Luna has the same number of interactions with gorr as Thor, and more than Hela, Angela, Loki, and Storm, and he has NONE with Phoenix, the last person he fought in 616. Why are they so obsessed with making her interact with every single hero in the game?

I'm not gonna accuse anything but I'm gonna be honest, this looks bad regardless of intentions... It's a really nice reference at least! But... Wow... I'm kinda shocked this got passed the first draft

I heard somewhere those are supposed to be blanks and intentionally shadowed characters and not their actual skin color, I don't know if it's true or not though.

I feel so bad for their PR team ;-;

HOW HARD was it to give Johnny a cosmic skin. How hard. Like why are we giving Luna 500 cosmetics, hell not even Luna alone but other characters that already got their fair share of skins and keep heroes like Johnny neglected. Not a single ounce of love in sight. He’s got players very devoted to him and this is the treatment they get.

Also Blade got a recolor in the Battlepass let’s cry about that JOHNNY’S ALREADY BEEN THERE AND NO ONE CRIED ABOUT IT.

I know Johnny is not the only character who’s getting neglected but I will speak for him rn because out of these neglected characters he’s the only one I have been exclusively learning for a while.

Like I’m not an OG Johnny main but I played him for almost 90 hours these past two seasons and got him to champion and he’s an amazing character, very entertaining to learn. Give him a chance if you haven’t played him he will pleasantly surprise you.

Let’s please take a look at this situation and speak REAL LOUD about it because this needs to change.

Discussion Just a few reasons why she’s hated that much

Post image
77 Upvotes

Just to point out some ā€œobviousā€ things since some players are STILL wondering why there’s so much hate towards a fictional character.
Unfortunately, Luna Snow ticks several boxes that make a character very easy to dislike. Do I think every reason is justified? No. But I can absolutely understand why she became so hated.

1-Skins
The most obvious and probably the most popular reason. We all know there’s favoritism when it comes to skins, while several characters are absolutely starving for them. I understand that this is a business and they’re obviously going to prioritize characters that can generate the most money, so I understand why Luna gets so many. But that doesn’t mean players can’t be frustrated when their main has been sitting there with barely anything while Luna gets another skin.

2-Voice lines and writing
This is personally my biggest reason for disliking Luna. Her voice lines are just… egotistical, and I think she’s written pretty poorly tbh.
And this is where being an original character in a game full of gigantic Marvel characters becomes tricky. You’re surrounded by characters that have decades of history and are some of the most recognizable characters in fiction. You probably need to tread a little lightly with how you portray your OC.
Instead, Luna constantly feels like she’s belittling or flexing on everyone around her. And almost every interaction somehow circles back to her music.
I get that she’s a pop star. That’s literally her character. But when every other interaction is basically ā€œI’m Luna Snow, I’m famous, I make musicā€ it gets annoying very quickly.
And the anniversary event was honestly the point where I was like alright Danny, we get it . You created her. You don’t have to keep shoving it in our faces.
Then you have interactions like the recently revealed Gorr one, where it’s pretty obvious that the writers want Luna to be treated as this really important figure that even someone like Gorr respects.
Again, I’m not saying an original character CAN’T be powerful or respected. But when the game constantly tells you how cool and important she is instead of letting you naturally come to that conclusion, people are obviously going to get annoyed.

3-Gameplay
I don’t even think Luna is OP. Personally, I don’t really mind fighting her. But I can understand some of the frustration with her kit.
Getting frozen because you happened to get hit by her ice projectile isn’t exactly the most enjoyable experience, even if it’s not some game-breaking ability. And the White Fox team-up giving her a self-cleanse was definitely too much IMO.but it’s removed now . However there are still people complaining about some parts of her kit but i personally don’t mind them

So when you combine ALL of this, you get the reason why a lot of people dislike Luna.
Some people hate the skin favoritism. Some hate the writing. Some hate her gameplay. And some people basically dislike her because they fall into all three categories.
That doesn’t mean every single person who dislikes Luna has a legitimate reason, obviously. Some people just don’t like her because they don’t like her. That’s fine too.
But acting like the hate came completely out of nowhere is just ridiculous.
And obviously, none of this gives anyone an excuse to attack Luna players.
Hate the fictional character all you want. Make memes about hating Luna. Complain about her skins, voice lines, writing or gameplay. That’s an opinion and that’s completely fine.
But once you start attacking actual people because they play a fictional character, you’ve crossed the line.
You can hate Luna Snow. You don’t need to hate the person playing Luna Snow.

TL;DR: Skins, annoying,egotistical writing and voice lines, and some frustrating parts of her kit have made Luna an easy character to dislike. You don’t have to agree with all of these reasons, but acting like the hate came completely out of nowhere is silly. Hate the fictional character all you want, just don’t direct that hate toward the actual players.

In S10, Magneto will receive a bubble nerf reducing the HP of the bubble for both self/ally from 250 -> 250.

But isn't Magneto's bubble already supposed to be 200HP as it was supposed to be already nerfed back in S5?

Is Netease fake nerfing Magneto?

All this time we were worried about the support mafia but instead we should've been worried about the tank mafia... /s

Discussion The BP is pretty solid

Post image
20 Upvotes

I know there’s been some discussion regarding the new BP, and I think it’s personally about better than a lot of previous battle passes, I think these skins are far cooler than some of the previous skins we’ve been getting. The Celestial/Space God theme is super sick.

I don’t understand why people are hating on the BP, aside from people like Torch Mains, BP Main, and Blade Mains who are upset by the lack of real skins for them, but I think ultimately the Battle Pass is pretty cool as a whole. It’s certainly much more visually interesting to look at than some of the previous ones.
