Best Friends Forever - Dec 14 - 17

I'm about to champ KP, so I'm thinking: ?

Will give it a go and see how they perform. Rainbow, overlap in yellow/green powers. Slow, but high health. Beast blue can support KP black for cheap attacks. Thing as tank / nuke.

Edit: I'm an idiot. Forgot it's only 2. Will run Beast/PX for fun. A couple blues then buff city.

Also KP/Thing.

Using Miles / PX. The invis/stun combo takes almost no damage. Match-5 and Surprise both do 10k+ dmg. boosted.

Not to mentioned it's super annoying to fight against.

There are a lot of Kingpin/Thing teams out there today.
Being one of them, I broke the 900 point mark with 2 days 40 minutes to go. There are points to be had. Falling point store open for business.

first - congrats, that was fast!

second - how?
your last... 10 or something? matches couldnt be worth much - did you play that many matches or how else did you get to 900 that early?

I had the time and the health packs (though I was lucky and pulled 5 to keep me going from today's taco) so I played a load of 15-20 point matches after I got over 750. Since I wasn't worried about holding that score this early on, I just hit whoever was there (there may have been a few double taps), and if they want to retaliate, crack on!

But the PVP still doesn’t make sense unless they lock specific pairs. In the meantime I’m just going to pretend there was some lost Frank Miller comic from the 80’s, retconned to where Kingpin contracted the brainwashed Winter Soldier to kill Daredevil.

The way I see it is Thing has some kind of mind control device on him to do Kingpin's bidding, who is telling Thing how effective an enforcer he is and that he should have made him one a long time ago. Poor old Ben grits his teeth waiting for a chance for the mind control to break.

The PVP nobody wanted to see again, with exactly the same nonsensical match-ups.

Woot?

They definitely reworked matchmaking. I saw tons of double champed 4*s still when I don't have any of the boosted 4* list champed myself, but I wasn't seeing rampant champed 5*s like I did last time.

I managed to muscle to 900 points early and grab a cover I needed to make 4clops my 9th 4* champ using 4/2/5 level 229 Winter Soldier and IM40. Bucky is a monster when he's boosted; I really like him after playing him for his Crash and in this event. It was over 19k for a single fire of his red if I matched it, and still 13k if the CD resolved. Purple is a fun utility/strategic denial/small cascade potential power, too. At 2 covers, his blue is underwhelming, but surprisingly I had little difficulty getting to the 900 points.

This event also showed me one of my next hopeful pairings... Kate/IF. I took on one of those teams thinking I could hopefully down Kate quick enough, and boy was I wrong. She one-shotted both Buck and IM with her black courtesy of IF... Mine is 4/3/5, so she's close...

I thought this version of BFF was a lot better than the anniversary version. I was getting matched with ridiculous teams in the anniversary, way out of my weight class. This time I was seeing similar rosters to my own, and I felt like there was definite strategy involved with team selection.
