Off the bench and in the fight....

IamTheDanger

Ok, so we have all had a chance at the Dp daily now. And in this I've used characters that I rarely use.
For the first time in 3 or 4 weeks, Yelena was back in the field. As was Bagman. And Moonstone. Really Not only were they in the fight, but they did very well.

So, I'm just curious. How many of you out there, first, still have a Yelena and Bagman. And second, how many of you used them. I would think most players would prefer IM35, or Juggs. And yes, I used them too. But it was nice to use my older 1* characters that rarely get to see any action. I mostly only ever used them in prologue when I'd be bored and just use them to play around a bit. Which is only once or twice every few weeks or so just to kill some extra time with matches that
don't matter if I win or not. I used to use them in PvP events and PvE both until a few months ago when I got some 3*s in the 125+ level range. Then they were benched and just sat there looking so sad and bored .

. But now? Now they are back in the middle of battle and loving it.
Welcome back old friends. I would say you have been missed, but it would be a lie. I mean lets face it, certain characters are next to useless in high level PvP. Good in specific situations, but overall. ...? Not so much.

The only character I have ever deleted for roster space was Yelena and I still don't regret it, lol.

Actually playing with my 1*/2* players is definitely enjoyable, I would otherwise never be playing with them again and would continue to eye them for deletion to make space and now I will not...ever (so long as DDQ exists). Good move D3, I see what you did there.

Just wrecking matches with Jugs each day is a fun stress reliever that is the big boy PVE, I have only leveled a few 1* and 2*, this is now making me think to go back and level them a bit more to enjoy this daily event with a bit more diversity. Maybe I'll level Moonstone and finally understand the devs weirdo obsession with her.

I just finally deleted Yelena to make room for Cyclops. I admit using Bagman with Starlord and Cage is tons of fun and makes me laugh. Because why not?

I've still got both. Yelena level 40, Bag-Man level 80, though he'll be taken to 94 when the rest of the 2*s are, after I finish getting all the 3*s to their caps.

I use both of them for tanking. Yelena a lot, like the rest of the 1*s; Bag-Men less so, but I use him the most of the 2*s for tanking purposes, since he heals the fastest. Admittedly, I don't tank nearly as often as I used to; just when I start seeing 166s from the first fight.

I played the entire prologue before jumping to the other modes. I'd forgotten how much I used to love 1* Hawkeye. He saved me from many a goon squad....

I dusted off the two star classic of OBW/Thor. It was nice. My 1* roster is not very deep, consisting of Juggs (40), Juggs (1), and MBW (1). Juggs and MBW got it done, but DDQ has tempted me to re-roster a 1* Storm. Bring a nice TU, grab some yellow, shank a dude with TU tiles.

I don't have Bagman, Moonstone, or Yelena and likely never will. I had a 84 Moonstone once, and hardly ever played her. Villains have to be really really good to be worth it, since they are so rarely buffed. Like Daken level good.

It's the midair spin - brings out the teenage boy hormones.

I've had both Yelena and Bags at various times (even maxed Yelena early in MPQ life, before I found the forums).

Now it's just all Juggernaut all the time. It's still really fun playing that node 1 on 3. So much that I want a survival node where every enemy you beat adds that enemies' number of stars to Juggs level (and adds their health, otherwise he couldn't survive all the headbutts), and you just keep fighting 1 on 3 while he keeps getting stronger, and see how far it goes.

Unknown

I finally got to use my Level 1 Juggs and Venom in a fight!! Those 2 haven't lasted very long in the fight against Bagman and the ninjas.

Unknown

I looked at OBW and Ares, and I looked at Storm and Mags...I relied upon these once...they were amazing...I remembered to myself.

But how do I use them now....it's been so long lol.

TazFTW

Yep, saw the 1* requirement and used my maxed Yelena, Venom, and CHawkeye (team purple people eaters)

I don't even think bag man still has a bag man in his MPQ roster.

OBW/Thor AND Cstorm! Glorious. It was like 2013 all over again.

Photon Blast doesn't stick around long enough for me to figure out what's going on with her abs. I think she has a 14-pack.

I have every 2* fully leveled except for Bagman - I try to use them when they are buffed in PVE's, just for fun. Since Bagman is a 15 - he'll continue sitting on the bench. Current PVE for example I'm running the early nodes with 2* Cap/Hawkeye/Torch. In BoP I still use a variety of 1*'s - Venom with Spidey for fun times, IM and Storm occasionally to break up the Juggyness. Dumped Yelena, Hawkeye, and Widow as they have still not fixed roster HP costs and it is getting ridiculous (800 HP for each now).

Daredevil certainly lets those 1*'s be played more than once a season. I haven't found myself varying from regular 2*'s in Daredevil yet - but I basically never use Mags/Storm or Daken/Wolvy anymore anyway, so it brings back memories (of three months ago, but still).

I have both Yelena and Bags still (the only character I ever kicked out was 1* Hawkeye, who i feel is just as useless as yelena), both fully covered, but I've leveled neither of them, so they still sit out the daily quests in favor of OBW/Ares/Daken and Jugs/IM/Venom.

CaptainFreaky

I too am having fun bashing heads with Juggs - getting Juggy with it you might say!

Unknown

I actually had to level Juggs. All my 1* were level 1 placeholders except for 1* Storm, which was locked out of the first node yesterday. So lv40 Juggernaut and lv1 Yelena & B Widow are my 1* jam for DDQ.

PuceMoose

Yep, I only have one one-star, Sir JuggsALot, and he cleaned up nicely in the first DDQ event, just at a tender level 11. However, he was destroyed by those ninjas in today's pVE, so I raised him to 21 and then he was able to clean house (with pretty heavy damage). Nice pairing with Daken Chemical Reaction Team Ups.

Nellyson

Hahahaha...DDQ has been the most fun thing in awhile. I have always tried to lie to myself and use a 1 thinking they'd be perfect for a situation...now they actually are!!! I might have to do a node with my level 1 and level 31 Bag Head just cause you said something!! Of course will come along just cause I like crashing into things! Hahaha...so much fun. So much glorious fun!

Unknown

You know this is a great idea. Play some characters that normally don't see any play. Actually have fun with the game!

Wow! What an insane concept!
