    I mostly agree, but some notable changes for me would be:
    I'd move Black Widow and Venom up a lot.
    Ghost Spider up a bit.
    I'd move down Rogue down a bit.
    Star Lord and Nova down a lot.

    My Top 5 would be...
    1. Magick - She's just got a lot of fun stuff in her kit, but like you said she can just do any aspect in fun ways.
    2. Scarlet Witch - She's my favorite of the risk/reward kind of builds. Yes, the risk is minimal by churning through (mostly) the encounter deck faster. But, she's great.
    3. Nebula - I love that build up of a couple techniques and then trigger them the next turn gameplay. I've liked it since she was released, and it still hasn't got old.
    4. X-23 - She's my favorite damage output character. I just enjoy that readying and using HP as a resource, and her signature ally leaning into what she already wants to be doing is great.
    5. Storm - I love the flexibility she brings to multiplayer games. She can boost everyone, and then change the weather to reduce incoming damage. She's got great cards, and she's fun in a lot of aspects.
    The hero that I love that's dropped for me over time is Black Widow. I love the preparation gameplay, but they're just not providing enough cards with that keyword. I'm hoping this next SHIELD wave brings in some prepartion and spy cards to open up her deck building more.
    The hero that's grown on me the most is She-Hulk. Between the cards that help build her and the new ruling, she's pretty great. In particular, I love that the ruling makes her a bruiser when it comes to Stalwart villains. I just imagine her breaking the 4th wall saying, "I bet you wish you could be stunned now."

    • @VillainTheory

This might be easy to say and harder to do but let the negatives go past, try not to let them stick with you, some people are out to judge everyone's motives as bad.

    Really great to see your thoughts on this. I have no qualms with much on the list and I too find myself reaching for cable Psylocke and storm. I have a few of your lower tier heroes up higher (captain America and Phoenix) but any two people agreeing on every placement has an astronomically low probability… :)
    One of the things I was thinking about as I watched this was whether or not there was a general evolution of these lists. As we play the game more do we begin to value complexity over power. I suspect if you ask beginner players they would put strange and captain America up higher because they are just easy to win with. As you play more, winning starts to become less valuable than creativity and complexity. All of the heroes are viable but you have some of the strongest heroes in the game in your bottom tier. I wonder if this would have been the same if you were just starting out.
    Congrats on reaching 3000. It takes a lot of work to get there (more than most of us probably realize) and the community definitely appreciates your thoughts and dedication.

    @johnwaynemcclung8056 День тому

    It amazes me every time how similar our play styles must be because I agree on so many of these hero tier placements. It's hard for me to argue with your top 6. Mine are in a different order, but right now I think those same heroes are my favorites. I would say the one hero I probably like more than you is Wasp. I didn't used to like her at all till I started leaning into her alter ego ability to get mental resource cards back into her deck. She's not in my top two tiers but probable in Very Fun for me. The hero I like less than you is Drax, though I like him a lot more than I used to -- Fun But Flawed likely. Also, I would probably switch the Incredibly Fun row with the Extremely Fun row, mostly, though Black Panther and Wasp would stay up there for me. Thanks for another great video!!

  • @leondewit9816
    @leondewit9816 22 години тому

    Thanks for your super fun video in which you summarize all the heroes and rank them on the things you like and that is: challenging and difficult to play heroes. I would like to see similarities with the video you made recently: Marvel Champions' Top 10 Most Complicated Heroes. I personally prefer heroes that are easier to play and have strong similarities with the characteristics of the hero. This makes me completely immerse myself in the role of the hero and I feel like the hero. When I look at your list, most of these heroes ended up under "Fun" and "Fun but flawed".
    Well, everyone has their own preference and that's what makes Marvel Champions such a great game!

    Oh, and regarding deck-building videos -- what I actually prefer is a discussion about deck builds. What I mean is that I don't really care to hear about how to build a deck (though I can understand why others would); what I like is to see a deck and then have the builder of that deck explain how the deck is "supposed to" work -- though for myself, my decks often work in very different ways than planned due to card draw order. 🙂

    She Hulk was my "most improved" hero experience. I struggled with her as well. But. Once I switched her to Justice --night and day. Then playing her with my silly Justice "heal-tank" deck, it's hilarious. She can reliably flip and heal for 15. Combined with Great Responsibility, she tanks threat and encourages others to flip for Alter Ego benefits. And of course, throwing a full 15-point Gamma Slam is always a crowd pleaser. She went from [Not For Me] to [Incredibly Fun]"

      SHIELD is probably my favorite way to play her these days, and we actually played her at 2-player with SHIELD alter-ego only recently.

    I disagree about Ms Marvel. She's near the bottom for me. I feel completely pigeon-holed into Justice. She has six terrible hero cards which I never play at all --Big Hands and Sneak By. Mediocre aspect cards are better. Then she has three persona cards which all activate on Alter Ego. I actually like those, but they really push you into Justice if you're going to be generating that much threat. She can't do team protection if she's flipping all the time. I started building her deck to 50 cards to thin the hero card ratio, because they're so bad. Her suit is a generic resource generator (great but boring). Her event recursion is great, but the only hero card I ever recur is Wiggle Room. I get that she's strong. I get that she can be pretty tanky (I love tanky builds). I get that event recursion gives you amazing options, but her hero cards just disappoint me. She needs another persona card where you can dump cards which you hate.
