    I'm actually toying (theoretically atm) with the idea of Patch, Hulk, and M. Hawkeye being rather irritating to go against defensively. I have to level Patch up to a decent level to test, but the theory being that regardless of who Hawkeye avoids to, it isn't a great direction for your damage to be headed to.

    That's a really good idea... Would M.Hawkeye need to have 5 purple covers to maximize his efficiency? Will the AI use M. hawkeye's red ability, or will it use Patch or Hulks?

    I also think Hulk is going to thunderclap those precious countdown tiles...

    I really like the idea of Lazy Thor, M. Hawkeye and the Hood... Not much conflict there and a chance that the Hood may lower the ticker on one of those countdown tiles... Only worry being lazy Thor overwriting tiles (do they overwrite countdown tiles? I've never paid that much attention lol)

    I'm going to level Daredevil to 141 and show you all.
    Every time you see a red match you'll second guess yourself even when Daredevil isn't in the opposite team.

    The Hood/Original Black Widow and a Respectable Damage dealer, this @)#(*$#)( comp has eaten my lunch so many times. I run a squad of full 141s, I don't take any fights really seriously, this composition always sneaks up and leaves me wondering **** happened.

    + 1 to the previous post

    Hood + OBW + Damage Dealer. If one bad cascade happens, will take out one char at a minimum.

    This and CMags Purple.

    I don't know if it's the best, but I imagine a lot of people would skip a max team of Lazy Thor, Black Panther and Hulk. A ton of health to chew through, and with Thor and Black Panther you have two big damage dealers to deal with. You'd likely get more skips than defensive wins from that team as no-one is going to get through them quickly.

    I wouldn't have an issue with them. Patch, Psylocke, spidey puts out an easy 2k per round once you berserk and pop psylockes black. Sure I'll get buried if the cascade from hell happens, but that holds true regardless of opponent. Plus I can rely on the AI to waste green on hulks smash so I don't even need to worry about Thor.

    Oh I'm not saying they're not beatable, but certainly near the end of a tournament, speed is vital if you're pushing for a top spot, and I imagine a lot of people will choose to skip a team with around 25k total health if they're pushing for quick wins.

    In all seriousness, I am trying to do so, but have a few characters that I am working on at a higher priority.

    I had thought of that myself, but Patch green has a better chance of activating before Hulk does. As for Hawkeyes build, I have him at 5/3/5, to maximize his avoidance capability. The team covers the rainbow match wise, and ability likely priority for AI is Patch Green before Hulk, and Hawkeye Red, with Hulk and Patch tying for same Red cost. Ultimately, I can't ever be sure of its effectiveness without feedback from those that would face it. And until Patch is leveled, I won't know until then.
