    Did anyone force you to buy her?

    nothing was forced but you'd expect more time than several weeks before a hard counter

    This is probably just the new normal. I mean, it’s what they’ve always done — it’s just that the cycles are getting faster and faster. Time was, if you bought a Dark Phoenix, you probably enjoyed a noticeable competitive advantage for something like six months. Now? You get to stampede folks with Dark Phoenix for a couple weeks.

    She already had a few decent counters in Hood and White Tiger.... who you also didn't have to buy like Nico. Same with just about every defender. A few counters exist that are more accessible than the new champs you have to buy bundles for.

    Tell that to the guy who spent like 150k real money on banquet 🤣


    Hey but it’s “his money” right?

    Every champion has counters, even using my jack against all these r4’s onslaught still a pain.

    Crazy how everyone making big deal about dark pheonix getting countered, the real counter is spending that much on a r4 champion.

    And the 40k units spent to get her were each person's units? Where are you trying to get? Lol ..

    Hood was more than decent, he annihilates her. Wiger I think does pretty well but not as good

    This GC meta is annoying and I got smacked here but Shathra (r3 vs r3) demolishes her. I assume in a regular meta she’d cook her without taking as much damage

    Serpent has multiple counters already and he's still #1 defender in the game, one hard counter doesn't really change much I've gotten wins even with champs like Iceman so I really don't think this is that big of a deal. If anything it's kinda necessary because it'd be very unfair if they kept her as a huge unavoidable threat for months.

    Forgot about serpent, even my dog counters bullseye and still he's in every deck. Nico isn't the first one we already have a bunch of hard counters like iceman hood shathra mojo etc.

    Same with Domino, every new tech counters her in some way and she still wins me most of my matchups lol

    I’m not op, but I did dp, she’s banned 9.5 times out of 10 in bg’s for me.

    That every champion has counters.

    Every normal person is waiting for Nico to come to the Titan but that’s another 3 months of waiting, or you spend $100 to get the 6* right now.

    Everyone making big deal about dark pheonix getting a dedicated counter.

    Onslaught,serpent, etc easily gets counter. Doesn’t stop people from ranking them up.

    I rather have dark pheonix than to not have her is what I’m saying.


    Also just seen videos what she can do vs cosmics and she’s pretty much op when it comes to it, if she wasn’t op then not a lot people would want her.

    Seen some crazy things from her already. But that’s what we need these days for better op champs.

    2 things I've learned when it comes to these champs:
    1. only chase who you really, really WANT. That way, you'll never feel like you wasted money or units, even if a counter is later released.

    2. If you have FOMO, remove it and you'll save yourself a lot of disappointment.

    I don't get where you are going on both of your replies. So... Keep up the good fight 👍

    I get the sense they are more like transcribed internal monologues than actual replies to something someone else said.

    What is your in-game name? I'd like to run some friendlies against her with my CMM if you don't mind. I need to practice and strategize to get familiar with DPHX's abilities.

    Because it's all about GETTING the counter... you can have all 6 and they still pull him last draft and you have nothing and is why he is still top. The niche offense needed to counter these new champs is making BGs an RNG casino

    Agreed, Nico changes nothing for me DP is still a trap defender. I've also lost to Peni myself because I no longer run Galan and Hulkling in my deck the r3 is so tanky.
