Silver surfer...the biggest disappointment of 2019

Let’s break this character down. Overall the best thing he has going for him is his amazing prestige. If you’re not in a top ally, you probably don’t care too much. Overall if you play him well and rotate the buffs, his damage output is mediocre. He is not suicide friendly at all, but his immunities to shock and incinerate allow him to take on freezer burn and shock nodes. He is definitely no god, (probably a high demigod) using Seatin’s tier list. The problem with this champ is that he just causes disappointment after all the hype surrounding him. People have wanted Ss in game since it’s release, and being teased again and again and getting this mediocre champion was not an exciting prospect. Overall, not a bad champ. The expectations just didn’t live up to the final product.

Now sure, it's entirely possible some people wouldn't be satisfied unless Silver Surfer were game breaking, but as it is this is another Sentry situation.
Sorry to hear that your are disappointed in the Silver Surfer Champion. While we understand that everybody has expectations for every new Character that is added, we are not going to be able to live up to the expectations for everybody. Every Character is somebody's favourite, and we always do our best to make Characters that everybody can be excited about, but will not be able to hit that mark for everybody.
Different Characters and their Kits will appeal to different players, some will be more useful to people in certain progression points than others.
We didn't mean to "hype" him, and I don't think we really did. He's been a part of the Story all year long, and has shown up as part of it.
Anyway it's not the end of the world either way. It is what it is.

fyi nobody liked Corvus when he initially came out either lol not saying Surfer is that level, just a funny observation.
If they were all god tier, there wouldn't be a god tier (technically)
But Silver Surfer is a huge fan favorite, and he has been teased for a year now.
Kabam has learned the art of developing characters who are nuanced and have depth in their playstyle. The developers have gone on record as saying nobody has figured out how to tap into the true potential of Doc Ock and Elsa Bloodstone yet.
Hopefully Silver Surfer falls in that category.
From my math, at 5/65 sig 200, he gets around 3700 extra attack total from his furies, with SP3 aptitude buff active. That's the equivalent of one decent RNG Hyperion heavy. Need to get those numbers up, those are rookie numbers.
Imagine when the planet eater arrives.
