They've been doing magneto dirty

[Nicostromo]

His new team up ability is a downgrade, no one is fooled by the AI behavior of the hologram

his movement is slow and clunky like walking through deep sand, making retreating much more difficult if a fight goes sideways.

his shield depletes too fast and takes too long to regenerate

his fire rate is too slow and the mid range mechanics make him easy prey for brawlers and snipers

His ultimate ability is a joke, relying on people to shoot at him to power it up (people aren't that dumb) otherwise its a wet fart. And it can be "overloaded" easily if shot at too quickly, not to mention the ult projectile itself is pretty slow.

He is completely dependent on his team and the way I see it, his only positives are : bubbling a diver, his semi large health pool, and the ability to draw fire for a couple seconds when he ults. Otherwise the enemy team almost completely ignores magneto in a fight because he is just a big buzzing mosquito who rolls over dead without a heal bot on him.

Potential fix : Increase movement speed, or increase fire rate, increase shield duration by 2 seconds, INCREASE SOMETHING. I'm especially surprised this didnt happen with the addition of "The Thing" who destroys shield comps.

Please respond with : "skill/personal issue", "bad take" all you want. The truth is i'm correct and magneto needs SOME LEVEL OF BUFFING not the dirt-tier sideline treatment he is currently getting.

the only thing Magneto's Ult is good for is laughing at the Iron Man rage quitting by making the pulse cannon obsolete.

Also, who thought it was a good idea to give a poke tank a team up with another poke tank. (Sure the Diamond form makes Emma Frost a little less pokey, but honestly doubt we'll see the team-up used once we get further into the season).

[Jinshushei]

honestly, i agree. this team-up is quite useless and might only fool bronze players. his team-up prior is what made him stand out from the rest of the tanks and be strong, now he's generally a worthy pick comparatively.

I guess you guys arent watching any high skill Magneto's? let alone played with or against them, Magneto ult is literally one of the best in higher ranks as it can one shot Luna, C&d, mantis and Invis out of their ult, and instantly end it, not sure what you're using it for yourselves

[AFoxButPurple]

Magneto is an S tier tank, along with groot, the thing and strange, although strange is barely s tier anymore, the new team up isnt to fool people into shooting the double, he can literally shoot twice the projectiles with it and double shield

This may be a hot take, but if the only time a character is playable is when you're a top level competitor, then it's not a good character.

that's like waiting 5 seasons for a TV show to get good.

So his ult has the capability of being a good counter, but there is a never ending list of ways to easily avoid it, or block it.

[AFoxButPurple]

Im not saying the character gets good in higher ranks, its just that lower rank magneto's think they're throwing nukes and are less informed about how it could be used better.

also about the ways it can be countered, yes? and ult can be countered, so can other ults, jeff ult can be blocked by walls and los, hela can be hard counterd by strange holding right click, bucky ult is really strong but can be countered by shields and not bunching up as much.

Ults are there to find a work around for, Luna, mantis and all the other "everyone is invincible now" ults are hard countered by magneto, the ults so many people have been complaining about, a good magneto can easily kill a punisher ult by immediately releasing it, making it charged up without overload, i dont wanna say anyone has a skill issue, but maybe you didnt know how you can utilize it properly yet

[Karnarax]

And yet he is still S tier along with Groot

[AFoxButPurple]

Magneto is one of those tanks that don't play Flashy, your ult and or abillities may not look extremely cool, but if used right have massive game impact, bubbling ulting or diving team mates which can end up wiping the whole team when they otherwise would get shot down, ulting star lord, wanda, hell even bucky if focused can be shut down mit ult, give them a neto bubble and you're helping them incredibly much by keeping them alive for another 3-4 seconds

Bronze thread. I agree the team up is a downgrade for Magneto, but his old teamup has nothing to do with how good he is. At high ranks we never even cared because SW was ass.

This is laughably wrong. His ult eats everything, meaning some of the most powerful ults in the game and I am not talking about Iron Man's gimmicky ult but Star Lord's. You can then just slam it onto a healer for a free kill with the potential of killing bystanders. It is ridiculously strong.

Not that it matters but I was GM (almost celestial before new season), I would think that holds some merit over "bronze". You not only showed us you are the least intelligent person in a room full of people, but also a child. Cheers.
