MPQ Rankings from an outside source

so found this in this my google feed(https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/ … r.html?a=1) decent writeups and they actually have played the game.

Thanks for the link! Definitely an interesting read. Don’t agree with each exact rank but that’s totally subjective; the descriptions are pretty spot-on though.

He ranks a few of them based on looks alone (Blade 4*, for example), and I’m not sure how that places them in the rankings… although I guess Cho’s totally awesome hairdo is enough for a totally awesome placement.

Pretty informed descriptions overall though, it was a fun read.

For the 3*s and up I find his rankings sketchy, but I can see why he ranks some of them based on his roster screencaps. icon_e_smile.gif

Since good ole Brad is part of the S.H.I.E.L.D family and in S.H.I.E.L.D specifically, we all tried to adjust the rankings. However, as stated character rankings are very subjective. I would move a few around but the writeups are great. All in all he did a fine job.

I noticed those wrong builds too…mentioned it to him in our line chat.

Heh, didn’t notice he was shield. But it’s true that different characters play better or worse at various stages in roster development.

His 4* rankings are a bit sketchy. Iceman is a clear #1, but to have Thor and Deadpool ahead of RHulk, Punisher and Cyclops? Guess it’s personal taste.

Don’t be crazy. Peggy is the clear #1.

Sorry, but no.
Iceman has better damage/AP ratios, self acceleration and the most reliable stun ability in the game.
Peggy’s passive is nice, but it’s not enough to dethrone the Creepsicle.

I agree. I would quibble with the placement of several characters (e.g. elektra; i have a soft spot for her too, but her skillset is just too specific to have a ton of value in this game). But the write-ups are almost all on point and demonstrate an understanding of game and characters. A nice read.

4 and 5* rankings are both a bit of a mess. Reads like he’s in the ~4* level. Elektra, Wasp, Kate Bishop, Bolt, IM46 are notably out of whack, among others, IMO

It’s a tough choice but overall peggys passive is useful in all situations and she has a big stun on her blue just not the targeted enemy.

I really want a character who has a passive to always be out in front and reduce enemy ability damage (like collosus but better) Would be good to see something a little different in support roles. Cage was a good start with his fortified tiles but you have to build that defense up.
