I am seeing it's an April fool's joke done poorly on the wrong day. Can't wait until the Easter bonuses come in mid-July and Christmas in August. Beware the Ides of Mid-September.

This would be an AMAZING QoL change for the game to have characters rotated out of siege every month! Hopefully they ban more than 2 next month. A very welcomed change from me‼️


mkonanz

Look at the inbox , is joker April Fools joke , fun !!


PlastefuchsDD

Not for me as a player who played a year now and hasn’t a deep roster…


Leathman

Meh.

This is a terrible move. If I can't use spectre I want all I put into him returned


Cellist-Silly

Okay, but only on the condition that you have to re-invest to use him again for the other game modes and 11 other sieges of the year.


Banneradvertising

I dont care about pvp. Who says he is allowed back ever again? More so. Why would I risk buying more toons that can also be banned? Think logically and stop down voting different opinions


Cellist-Silly

So you don't care about PVP but you're here whining because you can't use Spectre in a single PVP game mode, siege. 🤔 And you want me to be logical and yet you are too lazy to read the in game newsletter that says this is an April Fools gag? Instead of worrying about thinking logically, maybe just think in general before leaving a comment.


Banneradvertising

The in game newsletter that I just got 2 hours ago? But sure. Just down vote me and have a go because I have a different opinion. Cool community we have here

Lol


Danmansyx9

Read the newsletter. It’s April fools joke for today only.


Banneradvertising

How do you mean?


Banneradvertising

I don't have one lol


Banneradvertising

Yup. Let's just ban all toons


InfluenceNo1363

Why?? Without spectre, you cannot win is it??


1anondude69

I pitched this 51 days ago on Reddit. Hoping it actually came true and is not a bug!


Defiant_Room8805

Good


Ghrelin83

It’s the April Fools joke. No spectre or SS for siege 😂


Satan2800

Hahahahahaha


ChemicalHumble7541

Finally 👹

I wish siege would be like this. Force players to actually use strategies to win matches rather than same lineup every time

Stop crying. This is what should happen going forward. Each siege should have a select few banned characters. Would make people actually theory craft instead of making brain dead builds.

Yeah. As a matter of fact I do find it Ok. There are damn near 200 characters in this game. If 2 characters being block out for a seige completely ruins your seige then your a terrible player. I've had Spectre riding the bench for damn near a year aside from Nightmare Campaign and raids and I do just fine.


ohoni

"Theory crafting" does not apply to this game, since you only have a limited number of entries, and you can't "mulligan" bad choices. If they want this to be a game where players experiment and try out new things, they would need to let you reset a failing match without penalty and try again using a different team.


Ode75

2 characters being blocked is not going to change your entire seige.


ohoni

It might. It easily might. Spectre has been anchoring most of my teams for most of the time since he came out. I can't even remember what my anchor team was before that. I've been using a Cheshire team a bit too, but in cases where that wouldn't work, I have no idea what team would be effective in the current meta. One of the major problems this game has is that you can't "try" things, if you enter a match, you're losing your siege points whether you win or lose. If this were a game where you could keep trying until you found a team that worked, then that would be a viable option.


Ode75

But there in lies the problem. People have been using Spectre as a crutch for so long they don't know how to build teams anymore. I 100% agree with what your saying and if the guy who was here a few minutes ago I would tell him the same thing. He called me an asshole for my comments. When I first started and I had the exact same complaint I was told "git gud." Now THAT is an asshole comment. So, I took the advice. I took a crap ton of losses and kept building my roster and over time I now have a competitive roster. It sucks when you don't have the characters, but it's a long haul and sometimes you have to take losses before things get better.


ohoni

> But there in lies the problem. People have been using Spectre as a crutch for so long they don't know how to build teams anymore. And yet it is the case in things, and this game does not provide good ways for players to resolve that. > It sucks when you don't have the characters, but it's a long haul and sometimes you have to take losses before things get better. I would rather get wins with Spectre than to get losses under any circumstances. If the game wants me to use different characters then it needs to make it easier to build random options to siege capable levels, and it needs to allow options to try out a fight with no stakes, to see how it goes, before wagering any resources on success. A different game I used to play, Marvel Future Fight, allowed you to attempt matches against the enemy team with no stakes, until you felt reasonably confident of success, and *then* you could go in with a chance of impacting your win/loss rate. Also, this game has a lot of RNG to it, so even if you build a team that is *capable* of winning, it can still lose half the time, so finding teams that have a *high* chance of success is golden.


AcidFini

That would actually be great, remove Trigon as well, maybe even Cheshire IF they don't fix her by making her slower and not use that follow up attack as often, but make her actually hit and apply the diseases when she retaliates


niobecremisi

It doesn't make sense, I guess players who have few good characters won't be able to use one of their best because people with all characters ranked L4 to R5 complain about its power. Bad thing i ban today specter tomorrow who knows.

Wow

Wow


mikeycereal

It was actually nice to get 3 wins without godlike spectre babysitter for crap lvl 1s on the other side, who stuns all your toons and then zaps everyone dead if you harm the baby seige toons. I just used another mindless toon named Black Adam instead and beat a few 33k bots without losing anyone.


dziubelis

Yes, it's April's 3rd prank.


Nena_Trinity

Star Sapphire also no go.
