The "Silver Lining" Thread

We all know that the game is filled with champs which we'd rather not have. Some have no utility. Some struggle to deal damage. Many are just plain outdated. Hopefully Kabam is working on that with their monthly buff schedule, but in the meantime I thought it would be fun to point out the silver lining in some of the "meme tier" champs. I'll go first:

Rhino
Built like a tank to absorb tons of physical damage. Can be a tough defender. When played well his unstoppable can interrupt interceptors. Has a decent synergy with Red Guardian. His heavy attack can catch a defender off guard.

Groot
Poison and Bleed immunities make him great for running suicides. He has the ability to regen. His Sp 3 has a decent bleed. A fairly sustainable character, and can also be an annoying defender when placed on the right node in War.

Ghost.
Can purify damaging debuffs and convert them to passive fury.. Can get cruelty even though she can't crit naturally. Has a phase mechanic which makes her fairly sustainable. Some people used her in war and has a general opinion of her to be bad (karatemike).

Iron Patriot:

Express your American patriotism in MCoC by adding Iron Patriot to your questing team! Under the old red, white and blue is actually the villainous Dark Avenger Norman Osborn, so you get to savor a little anti-hero, moral ambiguity drama as you move about the Contest. Blending the familiar movesets of OGIM and Black Bolt, you won’t have to adjust your play style beyond 2016. Don’t bother with pots—just let yourself burn out in a blaze of glory as you savor the majesty of the Iron Patriot!

Fun to play champ, decent indestructable ability at high sig, helps clean out your overflow of potions with sig.

(This is before HB buff)

These champs are great for lowering your expectations so low that Mysterio becomes your new favorite champ when you pull him

Not a champion silver lining but....

When I waste 1k units plus on the Grandmaster and rage, at least I won't be addicted to mcoc anymore! Then I won't have to spend so much time on it lol. (Still grinding arena for units and haven't tried him yet)

Rhino: Monster for V6

ItsDamien

Cyclops (especially Red)

If you don't have a good armour up or power drain champ he's a viable Havok counter. Red Cyclops is also a Villain. If you need a V6 Havok counter but all your power control or armour up champs are heroes, you can use Red for that fight in particular.

King Groot is mostly useless but who doesn't love getting free willpower healing when fighting him

Groot
I Am Groot

Buffed up counter, Do you bleed , Unblockable 
sp2, good Damage, Definitely doesn't need a buff if anything he needs a nerf

Demonzfyre

Moon Knight- Had the best SP3 animation in the game. Fun to play and educational since you get to learn about the moon's phases.

UnidentifiedCreature

Whenever you pull Karnak, the only silver lining is that you've hit the absolute bottom of the barrel, and it cant possibly get worse.

At least venompool looks cool. Karnak just looks like a homeless dude.
