Could we ever fill a team of six characters that are officially "The __________"?

2-2-2 seems like hardmode, but anyone really

So I'm busy learning new characters and stuff, next thing I know, out of nowhere Guang Guang is like HERE BABYGIRL PUT THIS ON, and I suddenly get this gorgeous Storm skin (that everybody else had two weeks into the game first dropping), as a reward for being open minded.

This is like learning the payload heals you.

I'm still going team bear because hairy tummies are cute <3

GOLD III STRUGGLE TIME!

Back down in the trenches again, but this time I started the season at Silver 1 instead of Bronze 4 as usual. So I'm thinking, dis gonna be a breeze!

Tell me why I get paired with the worst teams imaginable, like literally running and crying. Such awful demoralizing losses in a row. I slip down to low Silver 2 and decide to take a break before I eat my computer. Like, I can't go back to Bronze - Please Guang Guang, I just can't do it.

So I pop over to Vs. AI because it's chill, and I can work on the new characters I'm slowly learning. I was learning other tanks for a bit, but also tried White Fox and omg she is amazing. After spending so much time on Thing and begging supports to push up, work with me, and help brawl in the front lines, it was so incredible to play a brawly support that synergizes with yolo aggression.

If any of you play Thing or White Fox, please spend time with the other character to understand what they need and how they think because they are actually incredible frontline fuckbuddies.

After some confidence boost against bots, I dip back into competitive and play support White Fox and am winning. One particularly GOOD GAME was with a Thing and Dino and it was so fun to enable those boys to romp around like toddlers on sugar. I could tell what the Thing needed and was there with him to give him somebody to hop back to, or step in and ult when it got iffy. WF can really box!

ANYWAY, I get to the rank up game, and I just KNOW Guang Guang is going to pull some shit. Sure enough, right there in spawn room we get a Venom and then a Punisher going third DPS. (Like why is it always the DPS tho?) Enough of us cry about it for the Punisher to feel bad and go Groot. To be fair, he was a terrible Groot, and we lost the first round. This was also because the enemy team had an unchecked Wanda and a Namor (NOBODY was shooting his turrets). I tried to, but taking my eyes off the front line did not work.

Second round I offer to switch to tank if somebody else heals. We juggle around, I hop onto Thing, and our Groot is finally able to go Punisher like he wanted. We get staggered because there is no team cohesion yet, and our Punisher despairs and clicks for a surrender(!) LOL NO. Instead, I tell him to focus only on Wanda, Namor and turrets - not their tank, nothing else, etc. (I dunno if that was good advice or not, but bro just needed a clear task.)

Somebody else takes over White Fox, I keep an eye out for our Punisher and peel for him specifically since our supports could take care of themselves. He does his job and forces Namor and Wanda to switch. I save him a few times and that felt good. Our Strange hits a good ult, we win, then we win again.

GOLD III again <3 (I forgot to capture the rank up, I was excited.)

This seems like the same story as last time, and in some ways it is: I am playing more characters than my main, and also not giving up and working together to turn a loss around. If you look at the stats on the scoreboard, the other team was individually better than us, but we worked together and played the objective. Everybody should play some tank, imo.

Here is the link to the post. I have no idea what is going on.

Y'all! I don't know about you, but this season has been great and I've been trying stuff I wouldn't have considered before. Are you all exploring new characters? I was already branching out to playing other tanks and enjoying Mag and Strange, but I have now been playing more White Fox, Storm and Black Widow. I DIDN"T KNOW IT WAS SO FUN 😭😭😭

Not only that, but the Thing team-up powers are incredible. GUANG GUANG I"M A MARRIED MAN PLEASE.

A party of veteran level 20 adventurers. They’ve been through it all together.

• Clubs, the bold fighter. She will tell you that she has killed six dragons, though the truth is five and a drake. Facing her own mortality, she has aspirations of a second career as a cleric late in life, though finds it hard to fully commit to the restraints of faith and temperance.
• Spades, the keen ranger. She is an elf and still in her relative youth compared to the others. Though disciplined and typically the leader in tactical situations, she is still baffled by non-combat interactions. She’ll stay with the party until the last has died of old age before returning to her people.
• Diamonds, the scrappy bard. Due to a bad bargain, he is cursed to prosper only when performing songs he did not write. He feels highs and lows deeply, and has crushed on the others several times over the years.  He is privately frustrated that Hearts has more natural charisma.
• Hearts, the magic-user. He has mastered many schools of magic, and makes everything seem effortless. Gracious and optimistic, he is the party’s default pack mule, keeping everything in a tidy Bag of Holding. He often functions as a deus ex machina but is humble about it.
