    No love for Okoye makes me sad. Unless that Spear of Wakanda offer counts. Meh.

    Besides Okoye offer, will there be other cash bundle offers this month related to Black History Month?

    I think there will be HP vault with 3* to 5* shards related to Black History Month.

    A store would be cool. If it featured Okoye and two others, I’m sure it’d be popular.

    Great idea , I’d like to swap out Okoye or Heimdall for Storm though

    A Bishop PvP would have been nice. Since his nerf I haven't played him much. But I didn't sell him. So that would have been an advantage over those who did and have him at low levels.

    Huh. For me the PvP essential is mostly like an 11th toe. I know it’s there, sometimes helps, sometimes gets in the way, but otherwise doesn’t usually do much.

    PS-personally I only have 10 toes and I apologize in advance if any of my comments are offensive to any 11-toed people. I will attend extra toe sensitivity training if need be.

    Swap out Heimdall for anyone. 5BP ideally.

    Royal Talon support in the Puzzle Gauntlet isn't too shabby. Though with my luck I'll probably get the 3* one. Also, I initially read Puzzle Gauntlet as Pizza Gauntlet. That would be an interesting mode. You collect pizza slices and the first one to complete their pizza wins the match. Final reward gives a Lucky support. There you go, devs. Hook me up with a 5* Royal Talon? Thanks in advance.

    I had pizza for dinner. Unfortunately my only reward was temporary enjoyment and now I feel fat.

    Hopefully the 5* after Phoenix Cyclops will be Scarlet Witch.
    I think she deserve to have a 5* version. She's in the top 5 of the most used 3*s (the others most likely being IM40, DStrange, KKhan and Magneto), so it's really strange that she doesn't have a higher 5* version. She's super strong and her show will be in the last episodes, and i think that there isn't a better timing for a 5* SWitch.

    Unfortunately, just because someone is good at one tier, it doesn't mean the higher tier versions will be good.  Magneto is a good example of that.  4* Wasp and 4* Captain Marvel as well.

    I agree in that I would love to see a 5* SW, but I would much rather the devs take their time to do her justice. I don't think 5* Magneto is bad, but I don't think it is as awe inspiring as many would anticipate of such a character. SW is depicted as one of the biggest of the baddest among mutants, prefaced by multiple SW-focused storylines. Give us Scarlet, but if it requires a few releases to make sure she's done right, I'm sure we would all be ok with that.

    Speaking of Black History Month... 

    When are we getting Rambeau?

    We'll get her sometime around October-November. First we have to have a lot of people request her due to Wandavision, then they'll have to start from scratch and work her into the release schedule. Like Hela, Killmonger, Worthy Cap, Yondu, obvious choices for a tie-in, but don't actually show up until ages later.

    That's my guess, anyways. If we get Scarlet Witch now, we might get a 4* Vision as well, and any chance of us getting a Monica Rambeau (or Jimmy Woo or Quicksilver or any potential hidden villain left in the show) will come further down the release pipeline.
