Celebrate the Anniversary by Showcasing the Two Worst PVPs

Unknown

Combined Arms and Balance of Power are garbage PVPs. They aren't fun, they suck, every **** team is the same at the high end because there's literally nothing you can do except sentry bomb.

Fix your **** game and stop running these **** **** events, especially as "showcase" events during the anniversary.

You listen to nobody when designing the game, yet somehow the idiotic masses are worth listening to when they ask for BOP? THAT'S when you should be a hardass and not listen to the community, instead of when you introduce stupid health pack stealers like team ups (WAY less strategy intensive than environments, I still can't believe you guys actually used that as an explanation when it's so full of **** you can grow crops on that statement.)

What did you get in your 10-pack, given you got it about 700 points ago?

I was going to reply to this somehow, but then I remembered Jozier is only happy when he is upset. Must be why he likes this game so much. He can enjoy playing it AND enjoy telling everyone how much he hates playing it, win/win.

As you note, the problem is that they were voted for. Yes the public are stupid (look at the governments they / we keep electing) but I am not sure it is fair to blame the devs - What were they supposed to do say "yes we see you voted for these but you are wrong and these PvPs are no fun so we will run Earth's Mightiest and Children of the Atom instead"? They get enough criticism already for allegedly not listening

All we can hope is that next time there is no voting

And here I was thinking I am the only one that has nervous breakdowns from time to time in these forums

Are you completely tinykitty kidding? These are 2 of the best events ever. Finally you can break free of only using sentry+daken every match. You no longer hear 2* players **** about the 166 wall. You can use all of your characters, even in bad combinations and still win. You can experience the wretchedness of Daken** + Doom and still win. You can actually use the Spidey/Venom combo to stunlock/devour enemies! You can MHawkeye Speedshot enemy 3*s into swiss cheese. You can headbutt all of your enemies into oblivion! It is truly the best!

I love these two events, I can mix and match my roster and change things up completely until I get to the top end.

Definitely a breath of fresh air compared to usual.

Combined Arms is definitely one of my favorite PvPs. Almost everyone on the roster is useful and I see a huge variety of teams to go up against. CA and BoP remove the problem of not having a good version of the featured character which make them much more accessible for huge swathes of the player base. I understand some people don't like these events, but there are many of us who think they are a great change of pace and quite fun.

Talk to me when you get more than 400 points.

Again, it's patently obvious you're floating in a low point zone if those are your observations.

Hey, you can still use a 2* Daken + Sentry crutch, even if you don't have Hood. Oh, ****, coming up with teams actually takes effort again!

I do agree that after awhile you do tend to seem the same 3 teams over and over, but how's that any different from regular PVP?

I'm in the 600 - 700 point zone (not sure whether that is what you consider low). But that is where I am in most PvP's. I can only compare my experience in this event to my experience in other events and continue to give it two thumbs up.

I can't help but notice you sitting around 1,600 points in first place in this "tinykitty events".
So... Aren't you part of the problem? And isn't sentry bomb the only thing happening in the high end of every single event?

The high-end is significantly more accessible in these events, and should be "fun" because everyone is using a diverse roster instead of Sentry-info and shielding.

If the top rewards for Anniversary final standings weren't so good we could all just enjoy BoP.

They were voted on. We have no one to blame but ourselves.

Except there isn't really much diversity that I've seen at any level. 1* is almost always Juggs with Venom as a distant second. 2* is almost always OBW with tiny Daken making an appearence here and there. I guess 3* has been fairly diverse with Thor/Daken appearing alot at low scores being replaced by BP/Daken/Sentry at the top actually this is probably the middle and Sentry is probably the only thing at the actual top.

Ive seen lots of IM35's, mStorms, Juggs, not that many Venoms, a handful of MBWs, and even a classic Hawkyeye. Do people need to start using Yelena for us to call it diverse enough?
OBW has always dominated the 2*s and I do see her out in spades. Lots of 2* daken also handful of thors and ares.

You complain that at the very top is only sentry but along the climb there there were many faces that got stepped on. This tourney I have seen (not necessarily fought, may have skipped) Sentry, Panther, Lthor, LCap, Hulk, Hulk, Hulk, deadpool, spiderman, Hood, Patch, At the beginning I even found a doom and an Loki. My panther thanked doom for making everything black and the fight ended shortly after but he was there!

At the top it is the usual boring sentry bomb into shield hop, but that is a product of the sentry/shield hop mechanics not a flaw with Combined Arms. There are lots of people out there running some fun combos, but the top competitive slice is still doing roughly the same thing they always do.

My last fight before I shielded up involved Daredevil!

Funny, because all I've see OBW, OBW, OBW. Why would people use OBW so much when she doesn't even have True Healing. Oh right, because she gets tons of cascade advantages and once she gets started, it's near impossible to win the game. So let's not pretend there has been some great diversity in this game. OBW just became the new Sentry and OBW at that level is far cheaper than even Sentry can be. This is coming from someone who doesn't even use Sentry, although I have him mostly leveled up.

I enjoyed it, and our season scores are almost the same.

OBW is the new Sentry? If anything that is backwards Over the last year there has been 10x as much discussion about OBW being OP and needing a nerf than Sentry. (Maybe only because Sentry hasn't been around that long by comparison but it is still true)
