    Yes! The first one I guessed right !

    Seems like they're trying to build a charged tile meta and...no thanks. I flood the board, AI gets rich with even more aggravating cascades. 
    Red costs too much.
    Yellow passive is kind've nice, but they should add colors that heal with increased levels and just get rid of the dopey active.
    As per usual, since the game is built around boost characters, the dmg numbers are hilarious.

    Talking about Charged Tiles, I think it will be interesting if some future character can capitalise on a charged board meta. For example, opponents don't gain any ap if that match contains a charged tile.

    Her passive green will take some time to get some usage, so I will put this at 3 cover.

    Her red will deal a max of 8683.

    Her yellow is interesting. Potentially you can create up to 8 charged tiles on black, blue and purple. The first character that came to my mind was Mordo because he fits in nicely with her. Cap Worthy could work with her since he punishes opponent who match charged tiles.

    She's a 3/5/5 for me. I will team her up with Domino and Mordo. Domino is there to shift the board towards a black dominant board so that Negasonic can maximise the chance of getting 8 charged tiles via her yellow power. Mordo hits pretty hard with his powers.

    She might be fun to try out with Black Bolt and 5torm

    Glad to have the character, kit is meh, and artwork (sorry) is just awful. 

    I like true heal as an addition to new releases. It would be better if it was enough to matter though.

    I think Polaris would like a word, and until a week ago, so would Bishop.

    it really just depends on the kit of a 4*, as some of them can really compete at the 5* level

    And this time we turn a miniscule characters from comics, who died in the comics she apperad for her 1st time into something important. Yet again before we get characters like Pym, Red Skull or whatever.

    You're aware that your constant griping isn't going to change anything, right? If you really feel so strongly, why not write to admins like Lakestone or feedback to D3Go using the in-game channels. Either that, or just accept the characters as they come.

    @BlackBoltRocks Yep, I am aware that my OPINION may not change anything. But this is a forum at which we can express our opinions upon new characters. My opinion in this case is "another movie based character" and "minor character before major ones".
    I call it "feedback". I started to post it as this year we got IMO like a lot of poorly choosen characters. Maybe they will verify their choice list maybe not. At least I can express my opinion here.
    Regardless of this, I am enjoying playing to some extent some of those poorly choosen characters. Whether a characters X is playable or usefull or "will I plan to play/use it" has nothing to do with who is he/she. It is a separate topic compared to whether I like the choosen character or not.

    And I stop here, as anything more would be an offtop and I do not want to drag it too far.

    That yellow looks ridiculous. Swap four pairs of basic tiles for 6AP. If you could hide her on a team with onslaught and PX5, difficult given her colours, the cascade potential would be amazing. It might offer a conditional winfinite.

    This is an old argument.  I am not saying that all 4*s are bad.  Just that additional time/money spent on making (for devs) or collecting (for players) new 4*s offers a vanishingly small return.  New 4*s are either useless because they are redundant in a tier of 100+ (like this character, or misty, or anti-venom) or sufficiently powerful as to render all other 4*s useless.  That's a bad deal for players either way.

    @DAZ0273 Agree. So to clarify:
    Between Major and minor there is plenty of characters to choose from. And I refuse to clasiffy them into groups as it is immpossible. I do not have problem with such comming to MPQ before major.

    Major/big one character: an important character in entire or large part of MU history or in last decades. So Red Skull is Major. Wrecking Crew are major or Enchantress or Abomination. Omega Red is not a Major (he is not minor too) - at least for me. Of course we can argue here if X is major or not.

    Minor character: for me if a character's role in MU history is minimal, very close to 0, non-existant, whatever we can call it. I mean we have to be carefull with it, but Negasonic is a few panels hero, who were resurected  and stayed that way only because of her apperance in Deadpool movie and her popularity cause of that (it i an unconfirmed assumption). Of course I do not want to overdue too, so I clasify as minor only those who are clearly minor. At least for me.

    So when I see Negasonic coming to MPQ before Red Skull or Wrecking Crew or Hank Pym I am 100% sure I can call it "poorly chosen character". As of today - in next ten 10 years she may not be minor anymore. So when Hellcat came I could not say that as she is not minor (for me). Less know, yes. Minor, rather not. (also I have no problem with Hellcat as a part of MPQ)
    So lets say when they decide that Jack of Hearts will come to MPQ I would not be happy but also would not complain as he is not minor (major not too). Not Major too.

    Also, I'll try to take yours (all of ya) comments into conideration as clearly my opinions has cause some... lets call it unnecessary ruckus.

    Plus: lets EOT topis of who's poorly chosen or not and why. Point taken, keep going and no offtop.

    The same argument holds for Rocket Raccoon - for the first 30 years of his existence he appeared in 10 comic books in total! So pretty much inconsequential to MU history. Groot? Created in 1960 then appeared twice and didn't appear again until 2006!
    But yeah, we can agree to disagree.

    The problem is  at this time the 4* is the "normal" tier for releases, 5* is the "high" tier for releases.  The rate at which you can cover the character supports this - speaking for myself (a 5* player who gets all the progression and some of the placement,) I generally finish a 4* character quickly after it's featured, and a 5* character we before it's out of LL.  If they released exclusively 5*s, I'm pretty sure I couldn't keep up.  Honestly, no one but serious spenders probably could, and that's undesirable.
    In order to make the 5* tier the "normal" tier (and then presumably introduce a 6* tier, which is something I would not look forward to,) they need to drastically increase how many 5* covers drop.  Alternatively, they can just stop launching characters on the 4* weeks and simply launch 5* characters every month.  They seem extremely reluctant to do either.

    Yellow swaps pairs of random basic tiles.
