The super support idea is interesting but it made me think, what if you could roster them as a team up instead? They have 3 powers that each take up a team up slot whether you have that power or not. They use team up AP, and can be used repeatedly in a fight. They wouldn’t be stun/away/airborne -able, but unable to make moves either. Obviously too late to do this for 6*, but would be a new & interesting mechanic if implemented well.

That’s interesting, but I bet those folks aren’t the ones on here saying that 6
are useless/not worth rostering/worse than 4 characters, etc.
The range of opinions on them overall seems to be either “all the 6 are bad, they’re not powerful enough” or “they’re way too powerful and need to be limited somehow.”
It’s a new tier. When 5 showed up they made 4 obsolete. 6 will do the same to 5 (and all of the ascended characters, at least until they let us ascend to 6). Your roster will be worthless once you get 6, because that’s how tiers work in MPQ.
Was very excited until I realised he was 6*. I refuse to chase paltry numbers of shards that require hours of grinding and even the purchases in the store are just not worth it.

Just spitballing, since I haven’t played in years, but maybe if 6*s had an achievable/triggerable passive that unbalances the game when it’s activated.
Like, “make three match-5s and…” or “get 20 AP in strongest color and…” “send an opponent Airborne 4 times and…”
Something that is surmountable if the opponent has a 6-star, but something that’s challenging to prevent or survive if the team is 5-stars or lower.

Of course they aren’t the same people, because there’s so very few people here saying anything LOL
I’m not here either.
I specifically rostered Mojo to explore his holes and yes a party was had by all!

Can anyone clarify what “For the purposes of this ability, Plot HOLE! is considered unlocked” means? I assumed it meant that unlocking Ratings Through the Roof would mean Plot Hole’s passive would be active even if Plot Hole has not been unlocked, but after spending my shards on Ratings Through the Roof, I’m finding that’s clearly not the case.
It also doesn’t do team damage, it only damages the target.

I wondered if it related to the damage on drama match portion of the passive rather than the creation of drama tile portion.
Just ran into a player with a 1 cover mojo.
Peeked at his roster. He’s in 3 star land. A handful of 4s amd 5s on his roster with 1 to 4 covers. Everything else is champed 3s at L200 or less.
Thats 1 cover L500 mojo gonna make his life awful and this is an example of wasting cp in that vault.

Or that 1 cover mojo is going to be the star of his roster with his giant health and match damage compared to the rest of his roster.
That’s exactly what my old man Logan was for me back in the day with just a couple covers in his yellow and black.

Probably not bad use of CP. There are 165 4s in tokens. The 2700 cp converts to 108 pulls in LTs or a 25 cp store leaving you with about 16 5* covers and 102 random 4s.
If you haven’t rostered most of them that would suck. So many you’d toss unless you’re gonna find 100-120k HP or whatever.
OML though was healing with those Yellow covers. Mojo not so much.
Maybe it will help a bit in PvE as a meat shield (no ideal what CL he plays, presumably 7 with 3 star roster <L200). But in PvP he won’t be able to win more than a match or 2. His only other characters are L200 and below and he’s being matched up with players like me who have max champed 4s and 5s around L400. You can’t match damage those teams to death when we will always have boosted characters to use + supports.

Pulling in classics would be silly especially as it relates to the 5s. But 108 LT pulls would net him 3 5’s with roughly 5-6 covers. Man-Thing at 6+ covers is very useful (the other 2 are so-so) and better than a 1 cover Mojo especially since he can get more shards for Man-Thing to maybe get another cover while he’s in latest.
Then consider what a L500 character does to your MMR vs say a 360 Man-Thing. He’s totally in the wrong MMR now matched against people with L370-450 rosters pre-boost.
KGB
Again it’s a really hard case to make to just toss a whole lot of 4s that are worthless because you can’t roster them. I don’t think one Mojo is that much different than leveling up your 5 cover M-T as far as MMR impact.
In any case I am not optimistic about the game’s future once May gets nerfed alongside HE. We need to numbers on others but nothing has been provided to evaluate how the toons play.
People may not be logical or see “how this is good for the game” and I expect more drop-off in engagement. All they have done since Unity is mostly provided reasons to feel worse about the game.
The BEST THING they have done lately is make the game crash less often. It basically never crashed before Unity. I can’t think of any big improvement we have seen besides some minor UI tweaks. I guess it depends how much you like Tower.
My exact thought - massive difference in PvE. Though it took me ages to get the yellow cover, much to my annoyance.
In fairness, I didn’t play PvP for about 8 years afterwards…

Back in the day I pulled OML’s red so he was useless. All he did was quickly die….I sold it off and avoided the MMR blowup…also sold a Phoenix or two. Only rostered once the devs fixed the issue with iso being required for the MMR bump.
Or the person spent money on the chain offer. I believe that gives you one cover if you buy all 3 in the chain

One way to maybe tell would be how many other 5s they have. It’s a good point. Odds are that a player with a leveled up partial 5 strange wasn’t hoarding 2700 cp. probably a buy.
I had a 2 cover yellow OML and I hid IM40 and 3* Thor behind him and it was glorious!

I paired him with a low covered 5 Thanos and 4* captain marvel. In those days nearly every meta character had black as their strongest color so cap marvels passive damage would go off frequently. Then you’d fire off oml black for big strike tiles and let them kill themselves while thanos mopped up the survivors.
