**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event

**KNOWN ISSUE**
We have adjusted the node placement of the new AW maps to better allow path traversal. As a result, defender placements have been reset. Please, take a moment to re-place your defender setup. We will be pushing out a message in-game shortly.

If you want to be absolutely fair, Magneto's refraction scales with signature level, and even at sig 99 he tops out at about 14%. That means Magneto takes about three times the damage that Iceman takes when eating a large attack like a special 3. Iceman can only take an L3 when Ice Armor is active, but Iceman starts the fight with Ice Armor active and it reforms in 12 seconds awakened. Not many opponents can shoot you with two SP3 attacks in 12 seconds so in most fights Iceman will in fact be able to take more SP3 attacks than Magneto either in one fight or across many fights in a path.
I don't think you have much experience in this game.
LMFAO!
Sounds like someone's a little frosty they don't have an icicle to play with

Still 5 million cutoff don't you think?
However, the triple immunity is more of a gimmick. Having incinerate immunity is pointless. Only one champion in the whole game (Phoenix) can stack it and only with a certain number of passive charges.
His damage also isn't busted, it's just okay.
Having said that, he does have an amazing amount of utility between being partly sp3/stun immune, anti evasion, and bleed/poison immunity. It's just rare to have all those things on one champion. It also allows him to run suicides while still benefiting from Willpower and not taking damage.
For example, Agent Venom kind of does all those things, but just not with as much accuracy (sometimes he won't shrug everything off, and his anti evasion is not a 100%).
Since not gettinh hit is your answer to bleed and posin, what's your answer to nodes/buffs that give off either one? You don't need to be hit on those.
Thing is iceman is better than him.
@NormanBJJ yeah but besides magnito's other vulnerabilities, he throws pillows at his opponent. He is one of the worst offensive champs in the game. His ability to not die doesn't make him comparable.
Also, it would be kind of hilarious having a super OP champ.
THIS! only thing he'd activate md with tho is his armor if he loses it, but that's only 1 buff that activates every 15 seconds if u lose it. He works for everything. Such an amazing champ, he works great for all the new act 5 stuff, (5.2 and 5.3, we all know 5.1 was a cake walk lol).
Maybe evade reduction isn't the best, but it's awesome and better than most. Damage above average. His overall kit is matched by few even if any one ability isn't off the wall amazing. Not the best Magik AW boss killer, but I get half down before limboing to death on an r4/55.
But I digress, I'm biased because I wreck AQ and AW and act 5 with him and destroy stun immune and NC and spideys and hypes with him. This thread is so hilarious.
Ya when people are talking about being bleed/poison immune it's not referring to getting hit by wolverine and bleeding, it's about those paths in aq/aw.
Calling something "god tier" just initiates arguments over what god tier means. But I believe Iceman is a top tier champion. He occupies that space where you can argue who is in that tier, but there's nobody higher than that tier.
Voodoo is in there, Archangel is, Gwenpool I think is. Hyperion is in there. Stark Spidey is probably in there. Iceman is legitimately in there for me.
For me, arguing tiers is a bit abstract, especially because different champs are useful for different things. I think the practical question is: if you pulled that champion as a 5* would you immediately upgrade to 4/55 or would you save the t2a for a better draw in the future? That's a real question that has real world significance, because that could really happen to a real player. The champions I mention above fall into that category of generally being worth upgrading to 4/55 rather than waiting for something better farther into the future.
I should say fell into that category because I did pull Iceman as the featured and I did upgrade him to 4/55. So at the moment, I only have enough t2a to rank up one more 5*. So my decision making process is different now.
Already finds it funny from the very first post, even more funnier as I read through the thread.
You already list all the great abilities in Iceman; ALL of them in ONE champ. Others may have similar or better ability; Gwen (damage), Mag (L3 reduction), etc but rarely they have more than one compare to Iceman. If I want to bring them to AQ AW, I will definitely bring ONE that can do it ALL.
On the matter of if you are so good at not being hit, hence you don't need immunities... If you can hit a 1000 hit combo, I'm sure u can use a 2* Groot to fight the Collector.
You don't even have to read the nodes in AQ or AW with him because it doesn't matter, he counters everything. AA becomes useless against any immunity champ/node. Mags is useless always.
Also i said this already but immunity is to counter NODES, not enemies.
now who can do all these amazing things apart from iceman
it is true that other champs have his ablilties but not together archangel is good but not good on tripple immunity
even if u get parried by mistake he can remove it
