Or you hit an Event where the 2* is buffed and the 3* isn't. Quite a few reasons to keep a maxed 2* around, just like there are reasons to keep Iron Man (Model 35) around when you're using 3 141s.

Hawkeye's 'avoid' in that Cap would rush to the front of the team and defend attacks instead of jumping to the back and avoiding them. Give the new Cap a large health pool, some ability to make protect tiles and he can stand in for anyone: Noble Protector: Yellow (PASSIVE) If there are more than 12 red tiles on the board, Captain America rushes to the aid of his team, guarding incoming attacks Level 2: Requires 11 red tiles Level 3: Requires 10 red tiles Level 4: Requires 9 red tiles Level 5: Requires 8 red tiles or whatever; i'll let you experts balance it out more

I think it would make PvP a lot more interesting if you couldn't just hop in and target the team's weakest member and take them out first before having to deal with the Hulk or a Capt. America with a power like that. I know there are obviously issues with this regarding the strength of characters like Spidey or Classic Mags but if they ever get around to balancing characters to a more reasonable degree I think something like this would make both PvE and PvP even more interesting and increase the usefulness of a larger # of characters.

Curious to see how they tweak yellow and it would be cool ti me if his yellow protect tiles deflected a % of damage. 1 protect tile deflects 5%, 2 10%, 3 20%, etc... since blue spits out a protect tile, I hope yellow is more than just a reduction in AP.

The "lazy" component I'm most sad about is when an ability evolves just by reducing AP cost. It was striking me way too lame from the beginning. I'd expect every level bring some evolution in mechanics. And the 5th some really kicking addition you feel pain for not having.

I wonder if when the eventual balancing comes for Cap 2* if that will also affect Lazy Cap. It would be rather amusing if people started using the 2* over the 3* b/c his abilities end up being better.

radav wrote: What do you guys think would be a good amount of AP for his yellow ability? It's waaaay too high as it stands right now. Maybe it should work similarly to how Spider Man's Purple works or maybe just give it a low AP cost and a max number of protect tiles you can add. Otherwise even if all they did was shave a few AP off it would still be near useless.

Unless certainly someone comes out with another name that sounds and fits way better and it takes over.
