Why these matchups go this way

A second opinion written by AI from each hero's kit (shown separately from the main matrix, so it may not match it exactly).

🟢 Magik beats easily

Hawkeye Her mobility puts her on top of a sniper with no escape before he can get away.
Adam Warlock Same limited-mobility problem against an assassin who strikes by surprise.
Luna Snow A static healer has no way to escape a sustained, direct melee dive.

🔴 Magik struggles against

Emma Frost Her crowd control cuts the assassination combo before Magik can fully finish it.
Doctor Strange His anti-dive stops the entry before she can pull off the full combo.
Moon Knight Enough burst and crowd control to take her down before her damage window ends.
