entrailbucket said: The alternative is just living in an alternate reality, and it's also giving people bad advice. For newer players, if you want to be competitive at the highest level, Wanda/Colossus/whoever is simply not going to get you there, not without changes to Okoye or Hulk or both.
entrailbucket said: So if I wrote a post saying "I enjoy playing with Starlord, to me Starlord is the best MPQ character of all-time, what does everyone else think?" everyone should agree that he's the best because it's my own personal opinion? No one would point out the reality that Starlord is actually not that useful in a competitive environment?

No one would point out the reality that Starlord is actually not that useful in a competitive environment? That's completely different. First of all, we are talking about a new character with unproven worth and some people have used her a lot more than others. Again, check my original post. This is not strictly about any format or competitive level. Thanks.And we all know who WOULD butt into the conversation and start screaming again about competitive environment even after he says he doesn't even play competitively any more! We know what gets you off, and we know you just have to do it in public. All good. Your reality is your reality and I sincerely hope you enjoy it fully.
HoundofShadow said: Is she top 10 in PvP? Yes, she is.
HoundofShadow said: I have played a few matches against Wanda after her boost worn off. As a baby champed 5* player, I find her slightly irritating because she slows down offenses. Unless you stun her or get rid of her repeater and then spam your powers on the same turn, else you have to fire one power per turn and then spam your powers when you are confident that she will be downed. This also means you don't really want to bring anyone who deals passive damage every turn or create attack tiles somehow.
killahKlown said: Not impressed. She goes down quick and easy. I will not be pulling for her.
entrailbucket said: It's pretty interesting how fast boosted 5* changed the meta -- this was way back in May, and everything was still a wall of Okoye/Hulk.I still don't think Wanda/Colossus is a good team (Wanda wants a power booster to do any real damage with her passive, and the defensive overlap between the two of them isn't necessary or helpful), but a lot of people pulled for them (and Knull) so they got used (but not Knull, ever). I tend to target them when I see them just to remind people there's no safe "float team," but with boosted 5* I really almost never see them.
Tiger_Wong said: Yeah that’s great. But your incredibly obnoxious (and incorrect I might add) talk of Hulkoye being the top and nothing else matters turned out to be wrong. The meta changed. There’s more colossus and Wanda out than any team out there. You’re talking “theoretical”. The facts are there’s more colossus/Wanda teams out there than any other team in pick 2 and especially pick 3. It’s funny how people like to run their mouth about how “easy” it is to project top tier/meta and yet, more often than not, they’re wrong.
entrailbucket said:Anyway, there's a new meta now, and a new tier list. It goes:1. Anybody boosted +100 levels that week....Tied for last: Everyone else.
