How would you rank this year's champions so far?

Now that half of 2023's champions have been released/revealed, how would you rank them? Use all sources possible such as deep dives, YT guides, champion gameplay, personal experience, etc. Also which month had the best champs or had your favorite champ? Who's your favorite champion of this year?

Abs carrying January

Overall I’d say January, but out of them all so far, Kate is by far my favorite. Really wish I would’ve taken here to R5 instead of Zemo given the recent mess.

Would like to vote for January but Zemo is so bad. Worst champ this year. Absorbing Man the best champ this year.

Those who don't have Fantman will never understand 😀

My personal opinion only:
1. Absorbing Man
2. Lady Deathstrike
3. Future Antman
4. Kate Bishop
5. Silk
6. Adam Warlock
7. Dani Moonstar
8. Sandman
9. Shocker
10. Baron Zemo
11. Moondragon
12. Viv Vision

Not tested Cassie Lang or Kindred. Going to get a lot of dislikes on this one

1 word most of 2023 champs qualifies for is
Desirable.

I won't press the dislike button, but I will voice my disappointment on Viv being in last place. Even with a rank 4 Nimrod, she's easily my favorite robot and currently my favorite champion.

Fair enough. I tried her initially. Dont know how she is going to be post rebalance.

Lady D at number 2? I’ve seen some good stuff out of her but nothing that puts her above champs like Fantman and Kate

Ansh_A

@Emilia90, i havent tested her as 6*. All my testing except abs man is for 4*s only. I havent gone for featured this time because i was getting all my favourite champs on normal and wanted to see how long the streak lasts.

Based on what i have seen, her rupture damage is insane. I have been easily felling 6* r4 champs with my unranked 4* in under 30 seconds. She seems very good in short matchups.

What are you talking about? Have you seen what he’s capable of? Marvel King Saitama and Karatemike have plenty of videos on him. Zemo is an incredible champ

Why do you think he’s overrated?

Zemo and Abs Man are both great and top out the other 2

My Favorite champ is Zemo who is still good

His heal reverse and damage is better than Zemo’s four hour ramp and mid defense value.

Zemo doesn't need a "four hour" ramp to access his damage. He's arguably a better defender with his root. Sandman is the one that is mid, mid damage but has utility.

Depends on how much they get changed later.

My faves are Kate B, Ant-man Future, and ABS Man.

I’m excited to test her out once she hits the featured

Opinions change

rockykoston

I think all champions released this year are pretty good, which makes me think that some duds are incoming.

My fav is absorbing man , Kate bishop and FantMan.
Out of the rest I think warlock and Moondragon look great.

Nah Zemo’s still kickin, he can be both a specialist and a generalist, deals with all sorts of matchups everywhere
