Achilles heal champs

The_One

Who are your Achilles heal champions?
Ones you really struggle with.
Personally I have never, even in arena when I do it, beaten Bullseye.

*Disclaimer, I'm not looking for advise on how to beat Bullseye, just starting a conversation.

Without gladiator, arnim is a pain in the neck.

im still finding a way to defeat kindred,bpcw

Shocker. Always seem to mess up against him

Bullseye is definitely an Achilles heel. Muscle memory will never allow me not to dive in after his special 1 without a supreme force of will.

Not really an Achilles heel as such but I really hate fighting Nightcrawler. I hate his evade, his jittery animations and everything else about him. I never feel comfortable in those fights and always feel like I’ve dodged a bullet when they’re done.

I don’t have an Achilles heel champ… I have an Achilles roster 😅

For me it’s Onslaught, Bullseye, Enchantress, Serpent, and Yelena Belova.

Not unbeatable, just the ones I least enjoy seeing as defenders when I don’t have a specific counter… especially in BGs/Arena.

I have the impression that eg in Arena, those defender only show up when you have the respective counters. I am only facing bullseye when I have Onsi or Mr sinister in the trio team. Same for kindred (photon or piggy in the team)

it’s like kabam have some kind of coding which detects which team members you have in arena and matches the respective defenders to them.

At least this is my experience

arcade.

I just hate fighting him.

Hevo when I don't have Okoye.

That combo detonation hurts.

Have DPX, Jean, onslaught or lose in my experience

Peni Parker. If I can't beat her before her shield restores, I let out a massive sigh.

Poor guy

So easy Yelena 😍

Special 1 you need to dex 4 times

And its at same moment

Dex…dex...dex...dex

If you did right the first one, the remaining will be ok

The Sp2 its not at same moment, there are 2 dex ,and she launches a bomb like Domino.

Easy peasy.

Bullseye I dont need to ban anymore too.

Only Amora 😍 😭...

😭😭 cause I maybe will not have my Photon to face her. But, if rival dont have Amora 😍, I have my 7 stars 😈

...nd Serpent too

But now I have a 7 stars 😎 and rivals started to ban mine, even they have too 😁😂

Anotherconcernplayer

So I struggle with many of the typical OP def, nothing new there.

But if we talking Achilles heel, that keep catching me with no good reason is Green Goblin SP2 🤣, for the life of me he keep catching me with that on in Arena 🤣.

Push Arnim to the children nonsense SP2, but Sp1 is easy to dex too. And take a look at the red signal above his head, it shows when he will grab you to sleep or detonate

Kindred if near to Sp1 , be at distance and dex when he throws

But, prefer Sp2 and dex to a distance.

Black Panther you need to quick realize he will activate and start to dex both Sp1 and 2.

Easy peasy

Photon Enchantress Bullseye and Zola, but I have counters for Zola (and all of them as 7*s ironically)

Shocker is a wicked pain in the ass for me. For some reason, I have the worst time fighting him.

He's great defender and good attacker(nuke), no utility or immunity at all, I just have him at r3 cz i love him and his mechanism. So, not for story content, useful for bgs at certain matchups.

willrun4adonut

Kindred, which is why he's r5 twice ascended so he'll be banned and I never have to fight him in BG .

Xguard77

Destroyer trips me up more than he should

FrostGiantLord

Cassandra Nova, cause my instinct will always be to dex her specials Venom also trips me up a lot, simply because his animations are so fast, and I always get clipped by his sp2 after he just runs after me at 100mph for no reason

Snizzbar

Any champ that messes with your muscle memory. BPCW still catches me off guard sometimes, and evaders can trip me up when I'm in MLLLM mode 🤷‍♂️

Enchantress. I’ve gotten better at beating her and some champs are hard counters but I hate fighting her. I have not ranked mine to use as a defender because I always ban her.

Silver Samurai and Cassandra Nova are designed specifically with Yelena in mind. Terrific options for her. I have both at r4 (albeit on different accounts).

To answer OP's question: I hate Korg and Red Cyclops. I can't dodge their specials (Korg's sp1 and Cyke's SP1 and 2) for the life of me. I've been annoyed with that for the longest time. Thank god Blue Cyke got a rework so that his specials are different now. I'm actually better at dodging them than Red's. Meanwhile, Korg becomes so much more annoying when he constantly clips you while trying to dex his SP1. I remember sitting down maybe a year or two ago, asking everyone I knew for tips, watching Youtube tutorials from everyone who'd made one, and just fighting him over and over and over and over and over again, but I still can't reliably dex all hits of that gosh darn SP1.

There are other champs whose specials I also can't dex - Onslaught's SP2, Nick Fury's SP1, Blade's SP2 - but those are legitimately hard to dex. Cyke's and Korg's shouldn't be. I just suck at it.
