So I am a long time and hardcore carnage fan. As many comic enthusiasts must know, the new Absolute Carnage comic just launched today. As such, I would really love a well designed 5* Carnage please!!! Do not make him so he specifically counters the meta or what have you. Just give him a good, fun, and original design that can hold its own against or with the current meta. We do not need another archangel… I would be very disheartened if he was lame or nerffed to death like his 4* version. Thoughts people?
4* carnage has been “nerfed to death,” or he’s lame?
5* carnage could be cool. Boardshake and unpredictability I think would suit the character well.
But I dont think you can call a character that is part of one of the most solid 4* teams nerfed to death.
Woody Harrelson 5*
What’s wrong with the carnage we have now??? Did I miss something?
Um, no. He’s pretty excellent.
When did Carnage get nerfed? The funny thing about him is that his best partner is also his best counter! I’m quite happy to take on a Cardusa team with just Medusa on my team as the enemy Carnage does all my heavy lifting for me and I can bring who I like without having to worry about specials for Medusa to work with. Otherwise though he seems OK.
Carnage got nerfed soon after Medusa was released. I can’t recall the stats, but paired together they were too powerful. Not really Carnage’s fault as he was an existing character. I’m just glad they haven’t given Rocket and Groot the same treatment…
Oh right, don’t remember that at all, what was it damage reduction or less tiles spammed? Possibly as I didn’t have either at that time it just didn’t register. I’m now intrigued to see what pre-nerf Carnage could do.
If i recall correctly they changed his black from a passive to a cheap, 5 ap i think, move that created some attack tiles for you and weaker ones for the enemy team. Everyone complained that he was near useless after this change so they changed him back to be closer to his original design but they lowered the power of the attack tiles he creates.
Ah cool, thanks for that. Definitely didn’t ring any bells!
His passive also used to trigger every time a power was fired, rather than just at the start of each of his Turns. This was before you could turn animations off, too, so fights against him usually took way too long.
I’m day 1306 in (which I think might be longer than you Alexis?), you would think I would know this but it would seem I am fairly clueless. Lol!
If you are not in a tier or facing certain characters often then it’s easy to forget changes to them.
I am a Carnage fan in the comics as well as in the game. My just for fun team actually is Carnage/Bullseye/Hawkguy which is a blast to play.
Maybe when Venom 2 comes out in October 2020 you ca get your wish. It could be Maximum Carnage
Lol carnage went through many nerfs. His black used to have no limitations and would generate tiles every turn no matter what. Just imagine how OG carnage would pair with a gritty team lmao
Well I have a champed Carnage now and I still think he is OK at what he does.
“I’m the okay-est there is at what I do, and what I do isn’t very nice…” - 4* Carnage. Probably.
I remember when Carnage was introduced in comics, I never really got on board with it. I seem to recall he was like pushing people in front of busses and stuff as a child, it seemed excessive. i think he’s mechanically interesting in MPQ, but as a character, he’s pretty emblematic of what I feel was a downward trend in 90s extreme comics. I’m a million percent sure his pitch went like this: “Okay, so you know how the Venom suit makes people into bad guys? What would happen, stay with me here, if the host, were ALREADY a bad guy?” I also imagine the dude giving that pitch was looking like Ellis from Die Hard.
If I see Carnage on the other team I rub my hands with glee as he is gonna be a big help when I play Medusa, so actually I think he is a very nice lad!
