One Viewpoint: Most Needed Buffs

End of the month with things winding down in game, so I strolled through my roster and took a look at the champs I haven’t ranked or thought of in a while.
By class, here’s a list of champs I think are hurting most for a buff of some kind, if for no other reason just to make them somewhat relevant.
I was actually surprised to discover there weren’t more than a few in each class—granted, some champs not on my list could use help, but in any game there have to be middle of the road characters. While not on anyone’s wish list, middling champs are in my view less in need of an immediate buff (think: Modok or Mordo).
In a few spots, I included (Dis)Honorable Mentions.
Skill: Karnak, CWBP, Agent Venom
DHM: Elektra
Science: Rhino, AntMan, Sentry
DHM: OGSpidey
Mutant: Cykes, Beast, DPX
Cosmic: Groot, Drax, SIM
DHM: OGCM
Tech: Rocket, IP, GG
Mystic: Iron Fist, Juggs, Dorm
Not exhaustive, but when I look at the champs above, it’s hard not to see them as the most disappointing pulls of each class. Several of them are on my 6* roster, and all are on my 5* slate. Most are old and simply not up to date with the current game state. Updating them, even a bit, would be great.

Would I mind a BB buff? Of course not. But I think Drax, Groot and SIM need them far more.

Going to join the rank 3 beast train like a couple other people on here?
Do I think lists like this matter? Who knows? But they at least get someone’s attention because they always get mothballed to another site in the forums.

What I would also offer is that these champs don’t have to become best in class—just useful and fun to play.
I think about Hulkbuster, Falcon, even Pun2099. Solid improvements that make a champ a decent team member. Not every buff has to be Magneto level.

If we go by the assumption that all champs will eventually get a buff of some sort, it'll just raise the bar of what a "bad" champs is. In doing this we'll also see the middle ground of "okay" champs grow immensely, and showcase just how busted some of the "top" champs are.
There will always be a hierarchy of Bad to Great even if everyone is eventually buffed.
Spidey, og cap and cap ww2 need it more than sentry for sure
UC, Thor jf more then dorm
Skill rag Thor and moon knight also should be there. I actually have r2 Karnak over rag Thor
Tech og im more then gg for sure. At very least could've mention him
There’s the same number again of champs that could do with a tiny tweak to make them more user friendly to increase their usage like VtD and Nebula.
MK is a good add, but I felt like he got some decent synergy love. I omitted UC because I didn’t want to include trophy champs. Cap WW2...my 6* is awakened and I cry for how good he used to be so long ago.
Anyway...always some adds possible. I’d just like there to be some kind of Top 20 that is always in the minds of the team when they look to see who gets improved.
Cheers!

I also fully support the idea that some champs must be mediocre and I feel like that's where some of the buffs aim. Look at DDHK for example - he has some value and unique kit, but he is mediocre. Has something to offer (miss counter, purify) but is outshined by better champs
Capt OG & Starlord.
Starlord is still okay, but he just meh compare to another combo heroes like Aegon, Guil2099.
I know it would broke the rule, coz synergy Aegon & Starlord wow crazy, but Starlord i really think deserve the buff.
And Cap OG is just a joke, i think no one even consider rank him up high. If he doesnt belong to god tier class, at least he deserve top spot.
As an old timer, kinda nostalgic if Kabam have a will to buff them.
