Michael1957 said: I actually like this move . First off , none of you used her until Polaris so you all hated her . It’s like you liking someone now because they have a new car or toy that benefits you . ( I never rostered her in the first place because if you’re useless to me by yourself primarily , how you play with others is irrelevant). As far as doing it unannounced, it’s a smart move because most people come here to complain how much they hate this game and this is just giving dozens of players the opportunity to do what they enjoy most on the boards . Four pages of vitriol in one day is like an all-you-can-eat buffet . Kudos devs .
HoundofShadow said: You trade in 1 protect tile for 3 more on the board. You will likely chase blue and use BRB's blue ability first to flood the board with protect tiles.Since he destroys the middle two rows, the two rows above will simply move down. Also, I remember that if a chunk of tiles (grouped together) are destroyed, the probability of same coloured tiles falling also increases. This means cascades happen more frequently. On top of that, he deals at least 28000 AoE or a total of 84000 damage for three opponents with his green power once you have 5ap in all colours, which isn't difficult because the opponents will be stunned anyway. After the entire board destruction, you will get back 30 blue and 30 green ap, plus any cascades.

PiMacleod said: what are your thoughts on 4* Thanos?
HoundofShadow said: 5* Carnage is going to be tough because of his extra big match damage, ap gains and attack/strike tiles. I tried this team a few times, and maybe more practices will help you to get a feel of the "timing". If it still doesn't work out for you, then I guess it's better to stick with Th4nos. If you get a lot of teamup power that you want from your alliance, I think 3* Storm might be even more useful with her random tile destruction that also gives you 14 random ap gain and her yellow power that helps you earn teamup ap faster.

I tried it with 5* Carnage, and it mostly worked for me... but there's a level of uncertainty.

It just leaves a really bad taste in my mouth and if something like it happens again, I'll just cut my losses and stop playing. If the developers want to just change the rules to their game without giving the people that play it notice, that's their choice. As a person playing it, though, I will say it is a breach of trust and how long until they decide to start diving into shadier tactics?

I know for myself I played for over 2 years before knowing the forum even existed . So I’m used to flying blind into the next event or week . I also know over half of my alliance doesn’t bother reading it either , as most of us are just casual players who enjoy a great fun game for free. I consider the forum an optional bonus to the game but even if they closed it I’d keep playing with no loss of enjoyment.
