Loki will tank black, purple, and probably green, mags will only have blue (and not need to actually match anymore once he hits five), while Patch has red and (to the extent I match it) yellow. Every color but yellow will feed a useful ability or two; I should be able to get plenty of purple for magnetic translocation, black for Loki, and absolutely abuse Patch. My plan is to come out of pretty much every battle with only Loki down (m)any hitpoints.

Why would I give up a few thousand hit points, take a higher cost for his best skill, the ability to use an otherwise useless character to tank damage, and the ability to heal him with a bonus for possibly saving myself a healing pack every so often? He'll have the most hitpoints of anyone on my team, plus he'll tank damage in three colors, plus he'll discourage a bunch of people with lower rosters from retaliating. I'll essentially be running with three useful characters, whereas a bunch of people will only be running two.

BTW I maxed loki today, had 60k iso burning a hole in my wallet and already had loki at 102 since he was patches partner for a while.

This current punisher pvp I only need a top 50 finish to get a purple Loki cover (I need two purple to max him out) at the start of it I'm just putzing along winning matches here and there...now I'm over 1000 points which isn't personally necessary...but I find myself competing for the alliance, trying to boost the overall score so folks that need those alliance rewards can get them. I expect the same thing to occur in the Loki pvp as I need two blue covers for Doom. I guess what I'm getting at is I feel the need to compete for the sake of the alliances lower end players. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have played the Punisher or Loki pvp. Sure, you could cite the season as a reason to compete, but I'm not worried (see: don't really care) about my placement there. Just an interesting personal observation.

Oh... oh.. okay then, you might be right. Still, the loaner saves your healthpacks (at least during the initial push) much better than your own.
