    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.

    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

    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.

    I ran him with that team as well, and I did win the match, but I wouldn't say it had much to do with anything Moon Knight was doing unfortunately.
