    Oh this is going to be VERY dull. Like a dull day before the annual dullest day in Dulltown, Dulleston.

    Private Detective Hobey Boredswash looked up from his desk to see a "dame" standing in the doorway

    "You a PI?"
    "For the right amount of money doll face, I'll be any flavour of pie you want!"
    "Yawn. How tedious. Anyway - I have a case for you."
    "Keep talking sweetlips."
    "Stop that and also - I need you to find something for me. PVP Excitement".
    "You came to the right place honeyle..."
    "No, absolutely you will not finish that. Anyway - can you find me something different here in Dulltown? Something not horse shaped tedium goo monster themed?!?!? Somebody NOT IN A WHEELCHAIR?!?!??"
    "Hey now lady, you'se got something against them disablers? My aunt Hettie was inna a wheelchair after she got her legs blown up in a freak Boom Boom explosion. Damn Muties! So you watch yer mouth!"
    "Find me a Hela!!! Locate a Captain Marvel!!! Anything!! I'll pay you well!"
    "We'd better start at the beginning. When did you last see dese missing persons?"
    "2019!!! They were so mediocre but at least they gave me a thrill until that horse turned up! And the baldie! Now...all I feel is dull inside."
    "Horse? Sounds like you'se need a vet!"
    "He has a hammer! And a silly hat! He is EVERYWHERE?!?!? My soul is so...darkened."
    "OK lady, sounds like I need to start asking questions at the DIY store! The silly hat store aint open today but believe you me, I'm about to crack this case WIDE OPEN!"

    I'm contemplating whether it is too early to throw a surprise Rescue at it, just to see whether I can rack up a record loss of points. Probably after I pass the 12 wins point which will be prime attack the stupid player with the death wish range.

    Yeah, huge thanks to anyone putting out any other team. I'll try and do the same.

    I immediately attacked the Hela team with BRB/Carnage/Prof X.

    It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me (thanks Mrs. Daz for playing that song way too many times unless she is telling me something? I'll just assume that she is the problem).

    So Rescue was sort'a useful in giving Bill some more shields but that battle took about 5,000 hours. The enemy team had a Throg team up also which spent about 10 minutes hitting me for -1 in a Zip Zap Zop frenzy, which was extra "fun".

    So now we wait for the hits to come in I guess.

    I read this in voices. It was entertaining

    I've used Hela - thought it was worth a go with BRB teams accumulating green.

    Reader, it was not worth it.

    Same went for the other special tile powers like CM, Sabretooth, and Th4nos.

    She's bad. I always think she should be good, and try to use her, and she's always bad.

    She's only good on the enemy team.
    Always.

    I saw this team at the top of my climb so I tried it, BRB, Juggs, Namor. I beat a BRB, PX, Thanos team with it. Not great, but it's easy wins for the other climbers.

    I think this might be the worst experience I've ever had in this game...

    It really is a surprisingly un-fun annual class. there is basically no great synergy to leverage, and BRB is the best available character by a mile, so it just becomes a race to be the first one to get his blue off and then slowly grind down the enemy in a straight up slugfest.

    Some are saying that Rescue (yes, Rescue) can help break through the BRB's wall.

    Should we all vote Dr. Strange?

    "Help" is a relative term. She steals 3 protects with 9 blue ap. But she converts the rest to red which will end up matching them if the walk is big, which will lead to yet more enemy ap and more brb blues. I think the better way to deal with brb is to bring a blue stun like 2099.

    Beta Ray Bill is actually way too good, and should be on a list somewhere to get nerfed.

    I'd just take away the damage on his blue, and probably make it unfortified. That power does WAY too much stuff for 6ap, especially on a character that feeds his own blue.

    You have something against horses, buck?

    BRB isn't the problem, this class is the problem. As others stated above there's no synergy. BRB, Juggs and PX is working OK. Oddly I used Carnage, Hawkeye and PX on lesser teams for some wins.

    LOL- Other than this event, probably no one who uses him ever casts his Blue. The Blue is used for Polaris's stun. Realistically his Blue could do nothing at all and he'd still be infinitely valuable because of his other 2 powers.

    You must've missed the era when 550 BRB/Kitty was a popular team. Even Bill by himself, at high enough level, can completely shut down all incoming damage, on a power that's self-fed, that hits for 40,000 or something for 6ap.
