Maybe the new devs will listen. It's time to nerf 5* Scarlet Witch.

When a level 500 character can easily take down buffed 650s, there's a problem.

    Level 650 Doc Ock is still Doc Ock.

    Wanda will be nerfed starting tomorrow, when a bunch of people un-hoard for their shiny 550 Janes.

    You talking about Shang Chi and Jane?

    I personally think that the Wanda stack attack should be capped, but a nerf isn't necessary. She's very beatable.

    Wanda has suffered enough, leave her alone. The most OP character is Shang Chi by far but just because he is useless on defence he gets a pass.

    Considering that you just hit my 550 apocalypse and Wanda boosted to almost lvl 600 four times in a row with an un boosted baby champ shang chi and unboosted baby champ mighty thor it seems like you're greatly exaggerating how OP Wanda is. 

    Update: 9 times in a row now,  will he go for ten?
    Don't keep us in suspense, did he go for ten?

    Thinking about this thread yesterday I decided to bring my 3/4/4 lvl 70 Oscorp Spider-Man in to PVP against all these boosted Wandas. It completely shuts down the repeater, however once it is locked she will create another one. I had as many as 3x enemy repeaters in play in a few matches. Pretty sure that's a bug, i wouldn't mind if somebody fixed that behavior. But otherwise wanda is fine, there are tools available.

    Wanda doesn’t need a nerf. The roster is so thick now they can create hard counters to certain characters.

    Actually now that I think of it Wanda needs a buff because reasons.

    I used to take down champed 5* BRB and some boosted 5* with two baby champed four stars in pvps. Should they be nerfed as well? 

    Anyway, there are many counters to Wanda Gamora was the first one and then we have Ultron. Shang Chi is one due to winfinite. Ghostpool is an underrated counter. Then, we have Dr Thor (+ Iceman). Chasm gives players an edge over Wanda on the first turn and he tanks, has high match damage and has revive. If not, you can always fall back to the classic stun for x turns and unleash.

    Just woke up to hits number 10 and 11. This one goes up to 11!

    And 1 wipe. Wanda is so super duper strong she can only be beat 11 out of 12 times guys.
    Boosted Wanda!

    Hillarious. 
    On pvp SIM there are already many baby champed Jthors, and I will lose for sure if I don't kill her first with my advanceds apoc and wanda.
    Open your mind, nerfing belongs to another era and another devs.

    I can still see nerfing being necessary - particularly if a character creates an interaction with another character that was unforeseen by the devs.  And let's face facts - Gambit (and Bishop, for that matter) was OP coming out the gate and everyone who saw him said so.  They were absolutely nerfed too hard, but that's beyond the point.
    Neither of those things apply here, though.  Wanda is a very good character, but she has some distinct weaknesses.  She is the best overall support character in the game - particularly because she can fill in three good roles - creating a color, reducing enemy damage, boosting your own damage, but other than the second thing there are definitely better characters for that role.  She isn't OP, though, and nerfing her won't help the game balance, just drive spenders from the game.
    As noted above, if there's any character that is OP it's Shang-Chi, but he's tinykitty on defense so honestly I don't think he needs a nerf either.  If the devs want to make sure that people can't just stomp on a node, he'll get the axe.

    The devs should just track every character I use, and nerf all the others.

    I think the Devs should give every character a passive that produces Call the Swarm tiles and then make Wasp a 6*.

    I have both Shang-Chi and Wanda champed and don't think either is so OP as to need to be nerfed but if I did have to pick one of them as most OP it would be Shang who makes a huge difference in both PvE and PvP whereas Wanda is only a deterrent at best in PvP.  

    I really would like to see Bag-Man nerfed.  I know he's already useless but maybe add 2 more AP to each power.

    I think people will be asking for a Chasm nerf once he proliferates.

    Using 5* scarlet witch is one of the few times when you can watch the enemy get a ridiculous cascade and keep a smile on your face. It happened to me earlier against red hulk and it was a great feeling knowing that he was about to get wiped out by his own wanton destruction.
