PSA for Gritty/Polaris gameplay

Don't let your mental muscle memory forget this as I learned the hard way:

Matching strike tiles = good with Gritty/Polaris
Matching strike tiles = bad with Gritty/Not-Polaris

Was mindlessly playing some matches and realized I should not have been trying to match the strike tiles.

    Then are you ever going to hate the next few months (years?).
    The question is, will it be Bishop level hate or something below that :D

    It's going to be horrific.  She has three really, really great powers that all synergize together and then complement one of the already meta annoying teams.

    The only good thing is that her health is quite low. But if you're team is dead quickly, it really doesn't matter.

    Your own Polaris & blue AP boost will hopefully take her out of the equation fairly easily.

    I'm really curious what the Season Simulator will be like actually; I've yet to really struggle with a Polaris team when I bring Apocalypse, but it's still early days I suppose.

    I liked Bishop. So, my disdain for Polaris will be astronomical by comparison.

    I feel like Okoye/iHulk will eat the team alive, which is a shame to me as i missed out on a good ihulk.

    If you can dispatch Polaris quickly, you should be good.

    She is a true glass cannon. Devastating on offense, highly targeted and beatable on defense.

    Well spoken, a first round TU match with Hulkoye knocks Polaris out in 2nd 
    round , unless you draw a green depleted board

    Which is EXACTLY what most everyone has wanted since Thorkoye stopped being the Meta. Fast wins on offense and weak on defense.

    She won't be as bad as Bishop, for one she relatively has low health, and doesn't have the defense that Bishop has.

    Polaris was just added to the token pool. The Age of Polaris has officially begun.
