God-boosted 5*s paving the way for character buffs?

Before the boost, something like 45 or 46 of the 50 5* needed to be buffed to be usable at all.  That was just never going to happen.

Now, almost everyone is usable when they're boosted.  There are a few guys that are so awful that even at +100 levels, they're *still* bad.  This would be Banner, Iron Man, Starlord, probably Wasp, probably Kingpin...maybe one or two others.

Since the number is so low I think it might actually be possible.  The problem is that these guys are so bad that they might need to be completely redone, but at least it's less work than redoing the entire tier.

No iron man was good back in the day.  He’d be usable depending on who qualifies as a teammate.  Kingpin could be a massive meat shield.

Personally the only ones I would rework are banner, wasp, rescue, and star load for sure.

it’s like they were built for some other mode that devs backtracked on

If Banner had Hulk reliably scale up to his boost level, I think we could take him off the list.

So...seems like there's general agreement with OP's premise, which is that most of the 5* are ok now but there are 1-4 guys that need adjusting before they're usable when boosted.  One way they can figure out who those guys are is to see who's not being used on their boost week.

That’s one way to approach it.

let the demonstration be its own proof

Either way, make it so you really don’t want that guy to transform into Hulk. 

I remember early on in my MP3 career I ended up in a PvP battle with Hulk. He transformed and I was o-bliterated. I was terrified of him for the next couple of years, at least. Well into 4* land. Obviously it was visceral fear but wow! was it ever well-founded. Now though, times have changed!

I mistakenly started pulling LLs when Th5r was still in LL with ghostrider and another (I was in 3star land. Maybe not even all of them champed).  

I pulled I think a red ghostrider cover and thought it was the best thing ever. Then I started to see Th5rs in PVP and thought he was the most broken thing ever.

I now don't fear th5rs and farm them. They are Puny Gods as Hulk said himself.

Kingpin has his week to shine! Sadly for him they chose Apocalypse as a running mate! I wonder who will get more use?

I'm going to try running my old buddy Fi5k, at least for a bit. I imagine prioritizing his black with either Colossus or Scarlet Witch (probably better since they don't really compete for active colors) will make for a highly obnoxious defensive team. But it's going to be hard to compete with IcePocalypse and it's stun immunity/power boosting/damage absorbtion. That team is going to wreck.

Looks like...453 base level with 440 shards on deck. I had to check because I almost never run him lol. I'll be in Slice one, I'll see you in the streets lol

I dont think the usage of 5*s could be used for to set the layground for a rebalance, as there are just 4 5*s per week.
So people will use in first place, the character they have. In second place, if they have 3, the 2 best character more leveled or at least the 2 more sinergyed, rainbow color, etc...
And third if they have them at low levels or if they are too bad, not using them.

Too hard to analyze all that for them. 

No, the best and easy way for them to gauge the impact of those 5*s is reading our feedback. 
They must already know wich characters are desperately bad and needing a rebalance, if they are interested in doing so.

Personally I think they should be glad with the relative success of the addition and they will only adress their resources to create new characters.
