Oh great another power gain meta in bgs

Soumemiakas1926

Can we please just have a normal meta without power gain for defenders? It's getting really annoying.

For real. We literally JUST HAD A POWER GAIN node in VT. I think I'm gonna sit this season out.

Careful....we'll get an "Unstoppable, Unblockable, Indestructible when you look at the defender" node.

the mutant mastery meta was amazing

Auntmai is just full of years and years of useful ideas. Wanna have some crazy fun, lets just randomize em.

Aspect of chaos + Lifecyle
Assault battery + Brawl
Aspect of Chaos?!
What about all those weapon nodes they created in act 8? Open the flood gates.

Then lets give all classes some fun power ups to go with.

Relentless Mutation + Eat Crow + Mystic Consumption + Power Technician + Punishment Glutton + Cosmic Grit

They def should consider reworking VT / weeks 1/2, after last season. Weeks 3/4 is at least different in a block mashing meta.

Was paying attention, and opponent did NOT have Saga champs as their defender, but then in fight were still getting Power Gain ??

Can non-Saga (and more specifically, the 1/2 of Saga that benefits as Defender) champs get Power Gain as well (from the BG meta) ?

Of course. The saga node is the unblockable after specials.

The power gain is coming from the Conflictor node, which will benefit any defender not just the Saga ones

Aghhhh, yep.
Was looking out for one fist, just to be hit by the other fist.

The saga part of the meta only relates to gaining unblockable and bonus damage after the special.

Conflictor and whatever the periodic bleed node is called are what’s driving the power gain. And those apply to all defenders.

Kabam knows it's AI is so stupid,
The moment it have any kind of buff that gives power is the moment it will turtle and hold for sp3 only,
So bad

BeastDad

As if rampant modders are not bad enough.

Herbal_Taxman

I’m sure it’s difficult to design metas that are both challenging and fun, but this one misses for me. It’s more irritating than anything else. You’d think Kabam would steer away from metas where the signature experience is baiting specials.

Wakandas_Finest

It wouldn’t be as bad if there wasn’t the Phantom pain ( bleed ) node putting a debuff on the opponent also very sneaky of Kabam to make the bleed last longer than the cool down for conflictor. So you can’t even use champs that don’t place debuffs naturally to counter the conflictor because every champ places debuffs because in MCOC 25% chance means 100% chance for the A.I. meta is pure rubbish

TotemCorruption

This stupid node turns Punk into god dam Dark Phoenix. Should be another fun-filled season.

Herbal_Taxman

How’s it interacting with Punk’s kit to make him so much tougher on defense? I’ve got an r2 Punk but never learned him.

I assume they are trying to intercept him, you would need to have venom or an evade counter to intercept.

Not really sure because I only know how to use him on attack and never face him as a defender.
But he was a menace this last season too.
I assume it's just a combination of unfamiliarity with his kit with certain nodes that amplify it.
Like his SP2 can inflict ruptures through block, and as a defender he will always counter-stun you if you try to intercept him (whereas on offense there is a cooldown).
Also if you throw the same special against him twice the encore will inflict a rupture on you.

It would be nice if they added a SP3 lock with these power gain metas

venom stocks have been going up and up lately, he was a huge mvp for me during last meta

They better change it before the season starts.. im done with these powergain BS nodes give us something refreshing… Powergain + A.I is eating SP3’s… that mutant meta was very fun to play couple seasons ago.

BKSwisherSweet

Battlegrounds, where the rewards are radiant but the gameplay isn’t.

If the ai co-operate then its fine ( which ai will never do )
