Worth mentioning are Ultimate Encounters. Asymmetrical scenarios that go outside the bounds of their normal scenario play. The first is on their website https://www.atomicmassgames.com/rules 'All Will be Metal' an everybody pile on Ultron game.

We had a Bad Time playing the All Will Be Metal because I was playing Ultron and won on my second activation. On my first I rolled a blank on the doomsday dice so I claimed one terminal. Then I moved up to claim a second, and moved/teleported to a third. The heroes scrambled to block me from getting to the last one, trying to deny a landing done, but between flight and a 2” teleport it wasn’t possible.

We reset and played again, this time they tried to block the terminals while attacking, and it took me 2 rounds to run. The terminals are just too close together - if Ultron starts on one he can tag 2 more on his activation. The crisis team needs to end each activation controlling at least 3 of them or Ultron auto wins. Even activating three heroes in a row this is tough. And if they’re focusing on that it’s hard to rescue civilians and attack Ultron so they’re not scoring points.

Basically there’s no incentive for Ultron to ever attack. Just keep moving and claiming terminals. Hoping they’re looking at this as a public playtest and tweaking their Thanos scenario.
