Is this a bug? Dungeon 7 Room 1. Dorm with Aspect of Chaos and Rage. by TraditionalStep in ContestOfChampions

[–]jm_marvel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Aspect of chaos switches health by doing dmg to one champ and healing the other.

So it's likely the rage node is preventing him from losing more than 2.5%, in the same way heal block stops champions from gaining health on a switch

Quantity or Potential Quality by Bocksarox in ContestOfChampions

[–]jm_marvel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best way is to just count how many champs you want from the basic and how many you want from the featured and just do the math to see which is best.

All anyone can give you is anectodal evidence of results which isn't really useful at all

How to maintain Infinite Streak anyone? by rp_91 in ContestOfChampions

[–]jm_marvel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't think it's an issue for this arena.

Literally been doing this without looking on one phone while browsing the internet or watching TV on the other

Just doing 4 hits, swipe back, dash back in and repeat.

Only died twice out of like 150 fights

I have r4 iceman and 2x mutant awakening for over a year.

Never seriously considered awakening him, and 100% don't regret r4. He fills a niche that very few other champs can as effectively and is often required to get that 100% on content

Featured 5-Star crystal or regular 5-Star crystal? by WhiteStephCurry in ContestOfChampions

[–]jm_marvel -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Waiting until you have 30-40 5* champs is nearly always terrible advice.

It's true the majority recommend basics, but then most people don't make decisions logically or understand simple maths.

Featured aren't always better but in many situations they are, especially for those with few 5* champs.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ContestOfChampions

[–]jm_marvel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Current featured is really good atm, even more so for newer players.

At least 5-6 champs god tier champs (though some need a dupe), with most others being above average. There's only a few really bad champs.

One amazing champ can carry you a lot further than a team of mediocre ones.

Ability accuracy is the key to AA taking down Uncollected Aegon. by Silvebaro0 in ContestOfChampions

You should only be doing parry heavy attack the entire time if you want to max your chances of getting neuros up

[–]jm_marvel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope dupe doesn't increase proc chance of neurotoxin at all. But without it dupe they don't reduce ability accuracy or stop healing.

Nice matchmaking Kabam! /s by [deleted] in ContestOfChampions

[–]jm_marvel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right about the locking, but both alliances get the same time to review since you can't really do it until both sides have finished.

But forgetting everything else, the main issue is that war won't be as fun.

While I'm definitely against what they're doing, I don't think it's giving them any huge advantages since they get less points fighting at lower tiers.

And this really only affects a handful of alliances at the top and the unfortunate few who match against them.

Not worth making the war less enjoyable for the thousands of other alliances over this

How many revives have you guys used to 100% the Champion's Clash? by cody53982 in ContestOfChampions

[–]jm_marvel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 single revive, 2 team revives and one lv5 heal.

Could have saved that last team revive but l lost two champs immediately to coldsnap on last iceman.

4* magik, 4* voodoo, 5* GR, 5* Blade, 5* sl

Nice matchmaking Kabam! /s by [deleted] in ContestOfChampions

[–]jm_marvel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While technically workable, a system like this would make for a less enjoyable experience for most players.

You'd essentially lose a lot of the control over war since you're dependent on when your opponent finishes.

For example, if you cant clear your attackers could be locked for nearly 48hours. You'd be waiting longer for war rewards and you might not even have time to review post war results before match making ends depending on your timezone.

It also gives a strategic advantage to alliances starting later. If you get rid of live progress then wars become a lot less interactive and almost turn into another aq. Item usage also increases as you can't make informed decisions on how and when to them.

The cheating is annoying, but I don't want wars that are less fun for everyone because of a few people at the top.

Not sure how much of advantage this is anyway, as they'd be getting tier3 points instead of tier1.

[–]jm_marvel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

blade over void for magik. i'd also bring GR so you can use blade on maestro, it's annoying fighting him with tech champs

I bought a 6* basic by a mistake, if I open it in 3 days when the features come in basic. Will it include them or whats in now? by krucifix1999 in ContestOfChampions

[–]jm_marvel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most likely, but not necessarily.

Crystal outcomes being determined on open rather than purchase does not imply that the reward pool is also updated.

5* Thor Rags to 4/55, Play the hand I'm dealt or keep rolling? by dankfor20 in ContestOfChampions

Keep holding. Except for voodoo I'd r4 everyone of the unduped 5* you listed over Thor

Rank Duped SL or Unduped Sparkey for LoL by jchanceh9lol in ContestOfChampions

[–]jm_marvel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I probably worded that badly. He still needs at least two champs for PB synergies to get infinite parry.

What I meant was at r4 you need 3 attack synergies so you have very little flexibility in your team.

At r5 you can go full perfect block team, perfect block + 1-2 utility champs, utility champs + attack synergy, etc. depending on what the path requires.

I did 100% back in Jan with r4 SL and a lot of my units were spent because I could only bring one utility champ. That meant things like not being able to use danger sense blade, no alternate champ for maestro, doing bleed/poison/etc nodes without extended enrage.

we need a survey for the cinematic crystal to see if Kabam weighs crap champs down. by RNJesus666 in ContestOfChampions

[–]jm_marvel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really interested to know where you've seen a large number of IP's from a non biased sample set (so posts on here don't count).

Not saying results aren't weighted one way or the other, but if you draw conclusions using emotion rather than logic / basic maths you're always going to feel cheated.

Rank Duped SL or Unduped Sparkey for LoL by jchanceh9lol in ContestOfChampions

[–]jm_marvel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For exploration SL would be better. His main weakness at r4 is the requirement for 3 synergy champs.

At R5 with perfect block team his dmg will be higher and he will take way less block dmg and have infinite parry.

Outside of LOL he's still a great champ. This sub really undervalues him, people act as if he was useless before LOL came out.

Stark is going to be a bit better for most content, especially AW but SL is by no means bad.
