Ghost - First Block Break Champion?

in General Discussion
Mcoc has been around for over 2.5 years (or even more) and we haven't yet seen a champion that has block break ability. Looking at the movie trailers, Ghost seems like she would definitely have a True-Strike like ability and perhaps even Block Break?

I think the game has advanced far enough that there should be a Block Break champion. Sure Massacre was a good punishment for 'cowards' but he doesn't really break blocks (on basic hits of course)

What do you guys think?

    It wouldn't be a good mechanic to have ... unless is something that can only be activated offensively, not making her a pain to fight against.
    And her ability is intangibility. If it works the way I think it works, she wouldn't be able to land a hit while being intangible

    Essentially like Hood.

    I think we should have a champ that just insta-kills once you load the fight...

    Oh wait, we had that with Doc Ock post-nerf.

    At times most champs in the game can be block break champions. :smile:

    I'm not sure how you're personally defining this but I'd have said Rhino does it.

    Auto block/Auto parry is bad enough

    Block break will break the game.

    Old-style Cyclops has had this ability for over two years and hasn't broken the game.

    It's limited in that he requires Awakening, only applies to special attacks; and needs you to sustain a combo; but that's what's kept him from breaking the game.

    Unblockable specials like Cyclops would be ok, so long they are just as easily able to be evaded.

    Unblockable basic attacks would hurt the game and cause an uproar. The bug on Domino being capable of doing this right now isn't going over to well. Lot of people are also already complaining about Kabam taken away the ability to parry, imagine this would just add to that.

    It would be a viable idea if Ghost can only block break when being used offensively. OR, to introduce skill, have her become "unblockable" after using a certain special - that way you would have to intercept to make sure you don't get hit.

    I don’t know if people remember the old Gulk screenshots that circulated a year or two ago but one of his abilities showed block break. Maybe this is was something doctored or maybe it was supposed to be an ability of his. Either way it didn’t make it into the final cut, probably for good reason. There are a few small, but alright situations in which is wouldn’t be game breaking. As mentioned I think Cyclops’ is good. It requires awakening and skill to keep a combo and even then only his specials (which are easily avoidable if you’re defending against it) are unblockable. Another case where this could potentially be useable is an unblockable “buff” after certain criteria is met, and even then it can’t be more than say 10 seconds. You could make it similar to Killmonger’s true strike where he has to punish a special (or intercept with WS synergy), to gain the buff, both which are usually not common for a defending AI. Or you can make it similar to IMIW where if you essentially mix two abilities, another ability emerges. These would add some new abilities which could prove very useful for skilled players and not break the game.

    So unless I choose to take hits to the face, I'm a coward?

    Yondu. And add to that his synergy with Nightcrawler.

    If it is implemented, it should probably be trifgered by something that the AI would never do

    Like dash back and spam the block 7 times to trigger "block breaking"
