Oh my god I wish they kept that sonic the hedgehog spinny thing from the sp3 for one of the regular specials or even a heavy attack, that’s so dope

Actually on the MCOC Facebook page, here it what it says for her abilities

Scream's strengths: Buff versatility with strong effects in content that scales with unique Buffs. Gains 5s Auto-Block Buff after consuming Madness Passives. Armor Breaks against Bleed Immunes, reducing Tech Champions' chance to gain Armor.

So like Medusa, she can inflict armor break, bleed and auto block. However it doesn't look like she'll have Armor Shatter, but rather she'll reduce the chance they gain Armor.

Crazy that we got Jack O' Lantern before Hobgoblin.

Woo symbiote finally after so many years cant wait

Still no Toxin though

There is nothing surprising. This is not the Levins or Macendale version, this is the latest version - the "untitled" one. The most reckless and cruel version of Jack O'Lantern

So excited for SCREAM 🙌🏾
It’s Screamin Time

Time to jack it off

Why is she called Scream tho?

Eh, hobgoblin didn't do great in the summoners choice poll and part of the fun of this game is getting more obscure characters

Why is he called venom? Or toxin? Or agony, riot, sleeper, mania etc... they're just cool names

I wanna be excited so bad cause they look awesome but Kabam likes to undertune most new champs so we’ll see ig
Yep. I’ve given up hope in 2024. Must bleh year for attackers I can recall
I think it's getting better though. BRB, Nefaria and Shathra are quite good attackers.

Maybe by 2024 standards, but nobody really holds a candle to 2023s attackers.

BRB - Good Utility, Good in long form content, mid in medium/short form and rotation is too rigid. Good addition but massively overhyped in the areas where players are hungry for a new banger.

Nefaria - definitely a solid attacker but has important flaws that limit him. Again massively overhyped, which isn’t his fault. Great utility, the great damage isn’t accessible in the matchups you really want it in, and can be shut off by Unfazed. Still up there with Prowler as the 2nd best attacker.

Shathra - seems ok, jury is out on her though.

Best attacker is White Tiger this year by a mile. She’s got the most flexible kit, super fun to play. We need more like her, and I admit to sleeping a little bit on her as I had her pegged as a War attacker only but she can do so much more. And she’s a January release almost an honorary 2023 release.

What we need less of are champs like Sable. The do these 3 things, manage this timer, and do this action to gain a window of damage. The payoff is often underwhelming this year, and ultimately the rigidity of the loops makes it inaccessible too often too. The designs you mentioned feel like they fall into this category, so maybe some rate them higher than I do, but I definitely knock off points for rigidity in damage accessibility, making them all seem underwhelming in the content where that keeps them on the bench.

The guy that was Jack o lantern became hobgoblin if I'm not mistaken

She looks very good and scary, but her specials aren't special at all. They seem copy paste from Scorpion and other champions' special attacks.
Maybe my expectations were too high?

Shriek would have been a nice fit for the month with Scream...

If it was a symbiote month and not a Halloween month maybe

Nah. There's only so many unique Symbiotes. Rather space em out.

Watch them both be trash as per usual, I don't expect anything at this point lmao.

Fair enough. The Macendale is the only version I know.

White Tiger, one of the best Serpent counters plus a generally good damage dealer
Bullseye: Top defender, underrated attacker
Serpent: Monster defender, great attacker
Prowler: Great attacker with very good power control

Your wasting your breath. If they aren't a top bgs attacker, he calls them mid or disappointing or garbage. There's other games modes though, just not for him.

They don't need to be top, Prowler and Wigra are decent, most of these however are trash or mid indeed lmao that argument that BGs isn't the only game mode is irrelevant because you could use Cyclops and other trash champs in other game modes with full synergy teams and it wouldn't mean a thing, the kits by themselves are not good 💀

Doesn't change the fact most of the stuff this year is pretty bad in terms of attack.
Bullseye is not underrated on attack he sucks unless he's r3 punching down, Serpent only good for long form content, Prowler and Wigra no complaints but the rest are mid or bad.

Not to him. He only cares about bgs. Nothing else. But tbh, story is not hard and can be done with just about anyone at this point.
