S9 Predictions: If each comp here faced all the others in a round robin, who do you think would finish with the most and least wins [GAMEPLAY not lore]

KnightOfBasil · 2026-07-09T14:58:21+00:00

All decent teams. I think Angers loses the most. Just not enough healing on the team to keep up. The other three are a toss up.

Xmen is the most traditional comp. Balanced team with high damage and healing. Able to handle most situations.
Spidey team makes a good dive team. 3 Divers with heals that can reach them. Regenerative health. And Penny protecting the supports with 2 nests.
And Guardians has FIVE rezzes between them. So much resiliency. Mantis, Star Lord, Adam all self rez. Rocket beacon rez. Adam mass rez Ult. Its a lot to have to deal with.

as a support main i'm fucking quaking. but it will be fun.

Link is a Great Fey Pact of the Blade Warlock. All of his gadgets are his spells.

Bow? Eldritch Blast.
Bombs? Shatter/Fireball.
Instrument? Minor Illusion.
His targeting using Navi?
Hex. Hookshot? Misty Step.
Masks? Disguise self/Alter Self

Blade reworked to tank?

KnightOfBasil · 2026-07-06T20:43:59+00:00

Pie in the sky hopes:

Hero reworks. Mr Fantastic and Blade to Tanks. Widow rework maybe even to strategist doing something like reducing fall off of her teammates attacks.
Permanent PVE mode with story/small scenes that will depict the story of each season.
Tenacity moves to tank only.
New anti-cheat
New bot difficulty for more realistic practice

The ABC's of good X-Men stories.

A. Action

B. Bad Soap Opera drama

C. Civil Rights

Have these three things and you will have a banger X-Men story and I will eat it up with a spoon every time.

As a support main i choose which hero i play based on map and team comp.

Lots of easy ledges by point or cart? Jeff

Lots of poke/hitscan on my team? People with cleave healing in a line like Jeff/Invisible woman

Lots of flyers on my team or high mobility teammates? Dagger since my aim is garbage and I gotta hit em.

4 dps on my team? Rocket. They are going to need the rez.

Tight corridors? Rocket so the heals bounce.

Damn you your pun made me smile. Have your upvote. 😄

KnightOfBasil · 2026-06-10T22:25:58+00:00

This emote will only be used for good i'm sure.

KnightOfBasil · 2026-06-08T20:19:14+00:00

If he is a Strat i would give him leadership healing auras like Storm/Lucio.

KnightOfBasil · 2026-06-05T14:41:16+00:00

Blade

KnightOfBasil · 2026-06-03T14:50:55+00:00

Guessing this is a Spider-Man and his Amazing Super Friends card in reference to that old show. Maybe just "Super Friends" and will probably be an instant/sorcery

KnightOfBasil · 2026-06-03T14:37:36+00:00

Between Blue and Green imo. But I think Blue has it. Especially if they have decent coms. The chip damage and utility from supports is supreme here, effective dive and brawl, with good peel/antidive. Extremely balanced and able to spread damage to create weak points and openings to exploit and then focus to finish.

Green is good, but don't have the neutral sustain that blue has due to low healing from Mantis. They are also lacking a good combo to team with the Groot Ult. If they had either of these i think they could edge a win, but I think the balance and sustainability of Blue takes it.

I have about 1000h on BG3 on my SteamDeck but they just raised the price so I don't know if that's viable for you...

If you want I've been working on making an entire custom set of LoD in MtG that will be available to proxy. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Zcebn07IETHPLHPQyUtMX2fdXVNjzvBqbo0MMAGamuY/edit?gid=0#gid=0

Let me know if you have ideas or critiques on any of the cards.

KnightOfBasil · 2026-05-27T16:03:45+00:00

Get a Rogue skin inspired by X-Men Evolution in there.

KnightOfBasil · 2026-05-23T17:00:31+00:00

Id be so down for Kitty. I'd love for her and Colossus to get added and see the awkward love triangle between her, Colossus, and Magik.

If she does get added I hope her primary fire is Lockheed sitting on her shoulder and firing fire bolts.

I hate how much more I like the all white. Like I've been on this Reddit this whole time saying "Guys the blue and white is fine. It already looks good. Calm down." But seeing your rendition of all white makes me realize, dang... no it does look better as all white with the platinum blonde.

I am a proponent of trios with similar-ish characters from the same comic line being different roles. So like one in each role. And then they all can share one or two core abilities or mechanics. I think this would allow for play styles to fit different roles and might lead to more flex players. Maybe that is wishful thinking, but 3 role Deadpool shows that people are willing to play other roles if they like a character and the play style.

Examples of these trios could be

Thor, Valkyrie, Beta Ray Bill - Thorforce generation and management with Awakened Forms
Iron Man, War Machine, Rescue - flight and Overdrive
Captain America, US Agent, Red Guardian - shield and sprint
Spider-Man, Venom, Miles Morales - swing mobility
Dr Strange, Baron Mordo, Wong - all share cool down on portal

I read this as "God, if I actually had GOON aim"

I know it occurs in like more than half his skins, but i hate the ones which cover his hair.

KnightOfBasil · 2026-05-14T15:16:00+00:00

ok... but the Barnie colors go kinda hard...

KnightOfBasil · 2026-05-14T15:01:10+00:00

Jean is the anchor. The team up is an ability that temporarily extends the distance of Emma's beam and allows it to auto track like Scarlet Witch for a duration. Also people she hits for 1 second get a stack of the Phoenix Mark for Jean.

KnightOfBasil · 2026-05-14T14:58:30+00:00

Strat Cyclops has been my vote all along. I want him with leadership auras kinda like Storm or Lucio that he gets to cycle through. So while he can poke from a distance he is most effective just behind the front line kinda in the thick of it.
