@Kabam Miike has to be thanked for his insight into champs.
I’m still trying to figure him out myself.
Lab runs are taking longer than expected but confident that I’ll get the hang of things soon.
From a data standpoint, if you were looking at Crit, he is highly effective in that.
Fair enough, I just think Miike gets misquoted in it is all. Somehow it became the most effective in the game. Lol.
Their SP3 ought to have an Armour Break on par with Gwenpool's, or an Armour Shattered effect. Particularly given that his Sig is ineffective on an SP3 sure to it not inflicting Critical hits.
Honestly, Miike doesn’t have to be misquoted. Accurately quoting him is sufficient. Ask anyone who is in media/public relations/advertising or generally in the public sphere how carefully they have to choose their words to make sure the right message gets across. The problem with the statement is that it reinforces the view that most advanced players have of some of the staff—namely, that they don’t play or understand the game at a high level. Whether that is true or not is debatable; what isn’t really debatable is that the statement would appear suspect to most seasoned players at a glance.
But I’m willing to be converted on Cyke. Perhaps one of the community members who uses him “very effectively” in difficult content would like to stand up and evangelize.

Because he's a great example of a fundamental problem in the game: He's one of Marvel's top champions, but (being included since the original release of MCOC), he's totally outclassed by more recent champions, to the point of being - as you rightly put it - arena fodder.
It's actually a fairly important thing to discuss; and it would be great to come to a solution for; at least a better solution than 'let's just churn out new champions that make the ones who are actually famous and draw people to the game more and more irrelevant'.
Other champions can do what he does better and more effective, not sure what kabam Mike was smoking when he said what he said about him though.
Critical hits and even through blocks.
Everyone has one so he’s good for synergies.
Not worth ranking up past 4/5 4*
Not worth ranking up past 1/5 5*
Just my thoughts
Thanks!
