It just seems appropriate.

The predecessor to this thread was pretty much about that. Then I started noticing more odd and amusing things and made a broader thread for them.Recently, close to a third of the Standard Tokens I've pulled have been 1* Juggernaut. I kind of feel like they're mocking me, given how long it's been since I picked up a 4* Bonus Hero (Which would let me champ 4* Juggy).

No fatpins or Emma frosts to be seen for miles!It almost makes me wonder if we are due a bad one soon. They can’t all be good right?
TPF Alexis said: Mysterio needs a team built with him in mind, but he's not actually bad. He could do serious work alongside, say, C4rol and Medusa. No need for blue, the team does want yellow and purple, and he generated Countdowns for C4rol. That's just off the top of my head. There are also a lot of teams he is terrible with, but that's a function of the team as a whole, not him in and of himself.

There are also a lot of teams he is terrible with, but that's a function of the team as a whole, not him in and of himself. I’d argue that he isn’t exactly good either. Still, a great run of really good to excellent characters...but, not Mysterio. He is low tier IMO. Not a Talos or Emma, but nowhere near a Juggs or Sabretooth.If you build the right team, almost anyone can be decent. I watch Rick Oshay often take teams that should lose and dominate with them. I don’t think that makes the characters good, but the player skill there is on a level where even challenging tools get the job done.

He's niche, but he does his job well in that niche. He's a battery character, but one that most teams don't have a need for, and because one of his powers is passive, it can end up hindering a lot of teams that rely on blue. But I'd wager he'd be rated much higher if he produced, say, red and green from yellow and purple rather than yellow from blue and purple from yellow, even if nothing else changed. The problem isn't inherently with him, it's the lack of teams in the 4* meta that need yellow and/or purple batteries.
