The most frustrating MPQ moment

Is not when you open a 10-pack and there's 0 golden covers.
Is not when you got cascaded to death by AI.
Is not when you get 20 ISO reward for 4th in a row completion of super tough node in PVE.
Is not when you open golden token with XForce yellow cover when your XForce is already in 1/1/5 build.

It is a moment when you open MPQ to play for just 20 minutes before your girlfriend leaves bathroom so you depart to work together and you read the message "Check internet connection" for following 20 minutes...

    How about using a health pack on someone only to have them destroyed by a cascade the very next match. I'm looking at you PunPun...

    Is to hear of someone drawing a cover you'd kill for, casually remark what bad luck as he's already got him covered, and dismiss it as 500 iso, while aiming some rant at dev/RNG.

    Middle of a PvE match all lvl 300+ and a friend tries to call 3 times during the match. The last enemy only has 1k health left. You ignore it and on the third time calling Marvel closes...

    Yeah, this got so bad that I decided to do a 'Dailies' node before I played any 'srs bzns' matches. This is where I played a single match either in the SIM or the Prologue so that I could cash in the daily reward, alliance reward and Deadpool points at the same time. But that only changed my frustration from the pop-ups, to me forgetting to switch out my team. icon_mad.gif

    Technical issues are always not funny. When the RNG yells at you "Today you are unlucky!" it is not funny again. I (almost) got used to these "not-funny-things".

    The last time I got really frustrated:
    I tried to make a final push in PvP and I lost my very first match. Damn, losing points AND 3 health packs is really annoying. My motivation committed suicide.

    curing and bringing my strongest team for a hard match with teamups and boosts, and only to have the game crash at the last moment. On restarting the game, the whole team is dead, with no healthpacks...

    Every time you get 20 ISO

    Or

    Having to swipe to the left AFTER EVERY TURN to see the enemy AP


    .... So basically, every day

    Trying to rush through a shield hop when someone decides they're going to phone you, and keep trying until you answer. Ordinarily you'd ignore it, but it's your wife calling to find out why you've been in the toilet for 10 minutes.

    Pretty much any PvP game at the moment where I have better or the same characters as the AI, but the AI magically gets 2 monster cascades in its first couple of turns, has about 15 of each colour and then proceeds to completely wipe out my team before I've managed to trigger more than one ability.
    This has happened the last three times I've tried to join a Lightning Round. No joke.

    Starting an easy goon node right after you realize you have +1 all, 80% damage and a critical boost still equipped

    Boosts should not re-equip automatically like team-ups...it is indeed the most frustrating thing to lose those (especially the ones that you would need HP to replace) knowing that you will need them in a crucial moment & won't have them anymore! icon_eek.gif

    All that because you are either trying to go fast or they were there from the last game you played at a big moment hours ago & you just were on auto-pilot to begin your next run...not cool at all!

    Spending hundreds of ISO on PVP skips to get a match worth more than 15, and when you finally get it one, it's max XForce/4* Thor with a maxed featured.

    Starting a shield hop winning the match and the pop up "Would you Like to Rate this App" Shows up. Do you really want me to rate this app after I lose 50 points becuase of this pop up? I think not.

    Scaling that makes a rated easy node (which should be rated as normal if not for that stupid patch change) to a rated hard node (which should be an impossible). How am I expected to take down a Daken-Moonstone-Ares team that are all level 248 when the highest member I own is Falcoln at 140?

    All too often I put a countdown tile on the board only to find the AI has placed it on the only available move I can make.
