[POLL] Player based "FUNBALANCE" list (3*/4*)

turul

I think this would be a good poll, which might push the Devs in the right direction.

Place your votes (max 5) on the characters most needing some redesign!

Unknown

Beast, All 3* with 2 abilities and IW.

I would also vote Spiderman and Daredevil but we only get 3 choices.

turul

Modified poll to max 5 choices

homeinvasion

Do you mean Overpowered or under? cause I chose top 5 OP, is that right? Also Thor should be on this list over say Beast, I dont get it.

Redesign in either direction, so overpowered and weak too

I am hesitating a bit - this poll doesn't contain all 3* or 4* characters. What were the selection criteria?

Unknown

IW definitely needs a redo, and it would be nice to see doom and liking get a third power

turul

Only 15 options were possible.
I have choosen those who I feel the community are (partially) dissapointed with. (or were recently balanced/introduced)

homeinvasion

you put in IM40 the most mediocre character in the game and left out BP, or Patch, or Thor, or Xforce or ... points for trying but meh. Dr Oc hasn't even been released man, are yo serious?

IW: 4 star characters shouldn't suck.
Sentry: Breaks the game.
Two-power characters: Not a single one is viable.
Spider-Man: Stunningly bad (see what I did there?)
IM40: The biggest victim of power creep in the game; his powers are just too expensive to keep up with the pace of fights.

I swapped Spidey for DD as he has such potential but falls short. It was a close choice though.

I needed way more than 5 votes...

Had to cut 4 choices from my votes.

Why set the maximum?

with 5 votes the most hurting points should be more representative.

With unlimited votes, probably everyone would pick 70% of this list...

Spidey needs only minor adjustments. Otherwise he's perfectly serviceable. Storm needs it much more but people just doesn't care that much about her. Now that Doc Ock completely destroys the one good ability she had left, there's no reason whatsoever to play her.

I could have used more votes.

A redesign isn't always required -- many of these characters just need a tweak on power costs.

CrookedKnight

Thinking on it a bit, since D3 seems intent on making new characters the top development priority, over little concerns like story content or balancing existing characters or fixing the token system, the most likely way to make Spidey viable again is probably not through reworking him a second time but by introducing another 2* or 3* character who can place web tiles (without spending blue or yellow) - Agent Venom, Carnage, or Scarlet Spider, perhaps.

Why no deadpool? He's one tweaked black ability from being able to compete with the best characters in the game.

I voted for 3rd abilities, IW, Spidey, IM40 and DD. I would have voted for Sentry and Beast too had I the option. And those are pretty much what the majority is voting for, it seems, no big surprise. Beast and Sentry probably "need" redesign more than Spidey, who I feel is the most useful/usable for PvP of the underpowered characters on the list, but since the options are somewhat arbitrary I can be more subjective than objective with giving my votes.

When you say "now", you mean in 6-12 months that the covers will be available?

In whatever order you desire:

1. Retitle all the current Gold characters to normal Rare characters. Such a flawed concept. Not True Healing flawed, but close.
2. Make IW a 3* - should only require minimum balancing, I would imagine.
3. Make Fury and X-Force the new special 3* Gold characters. These are exceptions to suggestion 1 and where the classification is actually meaningful.
