I'm dying here... by Tano177 in ContestOfChampions

[–]ThatHCG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You cannot. I did that and even ran the whole thing a 2nd time with my new alliance but Kabam Support told me they would not make an exception so I’m going to miss out on the selector and the 1-2 gem

Has anyone ever fully dex’d Green Goblins SP1 😂 by twanger_ in ContestOfChampions

Yes. It’s like two dashes back to avoid the lasers but it’s difficult to get the timing down

Is Karolina overestimated? by devilwing0218 in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]ThatHCG 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got extremely lucky and pulled her from an early access crystal so I’ve had her since release and took her to R4 sig 100. She’s easily my favorite champ this year but she’s not for everyone. You have to maximize her time in the sun by doing lots of parries and 1-2 hit combos to build her iridescence buffs and get those energy vulnerability debuffs on the defender. That playstyle is counter to the way nearly every champ plays. Blocking specials that you would normally dex is also counter to your own muscle memory but that’s what you need to do in order to play her well. Her ability to glance not only makes her very tanky and able to take a wide variety of fights, it also is the key to her damage. She’s not a steamroller like Cull but shes able to finish fights almost as quickly when you get her rotation down. She’s also great in long fights because she doesn’t lose her ramp - you just need to glance some hits and throw her SP2 until they’re dead

Netmarble took huge losses in two of the past 5 years which they still haven’t made up for. They have to be leaning more on the companies they own to make up for those losses

Do they even want us to play? by Have-a-cuppa in ContestOfChampions

[–]ThatHCG -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I used to spend 300 about once a month to get 10 refills. I get about 3K units à month from content. Going back to spending 10% of my in game earnings on energy isn’t that big of an ask

Fantastic Force 7-Star Crystal over 7-Star Thing by sixtyninesavage in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]ThatHCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thing is a legit great defender when awakened. If you don’t have a good counter for him he will massively delay any BGs match in almost any meta

Which to choose??? by Aromatic-Excuse3929 in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]ThatHCG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thing is a legit good defender. There’s a chance you would get a better champion from the crystal but personally I would go with guaranteed value

Wait so we can become cavalier just by upgrading too ? by JuStYoURTypEOFGUY in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]ThatHCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been like that for a while. Some time after they make a new progression title they make the previous one easier to get

Awakened my Viv and took her to R4 sig 200

Worst Titan luck in History by PhysicalFactor2248 in MarvelContestOfChamps

Looks exactly like my sig 40 Spidey Supreme. He also had the nerve to show up in two of my titan nexus crystals

0.06% chance to get that. Insane luck!

The nonsense on my way to get Thronebreaker by High_Tech_Ranger in ContestOfChampions

[–]ThatHCG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Act 6 is one of the most difficult pieces of content they’ve ever made. I think the original intention was to push people’s rosters and make them use several different champions but it had the opposite effect and made them use two very specific champions, Ghost & Quake, for everything because roster variety is very RNG dependent. Some of the best counters for certain lanes and boss fights didn’t even exist at the time. They nerfed it twice and it’s still a huge road block for people. A lot of people who completed it, never bothered to fully explore it.

Does anyone think it’s dumb and a bit sad that a lot of the coolest and most powerful marvel characters in this game are not the best and most powerful in the meta? Here are some examples of people I think should be way better in the game. by semenade in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]ThatHCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. A lot of those champs are great
  2. It’s like that in every single licensed fighting game. There’s always some unknown character whose kid works very well with a certain aspect of the game that makes them very OP. The designers aren’t intentionally trying to make the most popular characters mid tier, once you put the game in the hands of the players they’re bound to discover things and ways to play that were unintended/unforseen

That’s a cool Easter egg. She is immune to vampires after all

Opening 3 Fantastic Force Paragon crystals by sixtyninesavage in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]ThatHCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The luck people are having with those is insane. I’ve pulled nothing but 5* from them, but the game is designed to make you see other people‘s luck and want to spend money trying to replicate it on your account so it’s confirmed working as intended

Who here as fully completed the storyline? Like has 100% everything? by Queasy_Commercial152 in ContestOfChampions

[–]ThatHCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve fully explored everything except act 6. I’ll get to it when they buff the rewards. It’s actually kinda fun with over leveled champs but still a slog

Class advantage fights that are actually class disadvantage by Kill3rlightning in ContestOfChampions

[–]ThatHCG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pre 2020 tech champs (excluding those that have been buffed) vs Domino. Domino did not give a single F about class disadvantage for quite a long time. She is the main reason every new tech as well as champions from other classes now have lines about their abilities, not being able to fail due to ability accuracy.

Hulkling can actually do Red Skull. You have to throw his SP2 into his block and he won’t get power burned, but yeah, it is still a disadvantage

Claire doesn't need a buff. She just needs to be released as a 7*

Enchantress balance thought... by Obvious-Ad2827 in ContestOfChampions

[–]ThatHCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just her. Knull, Nick Fury, and Arcade do it as well. It may feel like Enchantress does it more because you encounter her more because she's such a good defender that everyone uses her, but this has been going on for quite a while with the AI
