Scarlet Witch has been nerfed by 5* Jane and Chasm. The destruction of tiles from Jane gets her repeater at the beginning of your turn. Then you just kill her. Chasm won’t let her put out her repeater turn 1 and will continue to keep her from being effective. The devs did exactly what they should by designing counters instead of nerfing.
Considering that you just hit my 550 apocalypse and Wanda boosted to almost lvl 600 four times in a row with an un boosted baby champ shang chi and unboosted baby champ mighty thor it seems like you’re greatly exaggerating how OP Wanda is.
Hillarious.
On pvp SIM there are already many baby champed Jthors, and I will lose for sure if I don’t kill her first with my advanceds apoc and wanda.
Open your mind, nerfing belongs to another era and another devs.
Thinking about this thread yesterday I decided to bring my 3/4/4 lvl 70 Oscorp Spider-Man in to PVP against all these boosted Wandas. It completely shuts down the repeater, however once it is locked she will create another one. I had as many as 3x enemy repeaters in play in a few matches. Pretty sure that’s a bug, i wouldn’t mind if somebody fixed that behavior. But otherwise wanda is fine, there are tools available.
I used to take down champed 5* BRB and some boosted 5* with two baby champed four stars in pvps. Should they be nerfed as well?
Anyway, there are many counters to Wanda Gamora was the first one and then we have Ultron. Shang Chi is one due to winfinite. Ghostpool is an underrated counter. Then, we have Dr Thor (+ Iceman). Chasm gives players an edge over Wanda on the first turn and he tanks, has high match damage and has revive. If not, you can always fall back to the classic stun for x turns and unleash.
I can still see nerfing being necessary - particularly if a character creates an interaction with another character that was unforeseen by the devs. And let’s face facts - Gambit (and Bishop, for that matter) was OP coming out the gate and everyone who saw him said so. They were absolutely nerfed too hard, but that’s beyond the point.
Neither of those things apply here, though. Wanda is a very good character, but she has some distinct weaknesses. She is the best overall support character in the game - particularly because she can fill in three good roles - creating a color, reducing enemy damage, boosting your own damage, but other than the second thing there are definitely better characters for that role. She isn’t OP, though, and nerfing her won’t help the game balance, just drive spenders from the game.
As noted above, if there’s any character that is OP it’s Shang-Chi, but he’s tinykitty on defense so honestly I don’t think he needs a nerf either. If the devs want to make sure that people can’t just stomp on a node, he’ll get the axe.
I have both Shang-Chi and Wanda champed and don’t think either is so OP as to need to be nerfed but if I did have to pick one of them as most OP it would be Shang who makes a huge difference in both PvE and PvP whereas Wanda is only a deterrent at best in PvP.
I really would like to see Bag-Man nerfed. I know he’s already useless but maybe add 2 more AP to each power.
Using 5* scarlet witch is one of the few times when you can watch the enemy get a ridiculous cascade and keep a smile on your face. It happened to me earlier against red hulk and it was a great feeling knowing that he was about to get wiped out by his own wanton destruction.
