To Celebrate the Ten Year Anniversary, let’s hear some noob stories!

Whether it’s a dumb death in war, losing your streak in arena by accident, wasting boosts, etc..
I wanna hear em!
I’ll go first.
Back when Nightcrawler and OG Spidey ruled the game in war on defense, for the first time ever without a death- I beat both of them on the same path.
I used 4 star Hyperion at the time, and I thought I was the best player ever.
For reference, this was 8 years ago. Good times.

Yep, I remember those days all too well.

I complained about not getting a title and then realize I didn't deserve it.

When there used to be a defence tactics in AW named flow.

Once upon a time, 2 of my alliance mates had a fierce fight over who is a good attacker between cull obsidian and Hyperion.

There was a time when in AW, on boss island, there used to be a node on left side with 200% power gain.

Thanks!
Nah but in all seriousness, I remember telling a buddy of mine Heavy attacks hit harder the longer you hold it and making him waste revives.
Also doing stupid match ups like using BWDO against HT...

Defender_dawn2

I remember getting absolutely furious when namor got nerfed
Ranted a lot on forums without knowing rules and got banned lol

captain_rogers

I thought xl champs are powerful and small champs are mid

Back when I was new to this game I remember getting annoyed whenever I awakened a champ coz I thought it's a total waste of crystal getting the same champ I already have ..lol..

Honestly, all jokes aside as well- I’m more so annoyed about the purple banner; but I get why Kabam did what they did. It’s a genius marketing move, especially nowadays to use FOMO- to get people to invest more.
Yikes, secondhand embarrassment on that BWDO vs Torch matchup.
If it’s any consolation though, l remember vividly truly believing- that back in the day when it possible; “special parrying” was people cheating. Lmao

I thought we get multiple copies of same champ at same rarity, eg 5 copies of 3* gamora if we dupe her 5 times, and we were able to donate the excess copies to other players via alliance help feature lol.

Lo and behold now, it’s by far and away the best way to get ISO stacked up- especially when you’re an endgame valiant player.

When war first came out, Ultron was king of war bosses. You couldn't stun him to stop his regen. Willpower was much stronger and duplicate debuffs counted towards willpower regen. Strategy was to get him below his regen threshold and immediately quit so he wouldn't regen. I can hear some people saying Ultron is easy to take out. It was a different time back then. A simpler time. Many factors involved but mostly it was learning to fight against an opponent with masteries. Prepare to laugh but my best champion back then was Iron Fist. So I took him up against Ultron..... you can see the issue here already. He healed just as fast as I damaged him. Complete Noob move.

I had absolutely no idea I could end combos with a medium. For so long I just ended mine with light attacks and I was almost Cavalier i think. Felt so stupid, then again not a lot of champs back then benefited from that

You just brought back so many memories, of alliance mates and myself- being scolded for burning 10-20 revives at a time in war; having no clue war deaths counted against us. Haha.
Most of which were due to good ole Ultron back in the day.

Lesson learned, and not a moment too soon! Quite a few champs now, benefit quite heavily from medium ending combos.

I remember this theory about the premium crystal coming from the bottom corner which would give you a 4 star champ. I tried it a few times but didn't work.

cur53d

I was afraid to do arena because I didn't want to fight other real people...

DRTO

Selling my 1* spiderman like a month into the game because for some reason I didn't like him lol. It would be years later til I got him back

Odachi

When item use was a 3 day event, thinking i was using xp boosts I burnt all 10 of my 30% champion boosts! 🤦

Demonzfyre

When I thought spider mans evade was a buff and venom could nom nom it.

TotemCorruption

When I kept trying to dex and would get smashed in the face because I didn't realize I needed the dex mastery.

EdisonLaw

When I first started playing I thought you could move to the next star level after maxing out a champion, turns out it's not possible

Heir_of_thanos

Ranked sentry over void because I liked his design better. I didn’t understand champion abilities, just MLLLM Sp3 when ready. Man.

I did the same with 1 star Deadpool, and in so doing- missed out on the coolest profile pictures in the game; that look different when you already had him. (The events where you could do arena or whatnot for him)

For a long time I thought only ISO of the same class could work on a champion, I spent so much glory on useless ISO😂

same.

I used to sell champions when I got the next highest rarity. Then I realised it was stupid to sell the 3*s and then stopped selling the 2*s but kept selling the 1*s from daily crystals for ages then decided sod it and kept them and maxed them.

Malchaeis

Glad they got rid of the selling of champs. Had an alliance member quit because his girlfriend got mad at him and sold most of his champs. Think she left him with a couple low star champs. Ouch.
