    The first non-3/5 release in a while is Sam. Not the best timing.

    I'm confused. Why is this not the best timing? The movie comes out next week. We didn't even have a 5* two months ago. And there already is a 3* Sam Wilson. Am I missing something? Thanks.

    It's because he's black. The very first character (in a long time) that didn't get a 3/5 simultaneous release is the black guy. He's also one of the first releases after they nixed cover swaps for the elites to get an immediate 550.

    Again, I am NOT calling the devs racist. I am simply pointing out that the timing didn't sync up well.

    Just rephrasing you @Borstock : "I'm not calling them racist, I'm just saying that through the prism of my virtuous racist vision of the world they can be seen as racist. I will put several time "racist" and "dev" in the same sentence so people understand what I want to say but I dont say it."

    Bro just stop the ****, and stop judging gatcha game characters by their skin color.

    I'm still incensed that they changed Ariel the little mermaids hair colour, as a ginger I find it offensive
    I wrote them an angry note

    I called it poor timing. I don't think the devs are racist. I am a little surprised that no one thought of it, though. They could've picked a different character just to avoid even the appearance of something amiss.

    I didn't say you were making that accusation and i agreed with your sentiment today it should have been considered to avoid the perception.

    I don't think you're calling them racist...I just don't think any rational person should view this as a reason to do so either.

    Apologies if their was a misunderstanding there.

    Your interpretation of what I said is incorrect. Furthermore, I was done with this conversation. Someone asked me for clarification, so I gave it. I'm not in the habit of repeating myself for effect.

    It's possible I misunderstood you. You have my apologies for my part.

    Played against a lot of Polaris/brb in pvp recently. If Sam's blue plays how we all think, he should be a nice counter for that pair. Two different sap tiles plus whatever your three are bringing to the table.

    You'll get some new costumes and a minor buff to the thing and you'll like it!

    Don't forget the 5th rebalance of Mr F. They'll lower the cost of his powers but change that one thing he does great... just kidding, he still terrible.

    Can anyone confirm if they have temporarily changed the rewards for 4a5 Sam Wilson. Trying to decide whether to ascend early (ie. before max max). What do the rewards look like for 451, 452, etc. I'm sure this info is in the forum somewhere but can't find it.

    Feeders are:

    4* Sam Wilson > 5* Sam Wilson - Brave New World primary and 5* Heimdall secondary.

    4* Annihilius > 5* Heimdall primary and 5* Dr. Doom secondary.

    Are the temporary Ascended rewards there too?

    4* Flaptain plus a dupe at 286 should do it. You get 6 covers from the 370, 1 from the dupe at 280, and ascended they get to 454 (6 covers worth) = 13 covers.

    I try to get mine to 290 minimum as that's an extra LT from the dupe and an extra cover from the ascended rewards, which gives another LT. My dupe Flaptain was 302, so mine is now level 453.
