If we had this conversation a couple years ago, it would be going a very different way, with Mystics being the top of everyone's mind, and Mutants lagging quite far behind, but not as far behind as Science.
The Contest is always changing, and with each new addition, we see the power dynamic of classes change. This will continue to happen, and I wouldn't be surprised if this same thread pops up a year from now asking for new, strong, Cosmic or Mutant Champions.

So true. I remember for so long, Mystic was the strongest.
but you have to consider the diffrence between 4*s and 6*s as well! mystic were good when 4*s were a thing now champions are 10x more powerful and exist in 6*s! we cant possibly compare a 6* ironfist,mordo,mephisto,dormamu,DS, to what 6* cull obisidian,omega,namor,domino,corvus,new capt.marvel can do! oh even newly released mystics diablo or ebony cant even come close to what 4* version or these champs can do. keeping a little balance among champs m classes cant hurt.

Yeah, they were the pinnacle for awhile.Then came Blade, the MD nerf, and no new Mystics for awhile. Of the last 3 we got, only 1 was worthy of attention. Symbiote Supreme. Let's face it, Diablo blows. Maw... eh... could've been worse, but also could've been better. At this point, I'd settle for a MCU Variant of Doctor Strange coming in.
There's a wonderful list on Page 1 of great Mystic champs. Also, and I'll keep pushing for this one because he's pretty raw dog IMO, VENGEANCE!!! He looks pretty sick, and GR needs a buddy, lol. Or perhaps with the coming of the Ghost Rider series on Hulu we'll see a Robbie Reyes variant of the Rider and maybe Hellstrom considering he's also getting a series. There's also Satana, Clea Strange, Supergiant (although she could go Cosmic just the same), Sister Grimm, or Elsa Bloodstone. I'd be down to see any of those come into the contest.

Some good ideas there. I think the point Miike was getting at was that it always shifts. I don't think we'll ever be at a point where each Class is equally as strong. It entirely depends on what's added that year. It fluctuates.

you missed the part where they nerfed 2 mystics instead of bringing counters to the champs which they do now. And now one of the mystics is in 5* where he is like the antman of all pulls and one is waiting forever to be in 5* crystals bcoz she is op???? makes no sense when we have champs like domino, ghost and havok in 5* and 6*
There are plenty of champs to choose from and every single one has its use. Colossus is not great but he is bleed immune, kamala Khan is a load of garbage but is poison immune, good for taking out abominations especially with the recent nano-shock node. Iron fist is probably the most useless in existence but he can still fight many many champions and win. If anything, we don’t need any more additions to the game. Improve what you have instead of having every single champion
Oh Absolutely @GroundedWisdom , no doubt man. It always fluctuates. Just been a bit since we got some nice solid Mystic action. Hopefully soon we'll see someone wicked get added to the Mystic class. I will always love Mystics in general, but that's just me. I know plenty do as well, but there's also those that couldn't care less. Can't please everyone all the time, lol.
Its a matter of the comics. There is a massive number of mutants but not many tech or especially good mystics.
Do not give me that excuse, there aren't less potential mystic/tech characters if you actually look for them for like, 5 minutes.
Trouble is, a lot of your examples are villains rather than heroes; and on balance, the game developers tend to favour producing a greater proportion of heroes.
Also half your examples would be Science or some other class. I mean, Cloak and Dagger got their powers from an experimental drug; Scorpion was given his by the Power Broker, Spiderman 2099 genetically modified himself in a scientific experiment. Odin would clearly be Cosmic...
Wiccan and Malekith are nice suggestions, though; and there are rumours Dracula could be on the way.

It was a summary. I know there's more. Plenty more. There's also the tin man with a helmet that's 800k in loyalty... who ends up being rather useless, lol. There's a myriad of Mystics that could use a Buff. No question. There's also that SW situation. She'd be a welcomed addition to the 5* pool for sure! Maybe someday.
"Introducing Symbiote Iron Spider (cosmic) and Uncle Ben's ghost (mystic). Sym Iron Spider will have the damage output of Sparky and the defensive abilities of IMIW. Uncle Ben will have Ebony Maw's damage and Electro's health pool", Kabam replies

Not to impune on your idea, but this is what popped into my head. Lol!
Blade could have gone either way. Since his kit focuses mainly on using his swords and guns to bleed, it makes sense he’s skill. The only real mysticism in his kit he utilizes is his enhanced regeneration factor. Honestly this debate is far less important than other champ debates. Like Korg being skill instead of cosmic. Sometimes Kabam/Marvel just classify them to what might be needed in the game. When Blade came out, so did two other mystics and skill was a really awful class. Probably the worst class at the time honestly. It wasn’t until Blade was introduced as skill that the class finally started gaining some momentum.
You're overlooking what is unquestionably his greatest ability and why the term "Holy Trinity" exists in this game: Danger Sense. This is a mystic ability he has because he is part vampire.

Or he’s just very adept at fighting certain enemies, in this case villains and mystics. If you trained extensively to just defeat one type of enemy, you would eventually learn how to fight them more efficiently. You would know how to engage (lower ability accuracy) and hit them where they’re most vulnerable (attack bonus). Danger Sense doesn’t have to have a mystic origin.
Its a matter of the comics. There is a massive number of mutants but not many tech or especially good mystics.
Here are a few
Mystic 1) Doctor Doom 2) Enchantress 3) Dracula 4) Blackheart 5) Odin 6) Morbius 7) Werewolf by Night 8) The Living Mummy 9) Wiccan 10) The Ancient One 11) Kaecillius 12) Malekith 13) Cloak and Dagger
Tech 1) Whiplash 2) Lady Deathstrike 3) Jocasta 4) Ironheart 5) Tinkerer 6) Shocker 7) Forge 8) The Destroyer 9) Spider-Man 2099 10) Titanium Man 11) Scorpion 12) Scorpion 2099

Ummm. Morbius is definitely science.
Same with dr doom debately Spider man 2099 is science Odin is cosmic

Besides the already mentioned potential mystics, I'd add a few that I've been wanting to see:
Man-thing (could be science bc he injects a serum. but it's said mystical forces caused his transformation) Nightmare Topaz Jennifer kale Monica Rambeau (some might say cosmic, but exposure to extra-dimensional energy gave her powers) Shuma-gorath Fin Fang Foom
The last two could be hard to pull off lol. There's more I'm sure, but those were the ones not listed that i could think of off the top of my head.
Tech is tougher though. You could argue that many of the characters in the tech class could be skill, bc their expert use of technology is in itself a skill, eh? Lol

This is the only time I have ever, and probably will ever quote a mod, but I always here mods posting about "balance". If balance is such an importance to them, then they shouldn't use the excuse "contest is always changing......power dynamic of classes change". If balance is so important then there shouldn't have been this conversation a couple years ago....nor should it be now. Maybe advise the devs that for future planning bring in different classes instead of the same one for....let me say it again..."balance". Only cause one class was more dynamic a few years ago doesn't mean now the other classes have to be dynamic and leave that other one rotting. Just my two cents but whatevs. lol

In fact mike said: Lets do balance by picking one class and then unalance it and then recreate Balance by making another class unbalanced again... oke? LOL

Exactly my point. They're saying that if one class is overpowered now, some other class will be overpowered then. Where's the balance in this?
Mystic, I agree with. But tech has a lot of great options. Sparky, darkhawk, SL, sentinel, ghost are all obvious. But also, doc ock is a great power/health controller, visions are great power controllers, yondu is a solid heal blocker, IMIW is a swiss army knife and counters annoying matchups like korg, vulture is super underrated and counters havok easily, nebula and ultron are great double immunity champions, and now there’s a new addition to the class who looks pretty solid in Mysterio. Tech is pretty decently stacked
Well if you're considering champions with such niche uses then I should consider Mister Sinister, Wolverine, Wolverine X-23, Hela, Angela, Thor, Bishop, Heimdall, The Champion too, right? Will anyone actually take up Vulture or Yondu for such mediocre uses? I don't think so.
I took Yondu up to deal with the passive AI in just about everything.
And buffet and masochism nodes. Just to make em go away with spam sp1 lol
yeah, that too. Also Mr. Sinister anywhere.
Okay. I guess you guys proved me wrong there, sorry. But still, if you look at how many champions in the tech and mystic class who have uses like these, and then compare them to the champions in the mutant and cosmic class, they're still lagging behind in numbers.
Eh ita just how games like this go. For the longest time mystic was the top class. Now it is a bit lacking comparativly speaking. Itll come back around.
Mystic was never a powerfull class.Is there any champion or was who can do every single content in game faster than aegon,ghost,blade like character no way.Even scarlet witch was not available as 5*.But that's a different thing.Magic and symbiot supreme only good for short fights even depending on which nodes on we are using them
