some of my opinions and a little obscure info

might get some hate but here are some more hot takes and cool tricks from my brain that i may as well share.
super skrull is good
genuinely if you run HT in AW or AQ bring super skrull, he can give you all the fantastic 4 synergies with one champ. also his rotation is super simple and easy to pull off. just do as follows
- hit opponent to get to L2
- once at L2 wait for cosmic overload to fall off then Parry or take blocked hits until 3/4 armour ups but not 2 or 5
- L2, hit into opponent or opponents block until 8 furies are reached
- you’re in nova fists slap them silly
decent damage, nice utility in vigilance and autoblock fail being obtainable simultaneously using different rotation.
Green goblin is overused
any paths with unblockable special potential or high special or nodes that compromise parry/intercepts there will be a green goblin to ruin your day
quicksilver needs to win champion vote
agatha will just be a scarlet witch sigil clone or another mystic we don’t need
baron zemo is cool but like how many skill champions who punch stuff and maybe use a knife do we have? (hint: a lot)
Beta ray bill is also cool but we have other Thor characters
Quicksilver is a literal speedster, like how cool would that be, we have nobody in the game that’s anything like him he has such great potential and even if he’s not a great champion we can rely on the animation team giving us something cool and unique and not something we’ve already seen.
underrated champions are the most fun to use in war
some people don’t understand the satisfaction of clearing through a meticulously thought out and planned war defense with Ebony Maw, Super Skrull or other “trash” champions. like seriously it’s hilarious. well places hyperion? ebon maw says no. peni parker boss, please super skrull = free attack bonus. why are swedeahs war videos so fun? because he uses some out there champions and i bet he has more fun in war then everybody else.
weapon flex is damn stressful to use
getting him to bezerk is a gamble on how to gain charges (i’ve read his abilities 4 times and still don’t know why some heavies ill get none and others i’ll get 8)
keeping him in bezerk is not viable
keeping his bleeds up with heavies is impossible against certain AIs
keeping his health bar up after having to get hit for damage is stressful.
love using him when he works, hate him the rest of the time.
namor overrated
reflecting all damage with a mutant? wow! it’s not like Omega Red and Gambit provide pretty much the same actual utility (as for other damage from debuffs etc just use an immune champion they’re so much easier then getting a max sig namor)
i might still use mine every now and again for terraxes but for those who can’t afford to rank up a champion for one specific champion counter and some prestige i wouldn’t take him up over some better chamoions. definitely an endgame champ.
immortal iron fist is the most useless champion in the game
so he’s potentially one of if not the hardest champions to acquire (after maybe 6* Thanos Kang weapon X etc) and he’s complete trash without the full synergy team. as a big iron fist fan it hurts and i’m begging kabam to buff at least one of them. (they have to be careful with immortal iron fist because if he’s too good he may just end up causing a permanent spending war but still give him a use even if it is just to counter a potential standard iron fist buff how cool would that be?)
Galactus shouldn’t come to the contest
he just shouldn’t, he should act as an onlooker or maybe a force beyond our control, but i don’t think kabam could add him to the contest without doing an injustice to his character, maybe if he was added in a potential “raid boss” game mode exclusively it would be fine but bottom line i think galactus should act as maybe a story element, a watchful eye almost who could be secretly running the contest, causing all the buffs and nerds and responsible to new additions to the contest for example.
spider Ham = the best spider man
sorry but his damage bypasses all armour, resistances and damage cap nonsense like korg (although i wouldn’t recommend using him against korg) he’s also the funniest and had an insane incursions potential. not to mention he can just wipe any combat power rate increasing champions off the map he makes me excited to see 200% energise.

Anyone who isn't a comic afficiando like me doesn't know who any of the other characters are
I mean the odds are in favour of at least one or two
Green Goblin is annoying but we have so many counters nowadays I would never consider him a roadblock.
I don't agree, I think a really good mystic would be great and zemo would be cool, quicksilver is my vote tho.
Beta would be fantastic, we have many spider and iron men and if a great one was added I'd be thrilled.
Depends if you like using those champions.
Weapon Flex being good is a bonus imo, he is a trophy champion.
Namor himself is not overrated. I have cleared the villain variant thorns path and can say I would've much rathered using Namor than only mediums with Omega. It's the 100% effect, 100% reduction, 100% of the time. Safe and reliable on top of great damage. Not overrated.
He doesn't have to be good. He's an extremely rare trophy champ added years ago.
I agree that Galactus as a playable character would never live up to his name, scale, or power level. Maybe if the game gets shut down they add an 8* Galactus full of really fun, but completely and utterly broken abilities. Would like to see him as a Collector/Grandmaster-type boss though.
Spider ham maybe you're favourite but until I see as much content done with him as I do with stealthy, 2099, or even starky he's not going to be the most powerful imo.
