True Healing is like....

Feyda

True healing is like the developers using Juggernaut's Headbutt... It hurts the players yeah, but do they not see how much damage they are doing to themselves? Maybe they really think that the damage just goes away after each patch like an AI PVE node magically healing itself to full....

My frustration level with this game is close to boiling over into "Hasta la vista, baby" territory. Sure I can use my Patch Ldaken and C.Mags to keep slugging through the game but its just not fun anymore. For a short time I actually though things were getting a little better. The ability to earn 4 covers by placing in top 5 with a good alliance and the restructuring of HP rewards in PvP made me feel more rewarded for playing. I was having fun using combos like Daken / Punisher / OBW instead of my excessively boring Patch / Cmags / whocares combo. Spiderman being nerfed into the ground had annoyed me but it wasn't the end of the world and he still had at least some potential for team combos by having nice protect tiles.

Now more than ever I feel like I am restricted to playing Patch / Daken together or Patch / C.Mag if I want to be able to push and progress in PvP. These PVE nodes made me give up after fighting the first couple of battles against level 150+ Ares / Daken / Juggernaut. There is just no way to take those teams down with the limited roster without taking SIGNIFICANT amounts of damage in the process, and with no real way to counter that damage with heals, my motivation plummets into the ground.

Long story short, I have the developed 3* roster to stay competitive in PVP, but its turning more and more into "whats the point"? Use Daken and Patch forever? Boring combo... Use C.Mag until they nerf him into the ground? I don't WANT to have to use those characters all the time but by putting in lasting damage in the first place then REMOVING the only way that we had of getting past that mechanic locks our choices into an extremely narrow range. And don't give me that line that I need to have a more diverse roster... Almost 200 days in with TONS of playing time and 5 maxed 3*s is what I have to show for the work... Its not that I wouldn't like to use teams that use Sentry / Hulk / Capn Murica / Psylock / BP / GBSW / Doom / Loki / Thor / IM40 (All of which I am at cover max or close to it), But I don't have infinite amounts of ISO to spend leveling up my entire roster. And using sub level 141 characters in PVP is just a fancy way of committing suicide.

I've weathered a lot of changes in this game including have Rags nerfed into oblivion DAYS after buying HP to cover his red, but this last change feels like the haybale that breaks the camels back...

So Punisher, LDaken and OBW is a fun original combo and Patch, Cmags and LDaken is not? Okay. Sorry, when I think of fun original combos I tend to think of teams that aren't using top tier characters.

actually before the patch I didn't see many punisher, LDaken and OBW combos, I saw a wider verity. Even if I see those teams, once punisher falls, and he goes down fast, OBW is useless. If I had to choose which team I saw the most of in PvP, I'd say it would be Patch + featured + some other character (mist of the time hulk). But in general, I saw lots of different teams, but now all I see are Patch and LDaken. It sucks for the people that don't have those characters, but oh well.

Punisher / Daken / OBW was more fun for me than playing the same old Patch / C.Mag / Whatever which really just boils down to, get 9 green, have minimum 4-6 red and at least 6 blue and game is now over... My point is if healing wasn't NECESSARY you could replace OBW with something more fun like... I dunno, Loki, Dr. Doom, Hood, Black Panther, Storm, etc...

Before True Healing, the healers were an annoying necessity. After True Healing, its use Patch / C.Mags or Patch / Daken or GTFO... unless you want to use an exhorbitant amount of healing kits to play more than 5-6 games.

You want a fun combination?

Hood/GSBW/C. Storm

If you're good at the game, you can make bigger infinite loops than C.Mags.

Assuming no miracle cascades from the enemy team (haha yeah right) you might even last 3-4 battles before having to heal the whole squad too! In all seriousness though, that's the big drawback. If I had the infinite ISO to level my entire roster up, it would be fun to play different combos. The problem lays in the fact that it takes weeks of play to level just one 3* to max and using non maxed 3*s might as well paint a bulls-eye on your forehead.

So drawbacks to fun combos / using your whole roster

1.) Not durable / sustainable for multiple battles and pushing scores
2.) Not as strong on defense which = more attacks which = more required battles with non sustainable teams to push points up

I am all for roster diversity. I love to think of which heroes would work well in combos. I don't love being punished for using those combos.
