What do you think? Iron Man went from being arguably the worst 3 star to arguably being the best, but did they go too far in buffing him. It’s a strange series of circumstances, probably tired of hearing the same endless complaints that there are 3 stars that are trash, they decided to update 3. Vision and Quicksilver were also boosted, but to such a minuscule degree that remained unnoticeable to the point that they are still in the bottom 10 (IMO) of 3 stars. Anyway, then there’s iron man, went from being a total joke to a fearsome support character. I don’t know the exact details of the change, but now he can generate a maximum of 36 AP for the cost of 6. So after that, Iron Man was the last 3 star to get buffed even though spiderman and friends are still trash. So what do you think? Did they go too far, or did iron man deserve this treatment after being as worthless as a battery with 1% life?
Personally, I’ll always be bitter I trashed my 11 cover Iron Man like a week before the change was announced, but still, I think it’s a bit much. It’s too difficult to starve just 2 yellow matches from the enemy, and the powers they fire off then are real health pack drainers, so yeah, I’m not too keen on the change.
No, not at all. Iron man is marvels most popular character and this makes up for.not having a viable 2 star version or hulkbuster that is extremely hard to get covered.
Looking at it from a pure game design perspective, yes Iron Man is way too powerful compared to the other 3-star characters.
Looking at it from an MPQ perspective, we all know the devs can’t balance the characters to save their lives and this game will never be balanced, so I’m happy that they at least made a useful character, since 85% of the characters in the game you wouldn’t even think twice about using if they are not buffed.
Why even bring this topic up, it’s like you want to draw attention to him being a great character now, so he’ll get nerfed cause we’re having fun with him.
You would know if they did because he would be dominating pvp, and he doesn’t do that. The teams he enables tend to be teams that are mediocre on defense, which makes him a character for shield hopping and pve only, really. That is a perfectly reasonable niche for a character to have.
More importantly, his existence makes slower characters more viable, which is important for diversity.
Nah, if you remove his yellow, do you ever roster him? He has one good ability, and two expensive ones. If you can block yellow, match the recharge tiles (even just one), or stun IM, you’ve reduced him to nothing.
I’m in the no group. He’s really useful at times, but when you hit a board with no yellow, or the countdowns get matched away he suddenly becomes junk. Iron Fist is still far more reliable as a booster for a partner.
I’m thinking of trying goblin/Four Thor and IM40 for reliability, but it’s still not a dominant build in most situations. The computer won’t play it right in PvP and Charlie’s ANgels is still better in PvE.
But I would imaging if I didn’t have the collection I had then there would be a point where IM40 could be a dominant character. And that’s a very good thing. Having different characters dominate different stages of progression is a desirable trait in my opinion.
To the OP, who you rather have on your team, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Cyclops or Iron Man? All are at the same level and optimally covered. Most players I think would probably opt for Cyclops I imagine.
As has already been stated it is a character with 1 decent move (that has a serious drawback) and 2 other very expensive move that will never be used.
You think making one topic on the board mentioning how a character might need a nerf is enough to actually have the developers do something about it? Your naïveté is adorable. Thank you for inferring that I have some magical and extraordinary power around here, now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to make a topic encouraging bagman to become the most powerful character in the game, and we’ll just see what happens with that.
Nope. Any time the 3* can be a bit relevant again, I like it. Make Psylock OP, let her see play! In deep 4* land I’d immediately hit any team that I see running 3* IM.
I’m not saying your one topic is enough, or that you’re opinion I’d all powerful (ego, much?), but why draw attention to something that doesn’t need it. The game is known for developers nerfing powerful characters that benefit players. They read this forum…your topic and then the next topic on it by the next random posters starts putting ideas in their heads.
Don’t be piss cause someone thinks your thread is counter productive.
