Daredevil217 said: Buff old 5s? Yes! Absolutely. Make them worth playing even without the boosts. Not everyone needs to have the damage/AP ratio of an Apocalypse. For most characters, their kits are fine but health, match damage, AP costs, ability damage and repeater/CD length/fortification should be buffed. Others (Banner/Wasp/Kingpin/Iron Man) could use reworks. For those characters you could introduce counter-meta mechanics into their kits that allow them to have a place at the table. BSSM is a great example. For those saying “too hard to get”, you don’t need him at 550. Just 5 purple covers and he can nullify strikes 100%. Rebalance. Do a welcome to shield event. Put them in a special store and have events where we can win tokens to said store. Feature them in PVE so you can get 250 shards (plus whatever for placement). Make each rebalance a “celebration” that the players get excited about. Ideally one rebalance per season. And the character should be featured in 3 special stores in a row before they “rotate out” similar to latest legends. Rebalanced Wasp, Banner, Kingpin store runs for a couple weeks. Then next month rebalanced Banner/Kingpin/Natasha. Next month rebalanced Kingpin/Natasha/Iron Man. And so on... this gives you three months to decide if you want the character and collect resources to try and get them.
KGB said: @Akoni, Yes but that store would have to accept LT's in addition to CP's and last for 3 months (typical time a character spends in latest). Otherwise you can't cover anyone as we know now how hard it is to keep up with the new releases using CP + LT's.KGB
