Bishop gets clowned on by Yondu for example. Easy matchup.
Doom just need to DoT him to death, Specials are easily evadable.
Domino is a cakewalk with Guardian.
Thing is hardcountered by Falcon.
Also, BPCW in God? Last I checked, people know when and when not to parry.
I would move Maw and Weapon X up one tier and maybe two tiers for Torch. Even with the best counters, things might still go pear shape quite quickly if there’s lag or missed parry here and there.
I think because of EOP, a lot of people got used to hard champs like Bishop, Dragonman, Peni and Terrax but since the list is for all people, I will agree with your list. We can start there and make adjustments as the meta changes.
@Terra - just because you can evade Doom’s specials, doesn’t mean most people can. I still struggle with his special 2 in AW. Even with proper counters, I hope at least you will agree that most people will avoid them if they have a choice.
-thing has far too many counters nowadays to be this high. 4 years ago you'd be correct
-ibom is a joke vs literally any poison immune champ
-just overall a ton of the defenders in the higher tiers don't fit there. This honestly looks like a 2018 tier list. BPCW, Emma, IMIW, Hype, Mangog, Prof X are all very doable fights if you have a half decent roster. Aegon just has me scratching my head, Angela literally feeds you hp through willpower, Corvus hasn't been a difficult fight since his release month.
-moleman in average and korg in above average however has me in TEARS
-OVERSEER IN BELOW AVERAGE
There's prob a lot I don't know about MCOC, but Angela is my mvp for almost all content.
She is virtually useless as a defender.
Claire will nullify her before she gets 3 buffs, Doom will also **** slap her into «no buffs land»…so her max sig means nothing defending against nullifiers.
Incidentally, most defenders have extremely good counters, most are also easily accessible to everyone. But some defenders are universally difficult to deal with without special counters...based on BG, and I'm in the GC, I can list the following champs from Beta up to season 3, which has given me the most success;
1. Nick Fury; Not difficult to handle, but takes time. If the parry bug appears, you're done.
2. Domino; Dex and sp2 straight in the face, heard of it before? With OS, she is easy to handle, but often gets banned.
3. Korg; My 5/65 Korg is probably the one of my defenders that has taken the most points. And I've pretty much faced Paragons all season with countless R4s.
4. Sauron; If you have Yondu, or some other tech champs that remove prowess effectively, he is no problem. If not, one quickly gets into trouble with unblockable combos and sp attacks. My 5/65 gets banned by 90 % of my opponents.
5. Peni Parker; Countless players with Herc, CGR, Knull and Hype have lost this season...I always use Mags myself, but it takes 50+ seconds before you have an sp3 ready… so one risks losing on time, even with close to 100% health left.
I also have great success this season with Moleman, Kingpin, King Groot, Mordo and Mags as defenders. They are not complicated or difficult, but my experience is that many people spend a lot of time getting them down.
