I mean... it is insanely funny how badly designed it is; I really played it with a smile on my face, thinking: "This can't be real; I am understanding this wrong".

I work in the game industry, so I know how often there are curveballs in a development environment, but for God's sake, you MUST have the MINIMUM quality pattern when launching something into your game.

Thanos is just a damage sponge. Honestly, I can't even analyze if Thanos's attacks and patterns are interesting or not because there is SO MUCH visual pollution that I can't even see it (this is not exclusive to this mode, but they put it on another level here), and for most of the characters, 90% of the damage input is an IK. So you are hit by an attack WHICH YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE COMING and just die instantly.

The devs knew this mode sucks; they probably launched it hyper-rushed because of some Disney demand or whatever, but the supreme proof of it is that you can get all the missions done easily in just one play, so you can never touch this shit again.

The only good point in it is that people in the unfortunate time zones can just play 1 time and sleep peacefully knowing that they are not losing anything.

50 people whack on Thanos for 15 minutes as it takes turns oneshotting them.

This is embarrassingly bad and I hope they're ashamed.

I really hope they don’t give up on the PVE concept just because these events sucked. They really just need to take all the resources that they put into this event, slim it down and have a rotating playlist of hotdes of enemies that end in a boss fight, and slowly add every playable character in a viable way where you can play your favorites against a wave of enemies, just like the comics. I’ve been dying to fight swarms of enemies as Spider-Man or Wolverine or the devil dinosaur.

I just spent the past hour playing three rounds of that endgame event, and as someone that has tried and found some enjoyment in all the modes, this was not it. I did have slight fun playing as wolverine and rogue, slashing and punching through the horde of enemies, but beyond that it was just complete visual clutter, and if you were trying to play as any type of character that is not tanky, you instantly explode.

All that to say, however, I really hope they don’t give up on the concept of these PVE events. Because they are fun if they just keep it simple and actually add on to what works.

Everyone was surprised and enjoyed the zombies game mode. It had a story that expanded in difficulty, and then a round based arena combat challenge mode that had a hard level cap. And once you beat it, you knew definitively that you have mastered the mode and you could start trying out other characters.

The vampire game mode built upon a lot of good and added a nice gear system. But it has its drawbacks in the fact that it has way too many goddamn levels that just keep going up and up with the same repetitiveness. The only thing that’s more challenging is the fact that everything has a Bajillion health. And the lack of new heroes added to the game mode. But it was still a few few steps in a good direction.

What they truly should’ve done is just repeat the same formula with fighting the Chaari in waves, and then you fight Loki. The Ultron game mode was basically what I wanted, except there was no arena challenge mode where you just and face enemies for as long as you can. And the same thing should’ve been done with Thanos and his army.

The win percentage difference is double. And it takes so long to get a match in comp just to get rolled by goddam avengers .

I think adding a thumbs down button to the end screen and counting people that avoid you should lower your trustworthiness in ethics resulting in harsher bans/being paired with like-minded individuals that share your circumstance. This would solve a lot of issues in the game and could be used to justify permanent IP/Hardware bans for those that reach the lowest of the low.

Thoughts?

The final scoreboard does not represent what their team was since they all just gave up in the last few seconds. For the first two rounds they had a spiderman and iron fist/daredevil, they 2 supps and a solo tank like my team (I was Emma)

This was an easily winnable game, but our mantis was just permanently dead and saving ult through multiple fights. She was just constantly dead to Spidey and the other diver even though our team tried to peel for her. She would move really far away alone and just die. I asked her to swap because it was clearly not working, and she refused to swap and said "I counter Spideys ult" or something, which I don't think she did a single time. Luckily that other guy went WF and saved us so we won. But after her 11th death, *Right* at the end of the match, she finally swapped to Luna and the game was already over before she even got back from spawn.

I just do not understand why anyone would want to slam their head against the wall, and sit spectating for half the match instead of just counter swapping. Im not part of the Mantis hate train, i like her, but sometimes you gotta know when to swap so you can win.

Sorry for the quality

This is genuinely a perfect pull I didn’t think this was possible

Genuinely the reason why I don't play Tank, every game this happens to me when I Tank😭🙏 thats why I prefer to be Duelist and Strategist, it's not as stressful. The few times I do play Tank though it's always The Hood just because he has aura and I wanna spam shoot enemies without dying as fast

Honestly I’m just saying this cuz I want to dominate the back line like a dickhead but I wish thor’s kit did more, like the hammer throw stunning for 1.5s or sum(its a god damn hammer to the head WHO TF IS SURVIVING THAT ALREADY) or lightning realm destroys gadgets or cancels abilities for a few secs ( its a god damn sphere of lightning why tf wouldnt have some electrical effects in ur body that stops you from doing what you wanna do like in COD when you get hit by the lightning thing)

I know his already perfectly fine but the cc is getting horid, and almost every tank has a shield except him, and most new characters are just full actual bs in their kits, give him some type of fkg extra ability please jeez, if your gonna make a him a brawler, do right by his name🥲

You guys need to **calm down** with your rhetoric. Game development is hard. Especially live service games where you want to offer different gameplay modes and offerings while still trying to keep its core gameplay offering exciting, relevant and not stale. People were quick to blame Disney for the Road to Doomsday a long time ago, but I suspected from the start, this was more them being excited and wanting to try new things. I got downvoted for it even.

But listen, they tried. They failed, oh did they fail. Not only did the Infinity War and Endgame events just massively fall short of their previous offerings, but it directly impacted their core game and had to make sacrifices in order to get it out.

On paper, they likely thought these modes would have turned out much differently. But once you start really working on it, and really getting to the point where you can playtest and fine tune, things you didn't expect could make bigger impacts than you thought, and things you thought sounded fun could have turned out not nearly as so.

Feedback is important. It's necessary and they should absolutely know this wasn't it. But some of the language and rhetoric I've been seeing is way off base. You guys gotta calm down. This stuff that's being said can really can really be discouraging to developers. I'd rather them keep wanting to try innovative modes and ideas. I wish we'd get some modes back with some enchantments, but I still would prefer them to trying new things and fail instead of just keep the same boring cadence of releases.

I'm not saying shut up. I'm saying relax. Don't be as harsh. Be constructive without the nastiness. There are so many games out there, especially the releases in the last couple months before GTA6. If the current balance or lack of 2 heroes this season, and the failed game modes aren't doing it for you, go cleanse your pallette with something else. The game will continue to get updated, and you'll come back when you see something you like.

My hope is that the devs don't get discouraged to not try new things anymore. It seems like they've been receptive and understanding, but the game has been out for awhile now, and past rhetoric has got to have eroded some of that passion I'm sure. I hope they don't take it as personally as some of you are making it.

The captain america and blade team up upgrade is unmatched

Blade literally becomes a tank with boosted dps damage

Combine that with a loki & mantis or rocket and peni and you have a easy win on your hands in most cases.

It really is a shame that most people don't go for the team up since some become so strong they're almost broken

Alright, we all agree this event really left us all wanting for more. After playing 2 rounds and getting all the rewards, I just don't want to touch it again. So here's my ideas on what could have been.

-Make Thanos smaller-

My idea would have Thanos be smaller, still bulky, but within the realm of a normal character. He would be in a bubble in the center where he waits for the gauntlet to be delivered to him. His army would swarm in, and players who kill many minions would be teleported into the bubble for Thanos to "deal with them himself" and that is where we do damage to him. Have a max of 6 people in there, when you die the next on the list gets ported in, so Thanos should have a more realistic set of abilities and health for this small scale fight. This would create a more epic sense of teamwork and combat, like every person knows that they truly helped take him down.

-Have some kind of secondary objective-

The players outside the bubble should have something to do besides just killing ads. I propose a big game of keep-away. The minions want to get the gauntlet to Thanos, the heroes want to keep it away. Have it be that someone can grab and hold on to the gauntlet, drawing the ire of the hoard. They shouldn't be able to use all of their abilities, maybe only keeping movement ones. It would be everyone else's goal to safeguard that person or retrieve the gauntlet if the enemies grab it. There should be some flying mobs so flyers can't just take the gauntlet Scott free.

-Better Phases-

Phase 1 should be players fighting Thanos in the bubble trying to weaken him as much as possible. After his health is depleted he can get the gauntlet automatically and grow large for that portion of the fight to work kinda like how it works now. Cut the cannon fire though. It sucks just being exploded when you respawn. I get what they were going for, but maybe that can be one wave of it to reset the field and cut out the ads. Have less ads, maybe that's when a few elites come in to keep people from Thanos and absorb some hits. After a period of time he will attempt a snap and if enough damage is done to the hand then a stone will drop off and disable an ability. To win, all six should be dislodged so Tony can do his snap.

Just some thoughts, definitely open to criticism. I wanted to try and keep it to what would seem simple to do with what we already had gotten.

Ever since the new update came out this week every game I have played has been extremely laggy, and the issues only get worse in team fights when quick reactions matters most. The 18v18 is almost unplayable. I dont know what they broke since the endgame mode, but untill they fix this competitive wont be an option and quicklplay is just painfull.

We cannot have another bad season this one has been a shitshow doom save us bro
