u/kresher94 held an event where he picked his favorite vanguard clip to gift a skin and I was lucky enough to be chosen (for a Thor clip) and gifted a skin of my choosing (blurred his username to keep it private tho, but it was indeed him). I was also fortunate enough to get MVP on my first game with it. One thing that I didn’t realize about this skin that I love too is the sound you make when Storm Surging.

Just wanna make an appreciation post for u/kresher94 being so kind to hold a fun event and gift a skin at his own expense.

Two things I’d like to note, for the Thunderous Leap Red Hulk will not be able to knock down fliers like normal Hulk, and he will not transform into a different character model for Blazing Beast (so hopefully he would actually get skins).

And yes, I know the art is amazing.

We’ve played a samurai becoming a shinobi already, so playing the opposite would be interesting. Maybe the Ghost is faced with a threat too great to face alone, so they have to learn how to fight with honor to inspire an army to follow them.

I’m deadass seeing people say he should be a duelist just because of his god butcher title while ignoring his abilities, strengths, and character.

If you go by his abilities (like you should), he’s a massive extremely durable (tanked the sun and a blast that sent him lightyears away) alien god that creates armor for himself to battle.

If you go by his character (main argument I’ve seen), he should also be a vanguard. I’m seeing people say he should be a tank buster duelist since he wants to kill gods, but if you go by that he should be a tank buster tank since he wants to kills gods as he becomes a god himself (and he knows it but refuses to accept it).

I know I probably should’ve gotten this sooner (due to creating this sub and only just know getting Devil Dino to lord), but I’ve finally gotten some consistent free time and finished up the final few levels to lord. He’s been super fun so far and I can’t wait to continue using him. And yes, I still haven’t gotten a single MVP even after lording him.

Ignore that ult cancel from Mantis.

Credit and thanks to u/ColdSt0rm for making this new user flair and all the user flairs in the sub.

Ignore the amazing MS Paint quality art.

Gorr the God Butcher is such a vanguard coded character that it would be dumb to make him anything else. If they want a sadist villain duelist just add someone like Carnage, but don’t turn a vanguard coded character into a duelist when there’s more duelist in the game than vanguards and strategists combined (excluding Deadpools). It seems like a waste to turn characters that shouldn’t be duelists into duelists when we have so many and when there’s so many characters that actually fit the role already.

Again, Gorr is huge, is extremely durable and physically powerful, would be a melee god (the only other characters like this are tanks), and he has an armored form. Gorr the God Butcher should be a vanguard (granted a high damage one like Thor or Devil Dinosaur, but still a vanguard).

I’ve never argued for vanguard Cyclops because his powers just don’t fit the role, but for a character like Gorr they do. He’s my favorite comic villain so I’m happy he’s coming, but I feel like he isn't being done justice if he’s not a vanguard.

For those concerned about the role distribution, duelists should anyways be getting less to start evening out the amount of characters per role, but we anyways still got a duelist in Season 8.5. The next duelist can come Season 10.5 (after Gorr) or in Season 11.0 (we went two seasons without any new strategist back in Seasons 3 & 4 so we can go two without a duelist for Seasons 9 & 10). Imo Season 10.0 with vanguard Gorr followed by a duelist or strategist (probably duelist) then a duelist or strategist (probably strategist) would be the best way to do this.

TLDR: Gorr’s powers make him to be a vanguard, so making him a duelist based off of personality or need for the role is dumb. If characters’ roles are based off of personalities and need for a role Cyclops should've been a vanguard (something I’ve argued against). Especially when there’s more duelists than vanguards and strategists combined (excluding Deadpools), and when there’s so many duelist coded characters in comics (like Carnage for instance) that they could use instead of turning a vanguard coded character into a duelist.

I just want my favorite villain done right.

This megathread is where all “stolen MVP” and “why didn’t I get MVP” type posts will be from now on due to the overabundance of those type of posts.

Any post about not getting MVP and showing the stats will be removed and recommended to comment here. This new rule was voted on by the community after repeatedly asking for a megathread.
