He was on the official kill list, but I still spent a ton of ISO on him in recent weeks since I like how he plays and he was/is buffed in multiple tourneys. His purple is one of the most damaging abilities in the game, but it's not that cheap. I could survive it if they increased the cost to 12, but then they better leave the damage alone. The blue is probably the most problematic, but it's very cruical for me to get through high level Maggia **** without spidey, since it can reliably and cheaply take out countdown tiles. I don't know how they want to balance it without making it useless. The red is super weak, but sometimes you get lucky and it opens up a completely stuck board. I really don't know how they could change him beyond making purple slightly more expensive without breaking him. They could buff the red's damage I guess

Purple isn't that crazy unless it's buffed. Red isn't anything special. Blue is the only big issue. A lot of people believe tile strength will be increased and definitely the ap cost. I think they will probably do more drastic changes than this though. Not necessarily for better or worse but no cheap blue on offense.

I've compiled a list of abbreviations here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3600 I agree that MHE is weird, but I'll add mHawk to the list!

Thorverine wasnt balanced (wasnt a nerf as they are actually still higher tier 2*s) because of overuse, they were just not in line with where the devs felt powers should be. That is the reason Mag/Spidey/OBW need balancing (again NOT nerfing!), they all have a very powerful skill that is cheap and therefore not in line with the "standard."

Considering pumping all my iso (30k) into him right now so that I can have fun with a 100 OP Mags for a while... I don't think putting that iso into C. Storm or someone from 6 to 50 would be as impactful as getting mags up to 100.

I figure the ability to win games as soon as you have 5 blue is worth it even for a short term gain and I doubt he'll become unusable even in the worst case.

Yeah, I leveled him up to 95, and am planning on getting him to 100 before the balance changes. I think I'm just going to level most 3*s to 100 and spread out my iso, with the exception of black panther whom im getting to 141 as soon as I can get my hands on his covers.
