I cannot say whether or not he is on the level, but I can say that those of us in MMR hell commonly see the same three or four opponents in rapid succession. When I see one that I can beat, I hit that person as soon as I see him, again and again.

Unless I recognize their name from the forums and they are not tanking.

My recollection may be wrong as there are so many similar teams but my impression from hulk1 ending was I fought the same opponent in hi-tech then in city then in jungle. Possibly a bug threats the arenas as separate picks and hitting someone does not prevent properly to avoid another match.

Fast kill is usually possible especially if you start with stockpiles. And not one time I has lucky start to get 2 initial 5-matches. So repeated win every 2 minute in itself is possible normally. But I'd use Support woth time and account name, they should have logs to see is anything fould actually happened or may uncover an actual bug.

He is running 120 hulk, 90 mags, 40 doom, against my 115 rags, 90 doom 90 mags. I even threw my 120 hulk back at him and it didn't slow him down at all. I don't care because I was just ISO farming before throwing out bagman, but what the hell?

That guy again, others have been saying similar things the last few weeks about him. I hadn't seen him before he won the last hulk event.

I've run into that player as well - experienced the same thing with getting hit 4-5 times in veeeeeeeery rapid succession against my boosted 141 Hulk, 115 Doom, 141 Spidey in the Smash Hit tourney. Even with boosts I'm not sure how you pull that off.

The villans seem way weaker than usual, all 4 of my vilans are dead after 2 fights, what is the point of having boosted characters if they only do 2% more damage, usually I could easily kill anyone without more than one villan, now I can't even kill woverine and original black widow. Boosted rags does 200 damage for 6ap its terrible when he used to do 800 for less ap.

ICEIX said that the buffed this time is only 100% versus previous LRs of 175% buff. Thats why non-villains are not as weak as they use to be and why you will notice the health of your guys much lower than last time.

My tanking is notttt working. Tanked Hood and Doom today (had to skip some tournaments too) and in Magneto I'm still seeing high teams. Oh well. I don't have time to go after the villain covers even though I could use some more Mag and Rag.

I am just harvesting ISO to feed Ares for this week's tournament. He went from 6 to 40 and he is just going to get beefier as the day progresses.

First time I am really trying in Magneto after some decent tanking and sitting at 380 and still not sure if I got top 25. Crazy how competitive Mags is. In hood, Loki or doom 310 easily got me top 25.

Magneto is the new Big Bad now that Rag is nerfed. His purple skill Is the sole reason I have a fully built Ares and six spare covers. He lacks Hit points so that he is not scary on defense, but his ability to quickly end matches makes him an MVP in any fight.

Is anybody here jacobpc? If so, can you tell me how you are downing me 3 times by the time I down you once? Kinda ridiculous. If not, can iceIX check to see if this is legit? Probably is and he got a lucky starting cascade or two..a few times in a row..but it was pretty ridiculous. Between thereck and jacobpc I was lucky to scrap out a diabolical even then I threw up 25 hp to block in the last 30 sec due to the speed at which Jacob was winning.

@Fulu... Not sure its coincidence that Jacob and thereck are hitting like that against multiple ppl. Maybe its just a game error multi registering the win? And I've dealt with thereck before doing this.

I'll forward both on to those who can do more detailed checks, not a problem there. Looking at the two, I can see that Jacob has spent some *serious* cash with confirmed purchases over the past couple weeks, places well but not amazing in most tournies, and has characters that match about what the currency that's been spent is. Spending money doesn't mean they're not cheating though. Thereck? Also looks fairly innocuous, but the behavior you all describe does seem a bit weird.

Just as a general note: If you're cheating, you're cheating. We don't care if you've spent zero or a thousand bucks. We'll take action if you cheat. Period.

Got lucky and scored barely in the top 25. Now have two purple after the one i got from a standard pack a few days back. I have to say even with just 2 purple covers he is a beast.

Funny, the Ragnarok round started and all of a sudden I'm getting attacked much more frequently in the Ares tournament.

Wow was that an easy round. No one was trying at all. Was going in strictly to tank but decided to try to place strictly for the diabolical since my Rags green is already maxed and no chance of getting top 8. End up pulling a purple Mags with the diabolical token. This has been the week of Mags for me, pulled a blue and purple from standard tokens in the last 4 days then get top 25 for another purple Mags and now pull another purple from a token.

Shame he will be getting nerfed.

Any other high level players getting kinda bored? Lightning rounds were my go to for high level content but not having these to go after is kind of a buzz kill.

I'm not completely maxed out on villains but close enough that I don't really care anymore.

Doom 4/5
Rag 5/5 (went from 3/3 to 5/5 last week and I dumped enough iso to get him to 90 sigh...)
Hood 2/5/3
Loki 4/2
Mag 3/3/5

I'd go after finishing up Mag but no point in grinding out the covers because I wouldn't train them anyways until the nerf details come out.

Spoit

While 1.8k might be a bit more than they want, considering punisher's is less than that for 8, this lightning round thunderclap feels about where a 3* red should be

Yea kinda. I was more excited for getting 4**** wolvie in the hope he gets better with buff. Mag is 4/3/5, ill try to get him later but its kinda mag and rag rolled into one now. Hood is 4/5/2 I believe. Don't care about the black at all and the yellow would be hard to get. Not worth the effort..just hope for it in a token I guess.. rag got finished last round, doom is done, and Loki needs a black cover or two I think 3/5 or 4/5?

With rag nerfed non of the characters except mag are that amazing..and he is about to be nerfed fo some extent (hopefully still good. I never thought he was op like rag..more like a glass cannon 6 ap for blue and fixing his purple, and giving.him a diff red is all i hope they do...or less). I would consider using hood if he had More hp or his yellow/black were better. Doom is okay, but I never use him outside of lr. Even at lvl 100 he is neither tanky enough nor damaging enough. He is a fine 3rd to cover black though and might pair well with the new wolvie. Loki is, in need of a buff, 3rd power, a 4**** version and just say"Ehh" to his 3***, or more character synergy with newer characters (like how he seems to probably work well with the new wolvie( Though I forgot that his turns att into def so wolvie wouldn't be getting 1300+ strike tile damage but some att and some def).
Point is, none of them really have that must have factor right now ...even mag who ppl might be building 5/3/5 to learn.he should now be 5/5/3 or 4/5/4 or something.

Really.I need ISO lol.

I'm not a high level player, but I have just about maxed out all the 'common' covers for the villains. So, I'm finding it too hard to compete for the top 10 and too frustrating to land in the sweet spot for a diabolical.

Unknown

ugh Top 2 in the Hood is ridiculously hard to get

Long time lurker...first time poster.

I am a little disappointed that the lightning rounds are only 100% now. Doesn't feel as lightning like!

Also as soenottelling above I just experienced the wrath of jacobpc hitting me over and over rather quickly!
