Point of this slaughterfest?

This was the weirdest tournament I saw this far.

The buffed Ares at max level is primed for:

10Y: 5700 to one + good chance to 1900 more
10R: 2200 to every
xG: 600 pts per G, say 3600 for 6

And tile damage of main colors shell 350-450 pts on basic match.

The obvious start is with AP palette and R/Y, optionally can also pick G or a boost for 10 or 20 more percent.

With the opposition just a sitting duck, you can nuke the opposition before they take a breath. Whatever they are. 100+ Spiderman and Magneto? Couldn't care less. Both maxed? Ok, that will gain them like 2 idle turns, maybe.

Is that fun?

Ok, I admit it was. For the first few games. But then it turned to the most boring grind opportunity. I might have considered to go to top prize if it was yet at 1400 but the new level would mean at least 30-40 more matches like that.

The first round was interesting with way smaller Areses around (mine was at 2/3) but by the second round the hunt served all the covers with even selling off 6-8 redundant ones, and the ton of ISO in the pack.

I think for the second round and the future the buff should be considerably lower. And I was wondering that if my suggestion on slowly arriving AP from the stockpile might have mage this event interesting, and worth trying on.

    Think of buffed Ares as an ISO sink and to encourage players to level, try out and use new characters.

    To be honest, after Wolvie and Thor get nerfed, I think Ares will be a decent choice for teams.

    i didnt grind ares 2 at all. i joined laste last night, played 1 match.

    then i played for he last 20 minutes today and that was only because i happened to wake up in time. i was still able to finish top 45 in my bracket. im happy for the additional patch cover, but i look at it as gravy.

    im very glad i didnt grind too hard...sadly, in this case, the ends justified the means.

    I think the point is the devs are seeing all these people with 100+ health packs stored up and want to have these crazy high HP high damage battles so people eat through them.

    Still more fun than Thunderclap spam.

    And the point was to force Ares into the meta (and potentially Thor, out).

    except now we have buffed thor AND ares. along with C storm spam. It's a health pack nightmare!
