New Iron man too Overpowered

Looks like this new iron man is going to be a BS aw defender. His sig ability auto-block is unpredictable and it can trigger parry. Add this to the fact that he can autoblock for days gain power and is virtually invincible when below 15% will make him almost unbeatable at a miniboss node (specially kinetic reactor one)

When a new Iron Man who is actually good comes to the game and people start complaining that he is too OP

smh

Use Karnak

@the_unknown My bad there....i wanted to say that the autoblock parry seems too OP as AW defender

Kabam really trying to profit on Aw at the moment. Releasing new characters with autoblock that can parry you. There’s no skill that comes from it, 100% chance to parry you if he has one stack of armour which if you wait out the armour he has a 1 in 4 chance to trigger anyway. That’s like if spidey stunned you every time he evaded, and we all know how often it seems like he evades.

Just watch Kabam start releasing more champions with true strike, so they can make money off people trying desperately to counter autoblock.

We finally get a good defender that doesn’t get crushed by Blade and you’re complaining? Just use Quake or someone with true strike.

@Bahamut he gains power passively....so best of luck trying to use quake!

Champs with true strike are limited....only karnak that i can think of who's "easily" accessible (don't have him btw either...not complaining

)

Wouldn't it be better to remove the parry part from autoblock...like modok?

Isn't it 4 stacks when he gets the chance to auto-block? which is manageable.

The only issue I see is with sig ability, which gives him 8 instantly.

So with his sig it gives him 8 instantly, which auto blocks and gives him power. I just wait for those to expire, but after they do expire when he’s under 15% and gets even one stack of armour he autoblocks anyway

So this is from Seatin’s stream. You see Iron man with 1 stack of armour here

And this is when the hit connects, iron man actually uses his special anyway, but regardless you can see that he autoblocks with 1 armour stack

Quake? Don’t make me laugh, with Iron man’s dash attack that can’t trigger evades. You let me know when you try quake, hint you’ll be charging your heavy and he’ll dash and wreck you.

Kabam said his auto block isn't supposed to Parry and they will work on fixing it

Find that hard to believe, I’d love to be proved wrong though.

Well that is what they said I didn't say I could confirm it

charaderdude2

Only solution I see is either make it not trigger parry,or "When struck twice"

TeriGaandMeKaddu

Use mordo. Case dismissed.

@BitterSteel Yea his sig seems problematic. But it seems like a bug. He should only auto-block with 4 stacks of armor.. :S

If you take a look at the sig ability then I’m afraid it’s not a bug. It says while under the effects of AN armour effect has a 100% chance to autoblock all attacks without consuming the armour. It only needs 1 armour to infinitely autoblock parry you while the armour is up. It’s a ridiculous ability.

I think what he means is new IM is designed for money grab only. His abilities has nothing to do skill, he can auto block even he is stunned. Only kabam will benefit alot from him by making alliances spent more.

Okay I’ll admit that Auto Block while he’s stunned is bs.

When a D Lister can be God tier
Then why not a A Lister be

NiteAndDae

I think that the game has finally jumped the shark, escalating arms race of abilities and triggers is spiraling ...

Ch1efster

Wait till they throw him up as an Uncollected Boss next event (or Boss Rush sometime) AND put him on a node that has the parry ability.

Mattylo

So this is kinda the first offical NERF IW ironman congrats

This is the third or fourth one from what I've seen

He’s ridiculous. Even if there is a single champ that can effectively counter his abilities, that doesn’t make him any less ridiculous. Fighting him in uncollected was one of the worst experiences in the game (bar lag and other issues) for me. To the point that I actually didn’t even pay attention very much. I just ploughed on until he was finally down. If skill is taken out of the equation, like in this fight, the fun goes too. Hard fights are fine. Getting auto blocked / parried all the damn time for no reason other than Kabam wants you to, isn’t. Most boring champ to fight in MCOC history.

RetroRocks

I agree with the principle that the new IM sig ability is a little OP.
Autoblock with Medusa is fine, wait it out, do 1 strike, knock her back with a heavy, Parry her to wait out her fury. All good skill moves.
Can't do any of that with IM if he's power gaining , baiting specials pushing you into the corner, unblockable heavy, unstunable on his dash attack, can't even nuliffy with a strike as he'll still have more than 4 armours to auto-block.
All of these in isolation are fine to play around, but all of them just seems like it's a little bit too much, way too many characters immediately defunct with no way to counter other than wait and hope to God the AI is defensive.
I like a challenge, but this feels like a bit of AI benefit vs human skill incorrect balance.

Just use Iron Man IW against him, duh. Half of his hits can't be parried.

/sarcasm-ish

MarzGroove

And to top it all off, he's not a villain. #silentbladenerf

Jwallace25

He definitely seems way overpowered. There is no fun and very little should involved when he gets under 15%.
