I'd like to see their reasoning -- I actually think that reducing AP cost, done right, is a really interesting design because the differences as you decrease AP, especially at the low end, significantly change how the power plays.

I do too, Iit's from Marvel vs Capcom 1-2, I loved using Magneto in that game, he had a cheesy infinite combo, fun times at the arcade

In the current state of the game most on this topic have chosen to go with 5 3 5. I can see why: 5 Blue - makes the ability cost nothing so you can spam it into T, L etc as long as you got some blues around. 5 Purple - makes you one-shot pretty much any character in the game. 3 Red - the players with 3 in red very likely have a character with a much stronger red, or they did (Ragnarok), so not many players on here used this ability It all depends on your play style. Personally I built my Magneto several months ago and I chose to go 4 5 4, it fits my playstyle perfectly. 4 Blue - Allows me to use it as often as I'd like at a cost of 6AP, not exactly free of cost as 5 in blue, but close enough that am still able to use it pretty often 5 Red - Allows me to clear up a **** board until it suits me, the damage is a joke but when you paired him up with pre nerf Wolverine that 2AP cost Red and a bunch of strike tiles were no joke. Post Wolverine nerf I've since changed my play style to something I don't see in many other teams I'm up against in PvP and 5 Red suits that play style perfectly 4 Purple - Still deals a huge chunk of damage, not as insane as 5 in purple, but I find that 5 purple may be overkill. With my playstyle and team lineup I find that by the time I gather the 10 purple needed my target should be low enough in health that with just 4 in purple I should kill most characters not named Hulk or Ragnarok. Sure there are times when you get a starting board filled with purple tiles and 5 in purple would allow you to down a character ASAP but that, like most things in this game, is pretty random. Also the insane price change of boosts made it so very few players are going to start the match with 6 purples right off the bat TL;DR. Wait for the Magneto nerf if you can, though at the pace characters are being tuned it could either be 3 characters get nerfed this week or it could be just one in thr next 3 months, who knows, not sure how long you're willing to wait
