OG player returning after 3 years, and quite confused

WilsonFisk

So I started not long after the game launched and 3* Punisher and 2* OBW were the hot team. Hung around and played at top tier levels for a few years, and then got burnt out a deleted the app. I've just decided to start playing again, and this game has got confusing!

Looking for a little advice. I've got 11 old school 5* maxed, and all of the older 4*. Are there any semi-competitive teams left from that era? I've been doing OK with the old 5*BP/Thanos team, but it's a health pack killer. 

Also, what do I need to know about supports? These didn't exist when I stopped playing, and really not sure what I should be doing with them.

Supports are for PvE only so look for good synergies with characters you have. They are quite hard to get but the monthly Puzzle Gauntlet at least provides a shot.

If the opportunity arrives you should try and roster 5* Deadpool - this will give you access to a special Taco vault where you can earn daily tokens and get 4* covers and a Support token.

Nearly all old school 5* are massively outclassed by even mediocre new ones in terms of health and match damage for PvP BUT they are now rotationally "God Boosted" so on any given week you might find them semi competetive. Panthos will be OK outside of SCL10 but not much cop in the harder modes inside it - not sure what your Shield Rank is.

The 4* meta is built around Polaris so you should pursue champing her and favourite immediately.

5* wise probably Shang Chi is your best bet to try and build as he wrecks even at low levels and can winfinite.

There are many good things now though - Milestones, shards, saved covers all offer a much faster way to progression and advancing.

I'll echo the above as I recently just returned after a while away. What you should do beyond this depends if you're exclusively PVP, PVE or a hybrid player. 

Focus on getting the meta 4* and their counters rostered and champed along with the stronger ones. 
Polaris
Rocket & Groot
Juggernaut
Medusa
America Chavez
Karnak
Vulture
Carnage
Iceman

When you said maxed, are you referring to 11 level 550 5*?

If this is the case, I would hope a 550 Panthos would be able to handle SCL10. Maybe not necessarily competitive, but full clears should be doable.

No, should have said champed. They're far from 550s

I'm not sure where your first 11 champs  cutoff is.  but okoye, thor, DD is still viable/usable.  Unfortunately, that era of 5* needs to be around 490+ to be considered viable.

To be sure,  you can still climb and place well with BR support/assistance.  But anyone under 480 would be a CC level combo to any random 5* veteran player.

Are you looking to compete in pve, pvp or both?

Whatever you end up doing, join an alliance. They'll be able to advise you who to favourite and who to use to get the fastest clears.  

There's also a bunch of "feeders" now. Spreadsheets exist that outline them. So you can favourite certain 3s and 4s and you'll eventually get 5star covers and shards from them. (my kingpin 4star is about 18 levels off of giving me my final daredevil cover  ).
