The Necessary evil

We have seen the champs we love most and talked about it a lot on forums.

Let's do another round but this time we will tell about one or 2 champs from each class , which we don't like due any reason which can be their playstyle, animation or anything else. But we still ranked them up very high and invested in them because no matter how much we dislike them we still use them because we know they will do the job and can be best bet than others. I'll go first

Cosmic :-Corvus
His playstyle and limits to charges

Mystic :-BWCV
She gives mix feeling. She don't hit that hard and i don't find really much reason to use her. But still use her when immunities comes into play. She can be fav sometimes and sometimes she's just boring to play for me

Science : Mr F
He is awesome in general but not for me. Just can't find that much useful due to my own Playstyle and preference. Just use him for pre-fight abilities.

Skill : NF
Really awesome champ but i hate him how his damage capabilities are in 2nd life. Have him at r3 , feeded him ag because i knew he is useful where none can but still hate his playstyle and that low hp fear

Mutant : Kitty
I have her only 5 star but really don't find that much fun ( my personal opinion).

Tech : Ultron
This one just get on my nerves especially when i have to parry and he evades. Not a fan and his mechanic just ruined him for me

I like this topic.

Tech: Vulture
He was, and still is, my favorite due to his utility. But everything he does that I use him for, iDoom does but better pretty much (except that long armor break). So I hope I never pull iDoom, because then my Vulture will be benched.

Mutant: Omega Red
I have suicides unlocked, but I hate using him because you can't stack that degen or refresh it. It you could, he'd be my 2nd favorite (behind Vulture).

Cosmic: Herc
Use him all the time, and my play has gotten sloppier. I also hate it when I'm in war and forget that people run assassins and I don't procure that immortality buff. But one death doesn't hurt too much in silver 1. And I haven't mentioned Vulture in this paragraph so Vulture.

Mystic: Rintrah
He's duped, and I keep overshooting his sp2. I get caught in the opponent's special, and then I get pushed to sp3. I just can't play him well except in BG. Way more damage than Vulture though.

Skill: Falcon
He's great, but I can't dupe mine. I need those extra seconds from his sig. Just like I needed Vultures dupe to get his extra chitari charges.And I hate This Rags animations.

Science: She-Hulk
I bring her tons of places, but I just don't know how people manage her furies so well. It's harder than getting crits with Vulture.

But really, I hate my sig 200 r3 Ghost that I did because my alliance told me she was so good. You apparently need some skill for her.

HamoBlamo51

Science: Void
I like this dudes design but i despise his slow playstyle, also running suicides makes this man almost unusable,

Skill: Falcon
He's got really good utility but i absolutely hate how boring it is to play him. dash back hold block, MLLLM, MLLLM, MLLLM, SP2, Repeat

Mutant: Omega Red
Not bothered with the sig investment also i hate playing slow, which is this whole dudes thing so he's a big no for me

Tech: IMIW
this dude is the worst, along with being an absolute pain on defense his animations are disgusting to me, the way his double medium plays out just gives me the ick, also his damagee is pretty trash so that's not good

Cosmic: CMM
I know she's good and cool and all but i hate how stressful it is to keep up her charges and how little you get from a heavy, if they added a synergy which gave her like a 8 charges per heavy then id like her alot more

Mystic: Rinttrah
Pretty much the same reason as IMIW, i hate his animations and hes a pain on defense, also his sp2 being such a hit or miss

Also off topic but i got a 6* Jessica Jones from a bgc

AMS94

COSMIC
CGR to R4 - I know he's great but I just don't 3mjoy using him. Took him up bcoz of his value in BGs. Almost never use him anywhere else but he always finds a spot in my BG deck, which is what I ranked him up for.

SCIENCE
SM2099 to R3 - Buff immunity
AntiVenom to R3 - Ranked him up bcoz of his immunities but have still not used him in any meaningful content so don't know if he's eligible to be a part of this thread. Currently he sees action only 3-4 times year when I do arenas.

SKILL
Aegon to R3 - too him up for incursions but he's never a part of my Incursions team
Thor Ragnarok to R3 - took him for 6.4.6 Carina Challenge

MUTANT
ProfX to R3 - just don't like his playstyle. Took him up bcoz of immunity to reverse controls.

TECH
Untron to R3 - Good champ after his buff. Took him up as an additional Bishop counter but these days I hardly ever use him. Even invested some sigs in him.

MYSTIC
Hood to R3 - I haven't played too much with him yet but do far I haven't liked him too much. May be my opinion will change the more I start playing with him.
I can't deny his value in controlling tricky cosmics, which is the main reason I took him up even unduped.

I can understand that Herc one actually. I am also getting bored of his playstyle and i am finding myself using him less day by day meanwhile champs like CGR, Galan and Mr negative are rising in my ranks.

Congrats for that Jessica Jones mate
And for that void i can totally understand the pain. I have him at r4 max sig but without suicide i understand the frustration

Iron Patriot - He only spins

Jokes aside
The champs I Hate playing
Kitty Pryde - I used her a few times but I haven't been able to master her so well.
CGR - i love this guy but When I get bad RNG he doesn't crit at all
Guardian - Not good against energy resistance champs like Shuri but only one in my roster who can parry her
Captain Marvel Movie - She takes time to ramp up and takes more time against non energy champs

You don't have Angela? Class advantage and can parry non contact hits.

Not sure there is any champ i hate playing with who is supposed to be OP and i have a lot of them.

Maybe Mr. Negative simply because when i use his evade somehow the defender always recovers before I can hit them after it.

Pikolu

Cosmic: Corvus
The dude is boring and the only time I've used him in the last 17 months was for a legend run on the EQ with Sersi.

Mystic: Doom
The dude is a great champion, but he is extremely boring to play. Recently I've been purposefully avoiding using him, and I will never r4 him since I don't want my pfp to be just him until I can r5 someone.

A few honorable mentions is herc being boring and too EZ to play. CGR because I like dexterity, but I'm starting to warm up to him due to BGs. Knull because having to ramp up every fight is boring to me.

TheLightBringer

Cosmic: Hyperion, Is he a bad champ? No. But is he the best champ to do anything, also No. I still don't know why people rate him as a top 5 cosmic when he's not the best in anything, too much RNG involved.

Mystic: BWCV, she has a unique ability with buff immunity but everything else about her is average at best

Science: Mr Fantastic, too slow for me even when I'm doing a perfect fight with him I end up losing because of the time, in solo content there's always better science champs

Mutant: Stryfe, he's not a better aegon, and there's absolutely no reason to use him outside everest content

Skill: Elsa bloodstone, she's not that good, totally overrated by some secret hidden colt of players

Tech: Guardian too much rampup, he was great first because if AAR immunity but with Nimrod and OS now I find no reason for using him

None of these is a fact as well, just my opinion

Mutant: Professor X

Cosmic: Hyperion. He's just a stupid tank on defense, but sluggish and horrific to play on offense. I ranked him up for Battlegrrounds as he was the meat muscle so many struggle against on defense, myself included.

Science - Human Torch. He makes fights too easy. I know that seems like a trivial complaint, that we shouldn't be upset about that, but his playstyle is so boring because of that that if I'm against a mystic, it's just continually tapping and the person is reduced to dust. Leveled primarily so people would potentially block him in Battlegrounds and I can bring one of my favorite science champions into the fight as a Trojan horse.

Mutant - Domino. RNG always kicks my butt when she's on defense, but on offense I've never figured out her play style. I'm leveling my 5 star for Battlegrounds.

Skill - Kingpin. His playstyle is so clunky, but losing so often to him in fights even with great mutants, I just decided to level him so people might blocck him in Battlegrounds.

Mystic - Hood. I only ranked him as I had no Mystic of any decent strength so much. I've never figured out his playstyle, but he's one of my top 5 champions because I've thrown a lot of levels into him.

Tech - It's definitely Punisher 2099. Similar to Hood, I had no decent Tech champions at the time, so advanced him to help me with some Act 4 and Act 5 content I couldn't power through with a 4-star. I've since got many better tech champions, including Peni Parker.

Magrailothos

Mutant: Namor. Insanely useful in certain situations, but not a lot of fun in others.
Skill: Nick Fury. Does insane damage with maxed Deep Wounds, but basically unbelievably dull to play: MLLLL, MLLLL, MLLLL, bait Special, MLLLL, MLLLL, MLLLL.....
Tech: Guilly-2099. Pretty slow in her first game; and has a restrictive need to finish on SP3 to become amazing in the next match.
Mystic: Symbiote Supreme: I can totally see the utility, but I find it too frustrating that his Power Gain is completely passive, and you frequently can't chain on the end of your intended combo.
Science: So far, I'm not finding Quicksilver much fun. The combo feels weird, and it's kind of stressful trying to maximise the Whiplash debuffs, especially if you're taking advantage of the SP1 Attack increase. For now, I'm sticking with Scorpion, and idly wondering if I'm crazy to consider taking Titania to r3 over QS...
Cosmic: Hercules - Basically, he's so ridiculously overpowered in his Immortality phase, it feels like I'm cheating.

If you high sig Knull then you don't have to ramp up

That's true, but my knull is not awakened and I rather not have another cosmic competing for my roster attention.

Shadowstrike

Kitty and Ghost are pretty much the same Champion to me, especially with how their damaged potential is supposed to work out and I can just never figure them out. What sucks for me is that I pulled a six-star Kitty thanks for the banquet crystals and everybody's congratulating me like it's the second coming and I'm just looking at her like, "Okay, I guess.." 🤷‍♂️.

That prof x explanation is on point. His playstyle makes me hate him sometimes as well but he he do the job phenomenally in abyss

Wow in this thread lot of OP champs are boring to some players. Totally get that point.
Having the necessary evil makes job easier but funwise we just don't like them much. I am excited for more replies to this thread
Want to know how much important the champs to content but aren't fun for them.

Mr.0-8-4

Champion: Kang the Conqueror
Class: Tech
Reason: Hoping he gets buffed one day.

Even though Kang is next to useless, I ranked him up because I'm hoping Kabam revisits this character and gives him a massive rework. There's SO much you could do with time travel abilities. Aging debuffs, temporal distortions (fancy name for projectile phasing buffs), forcefields, SP3 time-traveling cinematic.

Champion: Karnak
Class: Skill
Reason: He was my first 6-star (also the first 6-star I awakened)

When they announced that Karnak was getting a buff, I was excited but he still feels like a champ that requires a lot of work to use properly. I like his Inhuman heritage and his design. I just wish he had pierce debuffs or at least longer-lasting fragility debuffs.

Wu_Bangerz23

Cosmic--Corvus has to be the most overrated champ in this class.....he hits hard is his biggest pro. There are now 10 champs in this class alone that can keep up with him damage wise....and it's stressful making sure to not blow your load in ten seconds (glaive charges)

Skill--Aegon and it's not close. He's known for huge health pool fights and just isn't fun to play. I don't want to do massive health pool fights with one of the most boring, repetitive champs in the game.

Mystic---Morningstar--Ive tried to like her on so many occasions. I know there are a few MS fanboys out there but I can't do it....it's not 2017 anymore. Her ramp up is exponentially harder vs 2022 health pools.

Mutant-- Red Mags. Before everyone kills me. I'm over him. It was cool for a while and I'll inevitably use him 100x this year vs some metal trashcan but it's still boring....heavy, parry, heavy, parry, heavy and finalllllly xidndjieuxdhbuzevrjzkzjbdbcrashboom.

Tech--Ghost. I've learned to ghost 👻 and even got decent at it but to me there's usually a better tech option or at least there's another option that is close option wise but not nearly as stressful and doesn't require a synergy.

Science--Quake/Mr Neg-- I don't want to play a fighting game by not fighting. Sorry.

Flip side of all this (champs I'm having the most fun playing lately.......gorr, nimrod, omega sentinel, Titania, Wong, Tigra)
