I'm not talking about which champ is the best right now, just which one was the goat of their time period

Blade completely broke the meta of Mystic defenders (Magik & Dormammu), and started the trend of the synergy trio with Stark Spidey and Ghost Rider.
12.0 rebalance was required because of how broken Thor, BW, and SW were; and poor Dr Strange got horribly hurt in the cross-fire.
Overall though - and I regretted my choice when I properly read the others - it has to be Scarlet Witch. She was so horribly broken, especially with the full mutant crit-rate synergy team, that you could basically run your phone on your backside and win everything with her. I explored Act 4 with her 3*, and it was EASY!
DS would get 100% (!!!) block proficiency. 100%. He had healing, damage, passive power gain, mystic dispersion.
And then there's SW. You know how people say now "just Herc it"?. Before that they were saying "just ghost it" or "just quake it". Well, the original saying was "just use SW".
While the kabam slowly moved away from blade, quake, ghost and at some point Herc by simply releasing champs and nodes that counter them, well, for Scarlet Witch they had to completely redesign how the game works (12.0 update will live in infamy).
Nothing could stop Scarlet Witch in her day. Kabam waited years after 12.0 to even release her as a 5*. I think they tweked her kit a bit too, just to ensure she wouldn't brake the game even post 12.0.
Anyone that was around pre-12.0 knows that it was almost humorous with her. A Rank 4 4-star Switch was more powerful than many 6-4 champs now.
Unbiased
12.0 patch notes probably idk i wasnt there
Look up the 10 hit challenge on YouTube.
Quake forced a rethink of champion release strategy at higher rarity, what she was to 5*, Herc will do to 6*.
Others were (or still are) more broken, yes. But Blade didn't need to be awoken and he certainly didn't need a high sig. When Blade was released he shut characters down. He shut nodes down. He was a force all on his own but if you also had Ghost Rider and Starky? The game was yours. They legitimately stopped tagging characters as #Villain and #DimensionalBeing in efforts to negate Blade's effectiveness.
In terms of "best champion for their time" Blade wins this. Star Lord, Herc, SW are all contenders for sure. Corvus, Starky, Doom... all were the best of their time. But Blade stands out above them IMO. When he was released, the other champions around him weren't nearly as impactful, the same can't be said about the others.
Scarlet Witch did all of ROL for me, during the dark ages of 4* r1 being top champ.
You can't make that argument for anyone else in the poll, even Hercules.
So because of the "at their time" limitation of the poll, SW is the answer in my opinion 🙂
