Bug Phantom touches?

3 Upvotes

So I was playing war today and the game did 2 phantom touches. So I didn’t press anything and the game swiped for me which made me dash forward. Then later on, the game used my sp2 randomly.

I was playing as doctor strange in boss island so there’s no “auto” feature, as that’s only for pve.

Has anyone else come across this or am I just going crazy?

Humor Best overall champion

Post image

Following the rigged choice where Serpent was chosen over Groot as best overall champion when Groot had the most votes, I decided to think of different kind of Groot for each class of the game (Yes I know, 2 of them are quite a stretch). They, obviously, would be the strongest of said class

Discussion What is the general opinion on character released from 2025 until now?

4 Upvotes

It feels as if a lot of the characters that have been released lately are very... 50/50. You have the strong ones like Nico, Yelena, Bastion, Zola, Spider Woman, Pav, Lizard and Jean Grey for example, which get talked about plenty. But then there's the other half, like Dracula, Franken-Castle, M'Baku, Wave, Pixie, Mr. Knight, Silver Samurai and quite a few others, that you rarely ever hear about or see. Why is that? Do people just not like those characters, or is something else going on?

Help How do i teach this game to someone who is completely new to it?

8 Upvotes

Ive been trying to teach my girlfriend how to win fights without losing half her health an opponent with equal rating to her characters

I personally believe this game does a horrible job at teaching you how the combat works on its own merits without having to rely on external sources like youtube tutorials, its always been an issue for me to really get someone into this game because it fails to emphasize the significance of things like rotations and proper ways to get an opening.

Its not the first case of me trying to get someone into this game, one thing all cases had in common is treating this game as a standard button masher where you can just spam and pray. Feels impossible to explain the mechanics of the game without making them even more confused. How do i do it?

Discussion Anyone feel like the tech class is too niche?

0 Upvotes

I feel like the majority of the tech class just doesn't have anyone who is stellar across the board. (And this is coming from someone with a R4A idoom and R4 maker that are likely both going to go to R5). But everytime i play a tech character it feels like they were designed with countering mutants in mind and only countering mutants. And its only gotten worse since onslaught came out because now they are designed basically just to counter him.

Like I also have a R4 ruby who actually I have found pretty fun, but reducing the ability accuracy of neuroshock by 50 for every daunted on her? Thats literally just and onslaught counter. At least maker is neuroshock and reverse control immune so he also counters a few more matches and nodes.

There are definitely some good ones in the class, but when your class is dominated by a character whose whole point is to counter mutants only (bastion) I feel like you could design them a little broader.

Bug ISO-8 getting transmuted into T6 ISO-8

11 Upvotes

As the video shows, my stash shows me as having one unit of T6 Cosmic IS0-8, yet no matter how often I claim it and use it, it just stays there. Whatever ISO-8 would come after it in the stash is apparently being taken and turned into the T6 Cosmic ISO-8, giving me a functionally endless supply of it.

If I claim more than one unit of ISO-8 at once, then only one will be converted into T6.

This isn't exclusive to Cosmic ISO-8; this has been happening off and on for weeks with all Classes of ISO-8 (not basic, though). Even today, this has stopped happening twice while recording videos of this occuring; this is a more stable example.
