What will you do with your nerfed OML?

We're in a tough situation, but we'll pull through! I'm personally going to keep using him. Partly because he's still the best 5* that I have currently and also because I want to move that 10% usage stat to 20% usage! Use him even more just to register the fact that I'm upset that they nerfed him (if that makes any sense?) (I already used him about every match, so I can't actually really use him more than before).

I have very few OML covers, so this makes no difference to me.

    Kept mine, at 5/3/3 420 he's never been the headliner of my roster and since I don't open classics he never will be

    Good point! Unfortunately there's no way that I know of to edit polls, once you create them. But I agree! I had a 6th red cover that I sold for one token. But I would never sell my 12-cover lv 435 oml for just 7 tokens. That's crazy talk!!

    1 cover, wasn't using him so he's already gone.  Drew a more useful cover for a highly covered 5*.   I was considering selling the single cover for iso anyway, as a 1-cover 5* in classics has minimal value.  I probably wouldn't have, but it was worth considering with the current release pace.

    Mine is 5/2/5 @390, and I'm close to getting the 3rd yellow on the resupply, so I think it would be crazy for me to sell him (my next best 5* is an 11 cover Phoenix @360). So far the changes haven't made a huge difference to me as I'm not fighting champed 5*s.He is still just fine for trivial PvE teams, Lightning Rounds, and tanking against the level 350+ Juggernauts in PvE.

    Mine was 3/0/1 and rarely used him so i sold him and got my 5th black thanos and Blue Silver surfer so i am happy about that

    0/2/1 level 255.

    Just isn't worth one extra cover when I only have one 5 over ten covers.

    I'll keep him as OML and Phoenix are my only fivestar champions. I will open my hoard at the end of this season though, so that makes the nerf easier to bear.

    Should have an Other option.  For me, I won't sell my champ 459 OML bcs the compensation is way to pitiful to justify the time, cover, and ISO cost.  However, I removed him as my 5* Bonus Hero (now BB).  And, I will sell my 0/2/0 255 dupe OML.  It's super annoying, but he's still somewhat playable as a meat shield (at least in PVE).  He will continue to pair well w/ Thanos, but I'll just have to rotate out Thanos every couple of matches so OML can heal up.  It's really not going to change my usage (until I get my Dr Strange to 450), but it sucks that the devs felt this was necessary bcs of 'overusage.'  Could've left his offense alone, jerks.

     Not going to change anything with him. The backlash has worked itself into a mob frenzy and over- reacted imo.
    The fact that did many people are up in arms proves their point about his over reliance.

    I don't use my 5*. At all.

    I hate opening a legendary token and getting a 5*. Feels utterly pointless. My ISO income is low enough that it takes me weeks to max out a 4* and I have enough of those I want to max out already. I'm less inclined to utilise my expensive 5*s and mess up my scaling.

    I have a 5/2/5 level 435 OML, planning to keep him and still have him as my bonus hero.  I'm pretty sure that he's still great with 5 yellow covers, so hopefully I'll pull that last yellow, champ and re-spec and all will be well.

    Sadly my 5/5/2 is not that great.

    Still trying to decide. In HoD he still seems generally useful for tanking over Medua/Quake/Strang3 for me so that's got value... but as half of my 5* champs (with Phx), Nefarious is showing he can't pull his weight in PvP as well anymore... so I am debating selling him off and using it to champ another 4* and keep hoping for covers for my 10-covered 5*s sitting at 255.

    I'm debating selling my champed OML. I have he and PHX champed and that's it in terms of 5s. This ruined my play style as all my 4 star champs became useless as I have to always use OML and PHX because of scaling. Thinking about selling him so that I hopefully stop seeing only 5 star teams (since I'll only have PHX) and I can start using my 4 stars again. Thoughts?

    30k HP OML or 10k HP 4*s i have... or maybe these poor 5*s i havent invested a single ISO in?
    For me, OML is still very useful - he still has decent regen plus his red passive is unchanged.
    So no, no way i would sell him :D

    Would have more strongly considered selling if it were a 1:1 cover compensation for him.  Instead, it's half which is just a joke.  And also, rng loves to play cruel games so I'd probably end up with a boatload of 4.5* banner covers.

    Or the fact that some people poured countless hour or thousands of dollars into obtaining him. Also the fact that their scaling forces them to use him. Nerfing doesn't improve that. Fix scaling and he'd be used less.


    The nerf doesn't impact my OML since he was 2/2/2 and only used in LR. But why would I want to continue to grow a roster knowing that D3 will pull the rug out on my best characters? This and vaulting has hampered my enjoyment of playing greatly.
