I was looking forward to the Balance of Power PvP, thinking it would be an opportunity to use some different teams, at least early on. Everybody being equal means new viable combos, right?
Well, I guess I was being naive, because every player is running the same old, same old teams (minus Bishop/Worthy, but plus Polaris). And since we’re all about instantaneous massive dmg now, bring lesser characters at your own risk.
This PvP used to be fun and unique. I used to run Spider-squads in this one.
BoP has always been a slaughterhouse. You either enjoy it or you don’t. Me? I’m more of a Combined Arms guy and I have no problem beating up some seed teams on BoP for a couple tokens and then ignoring it for the rest of its duration.
Exactly what I believe , these 2 events , it doesn’t matter if you’ve played 2 years or 7 years , you can beat down those players who run all over you in every other PvAI. I second this vote
That was my experience too. I did my climb last night and would get delighted seeing Gritty teams knowing it’d be an easy win for Polaris (with backup from Sabertooth). The Queen is dead, long live the Queen.
Wow, so far I’ve only seen one BRB/Kitty/Polaris team in there. I hulkoye-apocalypsed them in short order, and went right on with my day. Are people struggling with Polaris opponents?
Most of us have Polaris with bad coverage. That combined with her low health in general, make me view her as more of a liability. Not sure if this is how other players view it…
For BoP, the health isn’t an issue, since they are all put to the same level. I’ve been using my 2/2/2 Polaris, and she still packs a mighty punch with and/or against SAP tile users.
As a play-for-wins player a team of Polaris / BRB / 4* Thanos made my BoP playing very quick & fun, even with Polaris being under-covered. It didn’t always work but when it did it worked really well. And I don’t care about defense so I’m happy to be an easy target for everyone else. I find them to be on par with Thorkoye in that they make PVP tolerable.
i WANT to use more teams, but got frustrated when I couldn’t find my toons.
apoc was beside freaking 1* juggs.
so I went with gritty and Polaris the whole event because I didn’t want to tap 20 times to find a specific character.
Polaris isn’t even in the token pool yet. So the fact that she is showing up regularly speaks volumes. And yeah, she’s all offense. She’s only a threat on defense with bad luck/bad boards. My Polaris is undercovered and still shredding special tile teams.
I’ve been trying to be creative and use lesser characters like Mysterio or Emma Frost but yeah it’s really boring when you have to fight nothing but all those meta teams. Polaris isn’t the most fun to fight with, honestly.
I don’t hesitate to hit Polaris teams. It takes pretty bad luck for her to become a problem on defense (IHulk worries me more). Frankly, there isn’t a team I definitely skip in this BoP. The overpowered combos on offense can take down just about anyone quickly.
