I see a character who was complete trash tier before, extremely confusing and complicated to use, with some unique and fun (if bad) abilities.The new version is a little better, I guess? But still trash tier and I’m not sure he leapfrogs a single other 5* in the rankings. He’s also still incredibly complicated, but loses some of his unique abilities and interactions.Not one of his ability changes is an unconditional buff. Every improvement comes with a trade off. Why? Why not some straight up buffs with no downside instead of getting cute with this? This is not a character in danger of becoming the next Gambit. His green has been completely buffed, because now you can actually play it.

As the tentacles are not fortified, if you're very lucky, you'll have 2 tentacles out for maybe a few turns because as you make more match-4's, you end up taking out your own tentacles. Not to mention the enemy team which will also take them out... This is... better? No idea but its sure difficult to keep those tentacles out. Stun immunity... whatever.
King_Koopa54326 said: I just encountered a 5 star doc oc issue. I had two tentacle tiles on the board and i downed an enemy with 5 star thanos on my team. Court death kicked and doc oc became stunned. With the blue ability description , that should not have occurred. Am i misreading the ability or is thanos an exception? Will cross post
tiomono said: I was actually trying to get doc ock before this rework. His black synergised really well with 5* daredevil since it would keep the character in front stunned for 3 turns. Now it's a 1 turn stun which is just really frustrating. Why when reworking a character that by and large people saw as bad do you take away the only positive they had? The burst heal on his green means daredevil puts out less specials overall since it continually pushes him above half health.Oh well I guess. Now instead of fitting on one niche team for me he can now perform in a wider range of teams. It just stinks that the role I was interested in having him for is now gone.
sinnerjfl said: I don't find the reduction in cost all that useful to be honest. Some matches, you can barely get a match-4 so that component becomes useless. Having 4 tentacles out on the board almost never happens so whats the point?This all looks great in theory until you actually try to keep tentacles alive on the board. Your own matches and the opponent remove them all the time.
Phumade said: I see your point about tentacles, but making match 4 is strong point for human players. That’s a skill recog issue. From personal play it feels like there are p,entry of match 4 chances. I dint think that was a bad limitation.for me the lack of fortification on the black cd was a problem. Rarely got it to resolve quickly. There might be parings that resolve it, but it sorta limits black for me

There might be parings that resolve it, but it sorta limits black for me Match-4's are available yes, but they do shake up the board a lot and tentacles are not fortified.Black should be fortified now... but it's not. So that leaves you with options that might also fortify green which negates the damage portion of the whole power, sigh.
