    I was just about to post this. In fact, you should probably close the survey, trash the results, and open a new one after the changes; maybe wait a week or so to give us a chance to properly evaluate the changes.

    I'd still like to see the results. Been a while since we've had a poll.
  • Started to do it but this is too much work.

    I wish others would realize this instead of criticizing people for trying to do something(that we're not even being paid to do, mind you)

    4. Star-Lord
    5. Nick Fury
    6. Thor GT
    7. Invisible Woman

    Can u explain Kingpin? I've seen someone say he's good(he's obviously not bad), but there is no discussion that I'm seeing on why he's good

    I don't have any of his covers. It's just that all 3 of his powers look good. With the other 4*s, they usually have one great power and two middling ones.

    Well, he's smartly designed but his purpleflag.png doesn't really do anything(If this was MTG, his purple would be awesome). There's also the fact that he doesn't pair well. I mean he pairs with Hood or Iron Fist but you could say that for anyone. I only really see him working as he should with a goon army supporting him(unless there's a villain consortium coming soon to team with him)

    You can use a fully covered Kingpin in the intro node for Prodigal Sun. In my opinion he is extremely strong. His purple feeds his yellow, and if he gets his yellow out there are suddenly 7 CD tiles on the board all of which are effective. In addition you can for 6 Black do 4K plus damage by destroying one CD tile. So if you are facing a Kingpin and can't stop his yellow, you are pretty much screwed. And he has tons of health. I'd say that if I saw him in PvP he'd pretty much be an auto-skip.

    hmm I suppose I neglected the fact that the top-level PVPers just got nerfed hard, but you think he warrants a skip? Interesting. Is his blackflag.png alot of dmg at 270?

    EDIT: I just saw the updated OP -

    Yes there are planned changes etc but over 100 people have participated so I will post the results tomorrow.

    Unfortunately I've received some tinykitty comments so I'm not interested in giving up my time to do this again. You know who you are, maybe one of you should do it next time.



    Just wanted a quick snapshot of everyone's thoughts until the official rankings come out. Not looking to replace mischiefmaker's work, or anyone else's. This will be a quick, no frills survey and results.

    Let me know if I've missed any characters, otherwise I will post the results at the end of the week.

    Why do people harass people who try to do something for the community? I've seen it in my thread and now you harass this guy, too? What the **** do you want? Are you going to pay Stephen Hawking or Justin Wong to do these tier lists?

    Wish I could change my votes.
  • I'm puzzled by some of the results: why is Hulk so high up when he's pretty trash? Having got a fully covered Kamala Khan I see she should be placing very high, I guess a lot of people haven't properly played with her yet. I'd also point out that it's too early to be rating Kingpin as none of us have him fully covered. The old character ranking polls didn't include very new characters and I think that's the best way to go. After the mega nerf it'll be interesting to have a new poll.

    One man's trash is another man's PVE-overscaled treasure as well as scaring off the unprepared.

    People are sleeping on Kamala.

    Why is it too early to rate Kingpin? The people want to know so we must do our best to guide them. PS: He's not doing this anymore so your suggestions are moot.

    As for the results Iron Fist should be higher. Well, he will be higher come 4/17. People definitely realize Professor X's potential. Rocket and Groot are too low - As much as people are complaining about health pack usage, all true healers(plus luke cage) should be at the top of this poll. Star-lord and Elektra are too high. Just cuz they're 4* don't make the legit. Sentry should be lower he has no use. Jugg should be higher, Deadpool daily + balance of power/Combined Arms, 2*Steve should be higher, he's a staple of beating goons for young players

    Looks like most of the voters had a pretty good idea of what was going on - a few notes though.

    Blade is way too high
    cMags is a bit too low
    Iron Fist is WAY too low
    Deadpool is a bit too low

    Overall, good ranking.

    Thanks for this man
  • Thank you theDude, people like me who play this game casually for a few laughs at work use list like these, for help in deciding which characters to drop and keep when hero points get light. Can anybody who is a 4* player give us a run down on cover distribution and reasons why character ranking changed. Just thinking it would stay in line with mischef's thread, and color distribution definately helps. Come on veterans who always complain we never take their opinions into consideration. Please for god's sake help!
