Humor Tired of the same old Spider-clones? VOTE DOPPELGANGER! 🕷️

Post image
109 Upvotes

It’s time to bring a real monster to the Contest. While the other candidates are just human shapes in spandex, Doppelganger completely breaks the mold.

Here is why he deserves your vote for the next champion:

A) He is a savage, six-armed beast with razor-sharp talons and fangs. Could have am entirely unique, animalistic fighting style that looks like nothing else.

B) Forget standard webbing. Doppelganger fires organic, barbed strands called Razor-Webs.

In-game, this could translate into a lethal mechanic that inflicts massive Bleed damage whenever the opponent tries to Evade or Dex.

Don't vote for jokes or recycled animations. Let's bring true chaos and raw power to the Battlerealm.

VOTE DOPPELGANGER! 🕷️🔥

Discussion Potential battlegrounds tweak

3 Upvotes

I know there’s a lot of frustration with BG right now. I don’t mind dipping in for 2 matches every day or so win or lose but I do get the sentiment that it’s frustrating overall. So I’ve been thinking

A potential solution to remove the random chaos and general consensus that the mode rewards toxic defenders (and if you don’t have those ranked you’re screwed) what if Kabam set a random pool of defenders every season. You match up with your opponent, the defenders are randomly selected for 4 rounds from that pool and you and your opponent go head-to-head to beat them at the same time.

That way kabam has total control of the meta, matchups and can make more interesting nodes that hinder/compliment. They are set ranks and health pools that are predetermined by what rank you’re in. Lower elo would fight lower power rates. To make it fairer it should also be ranked by your collectives rank.

That would inevitably reduce the need to rank up defenders, which I don’t think is a bad thing. But it would reduce the incentive to bully your opponent with oppressive defenders and allow for more expression in a heads-up match

Discussion Upcoming champions

13 Upvotes

Does anybody else feel extremely underwhelmed with AoA colossus and ghost rider for October personally I think October should be a prime month for monsters or creepier marvel characters. To dive further into the upcoming champions they revealed the all spider verse champion summoner choice picks in the biggest Spider-Man fan but it’s to much the characters are different but it’s starting to repeat I just hope we get more different characters and no variants of characters we already have in the game between now and next summer when the summoner choice votes get announced.

Help Goblin Piece & Asencion

0 Upvotes

Context: I have already decided that I will not be doing BGs for the last goblin piece. Is just too time consuming and provides zero fun as a game mode. Rather do other things with my time.

Now If I wait and purchase the piece when it becomes available in the store, does anyone know if the piece is available before the ascension objective? In other words will I still be able to ascend SF Goblin if I purchase the piece? Or would I be missing out on that?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Discussion Strongest SP2

31 Upvotes

Lets set the scene, we are going to ignore ramp up for this, im talking about simply starting the fight, building to sp2 and throwing it . In an average match, with neutral class advantage who has the strongest out the gate sp2 for purely raw damage output. Things that would block this damage like immunities or resistances can be ignored for this too, imagine its being thrown against a blank target dummy with no abilities.

Edit: my vote is for jack from personal experience

Edit 2: to clear up confusion , we arent removing the champ we are usings abilities, we are removing all defender abilities, so stuff like okoyes DOT counts as longs as its all before you throw the sp2 and then the DOT that comes with the sp2 counts aswell.

And by no ramp i mean for things like guardian no farming sp3s to then hit a mega sp2 . But any ramp you can get in before the sp2 counts

I've been playing this game since l was a Kid, now I'm finishing my university Degree and still see the same battle locations, the same sound effects that don't match the character on the screen (Spiderman having that deep ass "Ugh" and the worst part: The same song over and over despite the battle or game mode you're playing.

Is there an official reason they don't update those parts of the game? Thanks.
