Why is luke cage in the titan pool?

My 3 titans have been

1. Gladiator (love him now)
2. Red Skull (meh)
3. Luke cage (just.....why?)

He's not even fun to play. Red guardian deserved his place instead. There were exactly 3 champions I didn't wanna pull: Thing, Cage and blade.

Especially from the titan pool, a titan crystal takes months to form.

Because he just got buffed and he's actually not bad now

Red skull ain't meh, and Luke is crazy good.

He can completely shutdown every mystic champ with a special 2. If you have pacify mastery, you can use it to completely shutdown non mystics as well. He also can easily reverse passive power gain in like 2-3 combos. He is good.

Atleast you don't pull a peni or morb, who are just sitting at my roster without even leveled up.

Also is glad good? His playstyle is very wierd. Ik he is good for some crazy cheeses like quicksilver, but do he actually have a value in bgs? I see no one have him ranked so idk. Same with morb? Is he good?

I can win rounds in BG using LC for fights that he shouldn’t even be good for. I think that you are living in the pre-buff past.

He is very fast. Have him at R2 and he melts defenders with healthpools around 300k before you can fully set up his rotation. Playstyle is only weird until you get used to it, and realize it is incredibly flexible. You have easy access to his infuriate, which is passive so it bypasses a lot of annoying defensive abilities, and those heavies pack a punch when they crit (20-23k). He can also counter miss, evade and armor up effects. The dashing into specials part is not really needed unless you want to get fancy with him because his damage is already bonkers without it.

I know he's not bad, but he isn't really the most fun to play. He's very vanilla.
I'd take an ironheart, peni, havok, sersi anyone over him. This is pretty much my problem with falcon being a 7 star too. He's just not interesting.

Gladiator is absolutely awesome. You know how good titania is in a variety of matchups? I think glad is similarly very good for a very wide range of matchups. He has additional ability accuracy for his buffs and his damage gimick actually works very well now. His buff did wonders for him.

Just how you don't want Luke Cage, there are some that don't want those champs that are listed. L.C is in there because of his recent buff and release as a 7*. I don't know why we have to keep explaining over and over that the Titan crystal isn't for what you consider "god tier" champions. It's not even considered a featured crystal. It's just how Kabam has decided to inject new 7*'s with a higher opportunity to get them vs the basic pool or larger featured pool.

Buffed Cage is better, but I agree he doesn't belong in the Titan crystal.

Another one. Jesus.

Say it with me: "The Titan crystal is for all newer 7*'s regardless if you think they belong in the crystal". "The Titan crystal is a smaller pool allowing for quicker access for newer 7*'s".

ItsClobberinTime

Red Guardian would be absolutely busted as a 7*, it's too early for that. I have a r5 ascended and the damage output is absurd, no way they add him as a 7* anytime soon he would be hitting harder than Hulk or Titania and would be just as quick as CGR even for problematic matchups like Maestro. It's easy to see why they skipped him completely.
As for Red Skull and Luke Cage, neither of those are bad so what's the issue?

He's a good attacker too, very good actually just underrated cause people don't know how to use him. He's been my go-to Domino counter since his buff.

No he’s a good attacker too. He’s a bullseye and domino counter and he’s a sustainable champ with some nice damage after the sp2

He is a good defender and ok on offense, But Tech class is soooooooo weak that if we go by his class, he looks like a busted defender and great attacker. It's his class fault lol.

he drains power on block so bullseye takes time to reach a bar of power

He can stop Bullseye ever reaching a bar of power; which is about when he starts to cause trouble...

The issue, as it has been since the Titan crystal was released, is that many of the player base doesn't understand what the Titan crystal is.

Yeah it's funny cause I've pulled Thing twice in a row and even I'm not that entitled. While I do wish they stopped adding old champs that require high sig to the Titan cause it's painful when you pull one, the Titan pool isn't meant for top tier champs only either, it's mean for champs that will be coming to the basic pool soon. Not that deep, it is what it is.

Some of the pain could be alleviated by reducing the 20K shard cost.

I have an awakened 7* Luke Cage if that makes you feel better.

I would happily trade you your last three titan pool pulls for my last three - Morbius, Morbius, and Thing.

Duped Morbius is pretty sweet though.

Test him out yourself before coming to the forums to complain

Idk what's the point of Titan or blah blah, but to pull Jabari out of it was one of, if not the worst, feeling, maybe ever in MCOC crystal openings.

I did. I don't like him.
