Pour (Another) One Out for OGCM

When the Mohawk-headed CM emerged as one of the first batches of 5*, I remember the standard line was that she could hit like a truck. In fact, she was part of a team that old-timers used to complete then end-game content (seriously).

Times changed. When CMM arrived, OGCM was mostly forgotten, but there was hope new Carol might boost old Carol via synergy. Sadly, the synergy for old Carol was minimal at best.

Now comes Photon, another Marvel with a full complement of powers and abilities. It’s almost too much to hope she might give a little nudge to the original Captain.

And she doesn’t. No synergy, nada. Not even the tiny “furies are stronger” or “increase in block pro” throwaway synergy. It’s almost like the team completely forgot OGCM exists.

In my view, it is silly to leave proto-champs like OGCM in the game as anything other than defensive fodder or starter champs for brand new accounts if the team isn’t going to give them any improvements.

I used to think they don't give some characters synergies just because they have plans to give them a overhaul at some point.

For example, all guardians got some synergies when Mantis and Adam came in game except Groot. I thought they are gonna buff groot or maybe it's in the works so they can add synergies in his kit along with it but now I'm losing hope in this theory lmao

Drax doesn't need a buff?

At least Photon gives two Marvels synergy, Moondragon don't even have a synergy with her father. 🤣

@Armageddøn Kabam has officially said old champ buffs are done. OGCM has no future.

Please show where they said this bc pretty sure this is not true.

If this is official (and I’m not sure it is), then take these champs out of crystals. They shouldn’t be part of the game other than to fill spots on a quest map.

No they never said that they are focussing on new champs tune ups atm doesn't mean they will never buff old champs. I'm still hopeful we will see more buffs like juggernaut in future.

Sounds like some Just pulled an ogcm and is salty about it. It's just a game. I pulled super skrull this morning but I don't come running and crying on the forums every time I pull a dud. Just accept there's champs you don't like and move on.

Mohawk marvel was my first rank4 5* at a time when her and superior iron man were the 5* cosmic champs available. She was the better choice and got me thru a bunch of early content … although nothing like LoL.

Is she viable today? Not even close but I still don’t regret ranking her up.

You missed his point. He wasn't complaining about the champ. He was complaining about the missed opportunity to utilize some form of synergy to actually make the older champ playable or relevant again. I second his opinion on this issue..

Not so much. I’m missing 3 of the 6* champs currently available from the basic crystal and have half the next set of featured champs as 6* or 7*. Every 6* opening is pretty much shades of ambivalence at this point, but I haven’t pulled OGCM in a good while.

Missed opportunities—that’s my point. If you’ve been on forums for a while, you might recall I made a similar post when CMM came out. In fact, you may find the failure to keep OG champs at least a little relevant is a common theme lamented in more than a few of my posts.

I will make you a deal: if and when the Emilia Clarke Skrull comes to MCoC, I will offer nothing but condolences if the team fails to add any useful synergies for Super Skrull.

They don’t just fill in quests. They give me immeasurable joy when I get four of them in a path instead of abs man, bishop, maw and nick. To say they are filler is disrespectful to their name.

My apologies. You are 100% correct and I wholeheartedly support RoL OGCM being the one and only fight in the BrutalDLX quest.
