I understand Bishop and Gritty combo is ridiculous but unlike everyone complaining here, there are many 5* teams that apparently beat Bishop teams, this last Sim proved that to me as I got hammered in the last few days. Only about 1/2 of those teams had a Bishop on them as well. I also got attacked many times through the Sim season (not just at the end) with Bishop on defense. So perhaps it is high level Bishops that people are having issues with? Mine is only around 287 or so I believe. I used the team though for offense and it was very effective with all of the stun capability and damage. I probably successfully defended 1 out of 3 attacks on me give or take a bit. Lots of Okoye teams with various combinations were able to defeat me. Several Gritty combos were also able to beat me. Saw some Silver Surfer use too.
My big issue is once you get close to the top of sim, all that you see is Bishop/Gritty. You have to really punch down and play low point matches to not see that team combo.0 -
Big difference for me in Black Vortex was having Grocket and Gamora boosted - which took mine to just over 370, and had them tank colours over Kitty.
Normally, my Kitty tanks every colour, and so was always the one eating the first stun, leaving me in real trouble. I would have to bring my own Bishop and hope I survived the initial match/blue/retal/blue/retal/blue chain between the two Bishops.
However, if I don't bring Bishop, I have slightly more options. I can match with Rocket or Gamora and only trigger their Bishop once. I can make the second match with Rocket, and he will be the one who gets stunned (and I don't care). I sometimes got a minor cascade on turn two which would kill a low champ enemy Bishop before he processed his passives.
Altogether, it was a better experience by far, and I was willing to take on low-champ Bishop teams.
I'm hoping I can build my Grocket to where he at least tanks blue over Kitty, or use 4Juggs in Sim for the same effect.
I'm curious as to how Gritty/ProfX will fare.
I understand that this doesn't help against higher-level Bishops...0 -

I wouldn't be sad until Okoye gets a nerf, she's my primary force multiplier. I use Okoye/medusa | strang3 | chavez /3* thanos for my fast PVE clears. I only use 4ocket/5* Lord/thano5 on the easy nodes0

So a lot of people said about using 4* against Bishop and that would be ok. This just happened to me in the current Squirrel Girl PVP.
I am running Medusa boosted 479, Cloak & Dagger boosted 479 and Squirrel Girl 412. I went against a Bishop 271, Cap Mar 273 and SQ 390.
First move:
Match 3 off color.
AI:
Match 3
2nd move:
Match 3 on color with another on color match 3.
Medusa’s Entanglement does damage
Bishop’s Passive kicks in, gains 15 blue.
Al:
Stuns Medusa
match e
3rd move:
Match 3 on color
Bishop passive goes off. Gains 5 Blue
Al:
Stuns CD
Match 3 blue
4th move:
SQ match 4 green.
Bishop passive goes off ON A 3*!!!!
gains 5 blue.
Al:
Stuns SQ. Entire team is stunned with NO 5*!
win match at the end of this but the point that 4* and a 3* made Bishops passive go off proves again that this isn’t right. He is broken, plain and simple. If you can’t even use the required 3* and make a match without is passive going off, something is not right.10 -

I think if you use Howard, Taskmaster, and Wiccan (who is never boosted) you'll win against Bishop every time.0

My opinion:
I remember how bad It felt when gambit got nerfed, it was my only strong 5*, and it took me so long to build him up. So right from the start I should say nerfing a char feels bad, and it should be done only when necessary.
That said, my roster isn’t that strong, so whenever I see bishop 4* in a line, I just don’t attack. I know I don’t have a chance to win. But since my roster is considered strong by the matchmaking system, I see bishop all the time.
what’s the point of putting a 4* char which is preferable to all the championed 5*?
so what should the game designers do in my opinion?
I think that instead of waiting so long before a nerf, letting people get their hopes up that investing in this char is the right thing, when there is a case of such obvious char abuse in pvp especially, the nerf needs to come sooner rather than later.
The sooner you nerf an obviously bad char, the less hearts you break for doing so.
also, instead of trying to make the perfect nerf, which is impossible, because a char is either op or its not, you just make a good compensation for the nerf.
what is good compensation?
if u sell the skins u get free choice of the lost skins, to any char with same amount of *.
that way even if it's ur first champed 4* u still can get a new 4* champed char of ur choice.

I think his point, or at least what annoys me most that he also pointed out, was that lvl 266 3*s can trigger Bishop. I think it's usually only the 3*s strongest color, but only 2*s are truly safe against Bishop.0 -
Attack his teammates then. I don't think a boosted 3* match damage reach 900.0

Yes he does....0

There's a certain threshold. I think it's around 900 for 270 Bishop.0

So we are down to using boosted 3*s now? Please record yourself hitting my bishop and JJ with your 3* team. Why is literally no one doing this against my left out team.
Lets see some actual evidence of your 3 and four star wins against bishop teams.4 -
I present the below only to help, I do not have a dog in this fight so please don’t assume I’m making a case for or against a nerf.
My level 279 Bishop jumps in front at 940 damage and triggers Blue AP gain at 470 damage.
In the current PvP event, my max champed boosted 3* Squirrel Girl has max damage on yellow of 234, so a regular match-3 would be 702.
My 4* Clagger is boosted to level 384 and his highest match damage is yellow 189.
My 4* X-23 is boosted to level 402 and her highest match damage is green 217.

Since there are players who said that the devs is not going to nerf Bishop, then you either adapt or ignore whatever have been suggested and pay the skip tax
A max champed 4* (majority of them) highest match is 170. So you can do a match 3 or match 4 without triggering his jumping in front, depending on his level.
Find out what's his damage threshold for jumping in front and adapt accordingly.
Use a 4* with cheap stun like Gamora or Iceman to stop him.
Use Cloak&Dagger and reduce his power level to 1 and Bishop's damage threshold increases to ~1800 or more.
Send him airborn with Riri or Nova.
Make your team invisible.
Use someone with true heal.
Use someone with anti-stun abilities.
