Power gain metas.. please… just stop Kabam. I’m literally begging you.

Kabam, I love the fact that we’re going to back to two BG metas a season- because if it wasn’t for that; I wouldn’t touch this GC node with a ten foot pole.
Anyway, please stop bringing variations of power gain metas to BG’s- and make a mode that’s already heavily RNG based, even more RNG based.
It doesn’t matter how much skill or gamesense I have (or don’t have sometimes) if the AI is just like “Nah, you get no openings today” and ONLY throws specials- during the timer after you knock them down.

No - keep them coming as it's more skill based rather than a nuke where bigger roaster have straight advantage

Please tell me this is satire. If not, please elaborate on how knocking down serpent, Bullseye, Maestro- is pretty much an immediate SP2-SP3 to the face right after. Because they immediately pop their SP1’s right into your block before you can react.
If that’s deemed as “skill based” this mode is chocked.

“Skill based” has always just been a term to describe AI cooperation really

Which meta would be better suit for you. I keep seeing players complain about every meta but none suggesting what they would prefer. No matter the meta, the bigger accounts will always have an advantage since they will have more counters available to them so which meta will make the playing field more even. That is the question I would like to know. Which meta would provide a more even playing field for everyone. I'm guessing none since with every meta there's always post about how it's unfair to someone.

Nah, I love metas that put typically overshadowed or overlooked champs in the spotlight.
For example, I’m very very much looking forward to the safeguard meta- where my max sig R3 Emma Frost will shine on defense.
I don’t complain about metas typically (or I try not to at least) unless they’re power gain related.
Because then you take most of the skill out of the mode, and make it a “Who’s AI will be more or less cooperative” matchup.
It’s just not fun at all.

There is also a power gain meta you complain about too, but since you said you complain about power gain metas, I left that off. I only went back to November also.

All power gain nodes should automatically come with sp1 and sp2 bias node,

Damn AI just turtles till it reach red power bar and then immediately throws it.

For all the champs you mentioned, knock them down when it will take them to a SP2.
Serpent’s SP2 takes so long that the timer elapses and you don’t give him the power gain.
Bullseye and Maestro have SP2s that are much easier to fully evade.

Get a life dude. Lmao.
Go as far back into my post history as you’d like, clearly you have nothing else better to do.
I’d like to add by the way, that first one you posted, is technically still a power gain meta.
I hate nuke metas and power gain metas. I’ve said this many times, in both responses to people; and trolls like you on my posts.
I can smell you from here.

Wasn't in my Bingo card either. Just thought it was funny that he said he doesn't complain much about metas, but here's going on three months straight (at least) of complaining about BG metas. First hates just power gain metas, then adds nuke metas, what's next? Also, we have a complaint from a October, so I'm sure there's more. You just seem to hate BG because these are just the ones focused on the nodes and not your other complaints about BG. You may want to take a break from this mode.

I think it's the combination of nodes that makes it worse. Power gain meta + limited power control champs that can handle hazard shift.

You sure do care a lot about my opinion, which I checked your in game ally by the way- and it totally checks out as to why. People like you are professional instigators.
Also, if you’ve been stalking me for this long- you’d see that I’ve said multiple times I dislike the state of BG’s and how it’s going.
If you’re gonna do your research, do it right.
Go ahead and keep stalking me, I love my fans

"I never complain, except about power gain".

Right, I didn’t realize this many people would care enough to go back in my post history- and bring up posts I’ve forgotten about. Lmao. I guess I’m just always supposed to remember every post I’ve ever made.
I don’t care and wouldn’t know that Will is a “cherished” community member, because unlike the rest of you- I have a life outside these forums.
I will admit though, it’s quite fun seeing how many people downvote me- just to downvote me.

chavez by herself can handle powergain , kushala works upto an extent , shatra works,
in science, nefaria and leader are way more effective, luke straight up reverses the powergain (not serpent tho),most of the wither and petrify champs are effective. power sting champs (scorpion , ham , etc) work better than usual .

Yes its just a list of 10-15 champs and not everyone owns these champs, but having even 5 of these champs in ur deck is enough to play some of these matchups u mentioned. The draft rng is a whole diff topic but I hope u get my point.

Good luck using leader chavez or shathra against hazard shift node, this combination nodes is wild imo (sugar pill, hazard shift, rise to power)

I came at you wrong earlier and I will admit that, I’m mature enough to realize when I’ve acted the opposite. I was running a high fever, lightheaded, basically a scinus infection and was ill due to it.
However, for future reference- I’d appreciate you not undermining me; by going back to posts I’ve completely forgotten about.

Also, I hit C6 for the first time today- so I won’t be taking a break from the mode; but maybe laying off grinding it as much as I have.
Anyways, have a good day.

You say my comments are vile, yet the people who instigated me got no response from you. Not that I care that much, as referenced by how long it took me to respond to this; unlike you and others I don’t live on this forum.
Also, I brought up me hitting C6- to show that I won’t be taking a break from BG’s for a while; so as to grind the leaderboard more.
