**** Kate Bishop (Hawkeye) ****

Is it just me, or does Kate's in-game bio feel like it's a super cheesy attempt at being funny? Almost like a half-tinykittied attempt at being humorous like the Howard PvE came up way short.0
-
Her icon is going to be a pair of sun glasses, looks similar to blades.0
-
About the same interest in her as in having Cho on my roster.0
-
On the plus-side, all of these people who have no interest in adding her to their roster should make it pretty easy for me to hit top 100 since no one is going to be grinding for her.... right?0

To be honest it looks for me like the worst new character release since Squirrel Girl
The skill set is lame. And Kate Bishop isn't so popular. There are sooo many other characters who should already be in the game. Why this another Hawkeye variant instead of for example Gambit, Nightcrawler, Angel, Rogue... Yeah, I know that I mentioned only X-Men, and I know the answer is probably "Fox", but it's so irritating...0 -
So the teenage debutant with 0 powers beyond "did high school archery" and 45 minutes of experience is more powerful than Clint Barton; Avenger, West Coast Avenger, circus performer, fought Iron Man single handed, replaced Echo as Ronin, took out a Kree warship by rocket-head butting it (go tinykitty yourself Bendis). FFS if we're gonna have star level match rarity AND power. Can we at least PRETEND to care about who fits where. At this rate 5* Aunt May is gonna one shot the Hulk with a cascade of diabetes triggering super osteoperosis.0

Full stats please.0

This char. is about as much fun as a heart attack,
Nothing of her skills interesnt me, so I´ll skip this one
Lot of fun Marvel Folks out there like one of the best in my opinion Killgrave from Jessica Jones,
Hope he gets in like a weird version of Prof X0 -
Not. Fun. At. All.....I thought I saw the worst character when Cho was released but I guess I was wrong ....as others mentioned, why is an unpopular character with a completely lame skillset being thrown into the mix when there are sooo many other worthy characters out there deserving a 4* rating?0

I would have preferred a better known character though. I really thought this was going to be a Daken, or someone who's actually known for stopping heals. Archangel would have been perfect. Someone mentioned poison of some kind on the feather-blades. The Black could be a wing-clipping fly-by that he has to recover from or crash (Reckless Dive or Wild Dive). Purple throws out blades to make the strike tiles, then recovers them later. Well, we can dream.0 -
Would've been good if her black was any other color, so it'd synergize with Kingpin.
As-is, mediocre unless her damage scales like crazy - all of her mechanics just seem like they're different for the sake of being different. She might occasionally be useful against Wolverines (mostly OML), but even then there are better ways to deal with his healing than "bringing an otherwise trashy character along."0 -
12 blue to stop healing for 3 turns, Iceman does that for 4 turns at half the cost
Self damage? Really? Why?
Boomerangs needs to return ap when the CD resolves0 -
I suppose it prevents all 3 characters from healing... meh. Might be useful to get the AI to waste some AP. Looks like they're basing her on Green Arrow and his trick arrows.
I withhold judgment until we get her level 270 stats.0 -
I would imagine her only value is going to be against goon nodes. The ability to stop heals will be useful against all those annoying Lieutenant and Koran heals (assuming the turns increases with covers).
If she is paired with Quake then Quake can clean up the CD's on her 2 damage skills leaving you with the strike tiles. The only overlap in power is Blue and if the Goons don't have a healer then Quake can use all the Blue
A pure niche character for sure and only worth rostering if you are going to use her in PvE goon nodes.

Hope this doesn't violate any rules, given that she's available now.

Damn, that's a pretty big nuke for such a nice bonus tile from a blue ability. Unfortunately I still think Iceman is a better OML counter. For 12 AP Kate prevents heal and does 10k damage, but Iceman can prevent both heal and match damage for 4 turns, and then for another 6 can punch for 8k if you want the damage, or you can save it for another 4-turn stun.0

Looks balanced enough you'd switch a bunch once she's champed, but looks like 553 is the 'best' build, with the guaranteed damage instead of CD based (read: unreliable) damage.0

I don't really see the purpose of the her blue healing blocker (though it's another blue nuke, which were relatively rare in the 4* space just 3 weeks ago).
Countdowns are fragile and temporary. And the cost is quite high. There are relatively few circumstances when I desperately need to stop the other team from healing, but only for 5 rounds and only AFTER I have collected 12 ap of a specific cover. It just seems like a new power designed for the sake of being new, rather than actually serving much purpose.
Also, re: her black. Whew! I am so glad that XFW's green doesn't do 3400 damage + boardshake for 8ap any more. that was so OP! Bring on the Iron Fist/Cyclops style 4* power creep. . .0
