Spiderman now signifies a tanking team?

I know for awhile people have used bagman to symbolizes they are throwing in a tank team. I never dedicated the roster slot for bagman so i couldn't partake in this fine tradition but now that spiderman has been neutered i feel like i finally can.

  • I prefer using bullseye, bagman and whatever featured character...though a low level spidey wouldn't be abad tank now.

    Bagwoman is probably a better signifier. A reasonably leveled spidey has too much HP to be a good tank
  • From what I read in the changes, he still heals more than OBW. His other skills are not unusable either. I think people are downplaying him a bit too much because they are frustrated with the nerf but I don't really know.

    The reason this is happening is because of the natural comparisons to OBW. If you just compare their healing abilities, of course Spidey is better... but each character has two more abilities. OBW can get 4 tiles instead of 3 for each match if she's the strongest in that color. And with her purple, that both adds to the team total and takes away from the opponent. She can heal multiple times before Spidey can once.

    Spidey was definitely overpowered before, but instead of a minor change, it's causing more people to use a 2* character instead.
