At the onset of 4* Deadpool Daily nodes there was quite a bit of noise regarding how unfair the fight is, one complaint being that while players have to rely on boosts the CPU gets to bring along a team-up. IIRC the devs stated that this was because of “technical difficulties” that would require a new patch. Fair enough I guess.
Go and take a look at the Galactus essentials. Notice anything interesting? No team-ups. Now go look at today’s 4* DPD node. Still has a team-up.
So you do in fact have the capability to remove them, yet it’s still there. I suppose that’s to fit in with this spectacular new design philosophy of “you’re supposed to lose”.
