As I've been rising through the ranks and getting better and better characters and selling off the not-so-good **2-stars.

I realized that the ONLY time I ever used storm or magneto was when they were put together for their amazing combo.

I know that the combo is still not completely useless, but the magic is now gone. you'll have to work for it and most likely won't be able to spam it quick and get out of a match with minimal/no damage anymore.

So my question now, is there any other way to use storm or magneto to justify keeping them on your roster?

who else would be a good partner for either of them?

I'm not going to act super harsh and sell them, but it's been in my head since I heard the news.

What are you all going to do with your storm/magneto's?

    I'm going to use it exactly the same as before, but I won't take on nodes that require 3-4 windstorms any more. I think the limit of usability with them now is about 2 windstorms + 1 magnetic flux. Blue becomes slightly more of a focus color than purple.

    His nerf is COMPLETELY ridiculous. Why nerf a 2*?????

    Were they bored or something?

    You get 2 less blue. Stop crying about it. That is not a deal breaker. And hell, getting 5 red might create more cascades, or be able to set off Mag's awesome red, which generates A LOT of AP. You might actually get MORE out of this nerf.

    The combo was seriously abused...though now I hope they do address some of the scaling, as a 94 roster shouldn't go to a node for the first time and have lvl 210s--when in pvp would you ever try to fight a team that much higher?

    I understand your frustration but neither hero has become unusable (IMO) and the sale rates are insultingly terrible. I would keep them and use them, they may well have slipped slightly behind OBW+Ares or similar combos in utility now but when your health packs are running low they can still win matches for you.

    It's a shame a 2* combo got hit because of an abusable 2* + 3* combo and a shame heroes with such a modest health pool have lost so much immediate impact but they'll still do a (different and unfortunately worse) job for you.

    Stop crying about it = Clearly, I don't play EXCLUSIVELY with a 2* roster.

    I use them for the 2 DP nodes each day. Now I wish I had Ares/obw instead. Too far along to start building up more 2* tho. This sucks.

    It seems to me that the only reasonable course of action is to wait until the change actually happens and then try playing with them to see the actual effects. If you have Hawkeye with them you'll still get your Speed Shot, plus you might get his Blast Arrow (also good AoE damage) or a Magnetic Flux (which will generate up to 8 AP in 1 round if you keep Mags red at 4 covers). But theorizing just how bad life will become without actually trying them seems a bit overwrought.
