zodiac339 said: It took me a bit to realize the wording on his yellow is to covert enemy “special” tiles, not attack/strike/protect tiles. If he’s also converting countdown and invisible tiles, it would explain why the protect tiles he makes have a specific value.
ThaRoadWarrior said: First impressions of Bishop:· His actual cover in the roster screen is fun (got a red one from ST)· Animations were a little weak· Cheap stun was reasonably effective on blue· In the Shield Training loaner matchup, I was completely unable to fire off his yellow due to board conditions never being met - seems like this would have been a place where Carnage would finally have been appropriate even though he has been a slayer of new releases in past shield trainings· I didn't see any particular synergy with the required wingmen here, and as is so often the case Bishop died mid-match and left the rest to a lvl 217 Bl4de and 273 Frost to finish up*edit* - I went back and played again, specifically letting Angel live long enough to make some specials this time - it would be really nice if Bishop had some sort of health regen ability, maybe tied to that Yellow like a reverse DareDevil (Matt Murdock) - every time he removes the protect tiles he gets some health back. He seems like a guaranteed health pack burn at this moment to me
gentgeen said: Now with Bishop, we have gotten 17 new 4* characters in the last 365 days. (Hulk released 11/15/17 - and not counting Taskmaster since he is a 'limited' ). Of those 17 new characters, ONLY Nebula does not have a passive. The trend of Passive is really getting old IMHO -- and the number of passives added on like Bishop's that basically give the character a 4th power also seems to be running rampid. At least in the past the benefit of a passive was countered with the LOSS of one of the 3 power.

ThaRoadWarrior said: DeNappa said: Not sure about giving him a heal mechanic too, sounds like that would make him OP. OP? He does no damage and just kind of dies every match...Wiccan's heal doesn't really keep him alive very well even champed at 5 covers, but at least he has teeth to go with it. I think tying Bishop's heal to his not-always-possible yellow active isn't too bad
ThaRoadWarrior said: It just gives him the Lockjaw problem. Most of the other Jump-in-Fronts come with some kind of damage mitigation - Lockjaw can reduce up to 100% of it if there is a friendly special included-D3adpool makes a healing countdown to reduce it a bit-Spider-Woman can reduce up to 100% of it-Colossus can reduce it by 50% and can further benefit from defend tiles-Thing makes some wild defense tiles-Wiccan reduces it if it's power damage AND has a true heal to go with it-Rogue reduces most of it as long as her team is alive and can further benefit from defend tiles-Bishop just...eats it and dies

I think its meant so on defense you can't just try and avoid him until you can one shot him. He's gonna get hit but he'll hit you back.
