Pro tip: Just skip the next titan pool

There is nothing in there of value

Comments

I’m really hoping there’s good things about these new champs that the community hasn’t found yet. I had so many crystals saved and opened half of them yesterday as there’s really not anyone there that’s particularly good. Without the rebalancing program you can’t really expect tune-ups either

I don't think the 6 new champions are meta champions for battlegrounds

I watched some youtubers talk about the new titan pool and everyone agree on this

Once I pull Silver Samurai and Lizard I’m out, only two that will probably hold some value in BGs because of the matchups they target but yeah everything else is extremely mid. Cassie has always been a good champ but her ramp takes so damn long I wouldn’t use her not even for Nico

I'm having 3 titans now I thought silver samurai and lizards would be good right ?

I think franken castle is good with his crush?

I started saving for the Dr Strange titan pool next year. Not gonna miss anything from the titan’s until then. I have who I want.

I haven't seen any great performance from the 6 new champions in battlegrounds so far

Lizard might be the only one that is highly desired as new toy for players

That's about it

To counter who exactly?

ItsClobberinTime

I think part of the reason new batch feels so ass is because Dracula, Mr. Knight, Franken Castle and Cassie don't really counter **** when it comes to meta relevant defenders. I mean sure they can handle one or two defenders but that's it, there is a reason nobody uses Patriot even though he is the most reliable Photon nuke there is. They need to stop releasing so many one trick ponies cause it's getting old

All these new science mofos have autoblock as their main defensive mechanism with shutting down true abilities and undermine.

I mean I think if you don’t have many of the current champions it’s still really good

I'll be skipping the next cycle. Already have everyone in the current crystal except Zola and not too fussed about it. Having a hard enough time deciding on rank-ups as it it is. With all the champs coming to the 7* basic, should satisfy the opening urge for awhile.

MODOK is not that common yet and High Evo is a noodle for non protection metas so not really. Even if they were strong defenders I'd still use Nick and others over Franken Castle

Technically they’ve already shifted towards “No trick ponies” since Dracula can’t Counter anything. Currently useless in AQ raids. Doesn’t counter Knull or Terrax ironically due to degen damage, reverse controls, block damage, etc. a mediocre option for Deathless Thanos due to chip damage, protection, and a lack of damage. sp2 doesn’t work, invisibility is too short, I mean I’ve said these things before. I just really want to emphasize that apparently the new direction for the game is “Dumb everything down and make our champs intentionally bad so that we can balance out how Serpent and Dark Phoenix (WHO ARE COSMICS!) still exist). I guess they didn’t want to “Bloat up” our options for curing the diseases that they caused. Now we’re going to get the antidotes removed and gutted while DLL continues to make the champs of the future, all while Kabam has insisted on predominantly buffing annoying defenders (including a cosmic in super skrull) who Dracula probably can’t even counter PRE BUFF… next it’s gonna be air walker. Hell! They just had Annihilus up for a vote (funny enough his kit can actually be hard countered by Dracula… go figure.)

Dracula is the only one out of the four that yes is **** against everything even the defenders he's meant to counter.

Only thing I can think of is they're planning on doing more cosmic egg style battlecasts for the champs who have been very underwhelming so far this year but that's a bit of a stretch, we'll see. I just find it so hard to believe that they've missed the mark with every attacker this year and aren't doing a damn thing about it.

I can see kabam believing that Dracula would be too strong if he came out as he was originally meant too (Mystic Ghost, with quake and bake potential) so if they decide to go the route of having us ascend and grant him a relic then I would be all for it. This would also make sense as masteries, champion boosts, and most traditional boosts do not work with Dracula (as J have previously mentioned). For this reason I would like to see a “Dark Force relic” based on the Blood Hunt event where Varnae utilized the power of Scarlet Witch (Chaos), Thor (Storm God) and the Darkhold (Necromancy) to not only enhance his powers but to open up the actual Dark Dimension (where Knull was born, and where all of evil dwells). Varnae harnessed the dark dimension and was virtually unstoppable. This would directly tie into Dracula being the “Prince of Darkness” as well as a solomonari (taking power from thor). This relic could be used to augment aspects about Dracula’s kit that would otherwise need an overhaul. This is how I would set up the relic

1. the first hit of the relic automatically triggers a super dire degen with increases potency (based on relic rank) for of seconds.

2. In draculas base kit I would add a line that as long as he has this relic his, while the opponent is degen’d Dracula also inflicts an atrophy scaling to the degen (Im not a numbers guy you know what Im trying to do here)

3. For the relic awakened ability all of Dracula’s buffs can last up to X amount of time/percent longer.
4. for the sockets, the first socket should be a vicious passive increases damage of debuffs or a power gain (think SW and ghost rider relics)

5. For the corny sockets that get tacked on, Debuff resistance, degen damage, buff percentage time, buff percentage potency. If we want to spice things up then we could reduce damage dracula takes while invisible, and also lower the damage of nova flames instead of giving him the power gain.

6. Dracula’s base kit would still need to at least include a reworked signature ability and additional immunities. But with this relic you could lower the work significantly. Make his current sig ability a part of his base kit. Throw in a coldsnap, frostbite, and shock immunity. Also give him resistance to the effect of bleed, armor break, and rupture resistance

7. Finally Dracula’s new awakened ability should grant him an undying buff (that triggers whenever he starts suffering from Bleed, armor break, rupture or degeneration), AND an immortality buff that triggers once per quest for X amount of seconds. Additionally Dracula can now keep buffs that he steals for X amount of seconds. And when nulliying a buff that he cannot copy he instead gains a vicious passive.

The base kit buffs would make dracula more enjoyable as an attacker. While the relic would make him more of a meta counter for people like serpent and Dark Phoenix. These changes would also make the new titan crystal much spicier which =more money for Kabam as opposed to waiting several years, letting everyone collect a bad version of Dracula and then buffing him once everyone already has an awoken 7 star.

btw is this the most efficient way to reach Kabam or should I be emailing Kabam directly or doing something else? This means something to me so I need to find out however I can get these changes made.
