I'm not sure what this post means.Imagine if they released a new 3* character that regardless of what 4* team you ran, he was going to out damage and out ap gain you until he was dead. And was going to stun your whole team while he did it. You worked hard to reach the 4* tier and now it feels like that progress to a stronger tier was for nothing. Because someone in the tier below you literally counters every 4* character in the game all on his own. Would that seem balanced? Would you want a character in your tier of play designed to counter him?Would you just be happy that your best solution is to skip?I have not said nerf bishop. I have said bishop is a problem for the whole 5* tier. I believe he needs a character designed to shut him down.I'm also trying to not be argumentative, but just express my viewpoint on bishop and how he affects the entire tier above him.

These were not players on my level but could still beat my teams thanks to a low cover 5* interfering with normal play and throwing out the norm at my level of play. I looked at their rosters - they had a level 375 Thanos, a very well covered/levelled Strange and another had high level OML and a Phoenix, all 375+. I'm a deep 4* player with nigh on 4 years of experience in this game and players are attacking me with 2/0/0 Kitty teams, winning and that isn't broken?!?!? <snip>

I have a well-developed 5* roster and I get hit by baby Thor/Okoye teams all the time. Big whoop. That's the name of the game--player vs. player.My issue with Bishop is game play mechanics, the high odds things will go poorly, and the simple un-fun feeling of having your whole team stunned with little to no strategy involved in the enemy doing so. There is no counter to Bishop.There are a million counters to various Kitty/Rocket teams in both the 4* and 5* tier.

This thread is called "Nerf Bishop". So please forgive me if the OP was being more ambiguous than that.How you feel about Bishop is how I feel about Kitty, Kitty that can be used with 1 yellow cover - I was attacked by 3 Kitty teams today which had the following Kitty builds - 2/0/0, 1/2/0, 1/2/1. These were not players on my level but could still beat my teams thanks to a low cover 5* interfering with normal play and throwing out the norm at my level of play. I looked at their rosters - they had a level 375 Thanos, a very well covered/levelled Strange and another had high level OML and a Phoenix, all 375+. Why are they using such poorly covered Kitty's? Presumably because even at that level she is the better option! I'm a deep 4* player with nigh on 4 years of experience in this game and players are attacking me with 2/0/0 Kitty teams, winning and that isn't broken?!?!?My solution is don't nerf anybody or nerf Bishop but also nerf Kitty who is a major problem at my level of play, especially in Shield Sim and increasingly everywhere. Bishop ruins your play experience but Kitty ruins mine so let's be fair about it, both have to go or neither do. Fair is fair, no?So far all I have been told is no, just nerf Bishop because Kitty doesn't bother 5* players. Well Bishop doesn't bother 4* players. Just as a 4* Bishop (who by the way is nowhere near an issue unless champed) shouldn't affect 5* play neither should a 1 to 3 cover 5* be able to be used with such devastating effect in 4* play and below.I'm just asking for equal treatment/fairness across the board. Is that not reasonable?
Don't get me wrong, I can sympathise with the 5* players issue with Bishop, seems however that this a one way street with Kitty in return. Why is that?
DAZ0273 said:You say that yet I see her on many, many, many, many teams that are clearly "not good" whether they are poor Gritty's or other varieties and yet are apparently doing OK for that player as they are running that Kitty cover over other options they have in their roster who are levelled higher. Kitty + Daken? Check. Kitty + low cover OML? Check. Kitty + Carnage? Check. Kitty + Gamora w/out Rocket? Check. Goes on and on. So much Kitty, everywhere.Her yellow starts it's work as soon as there are enough specials with ANY applicable partner, I see it as an exact correlation with OML (and he should not have been Nerfed either). Unless you can do something about her straight away or just overpower her then she shuts down the 4* tier and below in the same way that Bishop shuts down the 5* tier as being nothing more than an iso skip because she rampsup from nothing to you are all dead in very little time. Just based on her Yellow passive.

Is that not reasonable? So again if a 3* character came out that got to damage your 4* team for equal damage that you gave to him every turn passively during your turn, and gain more than double the ap that you do every turn, would you want something done about it?I have not said "no just nerf bishop". I am saying and will continue to say that the 5* tier needs a character made to shut down the absurdity that is bishop.I happen to also feel that the characters at the higher tiers of the game should be progressively better. Not to be struggling to defeat the tier below them.The whole model of the game pushes you to progress your roster to higher tiers. But why progress up a tier when the one you are in has a character that counters the tier above them?
Sm0keyJ0e said: I don't support a fix for Kitty because she isn't broken. I'm sorry, just being totally honest. She helps people punch above their weight, and that's great. She's useful for PVE. She's a very good 5*.Bishop is broken.
Sm0keyJ0e said: Don't get me wrong, I can sympathise with the 5* players issue with Bishop, seems however that this a one way street with Kitty in return. Why is that? I guess my argument is you should have a problem with characters from a tier higher than your own.
