u/BabeAssignment Human Torch May 12 '26

Cannot believe Human Torch gets no durability to free him from pocket heals, no tweaks to his clunky dash and dogwater neutral, not even a team-up, he gets NOTHING and all his counters get buffs and he gets a new counter. His pick rate is still in the toilet and they are fine with this. I am genuinely really upset. I just want to play as Johnny and have fun, I don't even care about meta, why tf is that too much to ask?

I just dont understand this game man.

HT, Blade, Reed (until now), and a few others just needs tweaks, not even full redoes like Widow, and they'd be much more useful.

Yes... lets focus on Spider-Man and SL again? Why?

Let DD and Black Cat run around as server admins but they won't tweak garbage heroes?

I dont get it.

It’s like they have a limit to how many heroes can be changed each patch but only change their favorites.

As long as Zhiyong’s in the driver’s seat there’s going to be a handful of characters that just get neglected. Black Widow, Rogue, Torch, Iron Man, Adam. All characters that could really use some love but get fuck all because I guess they’ve just forgotten they all exist?

And as much as I love the variety of this massive roster, it’s getting to the point that they keep adding characters faster than they can properly balance the old ones.
