Two things!

First, the realms are geared towards all players, regardless of skill/team preference, length of playing, etc. HOWEVER, this subsection is far more geared to power gamers. I've only just recently started hanging out here, and despite playing since IC, I've learned tons.

Second, you picked a bad time to complain. We've been hearing about how Character X plus object Y is horribly broken for so long now it has become pathetic. You would need to find a combo more broken than SIF to get anyone to pay attention anymore.

To the OP. If you are in the belief that something is a "gimick, cheap, or lame" feel free to post in general discussion. You will get tons of sympathizers there for your cause.

If you want valid team building solutions then you need to let go of your baggage. Losses hurt but you need to move on. First off what was your team. I haven't seen that yet. That is the first thing you should post. Next why didn't you put camoflauge on all of your skrulls since the skrull ability gives them possession of shape change. They would have Camo full dial.

Here is my skrull team which should be ok for you to use.

SKRULL BB 133
Camo 8
Ms. Marvel 168
Camo 8
IG 15
Skrull Infiltrator 25
Skrull Warrior 30
Skrull Commando 11
Lian Harper X 2
400

With this team your scenero of Larfeeze getting Sinster map goes out the window. You have +5 to map roll. You have 2 theme team probs. You have a running shot pulsewaver with leadership for your little guys. You have an outwiting bruser. You can't be attacked from range on your main hitters. If you push down field. There is nothing Larfeeze can do to you really. With Skrull Ms. Marvel with the IG she will get anything else she needs and plus stats to make sure she is a better end game monster then Larfeeze.

The best thing is that you can take on a lot of other teams with this layout. If you don't have the old school skrulls you can replace them with the ones from SI. Out of all the figures selected only one is an LE. The rest are common. Really common. If you don't have the LE I know you can barrow it from someone.

The issue may be is that you need to think fun and function. Without both you can't win playing fun teams period. You can't win with comic accurate teams unless you keep this rule.

You could put Harley and Ivy on your team. They and all allies within 6 spaces ignore Poison.

Just want to point out two things:

1.) Map choice.

2.) Venue house rules.

Both of these add directly to the competitiveness of any team, and can even slant a team towards being broken. This is why some maps are "legal" at GenCon, and why there is no Highlander rule in place by WizKids.

What you're basically saying isn't so much that Larfleeze is broken, but rather when a sub section of variables aligns as such:

A.) At this time,
B.) on this day,
C.) when no one at the venue was prepared to handle this non-meta team,
D.) on this map,
E.) with these venue house rules in place,
F.) in Golden age,
G.) with these feats equipped
H.) and with the Infinity Gauntlet attached...

Larfleeze is broken. You could take many figures, apply them to the equation and get the same result.... XXXXXX is broken.

Really, Kudos to the Larfleeze player for thinking outside the box. The first person to do this was a brave genius (the eventual copycats - they will be much less inspired). You have someone who took a character that wasn't considered very good by the community and they found a way to make him work. It was probably the best day Larfleeze ever saw.

Now, my personal feeling is that this team could be beaten - on the right map, with the right figures on a team, and even perhaps in spite of the house rules.

I could see getting upset if every player was using this combo at every game (think: Squirrel Girl, Big Figure and Darkseid) but it seems to be an isolated incident.

Last week I played in the Gauntlet event...

Larfleeze w/ Gauntlet, Soul Gem
Inertia
Cyborg Superman
Superman Robot
FF Lex Luthor

Went 3-1 was creamed by a Supes 001 x2 and Pro X BS team.

I'm rather pleased to hear that someone did so well with Larfleeze + the Gauntlet, even with feats. Larfleeze is at the top of my list of figures I want to use with a complete Gauntlet. The full Gauntlet's PC/Q-like trait would do wonders for him alone, and getting access to Steal Energy and a 5 damage CCE when punching through his constructs will be amazing. Then there's all the other powers he might get through the Gauntlet.

Are you serious? Who gets upset about losing to Larfleeze? If someone walked into my venue and played that I would give him props for wonderful execution and thank him for the learning experience because that game is not the last game I will ever play. You make it sound like this guy took your puppy and threw it into a well. I am so tired of player saying teams or figures are broken merely because they "lost". You can't build your opponents team and should expect the unexpected otherwise threads like these show up.



Which venue is this?
