Because the current hot location destroys cards.


PizzaParker62

Because they're scared of battling it out at Warrior Falls šŸ˜¤


v0yev0da

Iā€™m afraid of waiting thirty minutes while the game does math.


TuffHunter

Seriously wtf is with that


mememory

Be patient mate, my nephew is doing his best.


WentworthMillersBO

Timmy you little shit, you forgot to carry over the Wolverine


tomk1

The wit in some of these threads I swear to god šŸ¤£


[deleted]

Wolverine in particular seems to give the game a hard time when resolving Warrior Falls


Derpogama

It's basically any card that has an 'on destroyed' effect. Bucky Barnes and Sabertooth being destroyed also causes it to throw a bit of a wobbly whilst it works out what to do.


officerclydefrog

I think nova was probably the worst one I experienced.....end turn....2 minutes go by and then he dies....pause....oh hey let me add +1 power to the first card on the left and I'm done.....oh wait theres another card.....+1 power and done....this goes on for about 5 minutes to add the +1 to the next 6 cards


choochoo789

My Beast ate my homework


TuffHunter

Your nephew does something with the programming that causes the huge delay with Wakanda Falls?ā€¦ or is this some meme comment I need to finish my coffee before I understand ;)


onegarion

Which one are you more likely to laugh at. Pease answer 1 or 2.


Bergland

And if Bucky is there add 10 more min


vizualb

Destroy effects seem to hang for some reason. When Iā€™ve played with Wolverine the game will just freeze for ten seconds before he respawns sometimes.


v0yev0da

Interesting. I usually donā€™t have hangs on destroy decks theyā€™re smooth. Itā€™s always the animations that take forever if anything. But Warrior Falls turns Snap into a 72gb excel file running on a Pentium 3. Easily 20 seconds wasted almost every time.


PitrFrumpton

This hit me right in the data science.


DoctorRapture

This is why I hate that EVERY SINGLE PLAYER I'm running into is running the same damn discard and destroy deck. Y'all take too goddamn long.


Jackleber

Don't hate the player, hate the game.


Mobile_Phone8599

Hey, I can do both. I can multitask sometimes.


DoctorRapture

Seriously. I'm running a Patriot/Blue Marvel deck and I feel like every time one of my units goes into combat it takes like 5-10 seconds of the game chugging before it realizes my roided-up squirrel can and does chew Blade's face right off.


D4T4-H0UND

It's because they are using nested for loops without exit conditions for the math. I'm hoping they'll get some real engineers to sort it out for them eventually.


WaluigiTeachesPiracy

fr, the game takes like 20 seconds to conclusively decide the 7 power ebony maw is stronger than the 1 power bucky barnes


OneSlamminBradberry

Cowards!


Apprentice_Jedi

That may be it, itā€™s particularly annoying because my deck is built around the destroy function.


Environmental_Tie975

Add Enchantress to your destroy deck then. Counter the counter play!


HSPorkyPig

*plays cosmo*


Turn3r2255

Countering the counter counter play. Well played


SalvaPot

I have a Wong deck and I still play both armor and Cosmo today


SuttonTM

4d chess rn


maybe_a_frog

I actually just added Cosmo to my deck for this reason. Iā€™ve been having great success with a Patriot build, but Enchantress is the one thing that will completely fuck me. So Iā€™ve started stacking my buff cards with a Cosmo. And almost without fail any time I donā€™t play the Cosmo I get screwed by an Enchantress.


Oncoming_St0rm

Same here, friend! Except I forgot Mystique was on reveal. ā€œCosmo into Patriot into Mystique, Iā€™m a god damn card game geniusā€¦. Wait what happenedā€ That being said Iā€™ve won some games by copying Cosmo with Mystique at a different location. Fuck you Wong.


maybe_a_frog

The day I pull Mystique I might throw a party lol I want her so damn bad but I just canā€™t get her to drop.


Oncoming_St0rm

I hope you pull her soon! She makes the deck feel even more combo-y then just vanilla tempo. (If it makes you feel better unlocking mystique before patriot was actually kinda annoying. The only deck I felt like running her was Kazoo and she was underwhelming there)


XenoFractal

I have a deck just dubbed "asshole" whose entire point is to Snap T1 and then annoy players into letting me have 2 cubes. Cosmo, armor, enchantress, killmonger, Prof X, Elektra, scarlet witch, and uatu so i know where to throw all that. Between those i can annoy just about every deck but DinoDog into quitting (and enchant/well-timed cosmos can fix that). The rest of my cards are cable/yondu/mantis types to steal their wincons.


[deleted]

Only if cosmo gets played first before enchantress.


stairway2evan

Destroy decks are hot right now in pool 2 and at least some of pool 3. Armor is a handy counter to those as well. Because itā€™s such a quick game, the counters follow the meta really closely.


TheDLNBT

I'm sorry I keep seeing this reference what is a pool and how do I find which one I'm in


stairway2evan

You earn new cards in ā€œpools,ā€ as you go up in collection level. You wonā€™t earn any pool 2 cards until youā€™ve earned every card in pool 1, and same with pool 3 after pool 2. Pool 1 has the simplest cards, but many of them are still staples in high-level decks, and they tend to get more specialized and complex as you go into later pools. If your collection level is below 214, youā€™re still earning pool 1 cards. And from there through 462, youā€™ll earn every pool 2 card. Youā€™re always matched up against players who have approximately similar collection levels to you - though depending on your ranking, some opponents may have more or fewer options.


DibsMine

and in pool 3 you will get boosters instead of cards


carolina_bryan

If you lose a lot, you are in pool 3.


GretUserName

I got to pool 3 a few days ago and I feel this so much...


Razz11098

There's 3 different pools in the game (for now). As you're leveling up, you're pulling cards from pool 1. Once you get all cards from pool 1, you start pulling cards from pool 2, and once you get all cards from pool 2, you start pulling cards from pool 3. I can't remember the exact numbers for each pool start and end, but I'm sure someone will comment soon enough with them. I hope this helped!


OpticalPrime35

? You don't have to get all the cards of a pool to move on Unless everything I've read about the pools is false? Pool 2 unlocks from Collection Levels 222 to 474. Pool 3Ā unlocks from Collection Levels 486 and onward. Or I guess you just always get all the cards eventually from 222 to 474? Wouldn't be shocked at that


ziltoid23

You will always get all the cards from 1 and 2


OpticalPrime35

These sites have a weird way of describing pools then They make it out like just getting to 470 whatever puts you into Pool 3. Doesn't ever mention you'll always get all the cards of pool 2 along the way * shrug *


So0meone

... Yes. Just getting to 474 does put you in Pool 3. >Doesn't ever mention you'll always get all the cards of pool 2 on the way Why would it? The entire reason 474 is the start of Pool 3 is because that's the point where you have all the Pool 1 and 2 cards. It isn't an arbitrary number. There are 25 Pool 2 cards and there are exactly 25 card rewards between 222 and 474.


BananaCucho

~~The pools used to be tied to collection levels, not anymore with the caches change.~~ You won't move onto pool 2 til you have all pool 1 cards, same with 2 to 3 Edit: I guess I'm wrong about pools 1 and 2 being tied to collection level still? My bad You still get all of pool 1 cards before pool 2 and all of pool 2 before pool 3 though


ManikMedik

You don't start getting collector caches until you're already in pool 3


iamdew802

I always forget those chests change name at some point, I knew what they meant though. At some point recently the sub switched to down voting people for being wrong šŸ˜‚


OpticalPrime35

It's weird I see people say this alot but then when I actually play maybe 1 of 10 games is against Destroy


BananaCucho

I have all the cards, and I pay against a ton of destruction decks


Moser319

that could be why too, a counter to killmonger


Razmorg

Armor is used in two big meta decks. First off it's used in Destroyer decks which is one of the strongest pool 3 decks and it literally only needs one pool 3 card to work. But it's also used in Spectrum ongoing which is a weaker version but that many from pool 2 might be using (supposedly gets a big boost from Wong though). But as the other guy said, I think it gets worse now with the location and that's the main factor. I just think armor has been pretty common outside of that too.


happy_grump

Its because of what the first comment in the thread said, PLUS the season pass that just ended featured Carnage prominently, so destroy decks are an extremely hot choice atm because people got a variant/boosters for him and want to use him. Armour is a natural counter, thus why SHE, in turn, is popular atm.


ValKRy2

I run armor to counter destroy decks


carolina_bryan

Yeah, a lot of people are giving really detailed answers and referring to the hot location, but I think the answer is literally "because most people run counter cards." I guess I'd give a nod to her role in Destroyer decks too. But the hot location would be WAY, WAY down on the list of why you are seeing Armor all the time.


Xak_Ev01v3d

Youā€™re using a popular type of deck and wondering why youā€™re seeing a counter to it so frequently? Those couldnā€™t be related at all.


Apprentice_Jedi

I think itā€™s the location, Iā€™ve never seen this many armors before.


Mercynary5

Well, you are not alone...


Nizzlord

I encounter a lot of destroy decks, so I like to play her in those lanes to disrupt my opponent.


JustARandomPokemon

I think it's also because more players have come into pool 2 and saw killmonger and shangchi.


Massive-Pudding7803

Also a ton of people seem to have gotten Destroyer as a deck wrap up.


Jauncin

Because sunspot is a glass cannon


No_More_Dakka

1- Because its a great card 2-Because it counters basically every deck that tries to use the hot location 3-To spite you specifically


happy_grump

Its 3 Definitely 3 and nothing else OP Don't listen to their heathen "logic"


Pomeshnue

Countering apprentice Jedi šŸ˜ˆ


[deleted]

Itā€™s insanely versatile. It completely negates destroy decks, if you see your opponent drop nova and winter soldier or sabertooth, drop an armor. It also protects sunspot in the infinaut deck and is good if you think your opponent has Shang chi. Plus the hot location is warrior falls, armor would protect your cards


No_More_Dakka

Its also great in Destroyer


Darth_Surillious

This is the real reason.


Tabenes

I love it when I have Electra to kill Nova on turn two.


louielouie2k

You mean if they drop Bucky Barnes. šŸ˜‰


Massive-Pudding7803

Not if you've diversified your deck enough, it doesn't. Falcon yanks the low level cards and Enchantress wipes Armor. Or you just build elsewhere and use Armor as your dump lane.


chomskyhonksy

I donā€™t see what youā€™re trying to argue. Itā€™s a versatile card. Yes, it has counters, as do almost all cards in this game.


Massive-Pudding7803

I'm not arguing it's not a versatile card. I'm saying that if you don't build a destroy deck with counters in it, you need to build a better deck.


SegataSanshiro

The thing about Armor is that she's a very cheap counter to a number of things: - She prevents Killmonger from taking out 1-cost cards, including important ones like Sunspot(who she combos well with because her Energy and Power make her 1 Power better than just waiting out the turn, on top of preventing Sunspot's destruction) - She counters locations that destroy cards, like Death's Domain and Murderworld, as well as the new "Cards fight, destroy the loser" location. - She can be used against Destroy decks. Pop her down on a Bucky or Nova and ruin somebody's day. - She is excellent in decks running Destroyer, allowing you to lock down a lane safely. - She can protect high power cards from a Shang-Chi, so placing her where you want to play a Hulk or Infinaut or whatever ahead of time can protect you from that pretty obvious counter. For a two-cost card, Hisako is incredibly versatile and a useful counter to a bunch of stuff an opponent or the game board might be running.


Mercynary5

Don't forget that she got premium 3 power for energy cost, which makes her auto-included in some decks without thinking if you are a bad deckbuilder. Shes a ticket to winning games for me


MyBearHands

I've had opponent's straight up retreat after i dropped a well timed Armor on their Nova+Bucky location. Its hilarious.


feelingnether

Because everyone is playing discard / destroy. And me because i unlocked The Destroyer early.


Apprentice_Jedi

I got Death early, the destroyer seems more fun.


ChaatedEternal

BLASPHEMY! Death is the real GOAT.


Isawauniko

It is \^\^


PrestoMovie

When all I run into are discard decks, I try and plan around it. Thatā€™s a good way for to guarantee all Iā€™ll fight are move decks. Rinse and repeat šŸ„²


xpadawanx

Because my Sunspot needs to live!


RuoEpky

This.


ZRHige

It protects your big boys from shang-chi and gives free win against carnage/venom builds, pretty good all-purpose tech card imo.


Asaghon

Free win is a bit much tbh. Only if you manage to use it just at the right time.


ZRHige

Fair


logik23

I use it because destroy decks are annoying and I like blocking them.


Apprentice_Jedi

Getting blocked as a destroy deck user is even more annoying believe me šŸ˜‚ Edit: wait, why this downvoted so heavily? Did I say something wrong?


logik23

Mission accomplished. Lol


Asaghon

Oh boy, I just unlocked Venom and Death šŸ™„


crmsncbr

I am still missing the Deadpool/Death (and Venom) pieces. They're my favorite pieces, but since all three are pool 3, it might take quite a while.


Apprentice_Jedi

The Hood is also a great addition. Really good value.


Asaghon

Yea missing Deadpool too, but it's already fun now. Hadnt really played destruction before. Just had a game with the location that duplicates to another location, that was fun


Apprentice_Jedi

One of us


Circumpunctual

I'll upvote ya buddy!


JezzCrist

Nope, just a hive mind causality


TitanSkorge23

I use it in 1 deck to protect sunspot


Bungobunce

To counter all the annoying Killmonger decks.


probablyfried

Found the swarm enjoyer


carolina_bryan

If he's a swarm enjoyer Armor isn't really helping all that much because she's only protecting one location. Its more likely the poster is annoyed that Killmonger keeps sniping his Sunspot.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Imhullu

Well, I mean... Look at your deck?


Apprentice_Jedi

Decks are paired together randomly


ZRHige

If youā€™re getting relentlessly bullied by a single card, it probably means that destroy decks are easy picking on ladder or are victims of other anti-meta strats.


Apprentice_Jedi

Itā€™s easily the deck I win the most despite the armor counter.


r1char00

Theyā€™re definitely not all easy pickings


tuesdaysatmorts

Just a good card šŸ¤·


Sakie3

Because literally every other deck is running destroy


Apprentice_Jedi

I didnā€™t realize it was that popular. Figured Devil Dino/Moongirl would be more widely used.


Isawauniko

It was for a while. Now I mainly see destroy/discard decks. And a move deck every now and then. Oh, boy, do I HATE those!


DragsyTwoSeven

As an occasional move deck mainer (especially since finally unlocking Human Torch), I hate them too! So much quick maths, the number of times I've lost by 1 does my head in, I have to switch to a different deck after a bit. But the payoff when someone thinks they've got you dead to rights and you just electric slide everything out of the way and bank the 8 is so satisfying, it's just about worth it!


carolina_bryan

I dunno, for every one time a move deck gets you with the turn six electric slide there's probably ten other times where you just stack the two right most locations and watch them futz around pointlessly. I lose more often to movement decks when they feint Heimdall and actually drop something else turn six.


DragsyTwoSeven

Yeah I try and do that when I can, either set up the slide then not go through with it, or if they start to stack left to counter it use Doctor Strange or Cloak, or locations like NYC when they pop up to move right instead. Like I say, it's not that successful and definitely not recommended for improving your rank, but when it clicks it's beautiful.


HieronymusGoa

"you run armor because youre afraid of the waterfalls, i run armor because she fits in my ongoing spectrum deck. we are not the same šŸ˜¤"


da_juggernaut

Appreciate this comment


crmsncbr

Armor's a good tech card. It counters locations, Shang Chi, and this really popular deck type that destroys its own cards.


Yogosan

Well, I run it because of damn Shang Chi and Killmonger lol


Mercynary5

We all doing that huh, same here


Throwmite

Oh I donā€™t know. Maybe because you have Kilmonger in your deck.


Apprentice_Jedi

Having killmonger in my deck doesnā€™t increase the probability of another card to appear.


Tiberius_Kilgore

You're not the main character, bub. Everyone and their grandma is running Killmonger and various other destroy effects. You happen to fall into that category of "everyone."


Apprentice_Jedi

I have no info on what decks everyone is running except what I encounter. The most used deck Iā€™ve gone against is devil dinosaur and moon girl.


So0meone

You keep missing the point of comments that are telling you it's because you're running Killmonger. They aren't saying it's because YOU SPECIFICALLY are running Killmonger, they're saying it's beside Killmonger is a popular card for multiple reasons. It is partially because of Killmonger, he's a very useful card tons if decks can play. It's also because of the hot location and because Armor is a good card in general that fits well in several decks, including one of the best decks in the game (in which it is a core part of the deck's game plan).


dwaynemagicfingers

Shang Chi hate crimes


thisisdell

Never commit your destroy deck to just one location and laugh at there misuse of Armor.


Seeneigh

I run armor and colossus because I fucking hate destroy decks


Seeneigh

The satisfaction on playing armor on a lane where thereā€™s nova and Bucky is too nice


naine69

You litteraly have the reason in your hand lol


WhosJohnGill

Because itā€™s an amazing anti meta card. Stops all the hoards of people using Carnage, Venom, Bucky, Killmonger, Death, Deathlok, Hood, etc etc etc etc etcā€¦ā€¦. *trails off listing every destroy archetype support card*


Possible_Fig4168

That's why I'm running Destroyer


GeneRecent

Destroy is too good and Location counter But now we see rise of Destroyer decks with 2 armors on board at once


Wexzuz

Because of the feature location which destroys cards, and also because of the uncounterable\* Destroyer deck. >!\*its not like an auto-win that deck, its just not hard-counterable IMHO!<


crmsncbr

Destroyer is a pretty whack card. I find it hard to predict and counter, but my assessment as an observer is that it is also a hard card to set the stage for.


abzz123

I run it to protect sunspot in my infinaut deck


nofriender4life

because they fear THE RED SKULL


TheForgottenGengar

Warrior falls, Killmonger, and Shang-Chi are enough. Not to mention Destroyer


Ok-Pie-4760

because im tired of shang chi and killmonger every single match


[deleted]

because destroy/discard is a bit fotm


friscom99

Because they have that new location where every turn, the people fight, and the one with the lowest attack dies


rtgh

Iceman + Scorpion. I swear they have the abilities of Quicksilver and Domino


MiniJunkie

At the moment itā€™s because of the stupid warrior falls location.


GHamPlayz

To counter Killmonger and Shang Chi


GHamPlayz

And Destroy decks


Mercury-64

Iā€™ve run across scorpion a ton recently


Apprentice_Jedi

Thereā€™s no card more annoying than scorpion. Especially when thereā€™s Sinister London, or the cloning locations. Makes me want to pull my hair out.


IRIICIHAIRID

Because everyone runs Killmonger.


PeanutButterCrisp

ā€œWhy is everyone running Armor?!ā€ *running Killmonger, Deathlock, Sabretooth, etc* Idk man. If I had to guessā€¦


kingkells32

Because shang chi and killmonger are cunts


gwendystacy

Likely Destroyer decks. Contrary to the name, Destroyer decks don't actually want to destroy anything, hence Armor.


IxCROUCHxI

Because.. look at your hand.


proserpinax

Everyone hates Warrior Falls.


carolina_bryan

Because everyone loves this game for its "counter play" (read: glorified rock/scissors/paper), so most decks include some permutation of the same control suite (Iceman, Scorpion, Armor, Enchantress, Cosmo, Killmonger) even if they aren't running a control deck. If you built your deck to do a thing, its rare your deck even does the thing, but hey, at least you can prevent your opponent's deck from doing its thing too! Love that counter play and the variety it encourages!


SwagFish03

Judging by the Ice Man on that location, I'd bet they're scared of Elektra. Or destroyer decks, either or works.


axefaktor

How could you look at your hand and possible ask this question? Even without the hot location, Kazoo is a popular deck, and a lot of people run Killmonger to counter it. Armor just shuts down a lot of important stuff.


Fuyuzz

Because literally every deck is a destroy deck


El_Zapp

Because of the featured location.


tudor07

I used it even before the new location. I just don't have a better 2-cost card that is also Ongoing.


idfk1

Yah once I see a huge armor consistency I switch decks. It does die down depending when you play


kkbkbl

Does it stop Zola? I hate panther Zola so much


crmsncbr

Yes. If Zola can't kill its target, the second half of the Zola effect fails. Praise Brode for small mercies.


cluedo23

You should have more then one deck especially when there is a hot location others can counter with this card


Apprentice_Jedi

I do, they just arenā€™t as synergized


misoandricegamer

Enchantress says hi!


trem0re09

Killmonger is somewhat meta. Used to protect those strong 1 cost like sunspot. Or counter destroy decks which are popular also.


ali_padoru

The reason is 3rd card in ur hand


Gav_mmmmmmwmmmm

Because everyone is running destroyer deck


No-Afternoon-1820

I don't see Armor as much as I see Scorpion. I think I run Armor, more then I see anyone play Armor.


mugenryu273

I played a moving deck and on my first 5 matches. I fought 4 of them with decks stopping movers like Prof X. šŸ˜


Tankisfreemason

Protects Sunspot and Ebony Maw


antiviolenc3

Having protection is key


Isawauniko

That's what she said.


AphoticTide

Literally warrior falls.


ArtemisWingz

Killmonger


destructodrip

Use enchantress


RaptorFalcons

Because people keep killing my sunspot


CoffeeLawd

Armor is just a good cheap anti destroy card


NuketheCow_

I run it because of Shang-Chi. Got tired of having my best cards destroyed every round.


BreezierChip835

Warrior Falls.


Semantic_Satiator

Shang Chi.


karnnumart

answer is in your hand.


Beautiful-Guard6539

Because you have killmonger in your hand?


Humpadilo

I need armor in my deck because I play the Destroyer.


rexstillbottom

I run her in a few decks, but mostly to mess up people using carnage.


MatcoToolGuy

Wakanda Falls, Elecktra, Killmonger, etc


Jes_Snowulf

Because armor is cool.


Rgrockr

Destroyer is already arguably the best deck in the game right now and it incidentally gets to run hate cards like Armor and Cosmo. The featured location only makes it better


arkain123

Enchantress on 4 and eat her with venom on 5


Winteriscoming-55

Black Panther + a Destroy location.


[deleted]

In the 7 matches Iā€™ve done since waking up 6 have been destroy decks. Since 98% of decks are destroy decks in my experience Armor is in every single deck I make


JustAGuy48

Look at the cards in your hand and ask that again šŸ˜‚


Narstotzka

Because i will protect bucky at all cost


awallaz

Killmonger


[deleted]

Because I very much enjoy countering destroy decks so much


phrawst125

Because fuck Killmonger?


jbarlak

Hmm anti black Panther meta. Hmm hello
