Can I walk you through a hypothetical?

Mysterio

So let's say, Kabam was wondering IF and if so, what kind of buff I would be best suited (Fishbowled?) for. Luckily one of the Kabam members checked the Forums and saw that right as they were thinking of this, there was a posted just like this one. What would you vote for on the poll?

Value-only update (Ant-man size level of buff, bit a buff nonetheless)

he's average to good right now, so i think anything more than a value only update would be a bit of overkill. maybe some bigger numbers, but nothing excessive

He's already pretty good

I think just give him an attack increase on sp2 and sp1 similar to the sp3. So while his power drain gas /damage reflect gas is active, increase attack in the same way the sp3 does. However, an sp1 attack increase is 1/3 the potency of the sp3 attack increase, and sp2 is 2/3 the potency.

Same with the increase potency to poison. So sp1 now increases poison potency by 100%, and sp2 increases by 200%. (Sp3 increases by 300% if you’re wondering). These increase potency are only for the duration of the gas effects.

That way you no longer have to fully trade damage for utility. But if you want full damage, sp3 would probably be the way to go.

So as an offensive character I’d love for him to get better. The problem I have with him right now is his damage buff after an sp3 is way too short. The thing I don’t want happening though is he becomes a better defender. So I’d like a buff where his defending abilities get taken away and replaced with better offensive abilities. It’s a win-win.

Honestly if he could store more gas that would be great. His abilities would still cost the same amount, you would just have more in the bank for poisons etc. The SP3 could do with more potency and duration too, so you can fully utilise the SP2 with it

Although I would like to see the SP2 give him a native attack increase so he has a decent utility rotation

Moderate Mysterio update (Give me a couple of new fishbowls and we good)

It would be small but not technically value only. A way to where he isn’t forced to choose utility or damage, and a better use for the L1 on offense

I think his Numbers are pretty Solid as is, a slight increase couldn't hurt but what I'd love to see is Increased Power Gain in any way. Maybe on Base +20% Combat Power Rate, this Effect is Doubled while the Enemy is Poisoned.
Also maybe his Phases are Paused during Both Enemies Specials, with a slight increase to their Base Duration as well.

Basically just give his Phases a little more accessibility.

Apart from the ones mentioned above, about his gas and SP attack mech, I would like to see a lil shortening of the duration between his basic hits... That's what I use mostly ( If I use him), and it feels really slow, as if he was some #XL champ.

JFF guys, but isn't it true though?

Overhaul (My entire current kit was mearly an illussion...)

By mistake I went for overhaul but he is already a perfect champ but so underrated

Malreck04

Perfectly Balanced (as the lesser reality manipulator said)

More time on frenzy would make lots more people use him

Gear him in a way that you can maintain Frenzy. Either by increasing Frenzy time, making Frenzy (realiably) pausible, giving an alternate method of activating, or by increasing power gain in some way. Or some combination.

Really, I tend to stay away from Sp3-based ramp-up champs. Just kills my fun, somehow.

Value-only update (Ant-man size level of buff, bit a buff nonetheless)

Not much change needed.

Changing his Sig would make a big difference. One or more of these (which could also be added via synergies; but better in his base kit):

• Increase the rate of Poison gain at lower Sig levels
• Increase total Poison capacity by 1
• After throwing a Special, Mysterio has a Sig-dependent% chance to synthesise one Poison gas.

Or like suggested above, some way to extend the Frenzy Gas effect a bit further would be great. Pause it whilst he is under a bar of power, or something?

I would change him so you don't get punished for focusing on damage or utility. He needs a way to recover power after SP3.

What about All 3 Phases can be activated off Any Special Attack, Base Potency as Listed in Abilities is set to 80% on Sp1 then each increment of Special Level increases Potency by a Flat 35%.
Then you get to chose which Gas you want activated, via a method like:

Dash Back and Hold Block for .8 Seconds to Rotate your Inactive Gas Selector.

-Or-

Reflection Gas- Activated by using Block before any Special.
Illusion Gas- Activated by using a Light Attack before any Special.
Frenzy Gas- Activated by using a Medium Attack before any Special.

This way you have the Quick Option Sp1 to High Damage or Utility at the cost of a little Potency for Shorter Fights, the Mid Range Length Fights give a good use for the Sp2 at Slightly Above Base Potency with only requiring Two Bars of Power, then you have the Sp3 for the Long/Tanky Fights that have 150% Potency to drop Big Power Control or Massibe Burst Damage.
