Professor X: In-depth how-to-use Guide
Professor X is all about ramping him up until you can destroy the opponent with massive special damage. Channeling You want to get to 100 channeling charges which is done mainly by charging heavy (can use sp1 to get 25 charges, then channel, or use an sp2 to channel after, but heavy is the best way to channel) When…

7.3 Path-by-Path Exploration Guide
Hi everyone, as of writing this first part, 7.3 dropped a few hours ago and I've decided to keep a log of my thoughts on each path and use it to make a guide. When you read this, I'll be done 100% and please pray for me to have pulled some good champs from the Nexus crystals. Onto the guide. I'll identify each path by the…

Gauntlet Write Up - Pt 2
Last time the gauntlet was here I wrote down my thoughts and my team, then walked through each fight and how I took it. That thread is here if you want to take a look - my team last time was IMIW, Dr Doom, CGR, Prof X and Quake (all R3 6*s but Quake).…

Broken Spot feedback loop in AW?
We faced a spot on the node in AW where it’s hazard shift and schadenfreude Whenever a debuff triggers on the attacker, the defender gains a fury. Hazard shift places debuffs on you. That’s fine. But when spot is placed there, there’s one of the worst feedback loops I’ve ever seen in the game, and wondered if Kabam (once…

New Champion Balance Program: Success?
This is a bit of a blurting out of my thoughts on the balance program and it's impact on the game, so if you don't want to read it all I'll do a little TL:DR at the end and you can make a joke about not reading it all/too long/being sorry it happened. We have had a few months' worth of champions go through the cycle of…

Stand Your Ground bugged against unblockable?
So it was my understanding that “a block break” was a heavy attack. Stand your ground doesn’t stop unblockable attacks if you just hold block and let someone unblockable dash at you (unless you’re Moleman with a very specific interaction) But i was just using Titania against a Rintrah and when I was using sp3, and heavy…

First R4 [Redacted] ?? Maybe IDK
Hopefully my clickbait got you here. Although there probably is somebody who ranked her up first, I haven’t seen any yet lol Anyway, here is my next (and 9th) R4 Champion. She looks great amongst the others I opened 1 Cav going for Quicksilver and pulled her. Then I opened 5 going for IDoom and duped her. Happy with a…

My issue with Summer of Pain
So don’t worry, this is not a SoP is too easy it should be harder I’m a bored end game player post. I’m writing this post to share my feedback. It’s a long one, so while I appreciate anyone taking the time to read it, I’ve also done a TLDR at the end. I think it’s safe to say that endgame players feel like Summer of Pain…

Kree EoP tag
I can't help but feel sorry for anyone who doesn't have Hulkling here. I think it's a pretty bad choice to have a tag with 5 champions in that tag in order to take down an EoP week. And 3 of them are not at all useful in end game content where there aren't mountains of buffs.. Captain Marvel, Ms Marvel Carol Danvers and…

Few questions on Battlegrounds announcement
Very excited for this, one of the best things MCOC has ever added but I do have a few questions/concerns. Apologies if I missed it reading through 1. Will the global nodes be applied to friendly mode as well? If so, that's fine, I just quite like the idea of avoiding the meta of the week in a more casual environment. 2.…

How will neutralise interact with immunity to AAR?
When a champion is immune to AAR, concussion doesn’t trigger on them at all. It’s not just that the debuff doesn’t affect them, it doesn’t apply at all. Like Apoc’s sp2 against Old Man Logan. However, if this is the case with Tigra and her neutralise - and neutralise can’t trigger at all. Then she will be absolutely…

Conduit Tactic: Discussion on its issues
I wanted to start a little discussion about the new tactic and a few issues I have with how it's been designed. This has two main parts; one to do with the attack tactics, and one with the defence. This'll be a long one, so there's your warning. Attack Tactic Issue This part of my issue with the global is to do with the…

What's your preference of Buff Program?
Kabam recently said that their approach to buffing champions has not changed since the first bout of buffs from Sept 2020 - Dec 2021. I found this an odd statement to hear, because for me, the buffs from March 2022 to present just haven't gotten me as excited, or seemed as if they had the same time, vision or love put into…

As if I needed another reason to love Negative..
So Valkyrie has been released in the early access bundles, and as you may know I’m kinda a fan of Mr Negative. They have what looks like an utterly crazy synergy with each other, where Negative converting energy pauses all debuffs on the opponent for 2 seconds. My Mr Negative does 7.6k ish damage per tic after an sp2 (can…

Is there a problem with the buff program?
This isn't another post saying all buffs are bad, or necessarily a complaint about Guilly's buff. It's more of a look into the philosophy of how Kabam are deciding which level of buff to give to champions. I think the issue with this months buff is what level of update they chose for Guilly. I still stand by my comment…

Paragon Rank Up
After my first rank 4, which was a given, in Mr Negative. And after my second, which lord forgive me for my sins I followed the crowd in that one with Hercules (he’s just so good though, and those abs). I wanted to claim a bit of my individuality back. I was switching between Killmonger and Tigra in my head, clearly had to…

Well played Kabam, well played.
Back at the start of May, @Squirrelguy made this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/303136/a-legitimate-compensation-post/p1 Asking what we’d be ok with for compensation after the year+ of bugs. I, a little tongue in cheek, answered a 6* Nimrod - my number one champ I was chasing and wanting to…

Failure in Communication: AI Changes
I hate that I feel the need to make this post, I hope that I've got enough credibility here to show that I'm not the sort of person to endlessly attack Kabam over every minute detail but I think we all just feel a little bit like we're in the dark here - and it's gone on too long. I would ask everyone in this thread who…

Share your Ikarus EoP Counters
I used Psylocke, she completed mutant and control counter objectives so a two for one for TBs. I’m uploading it to YouTube now, but will take a while for it to be live since it’s 8 mins long and my wifi hates me. Other options I’d considered were BWCV, Havok maybe?

Journey to ThroneBreaker Challenge
We hear a lot of conversation about just how hard it is to get to Thronebreaker. Perhaps more-so in the past when there were less sources to get T5CC, but still a good amount considering the current climate of the game. I'm one of the, let's say louder, proponents of the idea that getting TB is actually quite easy…

Was my first R4 ever really in doubt?
The moment has come, I’ve been hyping him since the moment of his release, he’s my favourite champion to have ever been added to the game and it’s finally time. The Carina Challenger’s and Mutant Abyss challenges are done and dusted, some really fun content and absolutely worth it to be able to do this. So so happy to have…

AW Season rewards Plat 1-3 Disparity
I think there is a monumental gap between rewards for Plat 1 and 2, and then a miniscule gap between Plat 2 and 3. And I think this disparity and gradient in rewards really enforces the wrong attitude for players. For context, here are Plat 1 through 3 rewards Ignoring the T5B and T2A (identical across brackets), the t5cc…

Mr Negative gameplay megathread
Hi everyone, I'm sure a few of you saw my Mr Negative takedown of Wolverine RoL a few days ago, and since then I've been using him non-stop and I fall more and more in love with his design, playstyle, utility and damage every fight. I'm sure you all get it where you pull a new champion and just instantly click with them,…

Using Featured Pools to predict buffs
There's always lots of talk when a new featured crystal drops, and whether it's a 6* pool or a 5* pool there is always tons of speculation about which champion from those pools are going to be the lucky few selected for future months overhaul/moderate/tune up. But how accurate are these predictions? And how often do these…

Saving for July 4th deals
Just as a PSA, it’s 176 days until July 4th so if you save 100 units a day (plus a tiny bit more) you’ll get enough from that to purchase all 18k deals. I’m starting to save from today, resisting the urge of a Kitty Cav Crystal. Anyone who is planning on buying these offers as FTP, it’s best to start saving and hoarding…

MCOC New Years Resolutions for 2022
We've had quite a tumultuous year of MCOC, with bugs, drama, people quitting, compensation and that's only this week!

So join me in looking to…

Kitty shouldn't be nerfed
Kitty isn't overpowered. True focus is the only the that makes her cheese certain fights. Getting annoyed about Kitty cheesing is like getting annoyed about any cheese fights. What you're actually annoyed about is that Kitty can cheese AW, and in that case, I agree - get rid of true focus in AW. This would be like if Kabam…
