(of one million suns) I totally get that he won't get playtime for established rosters due to lacking combo potential, sustainability, and consistent speed... but that's the lot of characters in the game anyway. Transitioners could do a lot worse. Those calling for a buff... why? He's not really fun or interesting to play against. Do you really want to see more of them in PvP?

The big difference would be that Sentry would still have a hefty health pack toll, whereas TGT/XF is slower, but more dependable, so to speak. Because of cooldowns, especially, I doubt he'd be played. If anything, he'd be used to challenge over-scaled PvE nodes.

Would the end game PvP still be 4-thor and X-force, or would we see some unholy combinations of all of the above? Along those lines, if you could take the most powerful/broken version of any character, and pair them with any released version of any other character, what team composition would you pick? If I recall correctly RoTP used to do 20% or so more damage before they balanced BP. If that's not already a thread, it would be a good one in character discussion - a history of nerfs/buffs (and general consensus on its impact), as sort of a continually updated rise and fall of the most powerful.

The lead team would be cmags FT for sure. Not even rags red+xforce would be able to keep up with that kind of stunlock and AP generation

Xforce + Thor Xforce + Hood/Loki Thor + Hood/Loki Patch + Hulk There are some incomplete teams that may throw out a 3 star like Captain America or something, but in general you'll see those 4 teams. If Sentry were unnerfed, you'd see 5 teams. That'd be the only real difference. Sentry would still be a terrible climber. But quick kills will never not be beneficial, even at the expense of health. Patch Hulk's prominence proves that.

If we're assuming the sort of boosting that made pre-nerf Ragnarok such a problem, then Thunderclapping into X-Force(s) would probably still get you where you're going. Let's not forget how fast and sustainable Robo-Thor used to be. You could throw broken CMAGS into position three to give you cheap blue outlets and complete your rainbow (as he used to be purple), though I think Thunderclap/X-Force (and the associated cascades) would still do most of your heavy lifting.

What if the Punisher had killed Daredevil? What if the Marvel Super Heroes had lost Atlantis Attacks? What if the Fantastic Four had lost the trial of Galactus? What if the Vision of the Avengers conquered the world? Yes, Im slightly off topic....
