I remember when MK was first released his match damage was unusually low compared to the other 5s released around that time. Not sure if any of yall remembered that. My lvl 455 MK has 978/870/761 showing for his top colors match damage. That is still lower than many 5s, whether released around his time period, or newer 5s or ascended 4s now. Would've been nice to get the match damage boosted up a bit, but I'm still happy his abilities are now cheaper and easier to fire off.
Actually, sticking with the Wong theme to boost damage, I haven’t ascended Mordo yet, but that feels like he could hit hard with blue and be a black battery for MK.
Anyone find it odd he had no rebalance to his match damage ?
They usually seem to bring match damage up to today's standards. But MK match damage wasn't even on par with the 5s released at that time, even some older 5s damage is higher than his. I've never really heard from the devs why his match damage was lower than most. That's why I had hoped it would be addressed if he ever got a rebalance.
A regular five star is going to die immediately if they try to stun a boosted Mk that s such an improv from the old one with pink at five covers
Yeah, Chasm is making a sad face. I think. I mean it's hard to tell tbh.

He has higher match damage than the old 5s, just not as high as some newer 5s. My 480 Moonie has 1186/1054/923. My 480 Hawkeye has 746/663/580. My 480 Kingpin has 1263/1123/983.
Moonie is way higher than old 5s, just not as high as some newer 5s.

as though he needed another indirect nerf already we don’t see him in pvp anyway

I see Chasm in pick-3 all the time.
MK was such a low priority on release for me that I didn't even fully cover him. Might have to now.
Now he is a proper avatar...
Shield sim runs were quite successful. Riri and Chasm teams were receiving the proper punishment for their audacity to stun, crescent darts for everyone, traps and and steals should you dare smash or shuffle, and a knightmare nuke if the fight drags on. Your choice to resist the call of death will result in the gift of life.
This rebalance has brought some semblance of balance... Take our thankful words and leave us to the voices in our heads.
Chasm has come back in style with all the BRB/Ascended Polaris teams out there in sim. Put Moon Knight in third and he’s in trouble though lol.
I’ve yet to have him survive a match in simulator; I may need to try some other teams.
Crescent Darts with Okoye dmg boost is ridiculous reflection damage, especially against auto damagers like Omega Red or Banner.

I’m also having trouble creating a team that really gels with him.
My whole MMR is Jane/Shang/Somebody, he doesn’t really seem to be a great piece of the counter play to that group.

Yeah, but that is such an easy team to counter (as long as you don't get unlucky with SheThor doing some crazy cascade... But that's like a few health packs here and there).
It’s more about not having appropriate teams to test moon knight against than struggling to beat this team in a vacuum.

I rarely play shield sim but in pick two he seems rare due to last two weeks good character boost weeks but might see him this week as all the four boosted are slow
Gamora is a beast boosted. We probably won’t see him often in pick 2 but he will probably show up in shield sim

Yeah, I don't see him being a pick-2 option unless he's boosted and the featured character is someone you'd pick to team with him anyway.

I guess we have different MMR but I used him with Apoc and Omega Red in SIM and it has been a lot of fun. I have managed to batter a variety of teams including yawn Jane/Shang and RiRi.
