BLUE MARVEL - OPINIONS?

https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/comment/2924106#Comment_2924106

@peixemacaco He is canonically around the same power level as Sentry, Hyperion & Hulk yes… but he’s nothing like Hyperion in game or in comics apart from that.

Understood

But you can see by Blue Marvel moves , they're very similar as Superman

Like I said in another thread, I think Blue Marvel will do good in BGs. Probably won’t be his #1 gamemode though, similar to Count Nefaria

@EdisonLaw I hope you’re right 💯 Count Nefaria seems much better than Blue Marvel in BG’s on paper though. & also for the 1000th time already…. Count doesn’t have the slowed down interactive SP2 🤣 I can’t stand that shi 😭

There's a LOT going on with his kit that the clips today don't even explain explicitly, and then there's more that can't be explained from what we saw. I'm super hyped, I think he's gonna be insane and might even do solid in BGs

I’ve seen Count in BGs, but not that much, he’s usually used in AW and other modes

@HassamaMama He looks like he could be a defender too. I hate the interactive and slowed down SP2. He can be good but that trash, unlikeable mechanic is gonna make him extremely unenjoyable to play for me 🤧

I’ve just realised that Blue Marvel is gonna be crazy good for incursions though. That’s a plus. Still a trash mechanic on the SP2 and heavy 🤣

@EdisonLaw There’s no hope for Blue Marvel then if that’s the case 🤣but I see Count Nefaria quite a lot in higher level BG’s.

I don’t think that’s true. Have you played Dazzler or the buffed Dr Strange before? Not being able to tap the screen sounds like a skill issue to me

Looks mid to me, and the damage looks bad if you don’t ramp up fully, he looks like a noodle for short fights basically. It took two sp1s to ramp up fully and r4 with class advantage barely did 200k in one sp2 which leads me to believe his big damage starts after double sp1 and sp2, that rotation however is completely and utterly useless for BGs because it’s too damn slow.

Just to put things into perspective a r4 Mantis deals close to 400k in a single sp2 without class advantage. The same goes for most meta relevant attackers these days, so to the guy saying he’ll do good in BGs, no he won’t lmfao maybe if you’re stuck in VT where you can have a 90 sec fights and still win but if you’re competitive I can’t really see this guy doing a whole lot. The damage just isn’t quite there for high to mid tier BGs but we’ll see how much utility he has I suppose, he could be a long form content and Colliseum monster but that’s it.

Ehh, doesn’t seem that promising, better gameplay may change that, that gameplay on stream was horrendous

We’ll see when the deep dive and champ spotlight comes out. Speaking of utility, is he buff immune or dex immune?

https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/comment/2924220#Comment_2924220

Only bleed and power steal immune

Yeah, he won’t work in BGs whatsoever, he could end up being a decent option for war, but outside of coliseum or really long fights, I don’t see what else he could possibly do

Would 1 sp1 and 1 sp2 be enough for a BGs match if equal ranks? Keep in mind, that Mojo is way higher than any R4 defender

@EdisonLaw You lost your comprehension skills for a moment there…. I’ve clearly said multiple times that I dislike the SP2 tap mechanic, and the slowed animations to go along with it. I clearly never said that I struggle to tap the screen for the interactions 🤦🏽‍♂️ Yes i’ve obviously played Dazzler, and even though I don’t like the interactive specials… Dazzler’s specials don’t get slowed down, which allows it to be much more enjoyable and less of a drag to do. Blue Marvel’s interactions are worse. & he clearly isn’t good in BG’s… so idk what made you think that.

@TheMostHated1 I feel the same way about where Blue Marvel will land in the game, as you just mentioned. When the deep dive comes out, I expect him to be shown as a decent defender at least. I like everything about his design but the slowed SP2 and tap mechanic.

Well if he’s not a good defender…

@EdisonLaw I can’t prove it… but somehow you’ve found a way to like your own comments on here. I hope that’s not the case because that would be an extremely sad thing to do 💀 I’ve just noticed you always instantly have a ‘👍🏽’ as soon as you post any comment.

lol anyway, if he’s not a good defender than he’s mid asf and I don’t have to be annoyed that he has interactive specials… because he’d me mid so I wouldn’t play him.

Honestly, think Luke Cage is better then this guy ngl the indestructible is on only non contract damage debuffs thats dumb af. Also doesn't look like he gains damage from putting debuffs on the opponent like Luke does. So his a really watered down luke cage. Also 2 immunities in the big 26 and one being power steal??? Like what is that? I cant fight techs that power burn me, only mystics that I already have a advantage against? Should have given him posion or incinerate immunity with bleed. The ramp looks so unbelievably long like by the time I get to the "good damage" the opponent is already one shot. Personally think kabam dropped the ball here. Like all he need to do is be a good damage dealer with solid immunities. Keep it simple maybe not he needs to do all these mid things to get little to no value out of it. Like I'm not ragebaiting Luke Cage a street level hero can affect ability accuracy by putting debuffs on the opponent by hitting them and doing a special 1 into 2 that does more damage and more ability accuracy reduction depending on how many debuffs there was on the opponent. That give significantly more value then red damage number that do not that much extra damage after like a min of fighting. I hope I'm wrong and BM is good but right now he looks pretty bad.

Luke is 100% better and it’s not even close
