Yes, I lost the series (should have beaten Doom, but made one mistake and curtains), but DDHK made mincemeat out of Mags. I'm pleasantly surprised.

I'm glad more people are finding his value.
Animations are clean and he's a fun champ to use for the most part - when you win a fight with DDHK you know it's because you've played well and managed the aspects of the kit, good and bad. He's an excellent Miss counter and with some synergies can have other useful utility.
The Peni synergy is great but you've probably found that already, OP.
Sorry if if you aren't aware, we may be out of luck even for tweaks @ChaosMax1012 .
Unless something changes, or he gets some improvement via synergies or changed Masteries, what we've got is this. We tried debating for a few tweaks but the response was as attached.
The regen rate scared a lot of YouTubers off - mainly because the majority of them run liquid courage and double edge. He never got a fair shot from the start.
The regen rate is an issue for sure but here we are. I’ve invested in mine, and will continue to use him. Paired with other champs (Kingpin, Peni, etc) he’s very good.
Im a fan of the guy too, and don’t care if he gets buffed or not as he’s pretty fun, got solid damage, and some cool abilities other champs don’t have. Unfortunate he won’t receive any further tweaks because that’s all he needs to become the perfect DDHK but what we have can still be used for some content. Do hope they consider atleast increasing the duration of his buffs at the very least though.
Mines r3, but unduped 😭

At max sig he reduces Passive Degen and Direct Damage by 100% - this means he takes no damage from Korg, Electro, Maw, Mojo, Thorns, etc. when you are attacking in Stick’s Apprentice.
He purifies non-damaging debuffs in Murdock Boy - this includes debuffs such as Concussion, Power Sting, Armour Break, Falter, Power Lock, etc. which make him a good counter for Yellowjacket, Spider-Ham, Quake, Maw, Aarkus, etc.
If you do it at the wrong time, a combo to the face is bad
I think for balance, after you've read that and consumed all its informative goodness, the downsides need to be stated as well, because it's as useful to know where not to use a champion.
DDHK's terrible with Suicides - arguably worse than any other champion in the game. He struggles when hit by damaging Debuffs because the Willpower healing is so compromised. He also struggles against nodes where regeneration is part of it (Aspect of Nightmares, for example).
But all that said, enjoy giving the kit a spin @Kerneas
The best part of his buff is the Miss bypass, which was added 2 months after his main overhaul. Kabam moves in mysterious ways…
I occasionally use him and I enjoy doing so. if you are not running suicides( I don’t) he is a solid champion with some unique utility at max sig. that’s about it. His overhaul took him from useless to occasionally useful.
He also has a decent kit of synergies with some great champs. I mainly use him with She-Hulk.
All the above dont change the fact that we all expected more from his overhaul. Still rather disappointed, Daredevil being my favorite Marvel character. I’m still holding some hope for a righteous overhaul to the original one, which will probably never happen.
For me, DDHK is gonna be one of my many fun champs. I have him 5* r2 now, he'll eventually go to r3. And there he will join my army of fun to play champs. I take those into AQ (we run map 2-3), or just for a spin in UC EQ from time to time. For serious stuff I have my 6*s and maxed 5*s, but champs like DDHK are for fooling around in low level content. The main selling point for me are his synergies, that I'll use to create a nice team that supports each other.
If Kabam ever grace my account with a 6* Psylocke I'll be putting some time in and probably R2 her to go alongside Bishop too. I think she'd suit me really well. Spider-Gwen is an awesome champ, overlooked by many but I use her a lot - she's great with Peni too.
But that Regen Rate for DDHK, eurgh
