**WE ARE NO LONGER Temporarily Reverting Tier 1 War Ban System**
After further discussion, the game team has made the decision not make adjustements to the ban system.
The previously proposed fix would have resolved the issue for Summoners who are on the cusp of T1/T2 play, and negatively impacted Alliances more securely in T1. Instead, we recommend that cusp Alliances switch to Manual Placement to your members to place the allotted 5 Ban Champions limit there.
Apologies for the back and forth, and for any confusion.

This feels like the next level korg. I'm not enjoying these sq fights in the least.
Greedy kabam.... just want all our money!
In case you can't tell, that's sarcasm and you sound ridiculous.
Even if you push him to sp2, if the AI starts to get passive then the more you bait, the more health you'll lose
More than half of the bleed immune characters can't deal with the evade so in bg you need to choose to either lose some health or lose some time cause you need to wait the AI throw sp1 and then the evade charge expire and only then you can attack
You take the exact same bleed damage when you block his attacks, or when you dodge his attacks.
So to actually counter his abilities fully, you need to be simultaneously bleed immune, and have true strike/true accuracy/Coldsnap
Which is currently a pretty short list:
1 - Iceman
2 - (kind of) Iron Man Infinity War does have access to bleed immunity and his first medium attack can't be Evaded; so could partially fill this role, some of the time... Not exactly a reliable counter...
3 - (kind of) Proxima Midnight isn't bleed-immune, but she won't take bleeds through block, and she can access True Accuracy. She's actually a pretty decent option for him, although will take bleed damage if she makes the mistake of trying to Dodge anything; and obviously she can't keep the True Accuracy up 100% of the time.
Basically bleed immunity is the key - there are also a few champions who aren't exactly immune, but can power up/heal on his instant bleeds - Fantman, Gorr, Lady Deathstrike, Clare Voyant, Storm, Omega Sentinel.
Theoretically, anyone can reduce the impact of Killer Instinct by pushing Bullseye to SP2 by hitting into his block, since he won't Evade when blocking. This will inflict sufficiently less bleed damage than a pair of SP1s; and is probably the best option for most champions who accidentally find themselves fighting Bullseye and don't want a shed-load of bleed damage.
The real problem for me with bull’s-eye is that fighting him is mostly about doing a lot of nothing while you wait out his abilities, for which there are few counters. I don’t play the game to do nothing, that’s not how it works as a distraction? I find myself ending up needing to use weapon X, cause at least you can pretend to just sort of smash through. And frankly, doing nothing while you wait out bad things is a little too close to home for my actual reality right now.
I have to admit that this sudden torrent of wacky defenders is partially what finally pushed me to leaving alliance based play. I’m already a little unreliable because of my wife’s increasing needs, but to face this increasing array of odd battlegrounds Metas, overtuned war tactics, and these odd defenders every time we turn around, well, it’s all a bit much right now. Less distraction and more just stress. At least out of an alliance I can only disappoint myself if I need revives to deal with some bullseye somewhere!
I was struggling hard enough to find a Cosmic team for 3.2 and used up a ton of energt refills just attempting on a single path before I could get the lane done (literally the only champ i could get to last without using revives on the lane was a Venom with Odin prefight) -
But then I got to Bullseye. I've fought him before with Kitty with relative success. Since I had Odin on the team I couldnt add another boss fighter like Bishop so it was just Kitty. Even if I'm playing well phasing, at a certain point, he will inevitably corner you, so even if you're phasing and absorbing all of the damage, there comes a time where you won't be able to dash and phase again and then you're dead.
PLUS something in his kit has this infuriating mechanic where even if you're phased during a special taking no damage, somehow on the last hit or two he'll just saw "naw" and hit you and you'll take a ton of damage. It doesn't happen all the time but maybe 1/4th of the time which is enough to make even Kitty unreliable. I had to use 6 revives with Kitty to get Bullseye down, and that's just on one path.
After all that, I said I'm giving up on 100% thronebreaker even tho I'd done most of the other paths already. It shouldn't be that frustrating.
That stupid can hit Kitty when she phases, but she take no damage and gains rapid powers, so it's just sp-3 spam fest.
2. Use Domino trinity and spam heavies
3. Use Colossus and spam heavies
4. Use Emma frost, spam heavy as long as you are on your diamond form, when you switch to telepathic form he can't evade anyway, reach and throw a big SP2.
