AW - Surprise Surprise
No this is not another matchmaking post, but an amusing little story.
Decided to take the top right path with two hidden nodes, as having scouted the summoners’ profiles they seemed likely to be tough defenders.
Noticed one of the summoners had a duped 5* rank 5 level 65 Medusa in their profile - and had not put her on any visible nodes nor used her in attack.
So with my Spongebob smug face on I opted to take Dr Voodoo (4/55) instead of CAIW (5/65). Yes I know Medusa is poison immune, but Voodoo’s SP1 can nullify her fury buffs which makes for an easier fight.
My Spongebob smug face instantly melted away when I discovered I was facing....Human Torch. Geez, can anyone skill their way to victory under those circumstances?
I’m not salty about it, but man, the way I felt taking a wooden staff to a flamethrower fight is kinda how I imagined I should feel taking a #Metal champ to a Magneto fight (please give him a “Mag and Frag” buff
).
Anyway, what other matchups can you think of that can go so horribly wrong for an attacker?

Ghost/CG vs Sinister or Maw.
As a rule if you're on Path 7 bring highly ranked mutant - I suppose there's a lot less chance of coming up against an Elsa with suicides if you're in a lower tier as she's relatively new but I've found that bringing someone like Domino or Colossus as my main champ for path 7 has been the safest option to cover all grounds.
Folks seemed to have caught on to that now though, and smart players will never take Corvus against a hidden node for just that reason.
It was NOT ok.
1. Non-contact attacks.
2. Korg’s SP1 giving me plasma charges.
Make sure rock shield is down before wasting an SP2/SP3 however.
