Why is crossbones such trash?

Was my best champ before 12.0. Now it seems in getting evaded with him more than any other champ, even with 3+ fury. There is no safety. Doesn't matter if you have 40,50,80% reduction. One Evade and BOOM. Screw your ability reduction you're DEAD. Bye.

    I do and I also take the thorns path. Cant say that I have to hard of a time with spider man just gotta evade the L1. Unless this is happening now, but I haven't played the last few hours. So it may be a bug?

    Crossbones isn't great for war anyway you get caught off guard with a mystic champion with MD and crossbones is dead

    That's why I use detect masteries. Mine destroys all spideys and electros, T1 war fights over in 12 hits.

    And remember that crossbones ability reduction is not flat so you can't reach 100% with him no matter how many fury you stack.

    I have seen a few evades recently with spidey, but I figured they just had a high sig. Also whoever asked about CB's sig it doesn't really matter as far as evade vs. fury stack. Diminishing returns I think causes it to never truly be 100%, always need to combo slowly with spidey anyway

    I take my 5/50 to aw in tier 1. MD isn't much of a problem for what I use him for

    I see you've got some trouble fighting Spidey? Try an awakened Gwenpool or Karnak(use special 1 alot)

    mine is 5/50 and unduped. don't seem to have a problem with him. on an average i stack around 4-5 furies with a max of 9. maybe your luck might not be good with the crit hits?

    I still take my r5 crossbones to war constantly. I toss in WWII for a crit synergy to help. Ive destroyed r4 5* spideys, depending on the node

    Mine is 5/50 lvl 20 and I used him for that Special Spidey Quest and I walked through it... Not sure what's up with your Crossbones but mine is a beast.

    Crossbones is a top 5 skill champ. I don't think "trash" applies. I don't do well with Black Widow, though she is widely considered among the best skill champs as well. Maybe Crossbones doesn't fit your playing style is all.

    BW was far better before she was nerfed. Her damage on her s2 is half what it once was.

    IDK, just got here a couple weeks ago. I have not been impressed. For my own use I have Crossbones, Agent Venom and Moonknight ahead of her. I really like Moonknight, but Crossbones kills it so I don't use him much. Someone told me you can do a 6 hit combo with Moonknight, I haven't managed it, is there a trick to it?
  • Deadbyrd9Deadbyrd9 Member Posts: 3,469 ★★★★
    CB is much better than bw but that's not the point of this thread

    Post the 12.0 nerfapocalypse especially.
  • Deadbyrd9Deadbyrd9 Member Posts: 3,469 ★★★★
    I have both at rank 5 but that's because I prefer bw in map 6 because I have a thorns node. CB I use in aw
  • LocoMotivesLocoMotives Member Posts: 1,200 ★★★
    Moon Knight does 6 hits by doing MLLLM. His last M is a 2 part so technically it's a 6 hit combo.

    Top 5 should be: GP, CB, BW, and Hawkeye for attack. AV is good for defense.

    @IAmNotUrMom elektra is better than av and bw

    I like her, but wish I had her duped. BW though is guaranteed thorns, electro and spidey killer. I debated putting Karnak in there, but I really like AV for defense.

    I love seeing AV on defense. It's basically a free node when I see him on my path on armor, increased bleed, or unblockable sp1 and kinetic reactor
