**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

I’m not arguing whether or not he’s good or bad... I’m just pointing out the ridiculousness of comparing him to sentry in the comics... same same but different... people just need to accept it and move on... I don’t sit and **** when my Phoenix gets done by ant man... I just get better at the game...
I get your point and willing to give kabam latitude for champ development. I still wish Phoenix was better as well. Im not a big fan of her damage output but in comparison her damage is better than his. If he was just an average champ there would still be complaints but not to this degree. He is just a really bad champ. We should all be upset when Kabam does a bad job. They want our time and money they need to earn it. They really missed the mark here. I keep thinking he's a rank lower than he actually is..
Yes, the game can't, won't, and shouldn't make its champions JUST like the comics. But the comics, and other media, are inspirations for the characters. I mean, Vision does a power drain. Power drain isn't a thing in the comics. The characters don't need to build up a power meter to use a special, they just use them. So every character is ALREADY a deviation meant to create a fun fighting-style game. We ALREADY are assuming that. Pointing out that we "shouldn't want the in-game champions to be as powerful as the comics" is just making yourself antagonistic for no purpose other than to be antagonistic. And your line about you just getting better at the game... Wow... If only we were ALL as humble as you...
And I'm curious... Going by your advice... Sentry is now added to the game. He's underwhelming (at best). And my solution to discovering this is... To just get better at the game? And that will somehow negate the fact that Sentry is sub-par? I mean... What??? Those two things have nothing to do with each other.
I have a ****-ton of champions that allow me to do pretty much any aspect of this game, but I still want the new champions that get released to be interesting. I don't want the new champions to be Kamalas and Luke Cages and Karnaks. Do you? Wouldn't you rather they release champions that people get excited about, and try and hope to collect and rank up and stuff?
This. Simply put, and spot-on.
The only ‘par’ he is sub is your own.. lol... you’ve created an idea in your own head of what he should be like... he isn’t... move on; that’s my point...
Sure - he’s a bad champ... we’ve all established this and I’m not arguing... I’m just pointing out the uselessness of most people’s arguments and suggesting we accept it and move on... It’s done.. he’s made... either get him and use him or don’t... there are PLENTY of other champs to use...
I can't personally understand why people get the featured champ the very second it's released, take it to rank 4, and then complain that it's awful. There are so many people buying the featured GMCs that there's usually a Winter Soldier takedown up within a few hours of the champ going live.
I have a science awakening gem, I wanted him to be good, but he's another Carnage. It happens. We're going to get some duds, he's one of them. They can't all be winners. Admittedly, the science class needs some love, but we've still got Void and Gulk to come.
Yeah, I think a lot of it is that Science, as a class, is not in a very good place right now. Comparing all of it's champs, it's easily the weakest. 2017 saw only 1 addition to it's roster in MODOK. So yeah, I think people were hoping that Sentry and Void would be some sort of higher-end addition to help bolster the class. Void may still prove to be that, but man... Sentry is just NOT that at all...
I'd quite literally NEVER heard of Sentry until I read his name on Trucos last month, so no preconceived idea of him in my head whatsoever. I would just rather that Kabam make better champions, in general. I hate that there's a Garbage category. I fully concur that not every champ should be a "God Tier" and SOMEONE has to be at the bottom of the totem pole. But wouldn't it be nice if the bottom was still decent, and not just utter ****?
Rubbish
Slam these forums for real issues - bugs, scammers, hackers, bots, HELPFUL suggestions... clogging it with ‘you didn’t make this champ as good as I wanted you too’ isn’t helpful for anyone... some of my all time favourite characters are rubbish in this game - so what?! The fun is in being able to ‘be’ Spider-Man for a few minutes... enjoy it for what it is...
I won't agree with Phoenix. She's capable of some decent Damage. You have to get her between 5-10 Fury, 10 ideally. Stack some Incinerate, and then finish off with an L3. She's better than she gets credit for. Carnage has low Damage, I'll agree, but I understand why they were cautious with him. He's complex. If they left him too OP, he would have been a game breaker. I have yet to try Sentry.
But she's the phoenix I mean dude come on is she really that powerful in the game ?
Holy semantics, Batman! OK, forget "sub-par". His damage output compared to other champions at comparable levels of power, is lower. Is it OK if I say "lower"? Can I say "below average", or do I need to come up with a mathematical chart listing all champions varying attack damage values, in order for you to be OK with me saying that?
Slam the forums for bugs, scammers, and hackers, huh? So, unless it's one of those things, everyone should just go away? Yeah, good luck with that my friend... I didn't start the thread, I chimed in. And so did you. And it wasn't even a thread about scamming or hacking. GASP!!!
**Edit** Yeah, I'm moving on from this. Because I just don't care enough. So, if you reply, I won't see it. Peace.
And you’ll read it... because deep down that same thing that makes you angry he isn’t god tier makes you angry whenever anyone disagrees with you. It’s all good though - you’ll find plenty of things to be disappointed with in life if you keep up that attitude 😂😂
That's the thing. The game is full of Superheroes and Villains. Theoretically they're all supposed to be powerful in their own ways. The problem is that doesn't always translate when you're fitting them into the framework of a game that has to be balanced within itself.
Hulkbuster is designed to take out the Hulk, THE HULK! Look how shocking he is.
Iron man could create anything for his suits, anything!!! He had a little regen... that's it... shocking!
Loads of champs should be good, but just don't live upto what they should, meanwhile champs no one has heard of come and join the contest with the best powers going.
Anyway, Sentry might end up being buffed, just gotta wait and see. A big nerf/buff adjustment will surely be coming soon anyway.
Second, there is no reason for kabam to release bad champions anymore. I will give credit where it’s due and I can honestly say they haven’t released a “useless” champ in a very very long time. Some are better than others but even champs that aren’t considered god tier like a nebula or a quake have uses within the marvel contest universe. With the new nodes and increasing difficulty it is becoming more and more crucial to have the “right tool for the job (aka the right champion for the node)”. With that in mind I’ve warched as much gameplay as I can since he’s been out and unless I’m missing a synergy that will completely 180 this character, or there’s a bug with him I don’t see any useful situation for this champion that would make me exited to bring him along with me to a quest.
Early testing in RoL shows that I’d rather take certain 4/40 4 stars in than a 4/55 5 star which is a crying shame so he has no end game usefulness, and his stacks only build every 40 hits which will rarely activate in wars or aq and a lot of questing and his regen isn’t significant enough for him to be a lane pushing quester. For a very long time kabam has done a good job of giving even the mediocre champions a use in certain situations and making all characters relevant within the contest but it seems like they missed the mark on this one.
Maybe the void/sentry synergy when void is released will change sentry significantly (which might make sense for them to be dependant on each other in that respect because how closely tied the two champions are in the comic universe), but devoid (lol... get it??) something of that nature being introduced I see him being a major flop on his own, and the first major flop in a long time.

There was a champion spotlight yesterday and it was clear in the text that that isn’t how he works. Over a month ago there were YouTube videos where people over simplified and said that’s how he worked.
