As for the second point, he will most likely see a lot of use over the next week or so, as will the other three buffed champs, but most likely the interest will drop off once the hype dies down and people are finished testing the buffs and see each one’s uses and weaknesses.
Hood went from an above average champ with niche uses to an above average champ with no uses.

How often would you use symb supreme? All same fights actually. So it is once per month, you'd say. Does it mean he should be reworked into generic average champ?
Secondly, they also need to look into the heavy as there have been multiple reports of gaining bullets from the heavy, as well as the sp2. That also needs to be tested, and then a decision needs to be made on that as well.
Finally, even though they did respond by saying they are looking at everyone’s feedback regarding Hood’s update, there has yet to be an official response to that. Most likely, they’ll probably try to include everything in one statement rather than make multiple different posts so that all the information is in the same place.
I have to say, after the change he is much fun to play than it used be.
Now he's just an above average damage dealer with a bit of buff control. You know who else has that? 50% of the Mystic class.
There were situations pre-buff where you'd use him over Doom, Claire, Kali, Magik, SS, but not anymore. Now he's just a damage dealer in a sea full of damage dealers.
I used OML literally all the time , and I used him for TJ at buff against all tricky mystic champs.
We don’t know about hoods regen , but from reading it is working as intended some key wording changed his abilities.
Go on YouTube and read the comments, so many people are happy about this change because they can use him all over now. This forum only has small sample size of the Mcoc population.
I have plenty of end game friends and also friends who have just completed act 6 and they get their information and form their opinions through differ channels. I actually spoke to 3 end game and 3 mid game players this is a paraphrase of what they said .
End game 1.) I like that hood and massacre won’t be synergy pieces anymore , hood wasn’t necessarily a side piece , but I liked that he could
Spam SP2s back to back , Fate seal wasn’t something I used him for , but it was pointless to take out of his kit.
End Game 2.) I think best rework goes to Angela or Hood, Hoods damage is noticeably different , it was a drag to use him when I didn’t want to revive ghost .
End game 3 .) Did his prestige increase?
Mid Game 1.) I don’t own a Hood above a 4* , so I haven’t tested him out.
Mid game 2.) No one in our ally has talked about it yet, so I don’t know.
Mid game 3.) Hood got a buff? when ? is he good for 7.1 ? I liked him as a 4* back in the day and I didn’t think he needed a buff.

They have PTSD like old war vets from 12.0 .
I do hope this isn't just a one-way talk, but something really changes.
I am almost sure the regen in the updated Hood is a unintended interaction. But, I am willing to wait for Kabam to respond. He becomes a better champ if it stays, but I am not sure I will take him any further than R2.
Its an almost meaningless update for endgame players, we/they have counters other than Hood.
The main issues are two fold.
1) Why was it removed since we can see that having it in sp2 will not be too OP?
2) What does it mean for future updates if simply removing an utility and giving some damage will appease the masses?
Hood is more than a synergy piece now having decent damage, but you may need to bring in another mystic to deal with some annoying matchups in the future, which will be the real problem.
You’re right, I don’t know anyone that wanted to use magneto to tank an SP3. They’d pick ghost, iceman or Luke Cage. If someone asked for ideas, magneto was never brought up as an option, but sure maybe someone somewhere did.
Good for you on using OML, I’m sure it was a thrilling time using him against mystics, I’ll go ahead and assume it wasn’t mystics with mystic dispersion given how he used to work.
Now for Hoods regen, I literally said the same thing, we don’t know if it’s working as intended yet, so I don’t know why you bothered bringing that up like I said different?
Finally, I stand by my point, the honeymoon phase will end and many will go back to using whoever they used to use for big damage.
Quite frankly I don’t care either way if I’m right or wrong on the final point as my issue has always been the precedent this sets for future buffs, but of course you’ll just argue that it was supposedly set years ago with examples that aren’t really the same.
All fair points, the ending was just to show that people get their information all types of ways, not just the forum.
I think the reason why they removed it could have Possibly been a too strong of interaction with MD and his invisible mechanic, he could essentially stay invisible the entire fight and gain bullets and staggers the entire fight.
It could also be they simply thought fate seal was a redundant mechanic. There were only a few fate seals in the game . Strange, Symbiotic Suprme ; ghost rider , hood , SW , each of these fate seals are accessible through an SP3 except for hood. Two of those champs had reduced power gain , this makes me think that they know how powerful this mechanic is.
With fate seal on Hoods SP2 , you face this never ending loop of SP2s and you are invisible the whole time ; this would make him more potent than ghost in the game. This essentially renders the A.I pointless.
Hood doesn’t have power reduction which would make him more potent than Symbotic Supreme when buffs are involved.
Ghosting rider has to have his judgements reset in order to fate seal again.
It’s a powerful mechanic and something like that could bring hood to ridiculous power levels.
