Who are some champs that you think would be more/less appreciated by the community if not for BGs?

If BGs was never a thing and not in the consideration, which champions do you think would be viewed much differently? We saw some champs like Domino go from irrelevant to meta because of battlegrounds.

I think NTW (and other champs who have a lot of utility but not a lot of quick burst) would be viewed much more favorably if BGs wasn’t in consideration. The fact that she can counter all the skill defenders’ abilities is very useful but because she doesn’t deal with them that quickly, people are down on her.

Serpent on the other hand I feel like wouldn’t be feared as much if taking him down as fast as possible wasn’t an issue. A lot of mystic champs can take him, just not fast enough for a BG win.

Who else can you think of?

    Questing would have higher value. Someone like apoc would be looked at as very relevant still. Kitty would still be broken as well

    Quicksilver imo. He has so much utility but takes awhile to take down fights compared to science nukes

    Sunspot. I remember when i first got sunspot, i checked the forums to see people talking about him. When he first released he was a great character but as time went on he died down in popularity with some posts even stating they regret ranking him up because they never use him. Now people have hunted for him as 7* and ranked him up because he does quick work in bg. However i see him dying out again as they release more difficult defenders like serpent because while he has perfect block potential, the reason he died out in the first place was lack of utility, and thats exactly what will happen when more difficult defenders come about.

    Northstar would be a most wanted champ. He’s very fun, got loads of utility, and hits like a freight train after a little ramp up. But pre-ramp he’s Noodles McNoodler, and that’s most of a BGs match

    Sunspot works well for bullseye, dust, and can even do maestro

    Claire would definitely get more love. In BG she is too slow. She very versitile and can finish with a full health but takes too long to finish a defender in BG so she is hardly used.

    She'd be a great 7*. She was featured alongside Juggs and others when we voted for the titan pool addition, but Juggs won
