Who are your favourite 2021 champions so far?

um yeah hasn't been updated with Peni Parker and Spiderman 2099 yet, but I'm happy for people to include those two in there

Who are your top 3 favourite champions released in 2021 thus far? This can be for any reason. (IMO choosing your faves based on who's the 'most useful in-game' is boring, but hey you're allowed to do that if you want)

My favourite 3 releases so far have been (in no particular order, apart from Peni, who is OBVIOUSLY first place)

Mister Negative (those animations tho)
Silver Centurion (that victory animation tho, that cracks me up every time)
and Peni Parker (i mean come on it's anime spidey, what's not to love?)

with Hercules coming in at a VERY close 4th. He's awesome but that pec bounce gives me nightmares.

I think Herc and Shang-Chi just have insane utility and damage, so I’d put them at top two. You could argue mr negative, Odin, and Stryfe for third

MN, Silver Centurion, and Spidey 2099. Too bad this year has had mostly awful/mediocre champs with only 2 that are really, really good

Shang chi, psychoman, haven't played any of the others for more then like 5mins as a 3*.

1.Peni Parker (she looks well designed and I like her kit and animations, playstyle also seems engaging enough)

2.Mr Negative ( Probably the most fun playstyle of any champ released this year)

3.Hercules ( free spot because blitzing through fights is a fun and immortality leads to interesting match ups)

I reserve my opinion on this months champs, but I can agree with you I think 2099 and peni are gonna be amazing I am pumped

I think Shang and Herc are objectively the easy choices. I don’t think we’ve seen everything that Chavez, Purgatory, overseer, Mr. N, and Sigil Witch can do. Otherwise, the new champs are promising, and the others seems duddy.

Stryfe
Purgatory
peni

I really like Jabari Panther, even though I don't have her.

Unitman

I really like Jabari Panther, even though I don't have her.

I think she’s gonna make a really good attacker in aw.

I haven't played around with vast majority of them (so I can't judge), but those that I own I enjoy. I own only Stryfe, Super Skrull and Jubilee.

I have been enjoying Stryfe and Super Skrull very much

Spider-Man 2099 - looks sick
Mr Negative - looks sick
Odin - is a god

AssumedName

Stryfe obviously lol.

But I have to say Shang chi and Hercules are very fun, and negative looks cool, and I like the mixture of the light and dark play styles.

Jubilee swigil chavez and purgatory are my favs this year so far thats been released even if not as good i love all there animations and special looks

SHIELD4AGENT

I'm biased towards Mutants, so Stryfe then Jubilee.

hey a mutant bias is definitely a valid reason

but I'm just interested; who would your favourite non-mutants released this year be then?

MN, Silver Centurion, and Spidey 2099. Too bad this year has had mostly awful/mediocre champs with only 2 that are really, really good

honestly I'm fine with most of the champs this month being middle of the pack. For the most part they still tend to stand out one way or another IMO (eg. i'd argue psycho man stood out with his more advanced AI manipulation; too bad he doesn't utilise it all that well) and with the whole 'buffing underperforming champs' thing (both in terms of they'll get buffed later AND they're stretching themselves here so it sorta makes sense it'll happen occasionally) I'm definitely fine with not every champ being insane (and don't get me started on my position on Ghost and Quake)

oh for sure Kabam's art department has been killing it as always

Shang chi and negative. Everyone else has been a disappointment and not worth getting exited over

SpideyFunko

Yay. Another cosmic ramp up champ. That’s definitely what this game needed.

I LOVE Shang Chi. Great champion.

Purgatory was a little meh, but she's super fun to play.

I mean I’d rather Omega Sentinel, but I can’t deny Hercules is broken

But Hercules is actually good?

I'm looking at Peni (damn you autocorrect!) to be the meta-definer of the pack. Great kit, even if I'm not too thrilled about her "infinity+1" autoblock. A good new tech champion, anyways.

Beyond her, Shang and Herc. They both hang with the top dogs in their class, but overall I think I enjoy Shang more.

I haven't even ranked my Herc yet, which I got from a random frustration Cav, but will eventually. As long as they can't counter his Immortality, he's basically Unitman. Don't have a proper counter? Rev it up, rev it up. 🎶

So is most of the cosmic class. What’s your point?
