For the love of god take KTs advice. Hulkbuster or Abom are likely defensive buffs and we'd only be hurting ourselves. How many have Abom anyway?Black Panther will likely depend on his bleeds and the game has tons of bleed champs anyway, and they're limited in the current meta.The remaining 3 remaining are likely to get attack buffs. Iron man probably being the safest bet there since IMIW is already a defender and Daredevil could have some interesting utility too.Don't vote for Hulkbuster cause of the memes. He's not going to be an attacker, just be a pain on defense and that costs everyone potions.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEwrT2jFvTQ

Even og ironman is better than hulkbuster. Every other trash champ has one some what redeeming quality hulkbuster has nothing

Everybody said that he's going to be a defender, too. But it seems that he will be much better in offense.

For the love of god take KTs advice. Hulkbuster or Abom are likely defensive buffs and we'd only be hurting ourselves. With all due respect, I think he's wrong. It is impossible to say how the developers will think a revamp through, so there's no certainty involved, but I believe the odds favor Hulkbuster becoming less of a defensive problem than Daredevil. First, I think KT1 thinks of Hulkbuster in terms of his tag and his "tankiness" but consider who the *most* problematic defenders are. They aren't the tanks. They are the counter-attackers. King Groot is tankier than Hulkbuster. Domino is a glass cannon. But Domino is the superior defender because King Groot cannot kill you with his health bar. He can maybe cause you to time out. But Domino can straight up assassinate you.HB procs armor. DD evades projectiles. Evade is more annoying than armor on a defender. There are a lot more avenues available to make DD more annoying than HB.Second, consider Colossus. The same thing was said about him: he's a tank, the devs are just going to make him more tanky, no one will want to play an even more lumbering tank. But in fact, they significantly upped his damage, keying off the fact that his original design did have damage increases with armor stacks on specials. They greatly expanded that for Colossus. Hulkbuster has a similar design: he armor breaks on specials. There is at least a significant chance that the developers follow a similar pattern, increasing HB's damage to expand on the very limited damage avenues he currently has.In fact, every revamp I can think of significantly increased the champion's offensive firepower, or the champion's ability to attack more effectively. This is true both for champions you'd expect to get more damage like She-Hulk and Red Hulk, but also champions you'd consider more defensive like Luke Cage. In fact, Venom is tagged a defensive champ and he deals plenty of damage.I believe the devs will make Hulkbuster more "defensive" in the sense the game uses the term and the tag. He will have more damage mitigation. But damage mitigation is not the most important thing that determines what makes strong defenders. Offensive counter-attack ability is what makes strong defenders. Hard to evade animations or attacks, evasion or other mechanics that cause attackers to miss, strike back damage or other passive damage abilities, and mechanics like auto-block all make champions into strong defenders even if they don't make the champion "defensive." Bottom line: I believe whether they buff DD or HB (or any of the others) they will try to enhance both their defensive abilities and their offense, and I think HB is more likely to get damage mitigation that helps players on attack and DD is more likely to get enhanced evasion which is more likely to help as a defender than an attacker.

Look at the champs that are listed as defensive tanks. Every single champ with that tag is used on defence apart from 5 who are used on defence and offence: emma, hype, venom, sentinel and thing and only one is used mainly for offence which is hulk. 13 champs and the vast majority are skewed defensively. Yes offensive champs may be better defenders but the defensive tanks constitutes the most defenders. Also you cant have luke cage as an example since he isnt termed as defensive tank.
