In my level of play (2-3* transistion), he on a team that looks well covered is an automatic skip, as I'm going to take a ton of damage from his attack tile until I can kill him, which will take a decent amount of time and there's probably better targets I can take down. He's the OBW of his tier, except he actually attacks well too, and is scary on his lonesome instead of being something I feel like I can fight if I take him out first. The only argument for keeping him I see here is "4*s are way stronger anyways, 3*s aren't nearly as relevant anymore" which doesn't do a lot for me right now since I ain't sniffing any 4*s yet. "Buff literally everybody else" sounds more fun, but something about it feels kinda..eh I guess? I don't know what it is.

If you're having trouble with him without one of those major outlets, you're probably too early in the transition to be accurately assessing a 3*'s power relative to his tier. There are more dangerous Stand-Alone 3*'s, such as Thor. Develop your roster a bit more and see if you still feel the same about IF. If he is paired with those major outlets and you're basing your assessment on that, you should really be skipping heavily accelerated teams and 3+4 teams until you're similarly developed, and being a whole tier behind (2+3 vs 3+4) is probably painting your opinion of IF moreso than IF himself.

Instead of nerfing IF, how about buffing the least used 3*'s like IM/Spidey/Ock/SG/QS...this would benefit D3, since then folks would actually sink ISO into them!

I'd raise it to 6 AP and increase the damage proportionately. His passive is very good but doesn't need a nerf. As mentioned, the 3* health buff was already a stealth nerf.

The only thing that annoys me about IF's attack tile is that it made Pyslocke, Punisher's and other older character's attack tile become very inferior.

Their job will be to scour these topics and lock ban delete kthnxbai any user who dares use the Nerf-Word. Unless it is used with the proper respect and in proper context.
