SuperMix: Heavy Fire
How do you guys think about this event? Team vanquish between corn vs all-star, infinite ammo with explosion. I try once, I think it's a balanced match.

Having opened all my chests and replenished my stock of coloured stars, I have now stopped using the Heavy Fire portal.
Reflecting on the event, I found that the Corns seem to have had the upper hand in over half of the games I've played in.
I think that the problem could be, as it was for me and maybe for others too, that I maxed out my Stock All-Star, who I use extensively in normal combat, and who is a short to medium range character, rather than maxing out either the Cricket, Hockey or Golf Ball All-star who are all mid to long range characters. Characters which I don't find particularly useful in normal day-to-day gaming.
The corns, on the other hand, are all mid to long range characters, and the gardens tend to in most cases to suit their characteristics more than those of the All-Star I used. Any comments you might have would be gratefully received for a similar portal event in the future.
I disagree on the corns having the advantage, it is clearly dependent on the teammates and the map you have at the current time. Having replayed through several servers, I found the all-stars have more of an advantage on maps like the colizeum and aqua center, which are angled while corns take advantage of flat terrain like lunar landing and frontline flats. Playing as a rugby and wrestling, despite having to get closer to my target, I relatively found that unless I was shooting on top of my enemy that I would put myself in actual danger.
I would agree with the general consensus; corn has a slight advantage but both sides won when I played this weekend. It was a decent event if not my favorite. So many husk hops and butter barrages mixed with so many imp punts! I got a few satisfying multi-vanquishes with my long bombs though! :D
I liked this matchup a lot, such that I'm still playing it by replicating it on Solo Play. However, I did switch it to Gnome Bomb and set the level to Crazy. It's an insane level of play using Gnome Bomb!!

That's pretty cool. I wish we were given more customization options for team composition for private play. There's no reason we shouldn't be able to select exact variants and specific numbers for AI. Most of the portal events can't be replicated with the options we have.
