Yeah, what do you expect?... That's how you fight against a literally over-powered realm of legends winter soldier genius.. LOL, that too with a 4* champ...There are literally no other champ (In 4* rarity) or known buff that can make this easier that it already is.
@@CG-ej8nu you said no other 4 star could do better and that was a false statement sir. Ebony maw is one of the many average champs you speak of....he sucks. There's nothing to debate
Great analysis of post-balance Maw! Even though it seems like he (still) doesn't stick the landing, I really appreciate your"Moneyball" approach to finding value in champions.
TLDR: Miss mechanics + Champion category 1) Miss I've been using Ebony Maw in arena. I expect to lose all fights with him. (I'm not the best player). BUT... Occasionally, Ebony Maw dominates the fight. The fight is quick and decisive. I was pretty stunned when it happened... So didn't notice what champ I was fighting. I was just shocked. I started yo pay attention, and noticed when I fought Corvus Glaive, Corvus could not hit Ebony Maw. Ever. (Not quite true I found as time went on). The key is Ebony Maw's description: Ebony Maw converts guaranteed critical hits to misses. Corvus gets guaranteed hits with his Glaive charges. Since his misses Maw, his Glaive charges are not deleted by attempts. Which means he can't hit Maw. I played around with this in arena and started to take screen shots, and somehow Corvus landed a hit. (Lining up an Ebony Maw- Corus Glaive match using arena is a very clumsy tool) 2) champion category Why does everyone ignore the champion category provided by Kabam in the description details? It seems most reviewers go on about attack and defense. Specific nodes. That's it. The description informs us as to the designed roles for the champion. Where the champion should shine. Tank (can take more damage than baseline), control counter (prevents opponents powers), damage over time (lower damage, but sustainable) etc... Kabam conceives the mechanics of champion abilities from the mission statements. It's the cornerstone of design.
Just fyi, corvus glaive’s first light attack does not crit, as he throws a punch instead of using his glaive. That’s why he could still hit you sometimes.
@@khalnayak9674 act 6 with 650,000 rating. What else you got? Dorm is a solid champion used him a lot for variant 2. He's better than a lot of other mystic champions that's for sure. This game is about more than just doing big dmg.
I had a 5* mystic gem and I pulled maw a month back The news of buff made me elated Turns out he is still garbage And guess what Yesterday from my 4th ever 6* crystal I got maw Useless junkie crap invading my account in all forms
Dormammu has better power control, in my opinion. Parry, heavy, then spam mediums until imbued effect, then throw sp2. Besides someone like Hulkbuster or Dr. Voodoo
Do yo I think he could heavy spam in al or nothing matchups? Like that 100%, reliable power drain will keep them locked down, kinda depends on the animation
Key five words in this entire thing............ "Unless I make a mistake." - So yeah.... take this guy into any Variant, Act 6 or even Uncollected Monthly quest.......... zero use.
Dig it, lots and lots of effort, but who knows maybe one day this will be the answer to some super frustrating node and or the evidence needed to show ebony maw needs just a touch more love.
Cool, now just do a special 3 one hundred times and after 4000 hits youll have a win. Great buff guys

@@CG-ej8nu there's at least 20 God tier champs that can take out winter soldier in around 100 hits as a 4 star
@@bobbyb4638 Im not saying that ebony is god-tier, but at least he's much better than average champs.

so maw versus abyss collector one-shot coming up?
XD
This ebony maw should be at least god tier for what he did in the marvel movies. So underrated
He could do some damage to thanos in the movies
@@ClumsyShoulders but thanos sucks so like it is balanced 😂
The juice isn't worth the squeeze.
Top boy reference lol
Disappointed on this one, looks like I still don't have a mystic worth ranking up :(
wait til feb 25 dr. doom coming to basic. can't wait to get my hands on that boi
What's wrong with Claire tho
that will all change once mojo and longshot are released
Only one way to go from here

he destroys hyperion in that XL Variant 1.1 btw and does alot of damage on that same path!
Hey Grant!!! I haven’t touched MCOC in a year or two. I really miss your vids too. I think imma get back into it
Don’t !!!Ruuuuuuunnnn!!!!
No don't that's a terrible idea
Don’t ever think about it.
Don’t
Wait why shouldn’t he
Awesome video, maw was my first 6 star and he just kinda sits there, now that I know this he I might use him
He'd be a great choice in the Abyss using that ability, if he hit a lot harder.

Riley Benson Thank you! Now I understand better.
I still think Dorm is the best power control champ in the game and nobody ever mentions him when talking about power control.
He's a wet noodle
@@jayedjoy not if you cycle his heavies properly.
LOL where the heck r u at ?
Act 3 ?

Nah, magik is even better!
One sp2 and the opponent wont gain power for the rest of the fight!
With the power control given to Doom... Maw can forget being useful forever :D
Ok.... so are we all going to ignore the part of him literally rapping the first 5 secs?
Loving the vids beaver 🥰
I had a 5* mystic gem and I pulled maw a month back
The news of buff made me elated
Turns out he is still garbage
And guess what
Yesterday from my 4th ever 6* crystal
I got maw
Useless junkie crap invading my account in all forms
At least it’s maw and he can defend I got 6* og Ironman yesterday
Dormammu has better power control, in my opinion. Parry, heavy, then spam mediums until imbued effect, then throw sp2. Besides someone like Hulkbuster or Dr. Voodoo
Subtitles saying Ebony Mom 😂😂😂
Nice vid , as always
No bad, only thing I don't like is u need to parry and heavy part. If there's limber node, u can't do that.
Wayne Yap you don’t have to parry if they are against a wall...
I just came on this video to let you know i only use ebony for 9% attack inc syn with falcon and i love falcon now
Could you please try in variant 3 or something in double power gain opponents? Such as hyp?
nice. I still see Magik and Doom better power steal champs.
Lol. Only fights I can think at the moment is havoc, Korg and that’s it.
Do yo I think he could heavy spam in al or nothing matchups? Like that 100%, reliable power drain will keep them locked down, kinda depends on the animation
For power control, Doom>Maw any day
Maw is still a noodle, instead of a wet noodle, he is now a soggy noodle
I feel like thats too much work just to keep winter soldier from gaining power. I’d rather use pyslocke instead
Could maw be useful against spite and all or nothing nodes?
Did you watch the video? He literally mentions that
Random Guy for 1 i posted the comment before i got that far and 2. He mentioned all or nothing he didn’t say anything about spite
@@ghostjr.5950 yeah he only mentioned all or nothing nodes
Test him against Hyperion
While you do that ima just go 100% some quests faster without ever seeing a special with my 3 star quake.
Can we use him for imiw synergy
have you tried pinning him to the wall, not letting him get up by spamming heavy?
Pretty sure that's what he wanted to hint at in this video but didn't show it directly because that would guarantee a nerf
SchwarzerZwerg1 not possible with the range, he moves back slowly
So he is Hyperion counter ?
Awesome bro
The buffs to maw and anus was just to get more kills in war
I got ebony maw as my first 5 star
I’m planning to get a featured to try to get doom... This isn’t enough
Kabam nerfed namor when they shouldve buffed HB groot netflix dd so on so forth
Subtitles saying Ivan Emam/ evany ma/ ebony mod (which is supposed to be ebony maw) 😂😂😂😂😂
Nice dude 😀👍🏾👊🏾, are you gonna do itemless tonight?
Magik can do all this with quarter the effort
Kabam lied when they said they are improving his offense.
They did improve it
@@jesserivera8447 Not much
Ebony is so bad but so powerful in he movies
Tell me why there's a cheating not add
Is he good now?
Maw is gud, it's just that u don't know how to use him
He has offensive potential?
Is he worth it? Today i get 5 star
So... he can sort of be viable for Gwenpool in 6.2.5? Lol
maw is the best against corvus cause he guaranteed the opponent to miss on guaranteed critical hits
5 months from now. Prof Hoff will n make a video discovering Maw as a power control god.
Super cool.
I got him as a six star :(
more vids like thissss :)
Wait,does thus mean my top champ is trash 😣😣😣. I should not have watched this video cuz I was very happy to get maw as my top champ.
Ebony maw destroys cap marvel movie and power steal Hyperion power.
Maw cannot destroy anyone. His best matchups involve him taking 200 hits to close out a fight.
Cool dude
So basically he's a pointless champ if ur not on an alliance... Sigh

Not even close! Quit this foolish practice, it serves no purpose.
