Sentry-Hood-Daken is now 99% in every team over 900. Fighting the exact same team composition up to 1300 or whatever is not my idea of fun. What's more important is HOW the nerf is done. I'm not going to ramble, but basically: 2* Wolverine and Thor nerf, CMag nerf = good nerfs. Spider-Man and Ragnarok nerf = bad nerfs! Bad!

If a character is perceived to be too powerful, then another character can be invented to off set those powers. I now have Sentry at 3-3-4. Now I have to spend energy/money to complete the character. What incentive do I have to do that, when demiurge Al or "Ice" or any of the rest of that bunch decides that Sentry is too powerful. Upgrade characters at your own risk!! Truly, "nerfing" characters has to do with forcing players to invest in new players. Also, Classic Magneto had the ability to place and overwrite two tiles. Demiurge wanted to remove that ability so that the player would take more damage. Plain and simple. Withhold all financial support. Do not buy any covers, shields or health packs!!

As far as nerfing goes I would say yes... where appropriate heroes should be nerfed HOWEVER D3 have proven to be plain bad at rebalancing heroes. When they nerf heroes they have in almost all cases made those heroes bad enough to no longer be of any real use... Loki, Rags, Spiderman and 1* storm are all pretty clear cut cases. Tiny Wolvie pretty much disappeared overnight and with 2* Daken being able to reach the 2* level cap now he might join Moonstone in frequency of use because he is behind other similar heroes with no unique hook to get him used. C.Mags is also, IMO, functionally useless after every single one of his powers got hit hard all at once (I don't even worry about letting the AI fire off his blue when I (rarely) face him now because the damage is inevitably pathetic from the AI having had to match away one of the powers it needs to swap to use the power in the first place). There is pretty much no reason to use him that I can think of with a lsow to get going protect generator and 2 mediocre single target nukes. The only nerfs I can think of off the top of my head where the hero remained useful are C.Storm, 2* Thor and 3* Daken. I guess i'll also go for BP but, IMO, it required the buff to his yellow to get him back into contention for use. So, IMO, they are below 50:50 when it comes to their ability to nerf a hero without making them garbage which somewhat fits with the fact they are still releasing new heroes that are utter trash (Hello Beast!!). When they take people's money to directly boost a given hero they need to do a much MUCH better job with rebalancing them IMO.
BozKoh wrote: Nerfing IMHO is 100% = made this gaming system broken I read through this forum a bit. Previously Ragnarok, & recently CMag were requested to be nerfed (sorry if I was wrong). So devs went through & done (then whining started). Spiderman, CStorm, 2* Wolverine & others I'm not sure. & now they started to talk about Sentry because well Sentry, Sentry, Sentry. But what if the characters were not being nerfed? Can Spiderman slow down Sentry = I think Yes Can Ragnarok counter Sentry = I think yes too AP boosts for me are to counter the low cost ap boosts characters when you facing them (which I think devs created these boosts originally). But the characters were already nerfed. Should AP boosts be gone? = I think not So what I see from the above if the gaming went back to pre-nerfed system. You will have a hell lot of rosters diversity that I couldn't imagine. & by that time I may actually searching to fight Sentry cause I got Spiderman, Ragnarok, CMag etc etc etc great characters combi. So what makes the game system broken? I am confused here but I don't think 100% devs fault anymore. & come to think of it, the original characters created pre-nerfed were actually great. I really hoped the devs will look into this & if the current trend kept on (nerfing Sentry), then it will be always be 1 sided who will be op/overused next after Sentry nerfed... If there was no nerfing = Balance of the force!!!
