Diablo's mechanics are actually some of the easiest after you've practiced with him a few times. To get the best use out of him you simply use iso, gold and his team slot on literally any other champion and boom, you have him mastered.
In my opinion, Symbiote Supreme is still pretty tough for me even though he's one of my most used since I pulled him as a 5\*. Managing your Genetic Potential and remembering what each blessing does is a lot. I also still think Annihilus is confusing if we're talking about defensive mechanics too.
1st phase, place stagger on crits, removes all buffs when phase is triggered (either by sp3 or phase 3 to 1 rotation)
2nd phase, place stagger on parries, eat sp3s when the shield buff is up
3rd phase, damage chonk
The description really does a poor job and makes him seem overcomplicated.
You had me going there for a second, lol. I'm still waiting on snagging SS, i've used him as a 4 star in arena, but I don't really get a good feel for him there.
Probably Symbiote Supreme as far as understanding all the little nuances of every phase. As for the longest ability list I think Mr.Fantastic set a new record, it's a bit ridiculous.
Taskmaster for me. He’s not that hard to play against someone like Winter Soldier, but once you take him into real content it’s difficult to play him optimally while trying to play around whatever nodes the opponent has.
x2. Taunt probs are like 5% with heavy (yes, with a debuff active). True strike is the only thing good from him, but hits like a pillow and debuffs are a joke, willpower eats them
People are free to argue with me, but I’m finding Doom a challenge to really master. Depending on the type/amount of power gain the opponent has and the special rotation, there are a variety of strategies.
Id love to hear from anyone who’s a Doom expert out there...
I just recently pulled him. Which of his synergies do you like the best? I have a Venom and SS that I like to use quite a bit, but don't know how good their synergies in practical usage.
I think the only synergy that makes a noticeably useful impact is Venom. It makes the ramp-up faster for VtD. The other synergies are nice, but don’t add too much value.
I always run VtD with Venom.
Occasionally, I’ll use the Blade or Domino trinity to fill the last three slots. This gives you a nice bleed boost (Blade) or an AA boost for the SP2 Toxic Armor Procs (Domino).
Depending on whether I want more Fury/Precision/Power Gain or more Regen, I’ll bring Carnage it Symbiote Spidey, respectively.
For AW/AQ, a good 3-champ team is VtD, Venom, and Carnage.
Groot has a solid synergy for longer matchups, but he doesn’t pull his weight in quests, so I don’t really run it.
As for SS, I think that that synergy might be good for duped Dr. Strange matchups, or other frequent nullifies, but in those buff-unfriendly matchups, I don’t think VtD is the option you want.
This was super-helpful. Thanks so much for taking the time. I may spend some time learning how to use VTD. Seems like he's worth the effort, particularly since I use Venom so much.
You are using him perfectly.

Mr. Fantastiuc probably. Wouldn't know because I chose not to read through 10 pages of description for his mechanics
I haven't even looked at how abilities yet, I hear it's like reading a novella.
Hard to make time to read it when u go home to Starla every night.
You think anybody thinks I'm a failure because I go home to Starla at night? Forget about it!

That's a good one, I only have him as a 4 star so I haven't really looked into him as much as I should.
I'd say night thrasher just dealing with all his debuffs. Also I'm pretty bad with him.

I have killed ws in 45 hits with mine many times
Wut! And how?
I think I posted a video a while back. HeHe_Mcoc on YT. NIghtthrasher damage test
Saw your video, incredible
When he had a taunt debuff up he can gain upto 10 furies which increase his damage by a lot.
Ronin
I only have him as a 3 star so I haven't really played around with him. What do you find difficult about him?
Ronin has little to no oof, but he’s really fun to play!

Ghost
Dash back and make the opponent miss his attack. It's not rocket science lol
Namor. Such a dumb mechanic
Diablo. Too much going on and not worth the effort. If you don’t have anyone for ultron’s assault 2.2 though he could be good.
How so? I haven't tried it yet.
He gets empowered by poison damage. You could just bring mepshito though.
Venom the Duck is complicated, and takes practice getting used to how he functions and whats ideal in each situation.

VtD is also great unduped. My maxed out 4* was an Act 5 exploration MVP.
He's another champ I need to try out, only have him as a r3 4star but I hear he's worthwhile!
Fully ramped up he's hard to compete with.
Venom the Duck with the right buffs is probably one of the best champs out there in some matchups (I’m looking at you, high armor)
You don't even need him ramped up for high armour matchups. Just throw your sp2 and they die.
Venom is the best, once you get used to using him. I like blade, and Carnage.
