Sasquatch, I'll never forgive him for ruining my nothern expeditions epic runs, even if I definitely shouldn't have been able to do epic at that point and could only manage it because it was a pretty easy quest when he didn't show up.
When I was a newer player I was in an alliance that was really too high for me at the time, which helped me a lot. I only had a couple of 4*s and I pulled 4* Joe Fixit. I asked if he was good and no one was brave enough to tell me the truth. Bear in mind this was pre willpower nerf and Joe Fixit was arguably the worst champ in the game. If you were using him vs anyone with willpower he was like an amazing doctor who would keep the opponent at full health the entire fight. But everyone felt bad for me and didn't want to tell me the awful truth, so I ran the hell out of the daily quests to get the resources to take him immediately to R3. Used units for energy refills so I could rank him in time for War defense as I was trying to get 3*s off the team. It wasn't long before I discovered just how bad he was. I sold him in order to complete my first ever 5* crystal and pulled SL and sold him every time I pulled him after that for ages. He won't quit me though and I now have the 4* at max sig lol. He isn't nearly as bad as he used to be but I still hate him and still might sell him again.
Thing. I never learned to beat him until recently. My tactic iwas just hit him till he isn't moving anymore. Sometimes, he cooperates and throws his specials before getting to 15 rock stacks. Other times he goes unblockable and unstoppable and either KO's me or get my health low. Even today that i can manage him somewhat, I still panic a little and try to overwhelm him with force. What makes it worse is that I have never had a good thing counter until recently
Wanna parry? Well, he shrugs off debuffs and becomes stronger. okay, maybe intercept? Heck no! He returns part of the damage from mediums, heavies and specials back to you. Ummm, maybe try eat a full combo to block and counterattack him? Good luck with that, he goes unblockable and unstoppable if u simply dash back. And be sure you don't hit his block too much, he'll go unstoppable too.
Aside from all of this his sp1 is unblockable and is very hard to evade... Oh, I forgot to say he receives less damage when rock is active.
His class is pretty much messed up too. He is skill, so the best counters are mutants, yes? YES? Nope. Korgs main weakness are energy/non-contact attacks. Most mutants do contact attacks, and most mutants attacks are not energy-based. There are more mystics who deal energy damage.
Maybe mystics are a good counter to him? They can nullify unstoppable and unblockable, yeah? Nope, because they are passive, so u need slow. And who has slow?
We don't count Pyramid X storm, because she puts it only for duration of special attack 1. We don't count synergies, because they are synergies -_-
So, we have 5 potential counters. Btw, most counters (maybe all of 'em, I'm not sure about Shulk) were not in the game when Korg was released. This proofs that he has horrible design.
3 of 5 are science champions, so their slow will not work on Korg. We have only 2 counters for Unstoppable: Stealthy and Sorcerer Supreme. Stealthy isn't a perfect counter too: he relies on refreshing his debuffs, which can be shrugged off if rock shield is active.
We have only 1 champion, who has energy attacks and can handle Korgs unstoppable: Sorcerer Supreme. And again, Korg may just shrug off that Slow. Sorcerer Supreme was released in 2020, while Korg is in game since 2018.
If we put aside unstoppable, we have Havok, Namor, Omega, Iron Man IW, Claire, Hype and couple of other counters.
And what about attack? Well, he's a wet noodle. He doesn't have debuffs, except for the bleed on SP2. I wanna remind u that most of good skill champs either put a lot of dots on opponents (Squirrel Girl, Blade, Ronin, Black Widow, EVEN BLACK PANTHER) or do hit like a truck (Stealthy, Aegon, Taskmaster). Some of them even combine this two abilities: Monkey, Elsa, Nick, Masacre. Korg does none of this.
I can talk about his horrible design for hours, but there is a lot of text already, hope it's enough.
you forgot the best counter against him and thats omega red. takes no damage with mediums and heavy attacks cos he uses his tentacles. get those spores up and ure good to go
I've actually never had lag the whole time I've been playing except for occasional things like DP Sp2.
Don’t forget the UCEQ DarkHawk boss. It was so bad you had to pause at the start of the fight so all the nodes could load in so you could actually move before he smacked you in unblockable mode.
Korg, IMIW ... and before I discovered Megamind, Killmonger i hated on Map 6 lol. but yea i just hate fighting Korg and IMIW .. .Korg mostly because i can beat IMIW 95% of the time i just hate fighitng him ... but Korg .. i don't even attempt. he's just stupid.
Nightcrawler. Early on when I played, and still today, he would just wreck me. I am never able to get him into swashbuckling mode and he just likes to slap me around
