Sigh. It’s getting harder to be an ow2 player on top of playing console with players ximming. It took them one year to buff and nerf back and forth ILLARI because they didn’t know illaris identity as a support… same with symmetra in ow1. and MR gets 4 new heroes after a new release. It’s a new game but still feels bittersweet idk

Not going to lie, according to leaks, a lot of obscure characters are coming out. There is not a lot to look forward to after the Fantastic Four. Blade, Jean, Emma Frost, and Deadpool are the only heavy hitters for an entire year…
So, yeah, it’s sweet at the moment and near future. It’s definitely going to slow down, however.

Ya… but They have the marvels universe IP in their hands. They have a catalogue that will stretch them for decades for not just heroes but content in terms of maps and modes….

When it comes to illiari, i think her identity pretty much just the pylon because everything else about her is meh.
Her dps is like 77 if you land all full charged bodyshot (and its not that much better with crits because of her reduced multiplier). The bigger thing making her stand out is her range (though it is second to Ana). She’s a budget Ashe with a literal healbot.
I kind of wish they gave her the dps passive. She deserves it imo.

Keep in mind almost no one knew who Jeff was a month ago…

Engineer sniper . Next question
Jeff the Landshark is pretty obscure and not a heavy hitter, so there’s some hope. His ultimate is a nightmare, but I love the character itself.

they will never fix her. and even if they decided to, it would take over a year.
she has had a minimal pick rate for years now
I just want my War Machine, gimme flying vanguard that plays like Mauga and goes BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Also they kind of had to release four Fantastic Four members because… well… its the Fantastic Four.
Plus I would say making heroes for MR is a bit easier because they already have a foundation to work with as their albitites and look are already defined. Even their skins are already designed by taking them from the comic books.
Not going to lie, being a flying Pharah with a minigun raining hellfire sounds awesome.

Too bad MR maps are so poorly designed it feels like they were all meant for PvE… I mean kudos to them if that’s their next big mode but from a PvP perspective, it is diabolical just how jarring their map design is and I don’t think the Marvel IP is going to save that.
Considering the popularity around Jeff, Luna Snow, and Lin Lie (Iron Fist), I don’t think obscure is a problem.

Jeff is not obscure and LS and Iron Fist are notorious not because of their characters but because they are obnoxiously designed around CC, hyper mobility and invulnerability mechanics.
IF is most known for the memes where he obliterated half of MR’s flying characters as a melee hero…
No way you’re gonna neglect to mention the fantasterrifical MODOK as a heavy hitter, kid me loved him in Marvel vs Capcom 3 because one of his attacks was “farting” an explosion and screaming DIE
This iconic piece of gaming history needs to be brought into the modern era

That reject Karate Kid is only popular off the back of Danny Rand and the fact that they are the easiest character in the game. Nobody actually cares about them.
Jeff and Luna are definitely baller. I guess I should give the other ones that I have never heard of a chance. Personally, I am looking forward to MODOK, but that is only because he was fun in MvC3. I had no idea who he was prior to that and I ended up loving him. Anything is possible.
I still believe that Ghost Rider would be a better choice. Just Saiyan.
There are many second/third tier (in popularity) heroes that are still quite well known.
I have not read a page of comic and I know:
Daredevil
Electra
Cyclops
Juggernaut
Silver Surfer
Doom (season 0 boss?)
X
Ice Man
Pyro
Mystique
That toad guy and yeti guy from X-Men movies.
Oh yeah and:
Ant-Man
Wasp
Shang-Chi
The Ancient One
Wong (I think they’ve shown his look already)
And that two bad guys from Sanctum
They are not running out of heroes and they don’t have to think about creating lore for them. The devs main problem are creating unique play styles that also fit the character.

Yeah that’s the weakness of MR and Marvel games in general. The diversity in power always lacks.
They’ll just reskin the same stun, dash, and levitate ability over and over again.

Huh, in other thread some guy asserts, like Illari easier than Ana. Lol. I also witnessed like some guys complain Illari even after her huge nerfs! What? Most players still hate her? But they like penny-a-like Juno, broken Ana and something. Seems like heroes with real interesting concept can’t find a place for themselves in this game’s community
yea for me i only want ROGUE… for personal reasons and memories. probably will have to wait an eternity sigh
also wish for a sombra carbon copy hero 
… edit: i meant jubilee…woops
