    Even having a decent RTF, I think this is a terrible idea.

    Sounds like OP got lucky on RTF pulls!

    Unlike, say, most of us. Supports in PVP would make there be a second place for RNG to screw over folks. At least you can work your way towards characters, through shards and hoards. I have four 550's....and one 5* support. D3 has left me no way towards progression.

    As a Steam user, wish I had some way to 'fix' RNG. But I'm sure it's 100% the same for everyone, no one has a hand up over me. Nope. Not at all.

    I would never play PVP again if this happened.  Supports are too random and based on luck.

    Supports shouldn't be added to PvP until there is a way of reliably getting high level (rank 3-5) supports. Currently there are very few ways to get pulls from the higher ranking support vaults.
    I would personally say that supports should never be allowed in PvP though.

    but there is a way now, with the new Supports Gauntlet everyone can have a 3 - 5 rank support.
    I think having supports in PvP could go a long way to balancing the meta issues we are suffering right now because of O****

    Hmm, I agree with you, but it would also "free" me from playing pvp ;)

    Nope. 

    But for the sake of conversation... (and because "Nope." was two characters too short)

    I'd be OK with 6* that have built-in supports as a 4th, pasive ability. Only the good stuff too...

    For attack only and not on Defense then I agree. Allows people to punch up and attack teams they would skip. Another level of strategy.

    ok fellow mpquesters, can we get some solid arguments in favor or against the idea instead of noping everything right off the bat?
    I start:
    Pro: it will speed exponentially the duration of pvp matches.
    Cons: some players may have no access to some meta defining supports.
    Feel free to contribute.

    Enable support will trivialize PVP even more than Okoye + Hulk. With Apocalypse, you can basically win on first turn without doing a match. It'll benefit some viewers players only and lessen the playing experience for the majority.

    Imagine, at the start of the game...

    Your opponent got + 12 green or yellow ap

    OR

    You are facing against a team consisting of Vulture and 3* Iron Fist, with +6 black ap and + 12 purple ap...

    And many more...

    Disabling supports for AI will never happen because it simply trivalize pvps. Worst of all, You will get hit even faster. Say, normally, you can beat two teams before you get beat down once, but with the enabling of supports, other players can beat you down 3-4 times instead...

    It would be a bit like playing that old favourite Boss Rush! You finished a wave/Boss and then all of a sudden your next opponent has *all* the AP and you were dead! Except from turn 1!

    Allowing you to use them on attack won’t make any difference to who is winning. The big players will still nuke you. It will just make it faster and increase your target options. I don’t see that as a bad thing. If I could use supports I’d be a lot more confident hitting a ihulk team or a brb Polaris kitty team without having to use boosts.

    Well even from an attacking point of view it would be pretty meaningless to me as I don't have anything very game changing. I have exactly one 4* Support being Arc Reactor and if you think I am taking a 5/0/1 Iron Man into PvP you have another thing coming!
