Does anyone else find magneto boring to play?

I'm not trying to say he is bad, his damage output against almost 1/3 of the champions is incredible. I just find using him more than a couple times in a quest to be fairly boring and repetitive.

Yeah well nothing exciting about parry, heavy😋

SpideyFunko

I mean yes, but he’s grown on me. And that damage is so freaking satisfying

anaLysis_

He’s boring, but the pure sp3 satisfaction makes it all worth it

MaxtheSilent

I love playing him so much. I totally get your point but he's such a good character and his simplicity in playstyle is a plus in my opinion. But if he bores you I understand why.

a lot of "boring" characters exist lol .. but you get past it because of how effective they are. Red Mags, Quake, Rasputin ..all not exciting but the payoff is.

In stun immune matchups, he’s super fun because he’s so hard to effectively play.

Idk man I mainly try to heavy counter with Mags and it makes me feel like a ninja lol. I actually really enjoy playing champs that can consistently heavy counter. It's like sneaking a, "Oh you think I can't reach you BOOM take that punk!!"

I don’t use him anywhere I can; I only use him for the annoying DH Warlocks etc. if it’s like, Nebula or a Vision I will use someone else (so long as they don’t have a dumb node that would necessitate Mags)

With just parry heavy, yes. As others have said the damage is satisfying though. And against stun immune it's quite fun weaving those heavies in.

Rasputin?

Rasputin?

That's Rasputin. I won't get deep into his history, but he was a historical figure in Russia. An absolute mad lad.

I assume @DeaconVelvet was referring to CAIW, he does sort of look like Rasputin.

I think Rasputin is actually Colossus. It’s his name.

Personally I’m not a fan of these buffs being heavy/combo meter for damage. That being said,the damage overwhelms the fact that I dislike those formats

I’m glad I’m not the only one that doesn’t like parry-heavy

Same. I have nothing against the damage because it's awesome. He just bores me.

I won't say it's the parry-heavy play style because I'm not getting bored with Collosus. Idk why

For me it’s the extended stun duration, the focus is on charging the heavy, not the release. There is only his specials to get excited about. His basic attacks lack any feel, snap or big damage like capiw, or colossus. There’s no benefit to heavy spamming either like warlock or HB. He doesn’t play like other heavy biased champs, he’s like a mega boring sunspot.

Palanthrax

His heavies are far more exciting when he’s awakened and high sig. The additional energy damage is considerable.

fchskm

Yeah, but the big white numbers of special 3 are satisfying.

Good to know, just awakened him.

I personally find him okay to play. It’s kinda chill sometimes. Especially when he’s awakened and you have that sweet, sweet burst damage on heavies. I find mags to be a bit fun and you don’t, but that’s okay. Everyone has their own cup of tea.

Against metal champs you can continuously rack up indefinite prowesses up to 99 with each heavy and against all champs when he’s awakened you get a burst of at least 1,200+ when you have an r4 mags at sig 30 or above. The statement that he gets no benefits from heavy spamming is laughable.

Fair enough I’ll give it a go, only just awakened mine but was a natural dupe so sig 20.

I hadn’t seen the benefit heavy chaining so far over parrying and charging longer (my point really was his heavies don’t do 20k + damage like warlock and HB can) but at the same time I find him boring af outside of incursions so guess not spent enough time exploring.

My prowess seem to cap around 40 so I’m clearly doing something wrong 🤷🏽‍♂️

It's slow for sure to build up prowess and get to that sp3, so yeah can be a bit tedious but I still enjoy playing with him overall.
