So I've got 700-ish splinters left over and haven't played in months. What characters are actually fun/not preparing to be nerfed into non-existence?

So far I'm looking at Nightcrawler, Ultron, or Doctor Doom.
I remember reading that Nightcrawler is in a pretty decent place currently, for what it's worth.

Or later, later's fine.
But now would be good.

As is Ultron if you don't mind a weird "stomp and then chest laser to do a lot of crits and bruts" build.

Basically all 3 of NC, Ultron, and Doom are good, but it comes down to what you want:

Little bit of everything maybe? (probably not summoner still because ahahahaha no) - Doom
Stomp and laser all - Ultron
Constantly be in and out of fights and mashing all buttons forever and having near pre-rework levels of mobility across the map - Nightcrawler

doom still uses his power that summons the shield, flame, and drum bot, both because they're good and because they're tied to a usable physical damage attack talent.

I think I'll go with nightcrawler because I already have enough stomp and smash characters. Does NC die to a stiff wind or does his mobility give him enough survivability to not eat poo poo to any random blue maggia?

He's extremely survivable when built for lots of teleporting.

Also he has more "get out of the aoe" buttons than just about anyone and goes invisible every second or two to reset enemy targeting. Which is pretty helpful.

You and I seem to have different opinions of the term "content." When you hear new content, you are expecting a permanent area you can go to. To me, anything that goes into the game is content. This includes costumes, fortune cards, events, updates (like the animation cancel update we did on all 60+ heroes).
If this actually is the definition of "content" at Gaz in general it sure would explain a lot.

An idea I have for the four-year anniversary event.
Rather than the free hero ticket, which is always nice...

What about a free team-up hero ticket? That would be nice also.

As a semi-veteran myself, although I still view myself as a newbie...
I joined in October of 2015. I have 51 playable heroes and 28 team ups.

But there are still a handful of team ups I haven't unlocked yet on my roster.
Another handful of playable heroes I still need. So to me either one would work well.

Last summer for the three-year anniversary event...
I had gotten Doctor Doom playable with my free hero ticket.

Maybe make it a global free ticket. Where we can unlock one playable hero or team-up hero. It would be really nice to have that freedom of choice for the four-year anniversary event! I think newer players, especially, would really like having that nice choice to make.
What if we just gave you 1k ES to spend however you like?

I'll even go ahead and say what I'm working on right now. A future playable character.

I don't even...

What the Oh.. My stars and garters! are you thinking?

This kind of garbage is what is turning the community against you so fast. I don't think anyone doubted that MM could be working on a new hero. As much as your work has slowed down to a snails crawl on the PC we didn't think it would stop altogether and new heroes is one of the few things that actually gets you good play still (plus heroes can be ported to console).

So, you may be trying to make light of this whole situation, but all you are doing with this is insulting all of your customers.

Your snark is basically equating legitimate concerns about there being anything more than words when it comes to meaningful development on the PC side (no a new hero doesn't count, especially before people see if its anything better than Fury quality), doubt of which derives from your own failure to produce results, with a complete irrational denial of anything said.

I'm not even offended because you lost me awhile ago (my love for the game that was it what keeps me hovering around here). But I'm confident there is no upside for this kind of snark from you right now.

Sadly, instead of taking a look in the mirror and questioning how your attitude towards the players is impacting their perception of you, you'll probably interpret this as an overreaction and retreat from talking even more, making everything worse. For your own benefit don't do that. You guys need to sit down with PR and figure this out.

I'm agreeing with you here since there is a decent chance that a non-zero amount of those teamups probably would have ended up being playable characters instead.

Their argument for team ups was that already having art and animation done for them made it more likely they'd become full characters rather than less likely, but the exact number of team ups progressing even to just being an alternate costume is zero.

Do you seriously believe that Gaz has the dev power sitting around that could be turning these team-ups (who are mostly fairly-copy/paste clumps of full hero powers) into full, playable releases? Besides, eleven of my team-ups already are playable, and most of them have at least one straight clone. There's no reason to believe a world without team-ups would have a fuller playable roster.

Team-Ups always seemed kinda tacked on to me because this is supposed to be a multiplayer game and shouldn't I be teaming up with other players? Managing a whole other set of items for Team-Ups was more annoying to me than exciting.

Also, the whole "team-ups are more likely to become playable and vice-versa" thing kept me hoping that I might see a playable Howard the Duck someday. And hope kills.
