Moon Roach said: @Brigby, any chance you could pull together the usage figures for all characters for 2018? You can just PM them to me, no need to post them here.
Brigby said: Spudgutter said: Thanks for the response and initial info. Any peek behind the curtain is appreciated. Any chance for a smaller, more (assumedly) better time frame? Like the last six months of 2017? And maybe even include the entire 4* tier?I have no problems with rebalances, and can understand some may see each as positive or negative, as evidenced in this thread. But what i, and others, would really love to see, is maybe an explanation. Unfortunately, at the moment I'm unaware as to how to separate the data based on a specific star tier, as opposed to individual characters, but I can certainly show the last six months of 2017 for Thing, Invisible Woman, and Mr. Fantastic.6/1/17 - 12/31/17Thing - 2,924,119Invisible Woman - 2,909,663Mr. Fantastic - 1,882,239Now to be fair, I do want to give credit to those that mentioned the effect that event-featured characters have on usage rates, so please note that these are high-level values without any granular breakdowns involved. This is simply the information I have available at a given notice.Hope this helps!

That's true, but if I have the capability to provide some clarity, then I'm certainly not opposed to gathering some quick data for everyone.

Dormammu said: It's interesting to me how much Baglady gets used over Reed. I never use her unless she's essential. Not that she's a bad character, Sue certainly has utility, but she doesn't have the synergy Reed enjoys with several teams.Then again, Sue was like the second or third 4-star ever released, so her roster penetration is probably much higher.
ThaRoadWarrior said: I wonder how he plays with Flaptain? I may test it out lol. Special spam on yellow, passive blue, red nuke. *edit* ran this team with a champ Flaptain and a champ ghost rider against a random grockamora team in sim with my lvl 209 reed. It didn’t work lol. Then I went back in and took reed/EB Venom (5/5/2 lvl70)/ and Kraven up against a 3* team that came up- that went much better lol. I never used him before so I don’t have anything to compare to. I will say the tile locks look like sue’s Force bubbles more than bag-man’s locks. Do they function like that?

It would appear that the Locked tiles Mr. Fantastic's Imaginaut tile creates DO synergize with Invisible Woman's Green "Force Field Crush" ability."Imaginaut" creates Locked tiles.Activate "Force Field Crush"Locked tiles are removed, and the enemy is dealt damage.

Yeah, there was ZERO reason to tweak his Blue, it was his one good power.Why do they over-think almost every rework by messing with the powers that don't need fixing? You could always use Agent Coulson, if you're looking for another 4-Star that can swap tiles? You even get the benefit of those tiles becoming Charged too!
