I wish the boosted PVP roster was different than the Heroic roster. I usually use one team for PVP and my whole roster for pve. That way I wouldn’t be forced to use the same roster for both and use healthpacks. But with Xteam healing themselves it hasn’t been an issue this time.
I do enjoy them, but only every once so often. Not every third or fourth PvE. I do like them because they reward players who have a diversified roster vs. a only a few top heavy characters in a tier and you normally see less players in them so placement is generally easier.
I don’t think they are bad, the devs just have them appear far too often. This game needs NEW PvE content. New stories, challenges, new goons/villains, etc. That way they don’t have to recycle events so often and wouldn’t have to do heroics as often.
I enjoy them for the most part as they add some variety and a new set of challenges
give me some tools to work with and yes. give me a thumbtack and scissors and I’m not gonna build a house with it. most heroics are simply endured or skipped. this one has been fun. thank you im40, xpool and 4pun.
I hate the restricted roster. However I am trying to be positive so here goes…
I love that it is restricted roster because now it doesn’t affect my pvp as much. Since the rosters used for pve is not the same roster I use for pvp.
Yah, more iso in pvp for me!
I usually hate them, but IM40/Peggy with either 4Pun or Xpool has been really a lot of fun.
I just T1’d Venom, so yes, with boosted champed Peggy / Punisher / IM40 I like them.
That’s only thanks to an awesome weekly boosted list, though.
I don’t want to imagine playing this with a 5 cover Blade, Craptain, Baglady and Baglord.
To be honest starlord wouldn’t be too bad with baglady. None of their colors overlap. Starlord would have so many yellow cds out. Then just use red to kill them all at 7ap? Craptain would be pretty much useless though and would actually make starlord weaker. Haha if they boosted bagman and starlord, it would be a pretty good combo too.

I like them better than 7 day events with Kishu fights.
No.
But I’m pretty jaded from all the events really, where you are constantly just fighting Bullseye, Daken, Ares over and over again. I am so sick of the Adamantium Bones, Pheromone Rage and Chemical Reaction animations. I swear those animations alone take up half of the play time.
I think I need to quit but can’t bring myself to do it…
Nope. Not me.
Kishu fights don’t phase me anymore. Quake takes care of that problem.
I think there are special wards for people who like Heroics.
Day three (of Venom: Heroic) reminds me of the worst part of Heroics: Carnage plus Muscle minus counter (or any time really effective counters are absent). I suppose Squirrel Girl could be considered a kind of counter, but you’re better off with stuns and cleanse abilities than the damage boosted by enemy tile spam. When your roster is already limited, the attrition and cheap AOE of dealing with Carnage is just cruel. If it weren’t for the sustain offered by XF Wolverine and Deadpool, things would have been even worse.
I love grinding a Carnage/Muscle/Muscle essential node six times with only a limited roster. (note the sarcasm there)
The only saving grace is that there is a sweet sweet mystery boost as a reward for the 6th reward or it might not be worth it.
Another voice to add to the ‘depends on the roster’ chorus. I also note that I prefer Heroic which don’t make the newest character the required character because who wants a 1 or 2 cover 4* being the required character? No one, that’s who
What I’m hearing most is that it depends on the characters, but even if the characters are good does that make it better than a regular event with it’s buffed characters and full choices otherwise?
If not, I guess I don’t see the reason in having Heroics only some will enjoy instead of a regular PvE or maybe even some other new format?
