    No comment yet on Max, but wanted to comment on the insane amount of banners every single match because of Max and BRB. I spend more match time waiting for banners to stop than making matches. Been taking him out first just to get rid of the opponent banners. My main problem then becomes I get rolled by Polaris if my gain purp ap support doesn't hit(so jubes can stun)or a bad board. Not having much fun but the grind continues.

    Having the option to get rid of banners in all of MPQ has been a QoL request almost since the beginning. Many have played the game long enough that they are so unnecessary and take away from actual game play. For whatever reason, neither groups of devs have chosen to make it onto their roadmap other than "that's a great idea".

    And everyone's favorite, "once the new engine."

    Yea, banners also make it unbearable to use Coulson in a match as well. If the new engine doesn't live up to expectations, it's going to be pitchforks & torches.

    The devs have already basically said they don’t want to remove banners because it makes things too confusing without them.

    Maybe they can speed up and one hopes at minimum the Odinforsaken mindless ones place their stupid SAPs much faster.

    Honestly a PvP match is more tolerable for me with banners and things than pve where you’re trying to grind through repeated content. Also banner spammers are a kind of speed bump and probably insert some team variety assuming they’re effective.

    Maybe there should also be a toggle. Too confusing with them off? Leave them on. Downside: required to remove them to place better .

    The banners are a bit tedious, but I don't mind it really. Sure, it slows you down a bit, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing from a balance perspective.

    In general, Maximus seems really good, particularly with or against SAP teams.

    He was a beast in shield training. My Black Bolt is undercovered so was essentially useless. I used Valk as my 3rd to generate Black for Maximus and she is handy because she generates strikes for you whenever the enemy team does any kind of damage.

    After a few turns and firing his Black and other powers suddenly he was doing 40k damage a turn and in a couple of cases outright killed full health Mordo and Mockingbird when his CD's expired.

    I imagine he will be a monster when ascended.

    Speed up the AIM soldiers for crying out loud. they are the worst. it takes what feels like 5 minutes for all 3 of them to do their abilities
