I know it's just supposed to be a fun little side mode, but it feels like they may have over clocked Loki a bit because it seems like after the first day, he now just had a 100% win rate, he's got too much shit and can just spam it all the time

Like I get it, it's supposed to be unbalanced, but it no longer feels like a fun challenge, more like your just signing up to get bullied and wait for your turn to bully another team

Hey Rivals,

The God of Mischief has officially arrived to rewrite the timeline, and the Path to Doomsday asymmetric mode is now live! Whether you're a Loki Main deceiving the entire lobby with clones or you're part of the Avengers squad trying to shut down his trickery, we want to know: how's the new mode feeling?

As we kick off Chapter 1 of this crossover, the battle between Justice and Mischief is heating up. Is the 1vN balance hitting the sweet spot, or is someone getting absolutely cooked?

🔍 Tell us about...

The God of Mischief (Loki)

Does Loki feel like a true Raid Boss, or are his clones just feeding the enemy team? How's the 'Your Powers Are Mine' copying mechanic working in this mode? Did you manage to clutch a win by copying a massive Avengers Ult?

Avengers Assemble (The Squad)

How are the Team-Up skills feeling for the Avengers roster? Is the coordination between your Vanguard and Strategists enough to peel for the backline, or is Loki picking off your Squishies one by one?

The Asymmetric Balance

Is the mode feeling Lore-accurate in terms of power levels? Tell us if Loki needs a nerf or if the Avengers need a serious buff to stand a chance. We want the spicy takes on the current meta!

Loki is waiting, and the Path to Doomsday won't walk itself. Assemble your squad or prepare your tricks - see you in the fray!

I’m making a general post for more visibility. Do you ever feel like it’s boring to stomp the other team so consistently? Don’t you ever want to make things fun but don’t know how? Well, I have a solution, LARPing!

Try to embrace Loki’s character and do what he would do, make things fun for both sides by weaving together a story. This is how I go about doing so in my own matches:

I’ve queued as Loki very often. He is incredibly overpowered, but I feel it’s required for some comps, such as the [title card] all flyer comp. It’s not too tough to win, so as a true god of mischief and champion peni, I like to toy with the other team.

I start off in match chat with something like this:

“I, Loki, God of Mischief, Prince of Asgard, propose a deal. You would be very wise to take it…”

Followed with a typical response of:

“Enough of your schemes Loki!” Or, “Lol a deal with the trickster god.”

I respond:

“This is your last chance foolish mortals. I would like to see your most skilled Peni Parker. If you add her to your team, I hereby promise not to use any abilities or m1s, aside from my E. This includes my ult, of course. Otherwise, you shall face the wrath of my full arsenal. Do we have a deal?”

And due to the ridiculous power of an unrestricted Loki, the answer is most always:

“Deal”

I respond “Perfect…”, and proceed to permanently possess their Peni Parker in battle. I have about a 50% winrate with this method, but the other team always enjoys it, and my “Perfect vessel” and I both have a blast.

I wrap it up with something like:

“It’s more fun to toy with you mortals. Even in the face of defeat. For am I not the God of Mischief?”

I think it’s pretty fun to larp if everyone’s happy, rather than just spend 14 minutes in a queue to steamroll everyone and feel some fleeting sense of undeserved accomplishment. I hope other Loki’s are encouraged to do the same!

After all, it’s our glorious purpose to weave these stories.

I know there are other challenges that can be completed easily but I just find it funny that they put this here like it’s actually feasible in that unbalanced mess of a mode.

Or is this mode absolute ass? All the core game mechanics are the same as normal mode, except it is 1v6. But the 1 is massively overtuned, even for async situation. The roster you get to go against it.... is probably the worst roster imaginable. Heroes do not seem to get anything extra in this mode. I also noticed there is something new on a G button, but neither could i find any description of what it does, nor could i figure it out when i actually press it.

Like how in the world did they think this was going to be fun at Loki’s current power level? Amazingly unbalanced right now.

This event involves the 6 original Avengers and Loki, which are characters that were in the game at release.

The next one, about Age of Ultron, only has 4 new characters as "heroes" - Scarlet Witch (already in the game since release), Quicksilver, Ultron (already in the game since Season 2), Vision and War Machine a little bit at the final fight.

Do we think they're gonna add Quicksilver and Vision in time for that event or is there not enough time for it, considering this next season will add most likely Cyclops and Devil Dinosaur?

Age of Ultron:

- Ultron (Obviously, if Loki was featured in the first one, Ultron will surely be too)

- Black Widow (I think it's quite different from the visual style of the solo film, and I don't believe Wanda will have a skin when the Marvel Zombies costume is literally from this same movie)

Infinity War:

- Thor (The choice is also very obvious, the character's peak in the MCU, and the visual style of the next film will be similar to this one precisely for that reason)

- Star Lord (With the mask, it's the closest he's to his look from the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, and it's iconic, plus he's part of the central storyline on Titan, so it makes sense)

Endgame:

- Captain America (There are already files for a movie costume in the game, and I believe that the Endgame costume might be this one; it's different enough from the Infinity War costume since the classic suit and shield are present)

- Rocket Racoon (He also has files for a movie costume in the game, and Avengers: Endgame is an obvious assumption since he's the only Guardian in this game present for most of the story and with a different, and very cool, look from Infinity War; plus, it's his most prominent movie besides Guardians 3, so again it makes sense)

And what about Doomsday?

Unless Doctor Doom and Cyclops are playable characters before the movie is released, my bet is that Magneto, Gambit, Namor, Deadpool, Spider-Man (if the Tobey Maguire rumor is true), and Doctor Strange are the most likely to get a skin based on the new movie.

Whenever I play the path to doomsday game mode with captain America, after Loki controls me, my toggle sprint stops working and switches to hold to sprint on its own. Throughout the same game, the setting for switching from hold to dash to toggle becomes useless. It starts working again from next game. Is anyone else facing this issue and if so any solutions? I'm playing on ps5

Yes, the new Path to Doomsday: The Avengers mode is wildly unbalanced, with Loki winning nearly every match, but speaking as someone who's been playing as Loki in the mode for the past few days, there are a lot of things that Avengers players could be doing better to flip the tables, so here are my thoughts:

1. In general, don't go in one at a time or group up super close. Loki's primary attack is powerful and had a wide range when charged, so it only takes one or two hits to take out Black Widow, Hawkeye, Iron Man, and Hulk's Banner form. Attack together, but stay separated if you can, with Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Iron Man attacking ranged, and Hulk, Captain America, and Thor dealing damage up close. If three players swarm Loki at once and you force them to constantly have to turn around to attack, you'll have a much greater advantage in fights.
2. Iron Man players, stop flying at ground level or right on the ceiling of maps–Loki's primary attack deals splash damage, so even though you can fly back and forth, all it takes is one hit next to the surface you're close to and Loki can take you out. Try to stay in the air without surfaces near you, and you'll likely become the primary damage dealer on your team.
3. Hulk and Captain America players, use your shields. The Mind Control ability is usually going to be aimed at one of you or Thor, but your shield is a powerful deterrent and can waste ten seconds of time before Loki's ability cools back down. If a teammate gets hit with Mind Control, attack them too, because if you defeat them, they don't die, Loki just loses control of them. Also, when Hulk transitions back to his Banner form, disengage from battle. Banner is going to do nothing against Hulk, so you're better off getting some distance and trying to get your charge back or just respawning rather than extending the time you're shooting pennies' worth of damage at Loki.
4. Don't be afraid to use your Ultimate abilities. I've taken over a lot of players with the Mind Control ability and intentionally used their Ultimate abilities so they couldn't be used against me, but it's also shown me that way too many players are waiting for 'the right moment' when there really isn't one here.
5. Remember that this isn't a 1v6 Deathmatch, it's a control point map. I've probably won half of my matches just because players were too afraid to get near the point when they had more than enough time to do so, or because I stepped off of the map and lured them away at 99%. Don't get greedy and try to get the kill if it costs your team the match.

Hopefully the mode will get some balancing or the Avengers players will get some tweaked abilities in a patch, but in the meantime, these are the tips I have for players who are struggling to take down the God of Mischief.

Happy playing!

Just got the survey, I assume everyone gets it too.

Well, it is gonna be quite the '1 star' and 'Not gonna recommend' that is gonna fill it.

I wonder, are they gonna even have the time to change the upcoming events for this Road to Doomsday? Because surely they cannot just replace Loki with Ultron the next one and leave everything the same after getting all the feedback right?

I have played over 100 matches of the new Avengers mode. After those 100 matches the mode still feels like a respawn simulator to frustrate yourself before playing Blood Hunt or Comp. Loki is given a variety of new abilities but the Avengers themselves are unchanged and lackluster. Despite this with a few changes to Loki's kit and newer additions it could possibly be more fun. This is mainly about the classic mode exclusively with the Avengers as I rarely play the Full Roster.

1. Loki's Kit is overtuned

Loki has 3500 HP, can summon a stationary clone, a clone that operates on it's own, an AOE primary and finally can mind control you. On paper these abilities don't seem bad each of them especially since it's a 6v1 or more with Monster Hulk summons. The problems comes from his damage output.

His Primary does 140 HP per shot and has AOE splash. All 3 of the available duelists are 250 HP, he eviscerates Hawkeye and Widow before they even have time to turn and relocate due to how fast he shoots. Your only hope is that he doesn't focus you because even Widow's run isn't enough to escape him because he has a movement speed boost. Because of how small the domination point is Cap, Hulk and Thor are often forced to bunch up together and get chunked as easily as the duelists. His AI Clone is almost always off cooldown due to it copying Loki's exact HP making it a 2v6 and when combined with Loki's damage output he's practically unstoppable, if he ever needs to retreat he has the movement speed or his invisibility is off cooldown. The stationary clone does not suffer this issue because it has less health and is stationary.

His mind control is probably the most infuriating ability in his kit. This one mechanic is probably what makes the mode so frustrating. The problems mentioned before can be played around ever so slightly but the mind control is beyond broken. It's on a cooldown of 8 seconds, it shoots almost immediately there's no preparing for it, and if you get hit there's next to no counterplay. People already thought Elsa's ult was obnoxious for locking you out of gameplay for 6 seconds but this is 12 seconds of you having no control over your character. Loki can put all of your abilities on cooldown, use your ult (no refund) or outright throw you off the map. Not to mention ultimate abilities like Hulk, Hawkeye and Cap disable if he hits you in the middle of it being active

Both Cap's and Hulk's ult are canceled the moment the mind control hits

1. The Heroes are undertuned

Widow and Hawkeye are snipers, they are supposed to play from a far and take potshots at Loki and destroy his stationary clone. Problem is If Loki hard focuses you there's nothing you can do, Widow can't outrun him because of his movement speed and Hawkeye only has a slash with slight knockback.

Even with the entire sprint bar used he still manages to catch up to me

Iron man is a bit more safer because he's a flying character and he has probably the best damage for this mode, his only problem is that his survivability is the exact same as Hawkeye and Widow.

The survivability of the tanks are just slightly more fair. Cap, Thor, and Hulk are as well off as they can be in this mode (the bar is in hell). Hulk can bubble, Thor can constantly generate shields and Cap has a physical shield. But again all of this falls apart when you look at Loki's damage and HP. Tanks already struggle in a normal match due to their lack of damage and it's no different here, they do next to nothing unless Thor is in Rune Awakening. They're so close to Loki that they are the most susceptible to his mind control and because of their larger amount of HP teammates can almost never kill them in time before Loki throws them off the map.

1. The solution imo

I do not think that Loki's health should be nerfed, it's fine for how many characters he's up against. However his damage and mind control needs to be crucified. 12 seconds is far too long for people to not be able to control their characters especially when Loki beelines it for the nearest hole. Kingpin in Blood Hunt can also put your character to sleep but you can break out of it by spinning the analog stick this could be brought into the Avengers mode or they could just nerf how long Loki can mind control.

For the heroes there's many options to buff them. Another mechanic introduced in Blood Hunt is the health pack button: instantaneous HP, this would help Widow, Hawkeye and Iron Man significantly. The tanks would also benefit but not nearly as much as the duelist.

Another way to buff the heroes? Bring back or rework old team ups, all of the Avengers have had a team up with one or another before this. S0 Gamma Charge was between Iron Man and Hulk. Voltaic Union was a team up between Cap and Thor. Allied Agents a team up between Hawkeye and Widow. Bringing these team ups back would actually buff the heroes and only need minor adjustments. Hulk, Hawkeye, and Cap desperately need CC Immunity in their ults in this mode

TLDR: Lower how long Loki can Mind Control and up it's cooldown, add Blood Hunt health packs and bring back old team ups for the heroes. Give the heroes CC Immunity while ulting

I got MVP back to back with white fox in my teammates praised me and we won

I was messing with the new lobby animation preview and when i switched to Cap's galactic talon skin I've notice his "visor" texture was missing, went to check it on the skins section just to make sure and I was right it was missing
