    I don't think we're done with them, no. Wasn't there a big gap of time before Dr. Strange came along and whatever 3-star came before him? We're bound to have another one.

    I don't remember the devs saying that Angel is the last 3 star. So, the possibility is there that Angel might not be the last 3 star. There are probably a few more years of MPQ and it's impossible to guarantee that Angel is the last 3 star.

    I hope it was the last one. Add little to the tier or the game now. There’s more than enough 3 stars to keep new players busy and I’m sure they don’t need more roster slot demand.

    I sure hope so. I've been done with the tier for ages and I have to imagine it goes pretty fast for a new player now too.

    Plus I always found the 5*/3* releases to be kind of annoying. "Here's another incredibly difficult to attain character, plus their cheesy weakling counterpart that you'll have to dump ISO into to keep your champ farm complete."

    TBH I don’t mind 3*.  Easy to champ.  Feeders 4*.  It annoys me about the roster slots.

    When did they stop vaulting 3* characters?  Back when tokens were only giving half the 3* characters, new characters helped keep the list fresh and stopped people from "finishing" the tier.  With no latest/vintage distinction, perhaps they don't consider new 3* characters worth it?

    Almost certain that Gambit and Angel were after 3* vaulting was ended. I think Elektra too, but I'm not as sure.

    I have all 47 threestars maxchamped now. I certainly wouldn't mind a 48th threestar, I don't really know what to do with my 3* bonus heroes now.

    Adding 3* characters  is a good thing for players in that tier and below because it gives them the feeling that the game has new content for them at that level. Also, having additional 3* for PvP is probably also good if we are not going to get 4* Pvp outside of special events.

    Daredevil/Elektra came out late August 2017, I believe Vaulting changed to the 12 latest/Rest are Vintage system early August 2017.

    I was a little shocked that Angel came out as a double-feeder in his champ rewards. 3lektra made sense to a point, but it was a pretty wasted opportunity to get some of the other 4*s on that list.

    As we get to utilize cover saving more in the age of mega dilution, I could see them adding more 3*s. The sheer amount of 3*s rewarded per event make it easy to cover them. As more of the playerbase ends up with max champ 3*s, and unchamped dupes with tons of saved covers, they might decide we need more places to spend resources.
    If we are making guesses, I would say 3/5 Mysterio for the next spiderman movie. Could do a classic version and movie version. Thats about a year away tho. I dunno

    I've champed every 3-star, plus a dupe for each one except latest 3 (Elektra, Gambit, Angel). I'm not eager to add another one to the list, but if they have a solid impact on the game I can't complain. I use Strange, Thanos, and Hawkeye pretty frequently, even with a deep 4-star roster. They're easy enough to cover, and at this point saving 127K ISO is but a trifle. I would just prefer that they make them into feeders for some of these newer 4s, if pack odds are going to stay the same way they are.

    Personally I just leave all my 3s unfavorited. You just get random covers when you get a BH that way.

    I sure hope so.
    I also hope we're gonna be done with 4*s soon.

    Much rather seem them rework some 3s to be mini-4s and make them more usable...  OR...  just make heroic tokens 3* or high, no 2s.  That way, you can max out your 3s faster, and when boosted, get them in there.

    I'm sorry, but the 3/4 pull rate in Heroics is terrible.  My season 10 pack was 2x3, rest 2s.  That's just disgusting.

    I'm looking forward to using my 266 strang3 for boosted for the first time :smile:
