A long time ago, I did polls for which characters were the most/least fun to play. Back then, Mags had a fantastic and slightly-too-powerful Blue skill, allowing him to change 2 tiles to
for 5
. He could set up lots of 4 and 5 matches. He also had a cheap Red and a powerful Purple. He was picked as the Most Fun to Play. Spiderman was picked the least fun to play.
It’s time to redo those polls, but there’s a 15-item poll limit, and I want to make sure that characters that people enjoy playing are on the list. Here’s my current list of fun-to-play characters:
Most Fun
Kingpin, Professor X, X-Force
Captain America, Cyclops, Daredevil, Falcon, Iron Fist, Kamala Khan, Loki, Scarlet Witch
Ares, MN Mags, Storm 2
Least Fun
Devil Dino
Colossus, Doctor Octopus, Iron Man, Psylocke, Sentry, Spider-Man
Bullseye, Moonstone
This isn’t about the power of a character. Thor3 is powerful, but I don’t find him all that fun. What characters would you pick for your most fun / least fun?
I hate the length of time it takes to get the AP for those, especially with 3Thor and Kamala at the ready. When i bring her in, i rarely ever end up using a skill with her, fight is over before she is useful. Also, she is sitting at 3/5/3 for me right now…
Most Fun:
Luke Cage- I love punching people in the face
Daken- I enjoy the risk vs reward factor his character design
Patch- Same as Daken
Blade- When there’s red everywhere! Him and OBW destroyed lvl 395 goons today in a few rounds!
Steve Rogers- I am really enjoying throwing shields around!
Loki- I love the cheap board shake, stealing AP and turning the enemy tools against them
Mohawk- Most hate her but I rather enjoy using her against Goons and Survivor nodes. Her black is deadly, her green and yellow are board clearing fun.
Least Fun:
Spider-Man- He desperately needs an offensive power. I have more fun with Bullseye
Human Torch- He’s not bad and can be fun but I find myself never using him
Sentry- Even prior to his nerf, I didn’t enjoy hurting my own characters
Ironman 40- Waste of space
Rags- See above
Moonstone- I want to like her, but her pink is just too random to be useful and her black is too expensive
Deadpool- While I enjoy whaling, I find myself only using him once a day to earn DP coins.
So many people are down on Psylocke, but seldom if ever is it mentioned that she was the next best thing after Classic Magneto to pair with Patch. Her and Daken. Then, when you have 10 red, 12 black, and a few strike tiles on the board, you set off Berzerker Rage, and she combos everyone to death.
I love SuperSteve and GSBW. The strategy/control needed with them are great, and about as close to old CMag blue as we can get. Unfortunately both arent really viable for most matches because they take so long to ramp up.
