    Welp, this thread has made up my mind about which neglected 4* to focus on leveling....! SL was soooooo bad before that he, along with Chulk and IW, were the only 4*s I barely put any ISO into. It's nice to see that two of them (I think the jury's still a bit out on IW) have been totally rehabilitated into great characters.

    Very positive on Star Lord after the fine tuning. I FINALLY got his yellow, so he's now just 4/1/5, but leveled up to 146 he's already amazing in PVE nodes. More yellow covers will be great of course, but he still makes a big difference in time efficiency while playing.
    Pairing him with Strang3 and either Ant Man or another easy/cheap CD tile maker is great.
    My roster is heading toward my first two or three 4* champs soon, so I'm sure his usefulness depends on where your progress lies in the game.

    Starlord impressed a lot of people in that one heroic right after his rework with his really cheap red that is perfect for killing low scaled enemies that heroics have. Since then I have changed my mind and my opinion is that he still kind of stinks which is a shame because I have him champed.

    This game is all about hitting fast and hitting hard which is why battery characters are still so useful even if you're well past the 3* tier. Starlord is a reactive battery and isn't aggressive like Scarlet Witch who always has you sweating bullets. Unlike Rhulk, Hulk, Captain Marvel, even Xforce Deadpool's who can trigger their passive with match damage, Starlord must wait to eat an enemy ability first. No thanks, I plan on killing the entire enemy team before they can fire a power. This makes him stinky against anything other than goons. And if you're fighting goons, Scarlet Witch and IM40 are still better imo.

    Ruinate, does he stink, or is he now pve-only (which would be a huge improvement for him)?

    If we weren't playing a 5* game now, nouveau Star-Lord would rival Peggy for best 4*. However all credit due to the dev team for creating something wonderful from garbage.

    I'm not saying that he wasn't improved. Obviously he's better than he was. I see him as goon only and goons and mirror matches are the easiest parts of this game so I don't put much value into a goon specialist. They just aren't necessary.

    I will say that stacking cds with him is very fun way to play this game. It's unfortunate this game is based around repeatedly hitting the same nodes because after a while, novelty and fun becomes secondary to fast and efficient.
