    He's fine the way he is.
    Thanos is indeed powerful but I've never had trouble hitting him. He is pretty slow so he isn' too bad. Panthos is annoying but even then, it' not unbeatable at all.

    In no way does Thanos need a nerf. Easily played around

    Please nerf him asap (or at least soon).
    he needs a nerf.  just lower the court death damage and remove the stun afterwards.  its unfair that after killing the weak link (i.e. 3*) ur remainig characters are nuked AND stunned.  no way to recover after...

    also his high aoe green damage + high post aoe damage ( worse if his aoe kills 2 enemies triigering 2x court death) means he is OP in PVE.  35 to 40 min clears vs 1hr plus for nonThanos users is huge.

    i agree gambit needs a nerfing... buuut... i dont wanna go back to the panthos meta afterwards pls.

    No he doesn't. The self-damage and stun make up somewhat for decimating your enemies. It forces you to use healthpacks, especially in PvP, which serves as a check to steamrolling everyone with Thanos. Gambit does not have such checks in place. The only reason I haven't used as much healthpacks as I should have, is because I team Thanos up with Surfer, who can heal from the damage.

    Yea his Green does awesome damage...after three turns. And it's not a Fortified tile either. You'd be surprised how often a non-Fortified countdown tile gets matched away or destroyed. In effect, having to wait out those three turns and protecting the countdown tile balances out the massive damage. And once again, Gambit has no such checks.

    Summary: Thanos does not need a nerf. Gambit sure as heck does, especially after the pathetic attempt at balancing him.

    if you can name another character that can speed up PVE clear times like thanos then we can say theeres competitive balance there.   there was one that did... Gambatt.  but he got nerfed already.

    also healthpack usage is not a 'balancing' tool in pve/pvp. i use healthpacks too most of the time i fight panthos teams.

    pray enlighten me then how to improve clear times with just 4rng.

    oh yeah... add 5thanos!   coz thats kinda how i improved clear times in the easy nodes...  add 4rng + 3thanos + any 5 star.  i can imagine how much better if i replaced the 3thanos with a 5thanos

    i got oml surfer phx and im46.   none of those can compete in pve w thanos.

    i did a check 8 out of top 10 in my leaderboard have champ thanos.  1 has him at 4 4 4.  the lone one without a thanos had champed DD.  so maybe theres a new toon... that can compete now.  bit thats an IF cos he doesnt have an AOE.

    i definitely know our top pve alliance leans a lot on thanos...  ive never heard any comments like 'Wow, 《non-5thanos user》 rocks in PVE! 40 min clear times!'

    Visions of two sad toons chained in Bowgentle's basement, trying to continue on the meager portions of thin gruel he allows them.
