I'm looking at the boosted 3's in Oscorp, and Storm's black, Cmag's blue, GSBW's green all do damage per AP similar to unboosted 4*s. And those aren't even great 3*s All of the skills you listed are some of the most damaging moves in the 3 star range... And I am pretty sure GSBW has slightly less healltg than IMHB. Slightly.

Here's the thing for me: I thought the whole idea for having weekly boosted characters was to (a) promote roster diversity and (b) provide a way for people still in a lower level tier to compete for a somewhat better reward (since everyone competes for the same rewards). Of course it also resulted in more health and longer matches... Now, with the nerf to 3* level 167-300 ability damage, and the buff in general to 4* (stronger at mid levels and stronger when champed/buffed), the second part of the reason for boosted is much weaker for the all important 3 -> 4* transitioning player (by far the most difficult transition in the game). As to the first - roster diversity - I see that as weakened as well. I'm much more likely now to bring my level 200 semi-covered 4* into battle then my buffed level 240+ champed 3* unless there is a niche/strategic reason to bring a particular 3* (eg IM40, SW, etc). I'm tired of beating a dead horse - Demiurge just wants to slow transitions and lengthen individual matches. It's what they always want to do. I will just have to hope that they loosen the strings on 4* cover acquisition (not to mention create more opportunity for ISO) - before my patience runs out and I tire of the game.

My posts "lack content," because you people are usually not worth the time, nor effort. You'll be alright, though. I promise. And, AS USUAL, I'll again ask you to put me on your ignore list, as I did with you, OVER a year ago. Goodness.

Now it is a case of if you don't like the 3* power levels you can either put up and shut up or leave. Any changes that have been made are working as intended so no further developer interaction is warranted, so this too shall pass. I am sure these changes are so that instead of players relying on a core team of characters they can utilise the full strength and diversity of their entire roster.
