HoundofShadow said: These are the Polaris related teams in BoP:BRB/KittyBRB/ApocalypseBRB/MedusaBRB/CarbageKitty/CarbageKitty/R4GCarbage/Medusa7 teams made up of 7 unique characters.For every iHulkoye team out there, I see 4 to 5 Polaris teams.Boost doesn't affect your MMR. So you will still see whoever is your typical MMR.
HoundofShadow said: Let's nerf Okoye before we talk about nerfing Polaris. R4G has been on the nerf list since 2017/2018(?), and they are still walking tall.
HoundofShadow said: This is based on level 45x MMR. I remember someone saying 47X MMR is different, but I'm don't know how true it is. So, you need to wait for someone with at least three to five 5* at those levels.

You can reasonably kill her very quickly with many 5* just based on match damage. You then have an instant 3 vs 2 advantage, which swings the fight greatly to your team, even if the other two are BRB and Kitty. If you don't have good 5*, then yes this team would be rough to face and defeat as letting Polaris stay around for a few extra turns is death. Even if you don't have any decent 5*, Polaris is still fairly easy to beat. Polaris vs Polaris will almost always go in favor of the player since the AI is predictable. The only times I have lost involved ridiculously unlucky cascades or a misplay on my part because I'm half asleep. As a mostly 4* player, I can quickly beat P-Groc, P-Medusa, P-Mobius, P-Karnak and P-Sabre. I can also beat P-Juggs, P-Kitty, and P-BRB, but prefer to skip them when I'm T25 since they are slow matches.The trick to beating a Polaris team, as Warbringa says, is to take out Polaris first, then focus all of your attention on the next big threat. The only exception is P-Carbage. Focusing on Polaris first might get you slaughtered. When I shifted my focus to taking out Carbage first, I started winning more against that team. I feel like saying that it's easy to beat Polaris, you just need to use Polaris, really highlights the problem here. People who have Polaris feel compelled to use her, thus compelling everyone to use her. And people who don't have Polaris (e.g. 3* players or 4* players who just returned to the game) feel at a significant disadvantage. Strongly disagree. She’s one of MANY options people have shared to beat her. People are compelled to use her because she’s the best. But that’s not a Polaris problem. There will always be a “best”. Before her, there was a best (see: Hound’s timeline). Nerf her and there will be a new best. At least she has the Okoye factor- one who can speed the game up for you but is easy to beat. That highlights what a GOOD character she is. Not the opposite.

Sekilicious said: Ugh. I don’t know if I can handle the grind without Polaris, but this is the second time I heard rumours of an upcoming nerf. Hopefully the rumours are overblown and Morbius does his tinykitty job! Hell, I would much rather they put out a 5* version of Morbius then see her nerfed to Bishop levels.
Bad said: A polaris L 350 has 22k health, that is something. A morbius 270 has 13k.The reason morbius is not there is because it is too soon, people still dont champ him.Give time to time before talking of him as inneffective.Because I saw some unchamped morbius on hulkoye teams already.

The good thing about this is that you can objectively evaluate whether or not Morbius is "doing his job." If Polaris starts showing up less, then he's working. If every team is still Polaris, then the counter isn't doing its job. So far, it sounds like he hasn't had any impact. I suspect that's because while Morbius can beat Polaris, Polaris can beat Morbius (and also everything else). If he was a true counter, he'd beat Polaris whether he was on offense or defense.
