    Bishop/Rescue is surprisingly useful against Gritty teams. So, there's another one.

    But there in lies the problem! We hate to run Bishop but must run Bishop because otherwise we get hit while the other Bishop teams flourish. You can use him every single match and still want him nerfed.

    See: Pre-nerf Gambit (really that comparison should be enough to at least warrant a look).

    Not even close. If you didn't counter Gambit with your own you had a high rate of losing. 

    You can use alot of different teams to beat a bishop team.  Obviously come out beat up a little to alot.

    #BoostWeekBishop tends to defeat a lot of the counters I have in my toolbox. I can handle most of them with standard health pools, but once they're up in the 50-60k range like a few I saw in PVP were, doing 12-14k retal damage, that gets into skip territory for me.

    I hate Bishop so much I sometimes imagine tearing up my comics with him in it, or burning them or something.

    Remember that famous scene where Bishop got a papercut and took out a planet with all the energy he got?

    For the Iron Fist PVP I kept trying to not run Bishop, or running out of health packs when I tried him, and settled on trading wins to 75 with Thorkoye once I saw I wasn't going anywhere over 700 or so.

    It sucked and made me feel like I had just wasted hours of my time.  I realize a lot of people do it, but I hated it.  On the other hand I didn't use HP on shield hopping, so ha ha!  I win?

    What a badly designed character.

    I didn't even try that one...  Iron Fist creates an attack tile.  Kitty counters it, and BOOM.  You take damage.  Then on your turn, you damage someone, Bishop hits you back.

    Is that why I got hit a bazillion times? Oh wait, the hits stopped once I switched to Bishop. l o l

    You can't run Thorkoye, Gritty, or the other teams you actually like running when everyone else is running Bishop teams. That's just painting a big fat target on your forehead. So yeah, I ran Bishop. And hated every minute of it.

    I skipped you because you help out in the PVE room, not because of bishop...haha. Lesson learned, I'll happily hit your bishop team and give you all the reds you need! If you climb high enough you'll get more from others,

    Funny you mention "can't run Thorkoye, Gritty" since both of them have had their share of NERF EM! threads. Ever since the community got D3 to nerf Gambit every team now that poses a threat needs to be nerfed. It seems a good percentage of the folks want easy win teams. Gritty teams are like a harder grill and bishop takes a little thought to beat. Stop asking for easy mode.

    Yeah, that thought is "do I put in a 4* char and grill for the whole slice just to beat the floating Bishop teams or do I skip?"
