**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.
There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.

Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

    Overrated:
    Ghulk: Of course he can shine with DOT passives, but not much else?
    Namor: Same as Ghulk. Moreover: Needs max sig, long ramp up, and too agressive playstyle for the immunities. Don't like him.
    others:
    HT, Blade

    Underrated:
    Taskmaster
    Dormammu

    Domino is one of the most overrated characters in Contest of Champions.

    Why?

    Her damage relies on luck and luck alone.

    She has very little utility.

    Her prestige is pretty bad.

    If your opponent is bleed immune, what's the point of even using her?

    If your opponent is incinerate immune, what's the point of even using her?

    Flaming trinity is her only good use. She's pretty great with masacre and red hulk, but be honest with yourself... why would you waste two slots on masacre and red hulk when you could have just brought 3 beyond god tier champions instead?

    Domino is still a good option if she's one of your only options. I'm not trying to be a dickhead and say "just quake everything, loser" or "just use ghost for everything, loser" or "use colossus on everything, loser" or "use doom on everything, loser" etc...

    But what I'm trying to say is that compared to the other characters you could have brought into a quest, almost ANY quest for that matter, there are better options.

    If you're in act 6, it's not like you have very few 5* champions. You can't really complain about your limited range of champions after you've played long enough to get to endgame content. You're bound to have a better mutant than domino, seeing as how mutant as a class is so broken.

    I'm not saying domino is a horrible champion, but she's really nothing special. I don't even understand why people are happy when they pull her.

    Another overrated champion, sunspot, has some of the same flaws as domino, mostly revolving around his low utility and lack of practical use. But unlike domino, sunspot's damage doesn't rely on pure luck, he's arguably much more sustainable having a consistent perfect block, doesn't rely on synergies, and has GREAT prestige.

    So why exactly do people like domino anyway? Because every ten years she can hit a critical bleed, get a perfect block, unexpectedly evade while lucky, and do some flashy incinerates?

    Maybe people like having a character with no immunities, no power control, no buffs to clear buffed up, not enough debuffs to clear diss track, no evade/miss/auto block counters, and **** prestige. Maybe people like wasting 2 extra slots on their team for B list characters like masacre and red hulk.

    No thanks. I'd take old man logan over domino any day.

    On the argument that AA is underrated, he is.

    I've been told that he's only good in act 5 and not in act 6 due to the fact that your opponent needs to not be bleed and poison immune.

    This is pretty **** reasoning because there are roughly 41 characters that are immune to AA, based on bleed immunity, poison immunity, or both, and not counting ability accuracy reduction immune champions.

    Since there are 189 characters in contest of champions, that means that about 20% of characters are AA immune, which seems like a lot, but when you realize that AA would be arguably, and in my opinion, the BEST character in the game if not for that 20%, you start to realize that AA is the best option for literally 80% of the champions in the game.

    He is one of the only characters who can fully reduce ability accuracy to 0%, which is arguably the most useful utility in the game. The only limit to his utility is that he has no forms of power control and isn't immune to damage over time, but since biohazard and caltrops aren't even real problems for AA, why does that even really matter?

    It's not like you're gonna take him into an iceman fight, but then again, it's not like you're gonna take domino.

    Overall, AA is underrated because he's much more useful than a lot of people take him for in endgame content. People make it seem like he loses a TON of value after act 5 like blade, which isn't really true.

    On the argument that blade is overrated, I agree. He served his purpose as a 4* and got me through a LOT of act 5. Well done, blade, but I won't be using you any time soon.

    That's enough of my ranting. If anybody sees this, i'd love to hear your opinions because I obviously have nothing better to do.

    Peace.

    AA is under rated, everyone knows hes good, but ive seen very few people who know just how insane he is.

    Domino is so universally accepted as being overrated that at this point she might actually be underrated

    Do you realize how many people have made the same thread?

    Edit: nevermind, this was a revived thread

    But in all honesty i've been told that Domino is beyond god tier and at one point the best character in the game. Now that i've formed my own opinion and made the mistake of R4ing 5* domino, I now realize that the character was never as good as people said she was.

    Overrated: Ghost
    Underrated: Rogue

    This is simply untrue I'm sorry
  • Alt_Zeta22Alt_Zeta22 Posts: 24
    Ghost is considered the best (if not the second best) for very good reason.

    There is very little that one cannot do with ghost and the quantum trinity.

    Rogue is underrated tho I'll give you that.
  • NojokejaymNojokejaym Posts: 3,892 ★★★★★
    @Alt_Zeta22 well that’s your opinion about ghost. But yes you’re right about rogue.

  • Alt_Zeta22Alt_Zeta22 Posts: 24
    But how is ghost overrated though now i'm curious @Nojokejaym
  • Alt_Zeta22Alt_Zeta22 Posts: 24
    Are you saying that there are better options in general or that ghost isn't actually that good
  • NojokejaymNojokejaym Posts: 3,892 ★★★★★
    @Alt_Zeta22 I don’t like or enjoy playing ghost that much and I consider her good champ but not better than other champs. She’s good but not as good as people make her out to be. A champ that uses synergies to be great is blah to me.
  • GreekhitGreekhit Posts: 2,804 ★★★★★
    Overrated:
    Miles Morales
    Come on this champ need synergy even to be able to parry 🤣
    Worst champ in the game in my opinion
    Underrated:
    Quake
    Ghost
    They should have their own tier above the beyond god tier 👍

    @Alt_Zeta22 well that’s your opinion about ghost. But yes you’re right about rogue.

    @Nojokejaym Maybe u just rnt good at using her, I easily did act 6 completion without synergies a bit back. If you rely on the wasp synergy u havant mastered her, and you only need to bring hood for very few matchups. If u say that other champs r better then idk who u could be referring to other than quake.
    @JoshKosh557 Everyones go to is “you must not no how to use her if you don’t like her” lol such rubbish, people can’t just not like her is that a huge problem. I can use her without synergies no problem she just not as good as she is with synergies. Synergies she’s much better more damage and unblockable specials. I like Hyperion, cmm, longshot and other champs than her.
