Unbalanced

It’s now turned into Marvel Contest of Blades lol ... looking at the 100 top PI summoners, only 43 don’t have Blade as their top champ. Not complaining, just think it’s funny that so many people have him now. Something drastic will change soon because this doesn’t seem right at the moment

It’s not just because he’s one of the best champs in the game, although obviously that’s a huge factor. Prestige is also though, he’s very high prestige. Just look at brutal dlx, kicked for ranking spark. If blade was lower prestige, I’m confident in saying we’d see a lot more dr voodoo, gwenpool, archangel and spark, maybe ghost rider too.

I think if they are going to adjust which even though I got super lucky and pulled him twice today I know will happen the best way to do it is to lower his prestige to be in the middle or lower end of champions and change the holy trinity synergies. Keeps the champion completely intact but will make him less popular with the higher-ups

There's also the fact we only see the top five champs in profile, so even if there was a champ all the top players ranked up if its prestige is low we simply wouldn't be able to tell.

So at the very top the high prestige champions tend to get ranked up specifically for the prestige, and by definition they are the only ones we see getting ranked up regardless.

Just for giggles, I took a look at the top 20 players' profiles just to see who showed up. Here's which champions were currently there as of when I looked, and how many players had them in profile:

Archangel (2)
Blade (17)
Cable (1)
Carnage (1)
Dormammu (1)
Drax (1)
Ghost Rider (1)
Gwenpool (10)
Hela (1)
Hood (2)
Hulk (1)
Iceman (4)
King Groot (1)
Magik (9)
Mephisto (2)
Modok (1)
Mordo (2)
Morningstar (1)
Phoenix (1)
Quake (3)
Rogue (2)
Sentry (2)
Stark Enhanced Spiderman (1)
Starlord (1)
Thor Ragnarok (4)
Ultron (1)
Void (2)
Dr. Voodoo (4)

I also clicked on an alliance invite button by mistake: apologies in advance to the player my finger accidentally tapped the wrong button on who's going to wonder what sort of recruiting mission I could possibly be on.

If everyone has him, sounds pretty balanced to me

Marvel Contest of Blades > Marvel Contest of Mystics

You can only pick one. Would you rather get Limbo'd to death through no fault of your own or use Blade to make it easier?

Unit drain or unit saver? Pick one.

That’s not strictly true. A rank 5 low prestige will still be higher prestige than a rank 4 high prestige, especially at the 200 sig level

I like the idea of changing the synergies and not his abilities. But bringing in more buffs to champs and better defenders would be the best option. Preferably defenders that aren’t villains

I think it's mostly prestige. Blade is currently at #4 I think and the 3 above him are phoenix, sentry, and thor rags. Obviously those champs are complete garbage so Blade is the highest prestige champ in the game that is actually useful.

If sparky and blade switched prestige, every account would have r5 spark faces and blade would be left at r4.

It’s really that simple
