Nodes make this game unbearable.

I’m currently on act 5 chapter 1 dark Angel and the nodes kabam puts on this game are unbearable and generally make the game NOT fun. There’s a degeneration buff on this map meaning if you don’t land a punch within 6 seconds you lose your health ok fair enough you want to give us a challenge BUT WHEN THE COMPUTER STANDS THERE BLOCKING THE ENTIRE TIME, trying to bait you into doing a heavy attack so they can just stop blocking and start attacking just to REPEAT the process is madness after awhile kabam stacks the odds in the computers favor

I just went for the easiest node for completion to get more and better champs.
Right now you can get 5* and 6* pretty soon, before you had to play a lot more to get a single 5* if you were not a whale or you had good champs to do what was endgame content.
Maybe 2 years ago I just explored act 5 pretty easily so I think you complain too much.
If you were talking about act 6? Then yeah, you would be right, act 6 is probably the hardest one, but act 5 is straight forward.
If you are skilled enough, champions shouldnt be a problem, and theres a lot of youtuber doing f2p runs doing act 5 with pretty normal champions.
You are now reaching the point where you can't simply brute force your way through content. For veteran players, we first hit that roadblock in early act 4, or even act 3, so it can be difficult to relate to new players who have far stronger champions than we did.
People are saying it's easy because in the grand scheme of mcoc, there really is very little to worry about in 5.1 compared to later content. I don't say this to make you feel bad, but you should realize it. At this point you have a few options. Push through with units (not recommended), stay at your current level forever (if that's what you enjoy, go for it), stop playing mcoc (advised if you're not having fun), or start working on building your skills. If you want advice on how exactly to improve, people are more than willing to help, but if you just say it's too hard you likely won't get a very helpful reaction
If someone wants continue mashing the screen like it’s Mortal Kombat, stick to arena tbh.
I think you said a whole bunch of nothing. It was insightful the champions you had but everything else is irrelevant I seen what they’re doing on YouTube and it’s not the champions that the problem it’s the **** node for the map I’m on I’ve seen people do it with ultron Hyperion ghost wolverine and another random but the difference between me and them is I don’t have those champions as strong and I’m upgrading them if you have advice on how I can get past the computers “block until I do a heavy to break the block just to hit me and go back to blocking” gimmick feel free to drop the advice otherwise move the on cause I’ve talked to others that’s felt the same way so far I’ve tried taking champions with unblockable first specials
You have all the champions you need for act 5. You just need to put together a team.
Leave yourself open. The less you're blocking the more likely it is that the defender will attack into you.
Don't finish your combos. Generally the AI is much more willing to dash back in if you only do partial combos.
Start baiting specials long before it's necessary. Right after they hit 2 bars, try to bait out the special. If they're not throwing it, use the occasional hit to keep brute force from triggering. With a whole bar of wiggle room it gives plenty of time for them to throw it.
Use champions with access to unblockable or power control. It reduces the number of things you need to keep track of. CGR, corvus, IMIW, and prof x all have access to unblockable and power control
You have enough dmg and immunity champs to do whole act 5 I think, but you have to play the right champs in the right nodes with some skill at least
Who said I didn’t and don’t have these skills ? Do YOU have any suggestions since I’m over here mashing the screen since you know so **** much
i mean... you have 6*, man. most of us were doing this with mediocore 4*, you dont even need specific champs at this point.
You have more of a diverse roster at chapter 1 than I did at chapter 4
I did whole of act 5 with 3 maxed 4 stars and 1 5 star rank 3 and one five star rank 2
So you can do it
And they weren't game breaking champs, just sunspot, NF , doom, Mr fantastic and Spidey 99
With that roster and a bit of skill you can do it
