Poll : What's your opinion on Team Up ?

It adds some customization and a new aspect to the game and replaces some terrible environment tile designs... as much as I loved healing for 50HP and adding 3 x 3dmg strike tiles... I think i'll get over it.

It's neat, adds some variability, and lets you mess around with powers you don't own and makes you want to attack certain teams to try to acquire certain powers.

I love it in theory, but receiving terrible abilities I will never use and that I can't even get rid of is quite bad. If the ability is too low level, I do not want it. If it's too high AP, I never want it. It could also be one of the mostly useless ones: I don't want those either.

Unless they want to make this a balancing mechanism (Here, you can fight this team with a IM40, but chances are you'll get stuck with a ****, expensive ability, forever!), they just have to rethink how abilities are handed. Being able to remove them would help a little, but still, I don't want to spend time telling a game to throw away something I never wanted in the first place.

Dota2 stop handing people treasures that needed for-pay keys for a reason. Handing people Blue IM40 powers is even worse, because there's nobody out there that wants them.

I voted too soon, but really the issue is that it's a potentially interesting idea that hasn't had all the bugs worked out yet. I think it's not well-balanced, currently. It also benefits the AI because they never have to worry about saving them; in a sense, it's like allowing the AI to use boosts, except theirs don't expire.

It shows effort on the developers part to improve the game. Regardless the outcome of Team Up's, the fact that they are trying is all one could ask. Personally, I see it as another sign that they continue to move in the right direction for the most part.

I would like them to acknowledge the future of MMR and PVE end times for euro players (especially for new character releases), as these two have been unresolved for a long time. Are we just stuck with these for the unforeseeable future, or is something in the pipeline to eventually address these two issues.

Interesting idea, but I don't like the current implementation because it makes the games much more random and luck-based. Maybe they wanted to show something in Comic-Con, but didn't have enough time to test before releasing it.

Voted No opinion yet. It's a great idea, but needs adjusting, just like environment needed adjusting.
Now I can just go to PVE and get a overpowerd version of ares on my side or even moonstones red is great in those lvls.
My Chars are maxed 2*, but now I can use lvl150 Ares powers...

Interesting. I see it as yet another effort to sell health packs. True Healing must've been very disappointing so far. I mean seriously, every new thing in the game since True Healing has been designed to make us take proportionately more damage in battles. The level up-shift, the balance of power pvp... this teamup nonsense is just more of the same.

The really funny thing. I thought this was the first change that no one would be able to find a reason to complain (aside from the bugs that typically come with a new feature). Now, I just feel stupid. I'm guessing there's nothing that any one can do that there will not be complaints about.

They come up with a feature that makes more teams viable because if you want lets say anti-gravity or aggressive recon, you no longer have obw in your line up to use those.

The "more" damage" people are complaining about is because players had taken for granted the CPU would go after enviro tiles instead of more useful ones. It is not that there is a new feature that is causing the increase in damage. It is the removal of the enviro tiles. Another way to look at it, the AI has been given a buff to the extent that is no longer "throwing" away turns to get enough AP to purchase a hot dog. Therefore, if the enviro tiles had been removed or AI made harder, you would be getting to a large extent the same increase in damage.

Lastly, you have to remember this feature is on your defensive team as well. This means that other teams that used to beat you easier, will have the same increase in AI difficulty that you are facing on offense.
