Character Wishlist Thread 3.0

New forums, new Character Wishlist thread

Just as a reminder, our rules:

Character requests are still a very frequent topic of conversation within our community, and with good reason - there are a ton of amazing Marvel characters in their universe.

The old Character wish list thread was ballooning a bit, and several characters requested in that thread have since been added to The Contest. We're starting up a new thread to house these discussions so that they can continue, but in a more up to date manner.

A few FAQ's:

1) Why haven't you added (X character) yet?!

A: there are so many characters we want to add, but simply haven't gotten to yet. A character's lack of presence in the Contest currently does not necessarily mean that we've overlooked them or that we don't already have them on our radar. Our teams have a finite amount of time in order to produce content, and we'd love to bang characters out quicker - but still need to maintain realistic developer cadences.

2) We need more female characters and more diversity.

A: Our own team is quite diverse itself, and we agree that representation is an important concern!

3) Why do you bother adding (X re-skinned character) when you've not even had a chance to add (x character not in The Contest)?

A: While some people are not a fan of character re-skins, MANY of our players are. The Marvel universe is one with a lengthy lore, and almost every beloved character has gone through some sort of costume change or shift at some point in their super-powered careers. These differences offer a good opportunity to re-introduce players to content they may not have managed to obtain the first time around, and allowing new players to pick up a certain champion while still keeping things a bit fresh. Our goal is to have a healthy balance between release types.

4) Can you confirm if a requested character is going to be released?

A: The short answer is no. We have specific timelines regarding when we can announce content, and that means that we can't pop in to say 'hey, that person is coming!'. For those wanting to keep on top of our latest announcements or teases, following our Twitter and Facebook accounts are your best shot. We also have an Instagram account that you should follow. Here are our social channels for easy access:

Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/marvelcontestofchampions

So go forth, and suggest! We're not going to individually reply to the comments and suggestions that we see, but we are reading everything.

This should go without saying, but please discuss the characters you'd like to see without insulting each other or trying to discredit someone's opinion. Friendly debate is welcome, but the emphasis here is 'friendly' ; )

Wendigo - Class: Mystic

Heavy Attack:

- Each hit has a 100% chance of inflicting a passive Stagger debuff on the opponent that lasts 10 seconds.

Special 1 - Rampant Slash:
Wendigo attacks the opponent with its huge paws and long claws. - 3 Hits.
- Upon activating this attack, Wendigo gains a passive Regeneration buff that heals 10.45% of health.
- Each hit has a 90% chance of inflicting the Bleed debuff on the opponent.

Special 2 - Rampage of the Beast:

- This attack is Unblockable for the entire duration of this attack.
- Final hit Stuns the opponent for 5 seconds.

Special 3 - Northern Wrath:
The Wendigo roars terribly loudly, then attacks the opponent, going berserk and throwing him around. - 8 Hits.
- This attack imposes a "Frostburn" debuff on the opponent, dealing 3000 energy damage over 5 seconds. When this debuff is active, Wendigo passively Roots the opponent for the duration of Frostburn.
- Wendigo gains the passive Fury and the Unblockable for 8 seconds.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Passive - Ancient Curse of the Creature:
- The Wendigo, as a being cursed by the Elder Gods and turning into a huge beast through the act of cannibalism, is immune to all magical tricks, such as Nullify, Stagger, and Fate Seal effects. His thick fur gives him extreme resistance to cold, reducing cold damage by 90%. However, Wendigo itself is immune to the effects of Frostbite and Rupture.
- His enormous physique makes him extremely physically durable, reducing physical damage by 60%.

Passive - Cannibalistic Fury:
- The Wendigo naturally behaves very defensively, retreating, blocking, or attacking tactically, but when the Wendigo or its opponent drops below 60%/30% health, the Wendigo goes into a huge frenzy and gains the passive Fury buff, increasing its Attack Rating by 40% and Unblockable for 10 seconds, becoming much more aggressive in his fighting style and disposition. While Fury is active, Wendigo's attacks cannot be Missed or Evaded. Fury gains an additional +5% potential for each active Bleed debuff on an opponent. Once the Fury ended itself, the Wendigo returns to its calmer fighting style.

Signature Ability - The Wind Cries Wendigo:
- Wendigo, while standing still, howls in an attempt to warn its opponent. Wendigo howls in three ways:
- 1: When Wendigo is below 1 power bar, its howl grants it a Physical Resistance buff that increases its Physical Resist by 500 for 15 seconds. Max out at the 3 stacks.
- 2: When Wendigo is below 2 power bar, but above 1 bar of power, its howl grants it a Regeneration buff that heals 5.10%-13.85% of health over 5 seconds (depending on Signature Ability Level). Max out at the 3 stacks.
- 3: When Wendigo is below 3 power bars, but above 2 bars of power its howl grants it the Energize buff, increasing its Combat Power Rate by 20% for 15 seconds. Max out at the 3 stacks.
- If an opponent tries to interrupt the Wendigo's howl, they will be punished by activating the Wendigo's Unstoppable and Indestructible passives for 2 seconds.

I would like to see Gentle! The wakandian mutant with vibrinum (?) tattoos with hulk like strength!

And Prowler!

Saw this & had to look up Gentle cause I’ve never heard of him before today. Gotta say, he’d be perfect for the contest as one of the wildcard champs Kabam adds every year like Kindred & Massacre.

So ideas for Gentle’s play style would be time oriented. Since his power is strength augmentation he wouldn’t be much in a fight until his ability activated. But once it does I could see him dealing serious damage to his opponent.

It’d be like a frenzy type buff where his vibranium tattoos glow while his ability is in use signalling he’s powered up & looking to do damage. It’d be cool if a stockpile mechanic was used to build up Gentle’s ability. Something like 100 charges equals 10 seconds of power while he’s fighting with a cool off of half the time. Example: Gentle would be able to activate his power at any time. Maybe by using specials or a more fun way would be like Shocker where Gentle would build his dormant charges & have to hold a heavy attack to activate them giving him massive explosive power with the likes of unblockable & unstoppable. Gentle’s dormant charges would scale with time as well with 10 charges equaling 1 second of usage. So even just a single hit from Gentle with 10 charges using his heavy will do plenty of damage to the opponent.

Obviously this is more for Kabam to organize & all but I had to comment & say how amazing of a character Gentle is, theory craft a character concept & showcase how fun he could be in the contest.

Speaking of strength augmentation though, makes me think of Strong Guy.

If I were to theory craft a character for him it would be something like Strong Guy has to get hit to build his power.

Blocking builds it but being struck clean doubles its speed.

Example: Strong Guy gets hit in a block gives 1 passive strength charge where Strong Guy gets hit clean gives 2.

These “strength” charges would be passive buffs that can’t be nullified. What they would do is increase Strong Guy’s power & physical resistance. Because Strong Guy’s power is kinetic energy based, any non-physical attacks,

ie; energy attacks, won’t give Strong Guy “strength” passives & would there by be a key exploitable weakness for players to use against him.

Strong Guy would lose “strength” passives when connecting punches with the opponent.

Example: Strong Guy builds “strength” passives, when Strong Guy hits the opponent with 10 strength charges he dished out direct physical damage to the opponent based on how many charges there are X whatever the base power increase of the strength charge is. So say 1 strength charge is at a base power of 200 & added physical resistance of 200, obviously scaled to his sig & rarity, if Strong Guy had 10 passives & 1 passive is 200 damage then the first strike would be 2000 damage & the combo would follow like this for first to third hit: 1st=2000, 2nd=1800, 3rd=1600, etc. & obviously Strong Guy’s physical resistance would go down the same way.

This type of kit would make it so that Strong Guy is an absolute nightmare on defence for AW cause of his ability to stockpile these “strength” passives while being struck, increasing his power & physical resistance which will only help increase his power more cause he’ll take less & less damage.

Obviously Strong Guy would have a massive health pool as well. & another cool way to get Strong Guy to lose these charges is through his special attacks where the final hit of his special attacks removes all of his saved buffs dishing out massive damage to the opponent.

It would be something like each hit of the special scales the same as it would if Strong Guy was hitting normally but at the end of the special it would be all charges multiplied by their numbers & added together.

Example: if Strong Guy had 7 charges & they were all multiplied by 200 there individual values would be 1400, 1200, 1000, 800, 600, 400 & 200. Say the special move hit 3 times. It would mean the 1st hit deals 1400 direct physical damage, the 2nd deals 1200, & because the 3rd hit is the final hit it would deal (1000+800+600+400+200) or 3000 direct physical damage to the opponent. Obviously these numbers are small & for a max out, fully awakened 6* I could see a hit dealing upwards of 300,000 direct physical damage if Strong Guy has enough passives going.

Another play on these “strength” charges affecting Strong Guy’s play is by making his specials unblockable when he’s stockpiled an abundance of charges, like 10 or whatever to maximize his damage output.

Strong Guy’s class would be Mutant.

He would probably cause some debuffs like concussion, slow, stun, armour break or physical vulnerability.

Some synergy champs Strong Guy could gel with are the likes of Hulk (classic), Hulk (immortal), Havok, Drax, Colossus, Cable & Domino. I’m sure there’s more I just can’t think of any atm.

Hope Kabam reads this & finds it interesting enough that we could get Strong Guy potentially later this year or next year. I figure Kabam maps out there champs for the full year & his earliest chance will be next year.
