if you can balance a tac-hammer on your head, you can head off your opponent with a balanced attack

Metroid sighting huh? Well, I did just pour this coffee...it will still be there tomorrow.

If your question is "What's new since I last played?" the answer is usually "SO MUCH STUFF, HOLY poo poo", this game has been on a tear with adding content at a faster pace than basically anything else around, and they've been hiring new developers, programmers, and artists to make it happen even more quickly.

David Brevik wants the team to get to a point where we're frequently getting 2 new heroes a month instead of just 1, alongside a monthly new team-up and frequent new content. I don't know if they'll manage that, but even just maintaining their current speed of content creation is impressive.

I guess the main thing I'm wondering is: will I have to relearn any major functions of the game to play, or is it the same gameplay with a lot of new content and heroes?

It's the same game with a lot of new heroes and a bit of new content.

I seriously hope they never get to 2 new heroes a month, the amount of diminishing returns and hero bloat would be huge

Well after the 52s are done that will clear up a considerable amount of design team resources. Doing an extra hero every other month or so would not be unreasonable. It kinda fits with the 'goal' of 15 heroes this year.

They are going to run out of heroes at that rate.

Also new players, this game is pretty loving cool. Ignore spergs in this thread, hop on and beat up mooks as a super hero.

The new stuff that you'll have to learn is basically the two raids. There's also a new Age of Ultron mode coming this friday, and Cosmic versions of the two patrol zones which are obscenely difficult comparatively. But the game still plays the same for the most part. There's some QoL stuff so it's more fun and easier to do some things, a lot of old characters got reworked so they'd be better, a lot of items have changed or been introduced, and of course there's a buttload of new heroes to check out too.

At it's core it's the same game though, you shouldn't have any trouble getting back into it.

Their heroes usually need more time in testing, not less, so I don't think 2 heroes a month is a good goal to have.

If anything the game has gotten easier to pick up with better design in talent trees, tutorials, some UI tweaks etc

Adjusting numbers and adding one or two new powers is significantly less work than entire 52s though. The reworks of those guys will be on par with Hawkeye and Black Widow's most recent changes- one or two new powers and a lot of mechanics and number adjustment to make things flow better, without requiring a ton of new animation.

Loki needs it the most though.

Most of the QoLs won't need that much work though, mainly numbers passes and unique tuning. But the new powers and animations will be minimal.
