With the ability to steal TU AP coming, there’s an opportunity here to balance a few characters. In some cases, TU stealing could effectively ruin a power (ok, just one: Bewilder).
I’ve also found that when dealing with highly effective AP stealers, matching TUs is a good strategy to try and recover from big AP losses. This is particularly important against OBW, who can easily lock out abilities for an entire game.
And since the AI only has one TU ability now, the need to steal TU AP seems less critical now. The AI, not the player will gain the most from stealing AP. Perhaps it’s not such a great idea after all.
Here are my thoughts:
Daredevil — Yes! His Radar Sense is way too expensive for what it does. Compare to OBW who can steal far more reliably and often (for less). He should steal TU AP for sure.
OBW — Maybe. But she’s already a beast. TUs may be the only way to recover after her first steal sets you back and sets her up for another steal.
Psylocke — No! Since the AI can only cast one TU ability, TU AP will accumulate massively, making it the only thing she will ever steal in any match. Once the player uses their TU abilities, Bewilder will really be worthless. Every match!
The Hood — Yes, I think so, maybe with Lvl 5.
Yelena and mWidow — Yes. Recon costs far more for them than for OBW. They might as well get a little extra AP out of it.
Did I miss anyone?
