When I'm trying to dump points, it wouldn't matter if supports fire or not -- I start the match and immediately retreat.I don't think it'd be very good strategy to retreat to someone you're trying to snipe just because your supports didn't trigger. I certainly wouldn't -- it seems counterproductive. By the time you retreat, q them again, and start the second match, they might already have reshielded, with a few bonus points from your retreat.
My comment was primarily based on two assumptions:
1: the person hitting you is coming from below, so the retreat costs them much less than if they re-queue and catch you still out
2: the worst case scenario for supports in PvP where players who choose violence every event can exploit Quicksilver-fast wins to hammer someone on a shield hop
I admit that idk if 2 is true. I can see where supports break PvP. I can see where they don't. It was more of a hypothetical scenario.

1 probably won't be a thing, unless people are still doing really really long cupcake-eating hops, or your particular snipers are really weird/bad at the game.
2 is absolutely true though. It'll definitely make sniping faster for those matches where the sniper's supports trigger. Of course, your supports will make your hop faster if they trigger, too, so that %chance is going to determine an awful lot on either side.

1 is still a thing in s1 and s3.
Both the 30 minute "hops" and the bad snipers.
I mean, you know how Beast likes to go for leisurely strolls.2 -

I primarily play in s1. It is VERY a thing.

Yeah, I'm guessing it's unlikely that the devs will view "unable to trivially score 5000 points per event" as a downside of this.

Who cares about supports when passives are out of control. Do something about that then we can start looking into supports, new characters and whatever you like. This game is in a terrible state, and even though it was really bad already when you took over it is currently worse than under previous dev team.
“Hey, look of that power that cost you 9 of x colour, it would be a shame that you never get to fire it cause you’re killed by an auto-power of a busted, terribly designed character”.

Some player in reddit mentioned that supports that have true healing have been nerfed by 50%. I don't have access to my account now, so I can't verify it.

Not on my end. Still good on Carol’s Communicator at least

Thanks for bringing this up. I just checked my support against the support thread and nothing was changed for Lucky and Carol's Communicator, which that player mentioned in reddit. That player was probably drunk when starting that thread.
Krakoa support looks pretty awesome. However, the english structure seems off. I can't tell who they are referring to for the perks and R3 effect.

Mod mode off
As I read R3: so if you have Kitty and Phoenix, their unique affiliations might be Godlike, A- Force (Jean) and Excalibur, Team Cap (Kitty). So you'll start the battle with 2 AP (current cap).
What I'm not clear on is if it's 1 Yellow and 1 Green or 2 of the highest strength. I expect the latter but I don't have the support yet to try it out.

Just tried it, you get one yellow and one green.

The new support does not equip to 5* KK despite her mutant affiliation.

I guess the mutant thing is a spoiler for the MCU basically dumping all inhumans after they bought fox and got the rights back for mutants.Is that correct?
Black Bolt was in Multiverse of Madness - might hint that they want to reboot at some point?

KK was teased as a mutant at end of credits in her TV show. I wanted to talk about it in her release thread but I didn’t want to spoil anything then.
There’s a lot to go through and I don’t want to list it all out.
Basically inhumans exist because fox owned mutant movie rights. Disney bought fox and mutants are back.
Inhumans failed on their show so they pulling away from it. All inhuman movies have been cancelled or pushed indefinitely. And the most popular inhuman Kamala is now a mutant.Spoilers!!!!!!! I don’t know how to do the tag on my phone.
BB was in MoM but so was Peggy, and they killed them both.
Ah I've not seen the TV show yet! I did watch Inhumans though... 😬
If you're on Android, at the top of the text box there is a symbol next to italics with a drop down menu. When I use that it creates >! Don't know if that works by typing it. Edit: Yes it does, but only once per post.

Inhumans was terrible because the lead character doesn’t talk. It works in comics, but not television.And because they tiny kitty cut Medusa's hair 🤦
I'm not bothering with a spoiler tag, that show was terrible. If you're thinking of watching it, don't.

Cool thing about Krakoa support
If you start a match with a mutant at “50% or less” hp and they take damage at all, the other mutants in the team will fire off a random power. The mutant doesn’t have to start the match above 50% life and have it dwindle to/past the threshold.

Thanks all for the clarification.
The ap gain feels like something that Deathlok is doing, and the mutant firing random power once is cool. This support is refreshing.

I'm still evaluating Krakoa but I'm sad to have missed the Kamar-Taj sale since it makes a lot of sense for future PVP use... any chance we CAN have the offer run again?

The dev said it will rotate into Support store in the future. Here's the quote:
"At the next season shift this support will go to the support store. Depending on the timeframe of release for support shards, it will either rotate in on Puzzle Ops or benefit from the next reward structure overhaul that improves support accessibility for all."
