    I could really do without champing Nico, ME Hulk or Kraven.  Nightcrawler is meh, only Rogue and America Chavez have been pretty good in the last 6 releases (and both are the same color scheme).

    “Hey, I have a cool idea.  Kraven hunts Spider Man. What if......every Kraven node in Shield Training was against a Spider character? Cool, right?”

    ”But Kraven’s best power is against special tile users.  NONE of the Spider characters generate special tiles.  He will seem even more useless.”

    ”Shhhhhh.  The players will have Kraven boosts coming out of their ears.”

    ”But...”

    ”Shhhhh.  We’re going with the cool idea over making Kraven seem cool.”

    —-Later——

    “Anyone have any idea why Kraven isn’t being used in game?”

    I would have liked to see something that incorporates web tiles. Maybe it strengthens him, maybe he is able to convert to strikes, whatever. If he is meant to combat spideys, he should have some ability to make it a strength. At this point, he seems to be one of the weakest in a long time.

    I would argue Kraven is weak in general. Even in a team, in PvE, he doesn’t come across overly effect, just very niche.
    So much this. Keeping in mind I only have Kraven at 0/2/1 right now so of course he's extra weak, but even with him at lvl.270 in the loaner node in Shield Training he seems pretty pathetic. No way to deal direct damage, only dependent on CD, enemy tiles or matching a (pretty weak as is) trap tile. I think he is already in need of a boost.

    Maybe to continue the tin foil hat theme: what if they make (at least 1 in 2) new 4* characters intentionally weak so they have something to fix when a new season starts?  Dun dun duuuun...  :o

    On topic, I think the theory doesn't work for a 100% since America Chavez seems to be pretty good in 1-on-1 battles, at least after a while when you get some AP stacked. I've been using her (at 2/3/5 lvl.209) on goon nodes in PVE and after a few early match-4's she can be pretty effective. I have been enjoying that quit/e a bit, but in matches  with normal opponents the made crit tiles can work for both teams in some cases so less useful.

    Why does 1v1 even matter.   The cp missions are reallly design for you to just bring a big nuke tu 

    His cott will be a few months away and he’ll be strong enough to deal with whoever
