I'll keep plugging away but it'll realistically be at least another week if not more. I'll post a new thread once it happens. Thanks for your patience! We have some new stuff in this version of the results so hopefully it will be worth the wait.

My personal opinion is that it would show the same results, and then we wouldn't need two votes but rather just two posts. I don't think there would be any surprise or even necessarily value in doing it, but it's worth considering.

IF the game were well balanced, then the split would be along the lines, then OBW wouldn't rank higher than MOST 3* characters (and Invisible Woman). Seeing that OBW is the most powerful 2* character says a lot of how awesome she is. Seeing that OBW is more powerful than many 3* characters says she's broken.

I know what's going on here ... he's sharing the results with his alliance members so they can get a head start on everyone else!Pst, hey guys! Consensus is that X-Force and Sentry are pretty good. Put some ISO into them before everyone else finds out!

He is better than Hulk, Captain Marvel, & Deadpool on offense not so good on defense. I'm not sure what the % should be for offense counting more than defense but in 40 battles in a pvp I'm attacked 5 to 10 times. That's 80% - 90% score impacted by wins against losses. No one can control how many points you lose while being attacked and maybe I get attacked less because of the level of the certain teams I use. The majority of the time you want the best offensive team you have climbing up the ranks. What to do with Human torch **** health, let someone tank for him (I didn't level mine up all the way with all of his covers Patch & Daken still tank for him). Maybe more people worry about defense than I know about but there is no way they should be weighed evenly in character rankings.

Doesn't fit with Sentry, Hulk, Thor or Cap. If you pair him with Hood or Deadpool, you're missing a tank. He is a good match with Daken and Black Panther, but ultimately he is pretty hard to match well in teams.
Look at any person's roster. Chances are they have a max level OBW. Not because she is better than having a max leveled 3 star, but because she was essential before 3 stars were available to most players.
