We got two new champs this month: Human Porch (uh... Torch) and Anihilus
Favorite Champ: Human Torch (This was a hard decision)
Human Torch: His animations, playstile, and artwork is excellent. He also does great damage, and is my second favorite Fantatic Four member.
Anihilus: He is one of the coolest F4 villains and is a bit underrated. His animations are cool and his damage potential can be pretty good.
Calenders: Calenders were average but we did get a calender for Antimatter, which was pretty good.
The second beacon has been activated. Two more and something speicial will happen.
Back Issue # 2: Less unavoidable damage
Easier difficulty and Less Paths than Variant 1
Better rewards
Overall, Back Issue 2 is better (opinion).
EQ: This was pretty easy, but still had some challenges and was fun.
Bounty Missions: These were pretty cool. I got lots of practice fighting Human Torch. The rewards were pretty good too.
Pool Boss Rush: This event was awesome! It was very funny and unique. It was really fun and the rewards are nice. I really like the nodes, the descriptions, the final boss, and the "All I got was this lousy title" title. Great work Kabam!
What did you like about April? Dislike? Let me know in the comments.

Last summer had an update that caused overheating and was harmful to battery life while also causing lag, so I'd say that was more serious. But as far as the number of bugs present in the game, April 2019 is the buggiest update to date.
I do like focusing on the positives, but it is a month review and I said "What did you dislike about this month."
April performance of the game 4/10
12.0 worked basically exactly as it was designed to work. People didn't like the nerfs and the multitude of other adjustments, but the nerfs and adjustments worked as they were designed to work. There was a lot to say about 12.0, but it's not remembered for being buggy the way the April update will be.
And as I mentioned, the app causing the phones to overheat, causing lag and killing battery life was more serious, but that debacle could be summarized by a single bullet point.
Conversely, this April 2019 update had a litany of errors. Unprompted lunges after L3 animations. Enemies throwing specials when hitting into blocks. Many champ's special attacks becoming unpunishable. Domino's Red Hulk Synergy stopped working. Emma's Prestige bump. The help timer malfunction. Yondu's normal attacks being treated like projectiles. The list goes on and on. WAY more than just a single bug.
So I still maintain that while it may not have been the most serious update we had, April 2019's update was certainly the buggiest in the history of the Contest.
Annihilus brought the bugs
Human Torch heats up my device
Coincidence? I think so.
Personally, bounties just aren't for me. The revamped system is MUCH better, but they are so dang tedious. If I never have to fight another Human Torch, it'll be too soon.
However, the Uncollected this month felt like the easiest in a long time, so that was nice. I haven't touched any variants but I appreciate that this one is easier and the rewards are still good. When I finally finish exploring Act 5 (3 paths to go - just need to figure out which ones because of that dang fixed camera), I'll probably do the second back issue.
So pretty good April, but I can do without three times a day content, even if it is just 2 fights.
