That's because SW and DS were god tier. I think Mordo should get a buff because he immediately loses his power gain. That, or I need to get good
It's virtually impossible to prevent him from getting to the L3 unless you have a vision or get lucky with Switch or Dormammu. You basically have to just take the l3.
I think most people are just tired of the constantly changing champions. Hyperion is very difficult, especially when you don't know you are about to run into him; this doesn't mean the team should nerf him. I don't know if you were among the people who spent a lot of resources powering up Dr. Strange only to see him destroyed but the team. It is very frustrating and anyone who has gone through having their top champ wrecked by a nerf will be very leary and defensive at any suggestion to nerf more champs. I don't have a Hyperion, but I am very much against having him changed in any way. The only changes to any champs I would support is a change that puts them back to where they were before a nerf. There are champs out there that are terrible, Carnage comes to mind, I don't support them buffing him either. If every champ was of equal strength, it really would take some of the interest out of the game.
I agree that the condescending tone of some of the responses was unnecessary. But in their defense this is the 100th thread about Hyperion in a week, and probably the 1000th thread in a week asking for a champ nerf. Their frustration level with repeating themselves probably overpowered their manners.
I don't have that much sympathy for Dr. Strange owners though. All I heard was that he should be played all the time in almost every situation. That indicates an imbalance. A nerf should be expected.
Balancing the champions does not mean making them all equal. Having OP champions that everyone plays is just as boring as having all champions feel the same. Balancing is about giving each champion different strengths and weaknesses. They should each feel unique. They should all have good match-ups and bad match-ups. There will always be top tiers and bottoms tiers, but when the gap between the two is too great, the game needs a tune-up.
Hyperion's problem is two-fold. His power gain is extreme compared to other champions, and the main counter to him, baiting, does not always work. It does no good for people to say over and over again that it is a matter of practice. Top tier players agree that baiting is not always reliable. No amount of practice is going to change that.
It happened to be again today in AQ. I had a Hyperion who would not bait specials. He was either blocking or throwing out normal attacks. Twice he waited for his L3. When he baits like other champions, I have no problem at all. It is when he stops baiting that he becomes a headache. I do not have this trouble with any other champion, except occasionally high level Vision. Even when I win the fight, I have lost a lot more health than I should have if he was working properly. Kabam created a counter-play that doesn't always work, so fix it.
As for the kids hurling immature insults, they are irrelevant.
Hyperion is so easy if you use SW (Nullfy) or Hood ThorJane Jagg Ironfist (Stagger) + Mastery Detect cosmic
by the way X23 and Quake is the Mordo Killer.
You need to work on your baiting skills. I've literally never fought a Hyperion that wouldn't give his L1 or L2. He loves them so much lol
It's funny how many kids have come here to post condescending remarks, and none of them have ever addressed that point. It's easy to put down other people to give oneself a false sense of superiority. No need to expend the effort to debate the statements I made to back up my view.
I have plenty of skills in this game that need improvement. Whenever I hit a wall, I check this forum and the YouTube videos to figure out what to do. Sometimes I find very helpful information. Sometimes I find it's a bug, like with the blocking issues that Kabam admits it needs to fix.
You have some skills you need to work on too.
That being said, Hyperion NEEDS A NERF. Not of his abilities or kit or whatever, but of his damn block pose! Hyperion blocking is the smuggest looking jerk in the Contest, and I hate it =P
But seriously, it is a matter of experience and practice. Hyperion used to destroy me, but I have fought him enough in War (where he still hurts, and I still slip up and eat an L3 now and then) that he is just annoying rather than rage-inducing. Mordo is fairly easy now, and I regularly destroy him in AQ.
Hype needs to get his legs bent the other way
Then don't play it
You don't have ds. And you have no sympathy for DS owners because you heard how someone told you how to use him. Lol. Yet you want Hyperion to get nerfed cause you don't know how to fight him. That's such a noob comment. There are more ways to fight him then bait sp1. Power lock/ drain champs. Just a hint we are in tier 3 for aw and the only node he's on that gives us issues is when he starts with two bars of power.
Don't be a sour grape cuz you don't have em.
