly passive mfers, such as Mordo or pretty much all champs in AQ -___-
Not a fan of parry heavy playstyles anymore, have played too much Beardo over the years. The only exceptions are maybe Hyperion and Sunspot cause their playstyle are a little different at least, plus they have crazy strong specials.
I dislike parry heavy champs.
I don't like champs where you get a big payoff for multiple SP1s and then SP2 then Heavy then fire off. Some that come to mind = Misty Knight, Toad, and Sauron. It takes too long and not enjoyable.
Don't like ramp up champs, especially when they don't have persistent charges.
Dislike: Ramp Up, also because I lack skills.
The combination of a timer and needing to rely on the opponent AI just stresses me out.
I love champions that take opponent's advantages and turn them into disadvantages. Like BWCV, she makes the defender's immunities into fodder for her own abilities.
What I DON'T like...is not being able to vary my combos during the fight. Galan's MLM puts me to sleep. Great champ but I'm asleep at the wheel. 💤 😴 lol.
I am Quake fun (let's hope she gets to be 6* and relevant again)
Nowadays Tigra with the heavy-interceptingmethod is my favourite
Hate: all the "Un's" unblockable, unstoppable, unstunnable, un-nullifiable (or cheese to passives), undamagable, unhittable (miss), unavoidable damage.
I also like tanky champs. I suck at stand-up parries and have an old device that lags often - Doom, Guardian, Rhulk, She hulk, Odin, Overseer.
I absolutely despise parry-heavy with only two exceptions - Hyperion and AA. So tediously boring you don't even need a brain to do it.
Naturally, I don't like Quake and Ghost
HATE playing against unblockable, unstoppable, evade, auto-block, falter and miss champs. Terrible for my playstyle
Favorite team to use is AA, Apoc, Red Magneto, Colossus and depending on when the first mutant opponent is, I either add in Omega Red if I can get Apoc a quick fight against a mutant and if not I add Cable to get the Horseman quicker on my AA.
I really enjoy playing Kitty Pryde with her intercepts.
I love playing champs like Hercules or Shang Chi, where you do little things throughout a fight to ramp up that crazy damage.
Champs like Doom, where they lock an opponent in an endless cycle of health loss are awesome, too!
I just made Rintrah my first R4, and love his Sp2 damage, and root.
BWDO is my favorite champ, with the big DoT and huge Sp2’s, although evading after Sp1’s has also been very fun.
Simple five hit combo, special attack champs like Warlock are great.
Parry/Heavy like CapIW, Mags, and AA are amazing.
Champs like Quicksilver that have HUGE damage if you rotate them right are amazing. I’ve gotten to 198 whiplash a few times recently.
Galan, Ultron, and Apocalypse, who heavy into specials are also great fun for me.
Namor and Professor X, that just become special spam are very fun for me.
Building up Captain Marvel is super fun, and I love the extra damage with armor breaks.
Rotating benefit champions like Claire are fun too!
I think every rotation has its pros for me, and I enjoy learning how to play many different formats of champions, and then executing them to the best of my ability.
Jinx
The playstyle that I like is Mojo. Just do the prompts and get bunch of followers. The really best thing is it applied to both attacker and defender which makes it easier. You can also not touch the opponent at all but it will be a bit risky. Overall really fun playstyle.
Another one is Hit-Monkey. No specific rotation or playstyle. Just MLM till the end. But if you want to use him for utilities (Assassin's Cunning & Primal Rage) just change a little bit of combo. Either start with MLM or MM.
One more that I like is Overseer. Get 6 gamma then SP3 and fight will usually be over at that point. That burst damage is insane.
