Wow. Okay. If you don't think he's awful, I don't know what to say. He's got the lowest base stats and severely nerfed abilities. But okay. I guess you're entitled to that opinion.
This is simply not true. DS was cited as having a power gain that was too powerful. I'm sorry I don't have the quote. The old forums are toast. BUT if his power gain was not an issue then why change it?
And I'm not claiming that was his only nerf or the only thing that made him good or whatever. It was one of many nerfs to the character. They hit him with the nerf hammer so hard he's still spinning. But when I watch Hyperion's power gain rise like a Phoenix while I can get a cup of coffee before DS reaches his first special yeah I too get a little salty. Apples to oranges or not - the fact is Hyperion is awesome while DS was ruined. *Ruined*
They hit him too hard and no one will convince me otherwise. BW got hit too hard as well IMO but she fared better than DS. Thor was hit too hard but they gave him something back at least. SW got hit pretty hard but she was once the true god of MCOC so that one I understand. And even now she's still useful. What is DS useful for anymore? I don't see anyone use him anymore. Tell me that's not sad? He's one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel Universe!
And whoever thought that DS was all powerful IG never used him on a Spite node apparently. It was a total lack of creativity to nuke him into the ground IMO. Node buffs would've solved the problem of people overusing him. Same with Thor. Who would you rather have against a stun immune node? Old Thor (as powerful as he was) or Captain Marvel?
You kill DS pretty good in the regen department right. Why kill his power gain too?
Yeah unless you're in the 90% who get the SPECIAL FORCES AI whenever Hyperion is on the screen making him NEVER bait
You're focusing on one Ability and not seeing the greater picture. The nerf didn't come about because of his Power Gain. His Power Gain was a part of what was fuelling his OP status. It was one aspect. When you add that to his other Abilities, and specifically the Regen that depended on the Damage he dealt, you see that the Power Gain was a contributing factor.
There are no "God Tier" Champs like there were. Some are strong in a few areas, but not overall like the old God Tier. It wasn't one specific Ability. It was the combination of overpowered Abilities, plus the Synergy and Mastery setup, that made them exponentially powerful. Crit, Regen, Reduction, Nullify, Stun, Power Gain, the list goes on. You're centering the comparison on one aspect that another Champ has, but you're not seeing the greater picture. It wasn't the PG that led to the nerf, and it doesn't mean that another Champ shouldn't have that as a strength. People use the term OP way too loosely. OP is what the former God Tier was. That does not exist in the current meta.
He's pretty awful.
I think he could use a tad more Damage output. Nothing extreme. Perhaps added Damage on the Fury Cycle. I wouldn't classify him as awful. One of the reasons people see it that way is because it's low compared to how he used to function. There is also a new system that he's functioning in now, and that makes the effect more extreme. It's just that the focus was on Power Gain, and that's not at all the reason Strange was nerfed. The comparison to Hyperion has been made many times before and they're not the same at all. Hyperion is not pre-12.0 DS. The game has changed. We're months into it. Time to move forward.
If you're going to come for me and imply I have no idea how the game works, at least have more factual information than I do, instead of stating a comparison with facts that show the state of how he is now. We're talking about a nerf. All you did was outline the fact that he was nerfed. Present a fact that counters what I've already said in the comments I've made, and perhaps we can have a conversation.....or continue to hate. Your choice.
His damage is poor, his regen is almost non existent, and the power gain is just so, so slow.
I have 1 use for mine, and that's for mordos synergy during arena, and even then I'd rather use anything but DS
thats a bad idea mate
Very low health
Iffy Armor Up Phase
Very Low Fury Phase
Iffy Regen Phase
Decent Counterspell
The best thing Strange has is decent. His Regen and Armor Up are somewhat good, but the sucks other than that. And you could easily make the case that his Armor Up/Regen simply makes up for his bad health. So now you can make the case that he's an unduped Scarlet Witch with an alternate version of Nullify, and also lower health. Does that sound like a good Champ? Not to me.
