If that passive stays even after he transforms, then he is now a constant AP generator as long as he stays alive... And with that added healing, he can. Imagine someone who can generate 3 in a single color every turn. All that matters is whether that passive stays. 

When he transforms, the Mystical Destiny power swaps to Power of the Demiurge, so the AP gain won't remain.

This is where Hulkling let's him keep gaining AP after he transforms.

Ah… a shame. Could’ve made him a decent ap generator if it didn’t swap. Still not upset, could’ve been fun though.

I’m just here to read the whales get infuriated for having the devs waste their time not working on meta 5s. 

Everybody's entertainment is unique.
But I wonder where did you read people wanting meta characters rebalanced.
And I wonder if following that logic you playing with 5* characters does'nt makes you another whale.

I said “working”, nothing about rebalancing them. Where did you read I said rebalance? 

I also apologize for not knowing the definition of the term “whale”. I didn’t know playing with 5* is the definition of it .

you know a stealth character who really needs a rebalance? 5* black panther. he does nothing. except with Thanos, and they have not been the top dog duo in a few years. make him do something other than a bit of damage when he comes back from stunned.

I always felt it was odd that he worked better with Thano5 than he does with Okoye.

Good point. A self stun, ability that creates team-ups, a black ap generator and an ability that does damage would all be welcomed.

A self-invis would be better than self stun for what he does I think. But that he hemmorages team up is what keeps him from being good with Okoye.

BP was released in Jan 2017 while Okoye was released in May 2018. If Okoye was released to specifically synergise with BP, she probably won't be the meta character that she is today. Another way of looking at it is they do synergise with one another. Even though they share the exact same colour overlap, but none of the active power overlap with one another. Okoye matches yellow to create more teamups to trigger BP's yellow passive. While it reduces teamup by 7 which reduces Okoye's power buff, it could be done to make sure that the interactions are not broken.

As for BP, he's still relevant in today's context. His threshold for being stunned is easily triggered with Wanda/Colossus. The only thing weird is his black cd. It seems to be buggy when I used him against Colossus. It seems like it triggers only once per turn. If not, Colossus reduce his black power cd if it's triggered by matcg damage.

I like all his powersets, and all of them are unique in the game. I think some other character might have power similar to his black power though.

I like playing with Wiccan, but he was so frustrating that I stopped. This is a welcomed adjustment.

Mine still dies pretty quick (lvl 318), but it is much easier to get him to transform.
