If Ultron isn't at least as good as Apocalypse or Hulk, he is also unusable trash. With boosted 5* it is not about 3-4 good characters it is about is the boosted character useful. Ultron will be useful when boosted This just isn't true. I wish it was.An Ultron boosted to 550 will be about as good as a 450 Apocalypse.

An Ultron boosted will get more play in PVP than an un boosted Apocalypse. Any 2nd tier 5* gets played more in PVP when boosted. SW/Colossus would be the PVP meta if there were no boosted characters. Now with Boosted 5* there are typically one to 2 5* that will be played in PVP over the regular meta.
HoundofShadow said: It's more likely they don't have a lot of champed 5*, that's why they are using their other better options. In most boost weeks, I have only or two champed. In week 17 boost list, I have 0 champed.

Amazingly enough I still saw a lot of BB and even some GR in PVP not just Okoye in Web 2.0. Last week boost for PVP was cap only and combined arms. Boosted 5* get played in PVP. You might not choose to do it but they get played.
atomzed said: Entrail, your problem is 2-fold. Your MMR is skewed with certain of your 5* being 550 AND not all 5* are created equal. We talked about the second part quite a lot so I won’t dwell on it again. For the MMR, I think there’s a lot of scope for D3 to fine tune it so that players at your MMR have a better experience. At my baby champ MMR level, I have a wide selection of teams to choose from, especially with the boosted 5*. It’s been a more pleasant experience for me. For your case I can imagine it being much worse since you only have a few 550, and it doesn’t match up to those with the newer 5*.

You might not choose to do it but they get played. It just depends on the character and also the required, in some rare cases. It might've been interesting to see if people used a boosted Parker had he been boosted during Web 2.0. With Miles flooding the board with web tiles and hiding, Parker's boosted green and red would probably hit like a truck. It would be nice if they put that kind of thought into it. I don't look at Ultron as particularly viable boosted, but maybe I'm wrong. Like I said before, a double-dip from him and Kitty might get ugly, especially if they are both boosted. He might also be fun to play boosted with Hela, since she's got a nice buff when you down an enemy. But if he doesn't have a good duo partner that week, he's definitely not one you're gonna force.
