    A post-release nerf probably costs Demiurge thousands of dollars in man hours, meetings, support etc... As opposed to releasing strong characters who HAVE to be nerfed, it's easier to release a mediocre character.

    I too have been finding Quicksilver more useful once you get 3 bubbles on board. Blue is generally a finisher as the other 2 characters are probably dead by then. I've had it hit all 3 characters exactly once, and even then it wasn't close to full damage, simply because I couldn't rely on it as the source of damage; I just got lucky with blue drops.

    With MNMags, at best it's like you're spending 9 purple to make 3 blue matches, and these matches are suboptimal, eg, they don't give you crits, line clears.
    MNMags+Quicksilver+Cyclops? As a side, I think it's funny how underrated MNMags was until Mystique came out. Now I find he's very slightly overrated.


    Quicksilver: only good in a slow match.

    MMags was always good, Wind Storm bombing was the fastest 2* team for shield hopping. The problem was the only good powers in the game were 2* Storm and 3* Mag so generating blue wasn't very helpful. He saw occasional play generating blue for CapAm but most 2*s (outside OBW) aren't even brought to PvE fights.

    I'm pretty sure prenerf Quicksilver was going to be mediocre but playable. PvE wise at least his black would've helped the AI more than it helped you if one of the 2 didn't auto-resolve on creation. The AI gets a lot more mileage out of crit tiles because their match damage is so much higher (especially with a goon on the team).

    Compromised solution.

    Black can swap any tile, not just basic tiles. If bagman can do it, why not qs?

    Green allows you to place the critical tile. If c hawkeye can do it, why not qs?

    Quicksilver's portrait is of him yawning because he sleeps through your battles.

    Quicksilver is so slow, that when he fights in the street he gets parking tickets.

    Black and Green both need overhauls. They suck at both damage and utility for their costs because their costs fluctuate and it's clear the design team has a problem balancing fluctuating cost powers.

    But his blue... It's almost good. I think this would capture the essence of a speedster while not being overly powerful.

    (PASSIVE) Quicksilver dashes through the battlefield messing with the enemy's plans and causing a bit of chaos. Whenever anyone makes a Blue match, Quicksilver locks 1 random Team-Up tile. If Quicksilver makes the Blue match the enemy team is stunned for 1 turn. But if there are already at least 4 Locked tiles, they detonate, dealing 190 damage to the enemy team instead.
    Level Upgrades
    Level 2: Deals 251 damage.
    Level 3: Deals 312 damage.
    Level 4: Deals 433 damage.
    Level 5: Deals 678 damage.
    Max Level
    Level 3 - Deals 991 damage.
    Level 4 - Deals 1377 damage.
    Level 5 - Deals 2156 damage.

    Bold is the only part I added. It would somewhat limit his team compositions but it would at least make Quicksliver seem, ya know, quick by comparison to the enemy. You could even have it stun everyone except Quicksilver if you wanted to.

    QuickSilver is so bad that D3 thinks he is the most "fun" to play character since Moonstone.

    Quicksilver is so bad he's been trying to run into this thread to defend himself, but he's too slow to catch up.

    Quicksilver's so bad, they didn't release a new character in his featured event.

    I can fix him. Add "lock 3 tu tiles" to green and black.

    Quicksilver is so bad, his voicemail is filled with Bagman asking for his title back.

    I posted this in the wrong place apparently:

    Quicksilver so bad I wiped on his team-up node.

    Quicksilver so bad Juggernaut headbutted his mom. and will headbutt his sister

    Quicksilver so bad Hood and Dormammu had a conversation and decided to give him back the 1 blue AP they stole from him out of pity.

    Quicksilver so bad he locked his crit tile in a corner.

    Quicksilver so bad his fists of fury caused him to crit himself.

    Quicksilver so bad when Groot says "I am Groot" he means "who is this scrub?"

    Quicksilver so bad Yelena asks him if he needs help.

    That's all I got. Someone else run with this ball.

    Quicksilver the type of mutant that uses cutlery to eat his watermelon.
    Quicksilver the type of mutant that brushes his teeth for exactly 2 minutes every night before bed.
    Quicksilver the type of mutant that asks the Avengers what type of cheese they want in their grilled cheese sandwiches.
    Quicksilver the type of mutant that would let a girl paint his toenails.
    Quicksilver the type of mutant who laughs at the owl in Tootsie Pop commercials.

    Imagine a sack full of tiny kitties drowning in a river of tinykitty. Yeah, Quicksilver is worse than that.

    If he was buffed he'd probably still be the worst 3*. Doc Oc and beast are relieved, but bagman's worried that he's going to lose the only thing that makes him special.

    Quicksilver is so bad that even Congress is trying to repeal him.

    I mentioned it (several) pages back that it should stun enemy team for 2 turns and everyone on your team for 3 turns. That way the opponent gets at least 1 turn to act before your teammates can use the AP they gathered. They could also do something like only green/black AP gains are counted (besides the damage done).

    His blue just gets in the way. Several times I've had a match-5 blocked by a locked team-up tile.

    My preferred build for him is 5/0/5.

    Tacked on a build poll. Feel free to vote. Working my way down the line for the couple other new guys too. :]

    [EDIT]: I think they're all taken care of. Quicksilver, Fisk, Khamala, Xavier, Iron Fist had best build polls now. If I missed one, shot me a message or just report the thread.

    You might want to double check his colors.
