This makes me FURIOUS!

The power that makes my blood boil, for some reason, is She-Hulk's Furious Charge. I don't know why, but I really dislike that one.

What character move do you hate?

    Original flavor Overclocked, but luckily that’s been over for awhile. I suspect Odin’s jump in front will get there

    Polaris cascades. Unless they’re mine.

    Beta Rays Clash of the Worthy is infuriating. It’s the only meta power the devs haven’t tried to nullify this year . (so far )

    It got to be Prof X + Onslaught. My full health character got wiped out a number of times within the same turn.

    iHulk's green door is another one if you are speeding through pves. You have already reduced opponents' health by half and there are 7 green basic tiles on the board left on enemy's turn. Your Green Door activates and he just has to create a green match-3. 7+1-3= 5 green basic tiles left. You need 8 green basic tiles to activate GD. This has messed up my pve rankings a few times.

    What's fun is when you hit a ton of damage on 5* Deadpool but then he cascades into a lot of blacks and then downs your full health Colossus with one Penance Fare.

    She-Hulk's green power was a nightmare to fight when all we had was 4*.  The characters of that time had to use AP to cast powers in order to win, so if she randomly hit the AP you needed you'd have to start over.

    She doesn't matter at all now because nobody uses AP anymore, but it's kind of an ingrained trauma thing.

    Funny story -- when she was released that power cost 12 green, and she was so bad she was a meme character for a long time.

    I have to throw in The Hood's Dormammu's Aid. I can't count the number of times I've forgotten about that power after looking at my AP and thought "hmm... I swore I had enough AP for Chavez to pump out critical tiles by now."

    I hate the noise she makes when she does it too,  in that area, maybe Daken’s blue is similar.
    I really don’t like that grunt he makes.

    I also don’t like anything Kingpin does,  both tiers, but the 4* bugs me more.  He gets teamed up with goons that feed him for his wretched black on CL10.  I think one of the most annoying things about him, is it’s a power that as a player is never very effective or even any fun to use.
    like a lot of villains the character seems to be based on making them frustrating to play against.

    Last thing, certain enemy team ups are just frustrating, like Medusa’s purple, or Loki black. I can’t tell you how many times I have been coasting along just to have some stupid team up pop that seems almost catered against my exact team.  But I just notice that more than times the enemy team up is Infinity Spider putting down web tiles or something.

    edit: and very last thing is why when the enemy BRB/Polaris has a choice between her stun and Clash of the Worthy, it almost always chooses the stun?  I am like please please do BRB, but nope… here goes Polaris,

    I have a new one following the latest puzzle gauntlet - 3* Magneto's red power! It is hard enough to get team-up AP as it is but that guy destroys everything! What a meanie!

    Somehow, even though it's supposed to be random, she always drains the AP bar that you need most.

    My vote is Teen Jean's passive. Surprised it wasn't named yet, although then again she's hardly used any more (except in a few DDQ battles I guess), another victim to powercreep.

    Used to be an annoying Kingpin in CL10, such as upcoming node 2 in Webbed Wonder. Now I just use Mantis with a Yaro Root 3 to perma sleep him on the first move . Now all you have to do is deal with 2 Thugs with Strange or Morbius. Easy win.

    4* Kingpin in the hands of the AI really does play his black as described - he will sacrifice everyone, especially if he has goons with him! This is what makes him annoying because in our hands we don't tend to get multiple free countdowns to explode at the enemy - his Yellow countdowns are quite good and I hate sacrificing them! I always seem to get given his black power as a team-up also which is normally mostly useless. Sacrificing useful stuff is almost as bad as self damage in my book - only Polaris or BRB get passes as they generate more useful stuff in replacement.

    Opponents will try to use the power that cost the most aps. In your case, they fire Polaris' most of the time. There's some kind of RNG involved regarding opponent's choice of power to use. As a general rule of thumb, they will choose  power with the highest cost ap among same active colour powers. Let's say if opponent has 6 blue ap, they will flip a coin to determine whether BRB should fire his blue or save up for more ap.  I don't know the exact detail but that's the gist of it.

    Without a doubt GED blue thieving and also black power.
    He is a classic who still can be pretty annoying, plus he is there in a lot of nodes.

    There are few things as satisfying as Polaris firing her blue only for Apocalypse to be immune to it. She is kind'a smug looking in that animation! Not that I normally let her live long enough to fire her power should I be lucky enough to find a team with her on.

    Yet when a player fires it, it seems to often drain the AP bar that the enemy doesn't need at all.

    This. One cascade can down your entire team, and there's nothing you can do but watch it.

    When the AI has enough AP for all of it's abilities in a color, it fires the most expensive one.  Since Polaris's stun costs 7, it will be fired instead of BRB's Clash of the Worthy, which costs 6.  If their teammate has a blue that costs more than 7, the AI might fire BRB's, unless it has enough blue to use that third teammate's power.
