What character(s) do you feel most need buffs/reworks?

Century

And what buffs or reworks for those characters would you suggest if you had the chance? How would it make them more viable or interesting to use?

Screen Monkey

1* - Hawkeye (Spiderman style refit)
2* - Bagman (just make him a usable character)
3* - Sentry (too weak)
4* - Lockjaw (don't see him used ever in PvP
5* - just stop with the multiple variations of the same characters - give us something fresh or open up 6* level

All hulks need to be revamped, to different degrees. Hulk as a character is so powerful in the comics/movies, but weak in the game. He should have a very dominating presence in all tiers. The type of character that when your choosing your battle, if you see him, maybe it's not a hard pass like seeing Gambit (for now) but at least makes you think twice before taking him on. Kinda like Grocket is now: Not the most difficult to battle, but you will need a health pack or two. 15-20 pts? Pass! 30-40 pts? Yeah that's worth it.

MEHulks powerbomb is awesome, but expensive. Main entrance sucks . Switch it to Sentry Fighter's Swarm and then he'd be decent. He would then generate more AP that would justify the high cost for power bomb. Regarding the countdowns: What on Earth? That's the opposite of what hulk does: "Hulk angry! Hulk smash!! But first, Hulk throw out a few CDs and wait for my opponents to make move first" Huh??? Switch his yellow to an active board shake that can destroy every kind of tile. And only costs 8 or 9 AP. Hulk should be chaotic, and hit hard. PowerBomb is both, but the other 2 powers are . .  Well . . . MEH

3* hulk would be good IF: 1) his red dealt team damage and, 2) his black was triggered anytime he took damage, but scales up at a certain point. So maybe something like "when hulk takes damage, convert 3 basic tiles to Green. If he takes more than 750 damage, converts 7 tiles to Green. Oh! And his red should cost less as he gets more green AP. Nothing more frustrating then having a ton of green AP, but not enough red. You'd think the more you pissed off Hulk the sooner and harder he'd hit back

SheHulk's red is OK, I guess . Furious charge is infuriating (as so many have already started) scresc you over just before you fire a power, and never does anything for you when you use it. Her blue wouldn't be bad in the 4* tier where special tiles actually mean something. But as is, special tiles don't really mean anything in the 3* tier (with a few exceptions)

Don't get me started on Cho, I haven't a clue as to how he could be fixed. Just dump him from the game, and give everyone their Iso and CP back.

5* Banner is a cool concept: start as Bruce, transform into Hulk, Hulk gets beat, Bruce is back. I only have a few covers, and I never used him (ironically he's the essential right now for Strange Sights, lol) so not sure how to fix. His transformation should probably be triggered by damage taken, and should immediately start going off . Again, the way seeing Gambit makes you feel at the selection screen, that's the reaction Hulk should get. Exactly how to do that without being too overpowerful and game breaking? I'm not sure. A thought though, one of the passives while in Banner form should be called "PhD's" lol. "Banner is powerful too, ya know? How many PhD's does Hulk have? Zero! How many does Banner have? 7!!" Hahahaha. Maybe allows you to swap 2 pairs of tiles on the board? A move that requires a little strategy to be effective, like Coulson's purple? 

Anyway just some thoughts

TL:DR
In-game hulks suck, please fix

Sentry was first to come to my mind, too. There don't seem to be any distinct upsides to using him that would balance out the fact that he deals damage to himself and the rest of his team. It would be cool if Bagman was more than just a collectible, from what I've heard nobody uses him, which sucks given that he's part of the tiny 2* tier. 

The rockett

1. Banner 5*
1a.  Doc Ock 5*
1b. Wasp 5*
2.  Phoenix-just need to increase her match damage, that should be about it. 
3.  Dr. strange 5*-  In need of a health boost. Lower Health of any 5*.

5* ock I think would be ok if he started with 4 tentacle tiles on the board. I actually really enjoy the craziness of trying to get his green to work.

Agreed, you can tell a lot of loving care went into that design to the extent that actually making it really good would ruin the whole thing. Doom has the diabolical plots, I like Doc Ock with his Cunning yet ludicrously overcomplicated scheme!

I think you're doing him too much discredit; Cho is actually usable since his rework. And nah, he still won't win any prizes in 'top characters' rankings, but his passive and targeted attack are okay, even better when run with a cd accelerator..

On-topic: the first that come to mind for me are 4* Sam Wilson and Venom (Eddie Brock).

wymtime

5* banner Hulk’s free match should generate AP and Banners black should not make enemy attack tiles. And when Hulk dies Court Death should not be triggered.
5* Cap infinity war.  His yellow should have a passive ability
5* doc Ock just start over

Cho is also a Sinister Six Boss Event specialist for taking out that blasted Ock reactor tile with one hit.

5* Gambit is going to need a buff very soon

Run Cho with Coulson, and focus on making team-up matches.  You will do a ridiculous amount of passive damage and collect a boatload of incidental green AP.  Then make like America and punch everything.

My contenders for needs work: X-23 (I just can't seem to make her work well), 3* Gambit (have only and will only use for essentials), Kingpin (yeah, I know he was reworked already, still never gets used), War Machine (too slow, only green seems to pack a punch).

Also true, although I prefer Gwenpool as she can do this for cheaper, and can hit Venom when he's hiding as well.

I'm surprised how many people say Phoenix.  I don't have her champed so I haven't used her much, but she usually surprises me by being stronger on defense then I give her credit for.

Borstock

Most of the Hulks are actually fine. The 3* version and the 5* version need work. MEH, Cho, and She-Hulk are all solid for their tier.

Both Elektras, Sam Wilson, Bucky, Nightcrawler, Lockjaw, War Machine, Drax, 4* Venom are all characters I don't even find useful when they're boosted. That's just sad.

She has the lowest match damage of all 5*. It is terrible how low it is.  My 481 PHX highest damage color is green at 698 (purple 621, red 543) yet my SL 5* at 453 higest match damage is yellow at 721 (purple 626 green 547).  28 levels different and he is still stronger in match damage.  

Okoye is 460 and is 799, 710, 622.  This is why is sits around and does nothing. PHX can’t compete at all due to power creep. 

Straycat

Sam Wilson should get the Green Goblin treatment. Let him affect repeaters, buff his passive, and maybe lower the cost/damage of his nuke.

Kraven should get the Wasp treatment. Lower the costs, up the damage, and help him self accelerate better.

Infinity Widow needs some help with her purple.

Bucky, X-23, and anyone who makes traps that you want the enemy to match should get buffed after the trap tile change.

DyingLegend

Flaptain needs some love. Maybe make it so any matches in red/yellow/blue buffs tiles. Make red cost a hair less. The buff for the tiles needs to be much better.

Thing needs help as power creep destroyed him. Maybe give him a buff where if he teamed up with another fantastic 4 member he automatically creates a certain amount of defense tiles at start. Make his green cheaper and if he destroys a defense  tile with it generate more red or green AP or something.

Lockjaw needs more damage, I still think he is bugged cause his damage numbers are laughable 

Antman needs to have his blue tile get fortified or something. His yellow could stand to do more damage. Not a fan of trap tiles, I'd prefer a repeater tile for his pym particles . 

That's all I can think of at the moment. ... 

randomhero1090

Not sure many would argue that Sentry is basically useless.  I'd take away all the self damage, except for his yellow.  Make his yellow cost 10.  Make the damage to himself match the strength of the tile.

GSBW really expensive.  I love her powers, but just cost so darn much.  She'd be one of those 3s that helps during that 3-4 transition period.  Pairs well with IM40.

Since we took some power from 5* Gambit, how about we give it back to 3* Gambit?  Increase the cost of stacked deck to 6, remove team damage, reduce damage by ~25%.
