The hardest/complex champ

OurobørosOurobøros Member Posts: 1,688 ★★★★
Who do you think is the most hard or complex champ to play, in terms of reaching their full potential and utility?

Two in one question.

Who do you think is the complex champ that just don't pay off the effort to build and play in terms of utility and niche abilities?

    Invisible Woman and Dani Moonstar come to mind. Too many things can go wrong with the ramp up.

    I personally dont like Hela, Omega Sentinel and Adam Warlock ramp ups either but i cannot deny that the payoff is there with these characters.

    Tigra 100%. If you master her spacing she’s one of the best champs in the game. I tend to miss heavy counters by a hair most of the time, but I wish I was good with her since she’s so potent.

    Prof x is another one for longer content if you can keep the prowesses up.

    Forgot to tell mine.
    I think one of the most complex ones for me is Abs Man. The light intercept sometimes works and sometimes you get smacked into the face with a full combo, or you hit the air or opponent's block, the last two being the most common to happen, and the build up and use of the morph charges are just too much for me to get. GIT GUD, I'm just terrible using him and it sucks because I made him r4 and he just sits there collecting dust.

    Tigra is the obvious answer but I'm going to say Prof. X cause he's pretty close to Tigra when it comes to skill ceiling imo. You have to be very careful with the spacing when you go for the double prowess, if you're too close to the corner you can end up getting clipped.

    Probably kate or valk for the first question if you’re really comfortable with these champs you can completely control almost any fight

    And maybe silk for the second question with silk you need the a.i the play into you all the time and unless you have her at pretty much the max rank possible you cant really kill anything these days even with the sp3 rotation you’ll just end up taking a sp3 and dying and to top it all off she doesn’t have much utility

    Do you even have a Silk? I do, you don't need AI cooperation and the 7* kills anything in BGs with a single sp2 lol just plain wrong.

    Is that why my r3 has been banned [on the metas I can use her]?

    I don't understand the dani thing. All you do it build 10 combo, hold block, and then play aggressive. I've never had an issue with her rotation

    If my Silk is annihilating at r1 yes even I would ban yours and sacrifice mine in the process, thank you very much 🙃

    Ps. Totally unrelated but if you usually have an ascended Sinister in your deck I think I played against you in BGs a few months ago, boy was that annoying. Just wanted to get that off my chest lmao.

    Yes i do have a silk and i have on numerous occasions intercepted from the beginning of the fight all the way up to a sp2 with both fury’s active and it did not kill the defender

    You're supposed to do four hits and charge heavy, not intercept.
    Also, if the sp2 isn't killing this way either then that's probably just because of the 6* stats I suppose. I've killed r2 7* Mangogs withy r1 7* Silk in under 40 secs before.

    Proxima Midnight is annoying to ramp up for me. I wish they allow her to complete the missions in any order like Corvus, instead of the required random order.

    I did do 4 hits and heavy like i said i had 2 furies when i dropped the sp2 and probably like 35-40 vulnerabilities and it didn't kill that’s why i said if she’s not near max rank she cant kill anything these days

    I meant doing 4 hits and heavy the whole fight, don't intercept at all.
    Also, is you Silk 6* or 7*?

    Corvus glaive in questing, you have to hit the block and try to kill the opponent before running the charges.

    Tigra, I disagree. While she need high skill to reach complete potential, for bgs, you can just play her normally, punish opponent heavies, don't try to punish tough specials, instead miss the entire opponent specialz and throw your special to avoid getting intercepted.
    With proper planning, you can reliably do this every fight.

    I forgot to clarify that super skrull cannot trigger nova flame while in cosmic overload, only prior to that. Also, all non-converted buffs are removed when cosmic overload expires. Therefore, there is no way to build past 5 buffs without conversion. Also also, there is yet another technicality, if you convert 5 furys into armors with sp1 and get 5 more buffs BEFORE converting the armor with an sp2, you will trigger cosmic overload without nova flame.

    Yes... Tigra is an absolute menace in BG... mine is still at r3 but she is still such a nuke and finishes a lot of annoying fights in under 30 sec! Abs Man, Maestro, Hulkling... All just breakfast for her!

    Do you heavy into your sp2? Do you have a relic on her and heavy into that before your sp2?

    You realize that in itself might be too much for many players because ... spacing.

    Proper planning? This seems to be a point in favor of her having a high skill cap - not against.

    If I see a high ranked Tigra, I usually ban her. Your average Tigra player is likely not your average player.

    I was about to bring up Super Skrull, but someone already did

    Yeah, he has absolutely poor payoff for what he wants a player to do.

    Unless you use synergies, but that just feels... sad.

    I think that the answers to those questions are genuinely champs that @Swedeah plays
