    Law #12: Whenever you think you'll have an easy win from a PVP battle, they will get lucky cascades and half-kill your characters.  Sometimes this law is enforced to the point of wiping your entire team.
    I had one of the worst of these in Piece by Piece. Going up against Grockamora with Medusa and Kraven, the AI's first match sets off a cascade that wipes my entire team.
    I faced a Piece by Piece AI with a ~470 50Thor/Okoye. They had a cascade that did 55k match damage on turn 2 and downed my 451 Okoye. Needless to say, I lost. So, I feel your pain.

    When you spend weeks, countless PVP's, and Shield Simulator matches just to get to 4,000 Season Points to get the Heroic 10 Pack and 9/10 or 10/10 of the rewards are 2*'s.

    I really love reading about Murphy Law MPQ version. I have too created a thread regarding the laws years ago as linked below:


    I think some of the laws in the link may be outdated as there ar e so many changes in the game throughout the years so I am happy that there is new laws list in this new thread. Although some MPQ laws never change :D

    1 law that I would like to added:
    When there are 4 of a kind on the board during enemies turn, Ultron Sentry Flyer's swarm will never destroy the tiles that will disrupt their 4-of-a-kind tiles or their special tiles but will always destroy or cause cascade that match your special tiles.

    I wrote this one after going up against a PVP team with boosted Sentry.  I thought it would be an easy win.  Without realizing it, they got enough red for Supernova, killing 2 of my guys and the 3rd was almost dead.  I retreated.

    When you drop 4ocket’s green, it will invariably land on a matchable tile. In that special case where the same green tile could swipe in a safe direction or a terible direction, it will say YOLO and swipe to match the countdown.

    if ever you lay that green tile down and can make a match that keeps it safe, the incoming tiles will not just be green but a match-4 setup that WILL get matched

    No matter how short the match or how stacked the board is in your favor if you're fighting the Dark Avengers they will each get to fire all of their powers at least once.

    It is MPQ Law that when you use IM40's Recharge power, either all of the countdowns will resolve OR your opponent will match all three of them away right before they would resolve, crushing your hopes for free AP. In MPQ this is known as 'The Law of 3', which proves all those countdowns exist as one entity.

    As an addendum... It is MPQ Law that Baby Groot hates you no matter what side he is on. If he is on your team, he will match his own tile or set it up for the enemy to take it out. If he is on the enemy team, he will make the countdown unreachable or if dying will match is as a big F U.

    I would rather have all or nothing with those countdowns, because if just 1 goes off, that's not enough AP to work with, but IM is still stunned for 2 more turns.

    When you're facing She Hulk furious charge will consistently drain all and only the ap you need to fire your powers.  When you're playing She Hulk furious charge will only drain useless or inconsequential ap.

    It is MPQ law that if Daken is on the AI team, there will always be enough blue tiles for him to heal, but if Daken is on your team, then this game doesn't even know the color blue exists.

    If you have a special tile on the board that you want to protect, the board will result in the only Match 3 possible for your turn including that special tile.

    I use The Milano support with R&G. Its three countdown damaging tile is a nice help with lots of strikes out. It's just that the AI matches it away nine of ten times.

    It is MPQ Law that when using X-23's purple power the trap will end up in either the lower left or lower right corner so as to be completely unmatchable. This is also a law of physics because by the time you've gathered enough AP to use that power, the only purple tile left on the board is the one in the corner.

    I have the Milano equipped to R4G as well. It's great when using them with C4rol and St4rlord.

    I have a screen grab of one such matchup where I had three possible moves to make on the first turn, all of which were match 5s.
