What are your general thoughts on Mysterio?

I wanted to do some self reflection and was wondering what everyone else thought of Mysterio in MCOC.
What are your thoughts on Mysterio in terms off:
1) Attacker strength
2) Defender strength
3) Animations
4) Synergies
5) Overall rating as a champion

Personally think I am a good champ for attack but would love one of those stats/minor changes buffs. Defense is bad for my back (or should I say beck?) due to all the heavies Kabam makes me throw. I am also sad to be the only Sinister Six member with no synergies in my own kit with other Sinister members. Animations are super cool though. Overall pretty cool champ, handsome to.

1) Attacker strength

Solid. I hate SP3 champs, but you hit hard and even without frenzy gas the crits are pretty juicy. Poison damage is also pretty nice without frenzy gas and gets crazy with the gas.

2) Defender strength

This one depends a lot on node placement. If you decide to throw SP1s, the fight is long and annoying. Also let's not forget the lightning-fast heavy. I would call you more of an inconventience than a threat.

3) Animations

These are probably the best in-game. I love your visuals, love the effects and the flow. Simply amazing.

4) Synergies

Let's be real, whenever you think of Mysterio, Peni also pops-up in your mind. These two are meamt for each other. I also love the triple synergy with Night Thrasher and Surfer (mine hovers/mine travels through space). Mysterio has many helpful synergies, but mostly with techs, skills and sciences, so class duping is a risk that comes with that. But hey, any team with skill, science and tech should be good...

5) Overall rating as a champion

Pretty good champion with balanced abilities. Has a lot of utility available, but you sadly are the embodiment of tough choices. You have either utility (Heal block, powerdrain) or damage (frenzy, poison). It's hard to maintain both. Also, some utility is offensively useless in the endgame content (damage reflect). As for the dupp, it helps a lot but isn't completely necessary. High sig is the same story, so no problem there.

Overall, I would call you a very good champ with couple design flaws, that present a substantial drawbeck (pun intended). If there was the option to easily keep utility AND damage, you would be one of the very best in your class.

Attacker Strength: Phenominal damage and good utility, but relies on the Peni synergy (I really wish this was base kit). Heal block, poison, AA reduction and poison immunity (Domino takes the L), and evade counter in one kit is quite nice.

Defender Strength: I despise fighting him, even with spider verse heros. That damage reflection phase is so annoying. Miss is also irritating without a proper counter. That Summer of Pain mysterio still gives me PTSD

Animations: I love the gaseous nauseating feel of his attacks and block. Reminds me of a genie with a crystal ball head. The SP1 also feels satisfying to dex.

Synergies: Peni synergy is the best, no contest. The ones that increase his gas duration are great as well. If he ever gets a buff I hope his gas buffs get slightly increased durations, 2-4 seconds really make a difference.

Overall rating: 7/10. He isn’t my first choice, but still a viable option in terms of utility and damage. Some small buffs could really make a big difference.

Why is no one mentioning the absolute random heavies that Mr.Mysterio throws for no reason at all, at the oddest of times?

I would agree with @Terra and @Axew, if you based kit had the Peni synergy it would make a huge difference it your usefulness. You visual is definitely one of the best and why do you keep throwing heavies so often, it's like that's your go to move. I will say that my 7 star Mysterio gets used in BG a lot and it's been working out pretty well.

1. Very powerful illusion champion and has proven to be able to crush opponents with just his words.
2. As far as defense goes, he is slightly annoying because he has those faster-than-light heavies as well as needing to stop hitting him after his sp1. Other than that, he isn't bad.
3. He has good animations for someone who is as old as him.
4. Synergy wise, he is very nice with Peni Parker. Wish it was in his base kit, but what can you do about it.
5. Overall champion strength, I'd give you a solid 8/10 champion. He has a lot of good things in his kit, and by no means is a bad champion. While slower alone, he still can output some decent damage if played right.

Probably my most unusual future rank Up (ranking Up after galán and/or spot) rivaled by sassy since i already heve peni at R3 shes underrated
Pretty good attack and animations
Excelent defender and useful synergys
The only reason i did'nt rank him Up already is that i could have got him as my first 7*

AverageDesi

Hate him. Bad bowl.

I don't like how there's no one who can completely neuter his defense unless they can power control him. Also he hits very hard into block

You're my most wanted 7 star

You're pretty good on your own but I don't like choosing damage or utility 7/10

Defense wise you can be annoying if I can't place an armor break on you your heavies actually don't bother me 6/10

Your Animations are sick 10/10

Synergy wise really wish the peni synergy in your base kit but it's still great 8/10

Overall 31/40

i think you are a very handsome, polite and well-spoken fishbowl man

SpideyFunko

whilst you may be good looking you throw far too
many random heavies for me to have a fully positive opinion of your impeccably dressed self

Mysterio
