DEEP DIVE: ABSORBING MAN | Marvel Contest of Champions

[@SwedeahL]

THAT ROGUE SYNERGY I NEED IT

[@ДанилТкаченко-щ1о]

God’s MBC it’s your?

[@CallMeYello]

Thought of you immediately after I saw that

[@woolvermeano.g.5522]

Rouge with this synergy vs a node that special attacks costs 50% less power and a buff heavy champ...straight up cheese...

[@bossstarling217alt2]

Here before the nerf.

[@debuhoon]

First the Champion synergy then the rogue one, are you KaBam mIkE?

[@PawarPlays]

Man, the Rouge synergy has " absorbed " all the attention from the video to itself. Finally

[@thanosstxr]

😂

[@Lagacy]

Hypeee, I need him…

[@billnyebootyhole1759]

I agree. He looks like so much fun

[@addisonqi8133]

Like how he almost guarantees crits with that 18k increase in critical rating. But it isn’t guaranteed so that maw can’t be a counter to absorbing man.

[@austingeog]

Don’t say that. Another QS situation. My MCOC meditation for 2023: I need no champ. I will seek no champ. The champ will cometh to me 😂

[@PantherNationn]

Very smart design. Looks like he requires skill for the big payoff, and solves problems other synergy champs have had for YEARS. Rogue, iHulk and I approve. Well done, DLL. 👍

[@vincecastro7616]

This guy is incredible. Immuned to EVERY basic debuff

[@padamdhardwivedi7328]

Considering how much he changes, I think that’s a step closer on the possibilities of having Mystique, Copycat, or Chameleon.

I love how his design changes and everything about him visually overall. He also seems like a great champ by Utility, happy to see him come to the battlerealm! And that rogue synergy tho my god that’s beauty haha

[@pulpyfiction22]

Absorbing man looks cool asf

[@crazycasey824]

I feel like I'm more excited about this month's champs over the eight that could be in the game for the Summoner's choice

[@stevemeters3090]

I'm with you, dude. I feel very indifferent to all of the characters they chose for the Summoner's Choice event.

[@ZachofPotatoes732]

Isn’t gladiator one of the choices?

[@Steven_Triana]

I love using Rogue, therefore, I NEED THAT SYNERGY

[@Dont4Get2BringATow3l]

I called it, he’s definitely a precursor to Mystique. The fact the forms don’t go away after using them is proof of that. That’s how Kabam is gonna get around her chancing into other characters. She’s the “iconic” mutant they teased in the roadmap. Now I can’t wait til June, LETS F$&king Go!!!! 👍 🔥

[@Ultrqviolencee]

Mystique and Polaris maybe🤫

[@hedgehoginacanoe5838]

Don't forget the relics They basically swap out your champion with whatever relics is attached to them

[@akiravrz8639]

Emma frost already has this lmao

[@_think2026]

I agree but how will that help? She doesn’t copy abilities only appearances.

[@valentinsoriano34]

I also thought mystique I saw other channels saying no one really comes to mind when they hear iconic mutant other than mag prof x apocalypse colossus, idk how they didnt think of mystique

[@EmperorHawk]

My favorite part was when Absorbing Man said “It’s morphin’ time.” And morphed all over the place. Truly, one of the Champions in the Contest

Kabam, you did an Absolutely phenomenal job with zemo and AM. Both have great new synergies that are fun to play and the animation and designs are extraordinary. Can't wait to get my hands on them

[@Macandi293]

“Thank You”, Kabam and the team for adding my champions to the roster 💌 Absorbing man is highly detailed and would be an astounding fit for any player’s roster.

[@Vega583]

Excellent deep dive! Kudos to the creators of the champion and the video itself

[@Joshua-vy5dn]

I love the scene where Mike says ”It‘s absorbing time“

[@thanosstxr]

Then he starts to absorb everyone

[@tristanmoorehead106]

7:53 what music is this I like it

[@editorx6936]

I am so grinding for this man in the arena!!!

[@mlggamer5296]

Now all the synergies absorbed all of my attention every one of them. You did well with this champion. At this point I'm literally like cuz I already have an immortal hulk, I already have Rogue. Makes me want to get the rest of the Synergy members so that whenever I'm able to play this game again and I do get him I'm ready to use him right away

[@kayyodii]

Love that ibom synergy

[@mlggamer5296]

So you actually can change his what he's made out of initially, his form. Between the lava and the uru form. That's really cool

[@thomasjohnson8391]

The wreaking crew question mark synergies that will come soon.

[@happybeeps42]

Love you Mike! Your so good at this

[@josovi]

Wow now that's an intriguing character

[@The_Noir_Soul]

I don't understand why it doesn't stay in crystal form

[@Boatanga]

This champion looks absolutely fantastic. I love the design I love the gameplay. I love the animations. I love the character design and how he looks when he’s changed forms will definitely be going for this guy

[@Yummers0091]

Yeah Imma call him Synergy Man for now on, all his synergies are just too good.

Titania Synergy Worth To Get. This deep dives almost feels like a textbook but all his abilities ain't bore me out of him for my roster. also, absolute moment on his Victory outro. XD

[@ziveisenstodt2477]

I wish he would change texture and abilities according to certain Champions he's fighting. Like metal Champions he would be in metal form, but Iceman and Emma Frost he would be a blue crystal, Thing and Korg rock, Gamma Champs he would turn green, and so on

[@babyjesuslovesme1219]

LOVE how he fights like a boxer.

[@lsrq74]

Oh boy. This month champions look promising

[@danielpevzner6610]

Has there been any change since that video? Green door synergy doesn’t seem to appear for my 5 star absorbing man

[@markmartin5817]

There’s so much to absorb. He has so many if/then play style actions that he will take a lot of skill and understanding to use him at his full potential. Someone will figure him out and they’ll nerf him. He has so much in his kit and synergies it’s bound to happen. Hopefully if I get him early I can learn the best rotations. He looks interesting and the better of the 2 this month though. Also their building a lot of new champs to counter herc. This is ok though since he’s a mystic. 90% reduced immortality. 😢

[@jessicaallen2470]

One thing he basically NEEDS for good damage is my biggest offensive weakness in this game... I am awful at light intercepts...my Achilles heel....if I followed this correctly though, he's going to way more of a problem on defense at high levels.....just regenning 30% of his max health a few times a fight?!?!

[@masacre_999]

I need absorbing man!! He is awesome

[@calvatronic]

Seems weird he reduces debuffs since he’s a mystic and it makes him a science counter unless I missed something. The Thor synergy seems to give Thor some juice

[@hanro8096]

missed opportunity to have a synergy with juggernaut, titania, hulk and thor called 'nothing to fear'

[@Xenzation]

Hulkling Killer + Terrax Killer. Nice 👏👏

[@mlggamer5296]

Okay upon further observation I see you just modernized that mechanic a little bit so it probably is the same but instead of the Buffs themselves having the timer and then refreshing every time you touch you'll see them as more permanent buffs but there's an actual timer going down rather than on the buffs themselves

Daaaannnggg. DLL went hard for his first champ. I want him.

[@mlggamer5296]

And obviously I can't get over that special three I didn't know he could grow but most importantly a crystalline form oh my God and he can turn them into Crystal. I feel like that should have been a third form honestly if you do your special three but this guy is way better than I thought it was going to be cuz like I said I thought he was just going to be a thing where if he's fighting metal champions then he would just take on the composition of what makes them metal but from what I've seen the lava/the magma form and the Uru form that's pretty dope. Also I noticed that he gets his uru from the black Wrecking Ball I always thought it was from Thor while fighting him and that was a thing you could just retain and do whatever he wanted how did he get his hands on a wrecking ball of that strength? I need to look up this dude's origin

[@snoopy4749]

Been waiting for Creel to come for years and now finally hes here and is a weapon!

[@Absolute-Melody]

19,800+ critical rating if opponent isn’t stunned on heavy? Lot’s of nodes will benefit from that

[@gameguyry4687]

why did the rotation not show anything to do with his magma for and special 2? surely there’s more than one play style that involves the l2, so why was it not shown?
