Hulk/sentry.. Hulk/hood.. Pun/ mag.. Didnt matter.. Been hit all day long.. 150-200 pts by wave.. I clawed back again and again.. Been greyed out again in the process.. Finally i crossed the 1000 pts plateau and shielded.. 2 hop later and some xmen as roadblock i put my final shield.. On to the next pvp..

Occasionally I got 12Yellow, so it was like a bonus medpack. Not to mention that 3-4 times I used stun instead of CMags' Blue. Of course there are better characters than Spider-Man. But he wasn't a balast, as it often happens in PvP ( *coughmororocough* ).

But if I have a choice, he won't make my A, B or even C-Team. Those defensive tiles can annoy the tinykitty out of you, though.

The new Spidey is not bad a defensive specialist (as mentioned, the reduction of match damage to 1 is quite useful). But, he falls into the same awkward boat as Psylocke does. On a limited roster of 2, there is simply no room for a support character and support characters do not perform well on a team of 2 in this game. But, on a team of 3, he demonstrates significant potential. As such, he will be a useful PvE character down the road, limiting match damage of level 200+ enemies to tolerable levels needed to ensure a match lasts long enough for a win (especially once CMags blue is nerfed). Once the quick game is gone, he will be useful for ensuring that everyone survives long enough win the long game.

I retreat tanked to push one of my alliance members out of the no-node MMR buckets, but in the couple minutes it took to do another fight, I lost 400 points, and even an hour later I'm still getting random hits from random 2* teams

One has lost over 400 points and the other over 600. They are saying that not only does retreating put in the tank team used, but it also generates a free retaliation against you for the person you retreated from, resulting in literally double jeopardy. Combined with the retreating team becoming the defensive team, this is causing quite a nightmare.

But I only did it b/c u are in my bracket, and I was able verify that u were shielded (@ #1! nice of course ) before I did the hit! Thanks to u I'm comfortably in the top 5 for all 3 Torch covers! ( there's no way my family/Alliance would ever hit top 100 for any Alliance cover, they're too casual! )
