Mild Hawkeye Alterations

As it is, Hawkeye is pretty sweet, but could be closer to his comic book and movie persona, as he is far more adaptable to the situation.

With that being said, he just needs minor changes.

All arrow shots have a 50% chance to cause bleed, if bleed immune, Hawkeye uses armor piercing arrows with a 50% chance to armor break.

Hawkeye, starts fight with electric arrows, if he dashes back and hold block for 2 seconds he changes to incendiary arrows, if he dashes back and holds block for 2 seconds he uses poison arrows. After arrow is shot, next debuff is selected. Pretty much apply WS’s change system.

All arrows have a 100% chance to apply debuff.

I’d say keep all his other abilities the same, as I like his power control, but maybe change his awakened ability a bit to add the new debuffs.

These new, but simple changes will help him increase damage against various enemies, while not making him over powered or feel extremely different.

It’d be nice if he got a passive trait that allows for reduction to cold, and poison damage due to years of training in harsh conditions, and subjecting himself to various poisons to gain some immunity.

    There’s a lot more champs though that should be buffed first before hawkeye

    Honestly I would be fine with him having true strike on specials and make his sig ability not a one-time thing. But he's fine as he is though. It could be a small change like the one for sentry, not a big change like carnage/venom.

    Second this, for a guy that never misses, why does he not have true strike

    If they allowed his sig to activate multiple times then I think you'd have a God-Tier on your hands

    Not in war season 5

    I don't think there is a point in the first part since hawkeye's only arrow shots come from his specials and they already cause bleed anyway. 2nd part may be nice though.

    A long time ago I emailed them and suggested something similar. Hawkeye is one of my favorite Champions to use his number one special attack is one of the best in the game. But the way the contest has changed has made him almost useless. He's worthless against the Sentinels in the AQ and it's very difficult to use him although you can use him against bleed immune champions. The fights just take forever but they are doable. However because of this a lot of players have shelved him in favor of other skill champions that do more than just cause bleed such as Gwenpool

    Maybe we get something like this, but in sync with the next movie we see the introduction of a new character.... Ronin (or Hawkeye A4 such as Vision AoU) Although powerful on his own, essentially OG Hawkeye with perhaps an evade or glancing type mechanic along with the multi-arrow suggestion, which should be completely automatic at the start of the fight based on the opponent such as X23 on on a bleed/ bleed immune opponent or ability reduction such as she-hulk. Along with those baseline abilities, a few standard type synergies for crit/damage/power gain. Lastly, some unique synergies with his Avengers4 counterparts would be a very nice way to cap things off. A little imagination goes a long way

    So I do agree he needs a buff. He is a Savage with his bleeds and power control, but if the target is bleed immune then Hawkeye is pointless. The armor break trade off is great, they did it with X23 essentially. But having poison, bleed, shock, and incinerate? That may be a bit much. True strike is a good point, he should have that.
    The bare minimum update, give him armor break against bleed immune

    Yeah, it definitely would be cool to have a WS esque pick your ammo kind of mechanic, I agree with another commenter that he should have some tries strike mechanic, but I feel it should be a true strike activated when intercepting with a special attack.

    That would cause for a different playstyle vs the one I adopt with my 6* Hawkeye, which is locking the opponent against the wall and intercepting while managing power.

    This would synergies with the ammo changes as you would dash back, hold block, change ammo, then when the opponent rushes you, you can shallow evade into special, which is a pretty satisfying thing to do, then you have true strike plus the debuff which the arrow caused.

    I also think instead of his sig, he should have a chance to activate every single type of ammo once per fight, if that happened they would have double duration and they would suffer from a 60% ability accuracy reduction for the duration of this. The Taskmaster synergy would make this dude an absolute God if this was a really buff.

    Keep away from my Hawkeye!!!

    I think they need to buff his base stats and make his special 3 cause more damage and bleed. I have him rank 3 as a 5 star duped and he's pretty damn good as he is though.

    Yeah, him too, but this is a Hawkeye post. If you want I can do a Sentry post. As I mentioned above, I’m only writting about those I know about. My knowledge of sentry is minor, just what I know from civil war comics up to dark siege where he rips Aries in half without much trouble.


    So yeah, he is a noodle in the game. Problem is I don’t have him as a 5 or 6 star, so I do t know where he is lacking. I do t think I’ll get a good feel from my 3*

    If only more People support my post about Sentry

    He's excellent for power control and bleed. I even use him for bleed immune for power control. His defense could use some improvement though
