What character do you think needs nerfs, or buffs so far?
In my opinion think Spiderman needs the biggest nerf, having a character that can move around so freely and have both melee and long attacks with webs makes him seem like he shouldnt even be in the game at all. His movement are so unlike other characters even venom isnt as versatile.

In terms of buffs i think Rocket needs a buff big time. His healing ability is nowhere near as good as others, and his normal attack isnt very great either. His Ult is only good if people stay inside of it too.

Jeff's ult is the first thing that comes to mind for a nerf
I mean its a lot of fun and its hilarious but uh
Any sort of overtime or objective involving your teammates being close or you lose ground or... well, just lose, Jeff ult is SUPREME.

I think Spiderman should be more "reworked" or "refined" more than nerfed. I would make him infinitely more easy to move him around but reduce his damage. Give him infinite web swinging and reduce his web-hooking range (the "get over here" move, can't remember the button now). Something like that. Maybe giving him an option to quickly move from randomly swinging to a locked point (for objective purposes), i dunno man, the possibilities are infinite...

Kinda agree on Rocket i mean, i would make him pure support but zero healer. Like increase dmg for allies A LOT but zero healing, something like that. I aint no expert but i think heroes should be all more gimmicky and actually related to their comic counterparts more...

What is sure is having Hawkeye THIS strong and Ironman and Storm THIS bad feels kinda off...

There are too many to list, it's a mess.

nahh jeff isnt that bad, i'd just stop his ult from lasting for so long, maybe reduce the radius so he can't swallow the entire enemy team. or just make it so you cant spit friendly and enemy separately, that way theres some risk of capturing and suiciding with your own team.

people dont realize that jeff is just a walking headshot hitbox, he's super squishy just pick the right counter that can benefit from headshots i.e hawkeye.

with that being said hawkeye and hela feel very strong and im not really sure what they could do to fix it without butchering the class.

wolverine is too weak. awful mobility, E feels like it does nothing and his passive cooldown is comically long. wish he had some sort of passive regen factor that makes him work well without a healer while staying in the backline

oh yeah punishers turret is insane as well but thats mostly because for some reason that specific ability increases your hitbox by 3x..

Jeff's ult is ridiculous. Extremely easy to team wipe, lacks counterplay, very gimmicky, and feels like an oversight. Reduce the range or give it Scarlet Witch's warning indicator so teams can actually get out of range. It's an insta kill ult, which is fine it just needs proper telegraphing.

Rocket main here, don't change him. Yeah he's not as good of a healer, but he can heal from almost anywhere on the map, and he also self heals better than anyone else. Yeah he's squishy but he has extremely squirrely movement, so you can escape a lot of situations if you're skilled enough.

tanks: most of them are ok. Strange is the strongest but far from being OP.
The bruiser tanks are all kinda meh. venom is decent but the rest ar just annoying.

Healers: Snow, C&D and mantis are bonkers. So much utility, so much heal and rediculous Ults. The ults could need little nerfs for sure.
If you let a jeff get into your team it's your own fault. As a healer he should always be a priority target. And he's damn squishy. Ult is strong but another noob stomper.

dds: hawkeye and hela are too strong. both can obilterate the oppsing team from very far away with very little risk. Hawkeye can oneshot almost all healers if he headshots.

The melees kinda suck. The melees are too squishy and just die against coordinated teams with not braindead healers. duelists are just useless against a well coordinated team. psylocke as an assasin is alright but really difficult. Why taking all these risks if you can fulfill the same role from afar with a character like hela or hawkeye?

The ranged DDs are all mostly fine. Some are better, some are weaker. Widow is literally useless in a game where hawkeye exists. shes worse in every single way.
storm is very weak but the utility is ok. might work in certain comps.
I dont see the point of star lord. feels like a weaker version of tracer, an already weak character. squirrelgirl....not sure yet, doesnt feel very strong as well.

most others are just fine.

Saying this without mentioning Iron Fist gives me less reason to believe that you're credible

Nobody's complaining about Namor, which means he's not strong enough.

Buff Vanguards:

- Magneto (buff damage or rework from tiny aoe to tracking missile cuz he is master of magnet)

- Captain America (Dunno what... maybe increase his shield strenght).

Nerf Strategist:

- Jeff (Make it imossible for him to fall off ledge of the map while ult is working... I dont mind him throwing people off since there are abilities to prevent it. Also nerf his damaging ability by either reducing damage, reducing speed or reducing amount of ammo he can shoot before reloading)

Nerf Duelist:

- Helia (Should be killed in her ultimate when her HP reaches 0 instead of just walking away)

- Howkeye (Should have less tools to his disposal... climbing instead jumping and maybe even knockback from sword removed)

- Iron First (Dunno how... but I would for sure make his meditation type of heal to be way slower)

Buff Duelist:

- Wolverine (Increase duration of Undying Animal or Increase damage reduction of this ability)


Pity that we will not see win ratio of champions like in League of Legends. People can swap at any moment.

He is not cool enough and people want to play cool heroes... and duelists have a long list of those. IMO he is strong because he is easy - almost like Scarlet Witch and Moonknight. Those turrets are attacking even when you are missing.

I respectfully, and completely, disagree with buffs for melee characters. Melee characters are already really good at flanking the backline, making them any stronger would be completely oppressive and any other form of DPS character completely irrelevant to use.
The nerfs for Jeff, Hela, and Hawkeye would already do a lot to meta shift.

For the original post:
I'd want Storm to be buffed. She is one of the coolest characters in the roster, but she does next to nothing because of her damage ranges being the single worse given the type of character she is. She is an aerial character that cannot stray from her team because of how squishy, slow, and low damage she is.
With her Tornado/Thunder aura it takes 10/9 hits to kill a 250 HP character from 30+ meters away with her primary attack, at under 15 it still takes 5 regardless of aura making her the single weakest DPS in the entire game. Empowering herself only reduces each hit by 1, AND she is unable to headshot for bonus damage.
She has no instant speed like Iron Man's boost to match the movement of her allies to grant them her auras during all-ins unless she puts herself way out of position, just the Tornado aura that barely makes her any faster, and the empowered Tornado aura is only a 10 or 15% or so slow, which is not nearly enough, that alone needs its number doubled to mean anything when compared to the Thunder aura's periodic lightning strikes.
Storm herself only having 250 HP while being so slow makes her an extremely easy target for anyone to take down, even supports.
The best thing about Storm is that her primary attack pierces through enemies, but its at such low damage in its current state it means nothing.

A TLDR on what Storm needs: She needs her primary attack's damage increased by 10 and damage drop off drastically reworked due to her being an aerial character. She needs a bit more movement speed (7 m/s instead of 6 m/s) if she does not get a new movement ability. She needs her Empowered Tornado's aura to have a stronger slow effect to compete with her empowered Thunder aura. And she needs 50 more HP.

Complaining Spider Man needs a nerf when Iron Fist is RIGHT THERE is INSANE.

Iron Fist is a noob stomper. He's the easiest to counter if you have anything going on between your ears. He has lock on punches, you think it's broken. I see it as his counter because I know where he's going to be. One good placed cc and it's goodbye Iron Fist.

Buff Captain, Storm, and Rocket.
Everything else is manageable.

Iron Fist is one of the best duelists in the game right now. Saying "just use CC" like every character has that? Yeah you as a tank is gonna shut down a dive duelist, obviously. He's not a noob slayer, he's a noob carry. In the right hands he has insane scaling and self heals and gets bonus health from assists. You being as aggressive as you are is a red flag, because it's what bad players do to try to seem smart and be challenged less often. Stop doing that, it's so obnoxious and it's so obvious that you don't know what you're talking about.
