**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

THIS IS WHY HYPERION NEEDS A NERF

I would very much like to see that. As of the moment, I"m in the 'nerf him' camp- I run into him a lot in Arenas, where I don't have a choice of bringing a Power Drain champ to fight him. Very often, he keeps refusing my baits, mostly blocks and powers up to SP3.
If I can learn a way to fight him and bait successfully, that'd be great and much appreciated
Sometimes he tosses out specials for free, other times he sits back and reads the paper until he fills up 3 bars. You honestly haven't noticed this?
You started a post saying this is why Hyp needs a nerf.
Here's a video I made, showing why Hyp doesn't need a nerf
1 word, AWESOME! (I'd say 2 words but I'm probably gonna get flagged for that first word).
I agree, main thing is to power bait. And, while reiterated many times, a good counter to Hyperion can be power drain champs and power lock champs.
- Hawkeye would be a good choice since he power drains and bleeds for his L1.
- Magik is an obvious solution, it's pretty easy to get to special 2 while power baiting and gaining power from MD.
- Visions would be good, but the class disadvantage means you gotta be careful.
- Gwenpool might work, but she only stops the opponent from gaining power from getting hit, so he's still going to gain power from his own power gain. Nonetheless, Gwenpool can inflict strong bleed and kill him quickly.
- Dormammu can power lock with his special 2 (and when imbued is active, can drain Hyperion's power)
- SW can power lock, steal and nullify Hyperion's power gain.
- WS is more based on luck, but if you are lucky, he can continuously drain Hyperion's power
- etc.
So yea, you an see, there are quite a lot of counters to this knock-off superman. You just need to know that some champions do well against other champions, that's what makes this not just a fighting game, but a fighting game with strategy.
I used Hawkeye like I said MANY times in this thread and surprise surprise he didn't work
SL takes actual skill
Hyperion is the effortless walk through that got SW, Thor, BW, and DS nerfed in v12!
Murphy's Law:
Anything that can go wrong WILL go wrong
Kinda like you need to bait, but Hype doesn't and just stands there arms crossed like:
"Oh it's gonna happen"
And then nails you to the ground with the L3
I can Intercept dashes, respond to evade (mostly), and even bait Spiders and YJ to fully Dex
What I can't do is power drain when I can't fill my special meter without first letting Hype get to 3 bars instantly before I can even get halfway to l1!
I even learned how to bait HEAVY ATTACKS without taking block damage (came in handy for the collector I'll tell you that!)
But again if I can't get to L1 or GOD FORBID L2 like many of the champs people recommend… then yeah free L3 seems cheap!
At least Mordo holds block long enough to cut him off with a heavy attack
Funny I remember people upset back before v12 when others were just cutting through paths and hard content with SW and Thor
This was basically the same response "get better" when back then you could do 10 hit kills to WS in RoL with Thor and SW made EVERYONE die while she had seemingly no issue with killing anyone
Now he takes much longer to kill foes closer to his health and she has a lesser chance in most abilities and barely procs regen anymore
And then there's BW who was partially reduced to arguably below Elektra
And the less said about the good Doctor.S the better
Funny how things change most people are content with the new Thor despite his overall damage being far less but "more reliable" and SW still on top while BW still slaughters her Target Science class. The only Nerf people are still mad about is really DS and that's before those loyal to him used him although a bit differently to preserve his health better…
Even if they reduce or alter his power gains people will STILL stand by him as one of the best champs
I mean, you still need to power bait. You can't just go in whacking Hyperion thinking your L1 will constantly keep him away from L3. Technically ANY champ can kill Hyperion, but the list I gave makes fighting him easier.
I can power bait basically any champ… EXCEPT him and maybe Mordo
He just floats staring at you
Ok, that's one part I can actually partially agree on: Baiting.
Baiting requires skill, and that dominates luck, but the fact still remains that luck is still a factor. I get what you mean, sometimes they are so stubborn and will not pop a special, even if the game registers that the special attack may most likely hit you.
However, I stand by my point: This is why I gave that list. So that worse come to worse, if Hyperion is being stubborn, at least you have slightly more advantage than using just any ordinary champion. Hawkeye can L1 if Hyperion were to go to special 3, buying him slightly more time to try and bait, thus increasing the chances of Hyperion popping his special.
You know what go fight the collector if you wanna basically have a 100% MAX CHALLENGE all the time… that's a hard to deal with fight
Hyperion is just dirty
My opinion is that Hyperions power gain is overpowered. However, this is a fantastic video showing how to fight him. Very helpful and useful.
What if he didn't gain power while blocking?
So its fine for a champ u like to be changed but not when its a champ u dont like seing as u were trying to issue a legal ultamtum before u clearly hated the idea of hom being changed
U litterally got a video of a guy baiting him and beating him with a 2 star yet still call others biased also just saw ur aware if they change his ai to pop more specials then that would be a nerf as all I would have to do is let him get a sp and block
i placed my 5/50 sig 60 on that power gain node and he got 0 kills. How? We are tier 2 AW. His Pi had to be over 12k...
I'll tell you how... the enemy knew what node he was facing and brought a champ with a power control skill.. MAGIK.
If you had any skill it wouldn't be a problem. Just because you suck at fighting him doesn't mean he needs to be nerfed. Step your game up and stop whining.
