Who is better, Iron Man OG or War Machine?

For general content, BGs, War, etc, who is better overall? Just wondering since I have both and they are similar but have different rotations

You are definitely playing them wrong if you feel like they are similar!

They have different rotations but they do have similarities, both use armor breaks for damage, both have high armor rating, etc.

War Machine was buffed and he's underrated, but OG Iron Man got the best buff between the two by far. It's always good to bring war Machine along for your tech champions and use his pre fights. And again, he is underrated. Sometimes it is difficult to bring him as an actual champ that I'm going to attack with um versus some other tech champions. But as I said, he's very good to bring along to boost up your other tech champs.

No I agree that he’s underrated but it’s still not even close lol. Iron Man OG is an MVP for raids, the avengers challenge, and he’s such a tank for general content and war. War Machine is cool and all but I can’t see any area of the game where I’d use him over IM

It's like comparing salad to a Large size Pizza lmao, Ironman's better than War machine by a light year

With new rework, yes, Tony Stark alter ego

Pikolu

War machine is good, after you've done 2 or 3 sp2s and a sp3. That takes a long time to get your damage going whereas iron man is punching with large damage numbers after a single sp2 (in a single sp1 if it is someone like sauron who you can remove prowess from). While after ramp they are similar, Iron Man takes the cake for getting his damage much more easily than War Machine.

Since his buff, OG Iron Man is really solid; has far broader utility; and like Pikolu says, gets his damage much faster.

Also, over the last few months, War Machine has been substantially devalued because what used to be his niche ability (removing Prowess) has become a staple Tech ability; given to Viv Vision, Shocker, Ironheart and Iron Man himself.

War Machine really could do with a re-tweak; with at least some mechanism for recovering his Armour, and a faster way of getting his rotation off (e.g. a fourth Prefight: Start the match with a 40% Energise Prefight, lasting 30 seconds).

That's one of his downsides, his armor should be like Warlock's

Which number is bigger?
99 or 111

War machine is very underrated. My 7 star is r3 and don’t regret it, but in this instance I would probably say iron man first. Had I gotten iron man before war machine and not already had im r5 ascended I would have done him over wm.

The immunities and attack per buff gives iron man an upper hand. And obviously new animations are awesome

I’m hoping Superior Iron man also has new animations
