Is it a good idea to sell Spidey

So you guys can't stun lock for five turns and basically ensure you never lose a match ever again. Boo-Hoo. It didn't mean he was worthless with 2,5k healing, a 5ap stun, and passive protect tiles.

The fact that there has been a huge debate on the issue and you still believe that people only cared about his stun shows how naive you are.
Plenty of us could careless if they completely removed his stun. just click the link in my siggy as i can be bothered to actually repeat all that was said on the matter when you cant be bothered to comprehend the implications of what the pre buff nerf was.

First I must say I`m new to this (type of) game and to this forum, and although I`ve been playing it for over a month (two?) now, I probably still don`t understand even half of the gameplay and rules and all.
Spidey being my favorite Marvel character, I was hoping to get him soon from the beginning, but it took a while. Then I finally got him, but was rather disappointed to see all he can do is heal (and stun, but I don`t have that power yet). I really wish he had at least one attack power (Iron Man on the other hand has only attack powers).
My biggest issue so far is though, that I don`t get any ability for him at all. He`s dusting away in the corner, still stuck at level 15 and with only one power.
Is there any way apart from luck (and purchasing over 1000 coins) to finally get a new cover??

For a long time Spiderman was considered (rightly) to be overpowered. So they stopped giving him out as rewards till they (over)nerfed him. I would expect him to get given out as a reward in a PvP event some time soon.

Thanks for the info. "Nerf" means... decrease his powers or sth like that? I`m not familiar with that expression ^^`

Correct

Nerf = made weaker
Buff = made stronger

I'm naive? Every single post I see on people tiny kitty on spiderman about is his blue. How they can't stun lock teams anymore for easy victories and he is now somehow 100% worthless to the point somebody literally made a post saying he needs to be deleted.

Your post says bullseye is better than Spidey in the passive protect aspect. I highly disagree with your statement. Ten blue ap on spidey, two Web tiles, boom you can put out more protection than 3* cap with his blue

I have yet to see a post that proves that 3* Spidey is worthless. Just a lot of kitties being tiny.

The complaints about his purple being worse than bullseye was before they found the spreadsheet numbers and actually adjusted it back up, instead of halving it. It's quite sufficent to ignore match damage, even without any webs, now.

He's still a very useful character, for example against Hulk. You just need more blue matches and the stun won't last that long. It used to be easier, but the strategy still works.

I dunno. Spidey was one of the first 3* characters I maxed out (my 3rd, but for a long time I only had the 3), and I've used him a bunch since about December. Since his super-nerf and ensuring mild protect buff I've tried a couple of times to use him in actual PvP matches. He's ****. Those purple matches cut down your opponent's match damage--that's true. But that is literally the only useful thing he does now, and if you don't pair him with CMags or GSBW, you get no offensive mileage whatsoever out of that purple AP. Taking a dead match to cut down on your opponent's match damage just doesn't pay off long-term. And that 2k heal you get off for 12 yellow doesn't really pay off when compared to the 12 yellow single target nuke and AP generation you get with Thor. And he certainly doesn't stunlock anymore--not even really against a single target.

Of the games where I've used him, I've never won with an overall gain in HP, and a couple of times I've outright lost the match. I will admit that my sample size is low, but that's because there's precious little incentive for me to play with him. He brings nothing to the table.

If you're a collector, sure--hold on to him. He'll certainly be staying in my roster, though he won't see much use outside of the prologue or his own lightning rounds. Otherwise, though--he's massively terrible now. Virtually any other character is a better use of a slot.
