Re: Okoye everywhere

So after ten pages to summarise:

You put your nerf Okoye in
You take your nerf Okoye out
In, out, in, out
You shake the meta about
You do the Okoye koki

No chance of a turn around
But iHulk is still about

So...all together now

OOooooooooooooohhhh, do we need Okoye
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH do we need Okoye
OOooooooooooooohhhh do we need Okoye

That's what this thread is all about! (tl;dr)

I appreciate this thread simply because it´s not about Okoye.

Re: Which was your least favourite/ most hated meta team?

I personally hate Bishop the most. It’s not just the fact that my teams are eternally stun, but that there is no effective 5* counter against Bishop. I can’t play around Bishop, because I have to match 3! And match 3 triggers Bishop (sigh). I can accept that the games takes long (ala Britty), but Bishop games are long because my whole team is stunned and I can’t take a single move. That’s not fun.

Unbelievable that this thread has gained so much traction. I, for one, am against the Tonya Harding approach to competition. I don’t place well in PvP and it is was it is, don’t want mine or anyone else’s toys to be ruined so I can feel or do better.

that doesn’t mean it isn’t selfish.

Who would be so evil as to ruin a children's toy?
Surely a selfish, evil, bad, meanie person that doesnt deserves a thing.
Now if that same child is using those toys for to bully and crush his fellow mates, and he knows it, and he wants to do it forever, now that approach changed a bit. The innocent child was not so innocent. Nor the selfish ones were so clear.
Its funny because I dont recall so much sentimentalism when it was worthy and bishop. They werent children toys, they were more like the bin ladens of the evil meta.
They left pretty crippled Hawkeye, still. I recall some forumers who chased him.

The truth is that meta was less health pack abusing than this one.

What? It’s a competitive landscape man. There is no bullying. What should people do, not use their most effective tools which they grind for or spent a ton of cash for? That’s just silly.

MPQ is not a social utopia experiment to the best of my knowledge.

Re: Okoye everywhere

I really don't know how anyone can complain about Okoye at this point. She is the definition of a well designed character that is also really good.

If you are asking for changes to her then I assume you just don't like strong characters over all.

She brings a ton to the team, is useful in some situations on defense but isn't a pain to defeat... She is overall completely balanced and really good. It's what you should want from all 5's instead of the gimmicky ones like we get most of the time.

There is no way we should be getting 2 5's a month and Okoye is still pretty much the de facto 5 along with Thor, BRB, kitty and Apoc.

Where as every month there is a 4 star released that can be very usable if not meta lately....

All this to say Okoye is fine, and actually the over all health of the game is better because of her.

Mindless One Appreciation Thread

I wanna sum up what I like about mindless ones:

- Gives me time to think about my life choices
- Allows me to take a shower before animations resolve
- Allows me to spend more time with the game rather than my family
- Lets me check for dead pixels on my display
- Allows me to tinker with the video overlay feature of iOS

What did I forget?

It may seem novel, but if you want to compete and don’t have the characters necessary or they aren’t high enough level, maybe just keep all your resources until they hit a store and you can grab them and level them up. Of course, do it at your own risk because the next guy might come along and rally for all your hard work and commitment to be ripped right out from under you. Meritocracy is not a highly valued system in MPQ it seems.

Sorry if any of that comes across as harsh or rude, but when will this nonsense stop? Very easy to shake your fists when it won’t completely destroy your own game, that doesn’t mean it isn’t selfish.

For reference, I have all the meta at least baby champed, so losing Okoye or IHulk would be inconvenient but not catastrophic for me. I see plenty of rosters that doesn’t apply to though.

Mayo,

I don't understand this talk about "exploiting the system"? How have any players who chose to chase Okoye exploited anything? Tall rosters v broad rosters has always been a thing, no? Pursuing an "all eggs in one basket" strategy is always risky (same for 4* players who exclusively chase Kitty, likewise see GAMBIT) but I can't see how it is an "exploit"? Your additional comments in point 3 seem to be also heading towards some strange place about relating a mobile phone game to people seeking a competitive edge in a competitive game as somehow making the player morally bad?!?!?

Levels as requested: Okoye 5/3/3 lvl 390 and iHulk 2/2/1 lvl 300 but I don't really use either much. So I have no dog in this fight at all but your last post is verging on paranoid, matey!

Hi, an exploit us anything that should not happen in a system, like parking your car in a place reserved for pregnants or having a winfinite with 5* captain marvel that worked flawlessly against almost any team.

As it has been abundantly commented, okoye amplifies damage to unexpected levels. With half thor you have very good attack and poor defense but with ihulk attack and defense are supreme always.

I am not pro okoye nerf, as stated from the start i prefer devs taking a mitigating acción, why? Because the only way to counter that team consistently is with the same team. So go ahead, do so but in the way dont baby seal everyone else since it is bad for gameplay and business.

Would you play a game where you have no chance to win?
Would you play a game where one day you are playing against other players qui pro quo and the next few weeks they got okoye 50+ levels up? Better offer a 50lvl boost for okoye at 1000usd and watch how it sells while the game shuts down.
Can you play the game that way? Of course, but that does not make it correct or the way to go.
Having so many teams and ways to play is this this kind of exploits that will end the game in the long run.

Devs read all posts i guess and being repetitive is something i dont like. I myself have spent too much money for the season after spending no money since the first shardmagedon. I started putting some money until last week but now i will again return to making my target wins in pvp and do pve, i already have the roster to play without money and will probably start investing again when devs address this issue as they have done before.

Devs have many options to mitigate any exploit as they have done before and even if the affected players leave the game (only the specialized ones will probably leave but as we all know evolution does not favour them) is better to lose some fingers than lose an arm.

Cheers!

A lot of sensationalized language being used like “exploit” and “unexpected levels”. If you know basic math, you can can know what type of damage to expect with Okoye. It’s far from “unexpected”. She’s not an exploit. She’s just a good character. I don’t fully understand what it is you even want, if you don’t want a nerf. What does a “mitigating action” look like to you?

Bottom line is that you invested all your money into a team of solid bench players. Someone else used those same resources and got themselves a superstar in LeBron Okoye (and drafted Kyrie Hulk... a rookie role player that plays REALLY well with her.). Now their team is dominating yours, and you’re calling it an exploit, just because they chose to build their roster more effectively. Now if LeBron gets injured/nerfed OR if Kyrie goes down (since Okoye is a liability without Hulk anyways), yeah that team is screwed. Their entire salary cap is sitting there wrapped up in a now useless player. But you’re running to the commissioner trying to say “LeBron is cheating it’s not fair!” and of course have zero evidence to back up your claim.

Okoye: 477 / IHulk: 453; and 48 other 5* champs. We’ve had people with big Okoye’s, small ones, and ones that don’t even use her disagree with your assertion. And now you can add one with an even broader roster than your own to that list. My most recent shardget was Banner for god sakes. Talk to me when you have that level of commitment to MPQ diversity, lol.

Also, as an aside, there is no “winning” this game. You win an event, there’s another one immediately after. Champ a character? Back on the treadmill in two weeks. A lot of the 550 players are BORED STUPID despite winning a ton of rewards. I’d encourage yourself, Michael, and others who put themselves in that victim place compared to other players to think about where you derive your fun from. For me, I probably could have joined them in 550 Okoye land, but again, I believe Banner, Rescue, Wasp and Widow were my most recent shardgets. I’m okay with that. And I’m not going to call other players cheaters just because they went the more efficient route and chose winning rewards over variety. I say good for them! They earned it.
