    If there are still new players coming in then small amounts of effort in lower tiers are worth it, but since Vision was in the movies and there was the awesome series with his family, you could revamp him and then do alternate art as part of promoting.


    Making Density Heavy/Light a toggle mode is genius, that was obviously the idea but they didn't have the background structure for doing that worked out yet. But because they have it on multiple characters now it might not be much work to code.

    I only mention it because, even though I have huge tier 4 and 5 collections, he's the one I'm ALWAYS really really annoyed to play when it pops up in Deadpools Daily.

    I haven't actually hit that much yet, but it always circles around that style. Carnage/Medusa is the most common annoying combo that I've seen and almost everyone has that, what else they can add to it to abuse things varies.

    Carnage by himself seems balanced, but he's a huge free enabler for far too many people now.

    What's the answer to the ultimate broken team? It seems like it's not that obvious afterall.

    BRB and Bishop was correct.

    Good luck.

    Looking forward to seeing this team in Shield Simulator in the next season.

    What's the synergy between BRB and bishop? Just bishop creating a lot of blue for BRB to spam his cheap blue? Isn't that just Bishop being bishop with any cheap blue user? It also seems like BRB would be slightly counterproductive to bishop with his Shield tiles preventing Bishops passive to proc off of just 5 star match damage and allowing a 5 star to have enough time to gain AP to actually fire a power for once and take him down.

    People forget just how much Bishop does.

    Spam BRB's blue yes. Now every hit you take, more protects are generated.

    Remember Bishop's yellow power? Yes, his other passive.....spec it to 5 and every time there are 2 Protects on the board at the start of the turn, Bishop removes 2 and gains 3 blue AP.

    I assume you can see where this is going. All those protects being matched are giving more blue thanks to BRB's passive.

    People run this team over their 550s.

    BRB's blue gives you shields every time you take damage, Bishop turns those shields into blue to make BRB's blue effectively free.

    The real problem being BRB so cheap power for all the damage he does and all the tiles he can spam, considering he can gain blue ap extra by himself. Simply OP and yes, its unbalanced.

    Sinister/Bishop will be yet another auto skip. I won’t be surprised if it’s the worst one yet, although hard to top BRB/Bishop.

    I can’t decide if the cascade potential you get from WCap is going to be better or worse that Sinister/Bishop, but they’ll be bad I think.

    I mean they wouldn't be great, but at least Sinister burns black AP to prevent dmg vs blue. I'm a bit curious actually how they would work together or not, and which one would take precedence in terms of intercepting dmg.

    Yeah, this. BRB/PX or BRB/Bishop is -everywhere- now. It's practically impossible to stop AI from getting 6ap on a 5* anyway...having helpers that give the AI extra turns to accomplish this easy feat is just begging for extra long matches.

    BRB, like Kitty, needs this ability to fire every other turn starting on turn two not one. Having a limit on tiles wouldn't hurt feelings either.

    BRB is fine he’s doing exactly what he was designed to do. Not meta but damn handy on the roster. Yeah he’s a problem with bishop but then again most other fives are too with blue. I would bat an eyelid fighting him or JJ without him.

    There’s a video floating around Line, it’s bad. Sinister’s black only triggers at 5k or whatever, so Bishop acts as he usually does, but he’s harder to get rid of since you need a nuke and their team to have less than 3 black. You end up either stun locked or facing massive damage traps all over the place, on every color, set off by either team. You’ll never know where you’re at in that match, until you’re dead.

    So I guess we see the common element in two horrible teams.

    Sinister has new character boost going so let's not be too hasty though, wait a few days and see how it works then.

    Nothing wrong.....nope......just keep layering massive passives into the game.

    I hope no one was unclear as to why they have made PVP rewards so good. You need good incentives to wade into the mess they have made.

    Nerf Bishop, please and thank you


    I agree with this; I'd resisted for a long time, but with more and more characters having ridiculous synergy with him, it's got to be done. At least require his passive AP gain require the damage threshold to be crossed with ability damage, not match damage.

    I still have no issue with Gritty or Worthy. They are both easily countered; Worthy is ONLY a threat when paired with HE... even then he is easily countered (it's just tedious, not difficult).
