The rockett said: Bishop is completely broken. Best example is this SIM pve 4E node. Bishop with another blue stunner. They know he is broken and don’t do anything. He needs to be rebalanced and I am not saying he needs to be worthless but it needs to be done.

What if Bishop generated 8 blue each time? 14 blue? What is the right amount? You think the devs nailed it at 5 blue every time someone with a 5* makes a match 3? I think 5 per proc is a fair amount, what would I spend 5 blue AP on when even cheap powers are 6-7?. Also I see nothing wrong with allowing players who haven’t broken into 5* play to force any 5* rosters that want their points to be more strategic in their approach.I would note that the snippet above is basically straw man. I agree nerfing is a bad option. If you’re in 5* land, you’ve had your chance to play with Bishop. If he gets nerfed, well I would point to to the same Gambit threads after his nerf. Really, in what world do you see Bishop being of any use (10 AP for a stun is ridiculous) if he is nerfed? He is a scarecrow, using him on your own team all the time requires health packs spent or some additional mechanic, this is his balance.I do get tired of seeing him in the last rounds of PvP since my G4mora is poorly covered and Worthy is a worse option than spending 10 iso IMO. If you’ve been active in the forums, you are familiar with dev response. You know they won’t get it right on the first try and do you honestly expect them to pump a lot of hours into balancing this one character when it’s clear they are more interested in counters and shifting the meta around? I know you hate Bishop, it’s obvious. I myself cursed him a number of times in Simulator. His role is to allow players who are not in 5* land to hold onto points in PvP, maybe an occasional use in PvE. Still, I see tons of response from 5* players that it just takes the right approach, which is throwing a non 5 into the mix. Sucks, I know, but it also sucks that any vet/whale can knock those of us not yet in 5* land from T20 to T100 or lower in the last half hour of an event.

HoundofShadow said: That's something new. Who said that?I'm surprised Bishop is a problem for 4* players unless you use some specific characters that trigger him like Juggernaut, R4G etc.

This does zero for me gameplay-wise as I have 7 covers for her. But I’m sure it’ll make a lot of players happy. I guess it’d also be exciting to chase a Classic that’s not trash. 168 days. 6 months. Hope this is ample enough of a heads up.
