Are you, by any chance, familiar with the history of female objectification in comic books? A bit of prudence when it comes to new mpq characters is probably a good idea. We already have moonstone and Yelena if you really want to oggle some drawings but bizarrely don't have access to Google.

Vhailorx said: Green might hit decently hard, but it's basically a less good version of imhb red (has a theoretically higher damage/ap, but only if you get a favorable board. His purple will help keep blue on the board, but I think you need 12+ before you start getting a worthwhile damage/AP ratio). Random boardshake is nice of course, but as noted above, it will never clear the corners, and it will also dampen the damage from second castings when the player does get a blue-filled board. And's very expensive too.

purplemur said: Nope. Namor is garbage. Had to give Emma someone to hang out with in the whole OP in source but trash in game clubhouse. Tinykitty shame on you devs. GED and Namor = headshaking mediocrity. But it's really a kick in the pants for players who have been clamoring for these characters.

Tinykitty shame on you devs. GED and Namor = headshaking mediocrity. But it's really a kick in the pants for players who have been clamoring for these characters. I saw a comment in the MPQ reddit that I wholeheartedly agree with: ever since the devs released character-specific supports, it seems as though almost all the characters that have such supports have been relatively mediocre. Just look at the Victorious support: why couldn't Victorious' perks just have been given to GEDoom right from the start? Why take them away from Doom, and give them to a support that the majority of the playerbase is unlikely to have access to?Domino and Bishop, thankfully, were spared from this, as they don't have character-specific supports. Likewise Kitty; even though she has Lockheed, she's still plenty good enough without him.Just to link the recent 5* with their character-specific perks, and how much better they would be if this was part of their moveset right from the start:Wasp - Wasp Gauntlets. When Wasp makes a match-5 she has a chance to create a Swarm tile. If she simply created a Swarm tile on every match-5, it would speed up activation of Call the Swarm.Loki - Mirror Image. Deals damage when Loki's Feign Death trap is matched. Eh...okay this doesn't really increase his viability.Kitty - Lockheed. At the start of the battle, create a Protect tile for every X-Men on the team. Assuming this takes Kitty into account, it can speed up her tile boosting. Grockitty would be even more scary than it is now.Cable - Hope Summers. Chance to deal damage whenever the enemy team matches a Charged tile. If this was a passive that always dealt damage, it would punish opponents for getting first dibs on the Green Charged tiles Cable creates, and make his Blue less sucky.Fatpin - Vanessa Fisk. Chance to reduce the strength of an enemy Attack tile when KP makes a match. Simply make this a passive that reduces enemy S/A/P whenever KP makes a match-4 or greater, which would lessen the drawback of his Blue.Doom - Victorious. When Doom heals his allies, deal damage to the enemy team. This would greatly improve his Yellow, as well as give an AoE on a colour that has only two other AoEs (Agent Venom and First Avenger).So what support is Namor going to have? A perk that increases his chance to create Blue tiles? Another perk that has a chance of destroying more than 5AP in the enemy's strongest colour, or also destroys AP in another colour?

The current Support store tokens, pulling from the pool of Select 16 Supports?I ask because I pulled a Beginner Support token from the DPvMPQ vault today, which still accessed the old Support Store. DP vs MPQ started before the update, so the tokens still have the old odds/pool.
