Hey guys, so magneto is now a beast, no doubts there, I have him as a 5 stars and if i get him as a 6 star i'll rank him up as max as i can.
Now, taking aside the fact that he is now an amazing champ, I don't like the champ himself, I think it was really lazy from kabam just making him too OP only by giving him prowess like crazy and the obvious advantage against metal champs.
That's it.
I think what i'm trying to say is that compared to the other bufffed champs he doesn't seem like having a big change other than damage. Take as an example, hulka, spider gwen or hulkbuster, which not only have more damage now but also a lot of utility and some mechanisms that make them interesting to play.
I know most people won't agree with me and that's fine, I just had to say it.

Magneto is supposed to rule the champs with Metal.
Kabam can't give every champ metal tag because of game balance.
Pre buff he hit like a wet noodle and all he did to metal champs was reduce ability accuracy by 40. They did way more to change him than just prowess buffs.
The narrative in the OP that Kabam didn’t do much to change him is factually false. Magneto is not “too OP” he’s not even a top 3 mutant and he should have an obvious advantage against metal champs because that’s his character design. It’s literally his super power. Kabam did an excellent job of designing this character and making him true to his comics self, and I give them a thumbs up.
Not saying there's anything wrong with this Playstyle or that it needa to be changed, again it's one of the more enjoyable ones for me, I just feel it's starting to get overused.
To everyone who doesn't agree, here's a question that I ask myself about Magneto:
Do you think his animations, design and abilities would have been the same if they designed Magneto from scratch in 2020?
Probably not, and I know it's a tall order to ask for a full rework. But don't trash people who have an eye for intricate design, because some were left disappointed.
I love Magneto as a character, and yet somehow I don't feel that this is truly representative of what he should be.
The only thing I’d have liked would be a graphics overhaul but he doesn’t look bad, he’s just a bit less sparkly than some of the new additions to the game, but that’s always going to be the case.
They topped him up with a lot of AMAZING stuff, don't get me wrong, and he deserves all of it
But if he was designed from scratch, you would have seen something similar to Doom or Professor X
Rotations, cool animations, Force Fields, Polar Reversal effects, God knows that they could have come up with
But you're getting me wrong
If they designed him from scratch:
1- His model might have looked slightly different
2- His animations would have looked different
3- Access to Unstoppable and other effects (possibly immunity to reverse controls) would have been accessible through a Force Field in the fight and not just the description
4- They could have come up with a ramp up mechanism too (charges, etc) to further enhance the Force Field or activate other abilities
2- I’ve already talked about the animations multiple times.
3- What would unstoppable through a force field in fight even look like? If he had to unlock his unstoppable through a completely different ability he would have been significantly worse.
4- Theres enough ramp up champs in the game right now and a ramp up mechanic wouldn’t really make sense for him to have. Additionally white magneto already has a ramp up mechanic and it wouldn’t be very creative for the both of them to have
2- I don't care that you've talked about them, they could have been changed anyway, and you wouldn't have complained then.
3- If you can't imagine it, I'm sure the designers could have. But Terrax has a Rock Field, right? Even Professor X's Mind Control abilities are visible in the fight.
4- Sure. There's arguments to both sides. You think Parry Heavy works fine, I won't argue that. Professor X has a ramp up that's rather cool. Doom has an insane power control rotation. Creativity here is what I'm looking for.
You're convinced that they've done the best job they could have with Magneto. I'm not. I'm telling you, if they designed him from scratch, they would have done better.
Just because Mags doesn’t have a power control rotation or a synergy boosting ramp up, that doesn’t make him uncreative as you portray. He’s very creative in his own way, you’re specifically focusing on the lack of special shiny and squeaky animations and lack of similarities with other characters. Magneto is magneto, he is not Victor Von Doom, he is not Charles Xavier, He is not Terrax. He is Magneto and he is creative in his own way and his own right.
With how quickly they were able to get the buff out, I’m satisfied and I have an extremely fun time playing him. We can both agree to disagree.
And I will read your point again when I own a 5 or 6-star Magneto and hopefully it will sink in. In any case, thanks and a good day to you too.
