Marvel Contest of Champions - Time Killer (2 Viewers)

[guitarmonkiy]

They have GOT to be sharing accounts....

There's your answer. Stupid and unfair.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

I know that's a rampant issue in a lot of games of this type, so it's pretty much what I've suspected for a good while.

I've never understood the draw. Guess that means my e-peen must be plenty big enough since I don't care? *back pat*

 

[TenTimes]

That guy Freezze won the first elite arena with a 981 win streak. A full match every 4.4 minutes, no breaks, winning EVERY match, and that arena had a tougher difficulty. That's what elite is in this game.

 

[woot]

Few arena's ago i played A LOT, streak of near 250 matches without units, and have 12 teams to play with. Got rank 927. So to get < 400 you need a lot more very high ranked teams and spend some units for refreshes. Or use a LOT of units for constant refreshes.

I'm 100% sure players in the top alliances use account sharing. No way someone can constantly (10+ months) get top 200 arena after arena. You get burned from boredom, have something to do in real-life, etc. Hitting it every now and then OK, but not always and for so long.

Can't image someone get that streak without help. No sleep for 3 days, no meals or anything? Neh..

981 streak * 15 units per match = 14.715 units, i hope that white IF is brutal

 

[Buckna]

Read a post after the second elite arena that one of the top 10 players in the elite ALSO won the catalyst arena at the same time. So they put up like 7M plus points in one arena and another few million in another going on at the same time. Just not possible without account sharing.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

How does the account sharing work? I don't even recall setting one up when I got this game

Won't be on much this weekend, will try to check in for AQ I think that starts today?

Did they ban that guy? I just can't believe people care so much about a game like this that they exploit it like that. There must be loads of people doing it as well because even when I feel like I am playing so much that it affects RL I never come close to qualifying for any meaningful rank reward. There is no way anyone can qualify for these 4* every single time. Not only does it cost money for needing to buy units, but the time investment is insane.

A lot of the top guys pay other people to play for them. Just share their login info. It's quite possibly one of the lamest most pathetic things I've ever heard of.

They have this hidden policy where they only ban people who don't spend a lot of money on the game.

I think Kabam can find out when someone account shares and ban them, so I wouldn't think the elite arena winner would account share when he knows winning will put his activity under a microscope, but who knows. If it were a guy and his brother under the same roof though I'd believe that, seems likely imo.

Yep, with Kabam that might be true..

I've seen screenshots on Reddit of some of those guys discussing account sharing and their arena plans. So stupid.

Yea I saw that too

I can't imagine having to tell a guy to get off the bench because he's sitting there playing MCOC while I'm trying to lift lol.

 

[guitarmonkiy]

I'm starting to consider ranking up captain America instead of hulk. Hulk is really strong but I don't understand how to fight with him without taking a lot of damage. He gets his first hit blocked so often then they unleash their 5 hit combo. Anyone have any tips?

 

[woot]

I only have Hulk in 2*, back then he was one of my favorites. Very strong, attack from defense.

So block their attack, and strike hard when they are open. Imo he was too slow for dash attack play style.

I used to use his l2 after/during a combo. Man that does some nice damage

He is awesome for arenas and stuff, I never lose with him. The problem is I do take a good amount of damage which obviously isn't good for AQs. For now I'll practice your technique and try to get better with him. I'm much better with capt America which is the reason I'm temped to rank him up instead.

Do you also prefer playing with Cap? Just a matter of time before you dupe him, so the advantage you have with Hulk now will be gone in the (near) future.

Also, the game should be fun to play with your favorite characters. Personally, in this case i would go with the character you like most.

No way i would rank a duped Hulkbuster (if i even had him) to lvl 4 with all the tech ISO i had, before SIM, Ultron, Wolverine, Cap, Spiderman, etc etc.

I like playing with either, but I'd probably give the edge to Cap because I'm much better at winning a fight with little to no damage taken as his fight style is much smoother. I used to do pretty damn well with him in AQs before he was replaced with the good Doctor.ETA: They're also going to be making Cap better with the upcoming character changes.

Doc used to and sometimes still does win arenas.. I never got the sense he was the account sharing type, just a really hardcore gamer.

I think Kabam can find out when someone account shares and ban them, so I wouldn't think the elite arena winner would account share when he knows winning will put his activity under a microscope, but who knows. If it were a guy and his brother under the same roof though I'd believe that, seems likely imo.

-and technically that still would be account sharing/cheating

I don't think you guys realize how many points you can grind when you have a full team of 5/50's, not to mention the new masteries and boosts. For the most part all the crazy arena score guys drop a lot of units on refreshing their top teams. They can do 500k+ in an hour doing this. Those teams are winning in less than 10 hits and getting 35k points per match.

Only real account sharing that happens (that I'm aware of) is during alliance quests to move someone on the map to kill a booster or something along those lines.

But yea, some of the points you can grind with top teams is nuts if you are willing to just refresh them - which a lot of people are.

Nice ranking on the last arena doc. What kind of scores are needed in the class cat arenas to get those crystals? I'm guessing that's way out of reach for any of us.

 

[Beerguzzler]

Class cat arena is absurd. Need about 6 million in 2 days to win nowadays. Pretty much required to recharge a lot to make it.

I mainly just do Alliance quest nowadays and some arenas occasionally.

And that's just for a crystal that can end up being any class cat right? So you might literally have to do that arena 25 times before getting the 3 that you need? No thanks, that's nuts.

Yea, I do not doubt that. However if you do not have top teams, it is much more difficult. From my perspective way down at the bottom of the mountain, getting a champ to rank 5/50 is literally impossible

Not as much of a problem with Doc's crazy stacked team.

 

[TenTimes]

Agree with Dickies, it's really expensive to keep up with the arenas at this point, we're pretty far behind. We can grind out milestones while the lead pack keeps getting further and further ahead and I just don't see the point of that

The Alliance Quests are pretty much the only thing keeping me in the game at this point, and coincidentally about all I have time for anymore too, so to Kabam for that feature.

Don't worry, that alliance base is "coming soon"!

 

[casadilla]

Good point Ten. The AQ levels the playing field. You only need one strong team per player to keep up with stronger teams potentially. And it's not the grind of arena. Rewards are superior too. I just wish it were easier to get 30 people dedicated to it.

 

[Mr. Yuk]

My idea for AQ buddy system is up on the spreadsheet. Check it out and share any thoughts, additions, changes, etc. I think we could even run this tomorrow imo.

Spreadsheet

 

[Peak]

From an AQ perspective, I'm going to be out today. Today's the day for my son. 3 months after chest surgery and we're hoping the doc clears him to be a regular 9 year old again. I'll try to log in tonight after kids are in bed to catch up.

Can't access the spreadsheet from work and hard to read on my phone. I can help be the power guy and "bat cleanup" it looks like. I've almost got my other 4*'s up to 3/30 so I would have one of each class to pick from if needed. Ultron, Magik & Cap are in the 3.15~3.20 range level-wise.

Only issue is my availability is spotty sometimes (new wife keeps me very busy and doesn't like how much I play.)

I've got you as a group leader paired up with Wootwoot who is more active during (our) nighttime, being on the other side of the world and all. I'm going for trying to always have 1 of each pair semi-available, so if you are concerned about availability during the day we could switch things up if needed.

I have 0 interest in leading. I'm too sporadic, especially now that I have a part time job winning money in DFS.

Doc

Do you have any AQ tips for us?

Everyone's working on their top 3s and I think a majority of us are running 4* 3/30s, but it's actually getting harder to beat map 2 in the training bracket. Prestige is up to about 1750 now.

Are we supposed to be buying and using heals/revives to advance, or are we just not that good yet?

How do you guys choose your groupings?

When I got to streak like 16 I used my 3 that are almost maxed and was getting easy matchups
