Is Wanda Top Ten for sure?

What differentiates “their most annoying troll team” in pick 3
and “anyone boosted +100 levels that week” in pick 2?What makes one a troll? It’s just people playing the optimal teams for each version of PVP.
and for most of us the rewards for Sim are hardly trash.2 -

In regular PvP there's at least some amount of time pressure -- you can't run extremely slow defense-first teams the whole time because you only have a limited time to make your climb.
In shield sim you have an entire month, so players can do one fight a day or whatever. It doesn't matter if the team you're using takes half an hour to win a fight because there's no time pressure, so everyone just runs their best defensive team the whole way.
The rewards are absolutely a joke for anyone who's a 5* player. I just looked again, it's one 4* cover at 2000 and a bunch of random useless junk.2 -
All those are reward farms...1

Yeah, I mean I am 5* player, but I still look forward to those rewards every season.Would love it if they added 5* shards or CP, but it seems crazy to just skip them entirely.I guess I get it if Sim is just that unenjoyable for some people. I’ve always liked that’s it is it’s own little niche of the game. Maybe since like you say, it’s so easy to grind, maybe the rewards are suitable as is.
You know one of my favorite rewards of the game is still the 10 pack we get every season. Maybe it’s a remnant of my climbing up, but I always get a little rush when I hit that reward.1 -

If you leave the shield sim for the last week it seems pretty easy to get to 2000 pts to get full rewards. Even if you don’t, 75 wins over three weeks is 25/week and 4/day. The rewards are decent for anyone under 5* but easily achieved if you are at that tier.0

Wanda is already meta, and for me top 10 for sure.
She is one of the best partners for apocalypse although she only would miss to being mutant.
However she is good absolutely for any character. She provides the way for to altere the board setting changing colors tactically, a skill that I absolutely love, and she provides the protection for to not getting toasted before raising shields.
There is no fool proof character in defense right now, but her performance is great and she changed the difficulty at hitting ihulkoye teams.0 -
If a single character replaces the meta and you see more of that character than the previous meta, then she's top ten.
If it wasn't for the boost of the week then meta would be apoc/wanda or colossus/wanda0 -
Based on the amount of times she shows up now in PvP, she’s at least top 5, possibly top 3. (Based on my opponents only , yours may vary )0

The Apocalypse/SW team makes sense to me. Apocalypse boosts Wanda's repeater damage, and brings quite a bit of DPS to the table himself.
But I still don't get the SW/Colossus team. It doubles up on defensive passives, but compared to virtually any other pairing of meta characters, it's very slow on offense.
If you're one of the people running that team, why are you using it? Is it just for floating or do you do the entire PvP with that team? Do you not have the power boosters/faster characters? Are you using it to avoid hits? Does it work for that?0 -

Colossus 20k+ for 6ap
Add in wandas blue which can double it.
Wanda can help u get any colour you choose after 3ap(I choose black most of the time)
Also colossus match dmg, match 4s 5s and crits big dmg too.
Apocalypse/wanda may be faster but colossus /wanda is definitely not slow.2 -

Colossus/Wanda isn’t Thorpocalypse fast or Hulkoye fast. But it’s far from slow. Colossus’ match damage with yellow/black/blue can kill most 370 lvl 4*s with 2 match 4s/4 match 3s. And with Switch’s purple converting TUPs into one of those 3 colors (for the lovely price of only 3 AP), match 4s happen about as often as an AI controlled 5* ProfX/Onslaught team.Then you add Colossus’ very cheap black (6 AP) nuke that does around 20000 when he’s in front (which is a lot). Imagine doing a Purification and then a match 4 in blue/yellow/black. That’s 35000-40000+. Easy. And tack on Switch’s passive damage boost (or CD damage boost) and the damage from her repeater.They never step on each other and help just about every 3rd character they’re with. And unlike Hulkoye, you don’t have to worry about killing your 3rd character with self hits or even bad boards or crazy cascades out of nowhere that kill Okoye in one turn.In other words, ScarlettSteel is better vs more teams than Hulkoye on offense and defense. They’re not as fast as Hulkoye but they’re fast enough. And I don’t have to skip/sweat ProfX/Onslaught teams.2

You're talking about killing high lvl 4 stars with them though so maybe you have an mmr low enough to see alot of 4 star teams and this works for you but for me it's all 5 stars boosted up over lvl 550 all the time. Wanda and collosus is far too slow to whittle away at 400k hp.0 -
I suppose I've just always approached PvP from a speed perspective and never considered that someone might actually choose to use a team that's not the fastest.
What's the tradeoff there? The game is designed to encourage you to go as fast as possible, and the mechanics haven't changed. It sounds like you're sacrificing speed for reduced health pack use? Or for fewer offensive losses?

In one of the lightning rounds yesterday like 99% of the people that I queued up were Wanda teams. If she isn't meta and top 10 right now then who is?
lightning rounds - Wanda teams
Shield Sim - Wanda teams
regular pvp - boosted 5s and/or Wanda teams

I’m going to be very interested to see how Odin performs in practice; Wanda plus a jump-in-front could be a crazy situation.0

Your quickest team will be your best boosted 5 plus another boosted 5/someone that complements your best boosted 5.
Colossus/chavez was quick when he was boosted in the thanos pvp.
On a level playing field colossus/witch is quick.
Not hulkoye quick but that metas gone now.1 -

As don't the majority of people that play pvp.
It's the minority that have 550s and can run them every match.
I have yet to find a baby champed boosted 5 star duo I can't beat though.2
