so based on what I played around with on TC:

Taskmaster: awesome, great rework, is way more fun to play on top of being very strong

Juggernaut: Infinite sig build is a go. Yes you can run a build where all you do is Signature all over the place, spending like 2 seconds to fill momentum to max after you spend it all being unstoppable. Alternatively just stack movement/power cost reduction and run for minutes straight.

Surfer: Movement build is still alive, you just have to fit in the teleport, crashdown and repulse to the dash spamming. Can run the insanely powerful Rapid Healing buff on more often than off, so he makes himself and nearby teammates basically immortal, one shot effects aside.

As expected the midtown signet got toned down, but it's still insanely good for channeled movement powers.

Does Silver Surfer not get invulnerability during his dash?

Oh everyone gets that. Dashes last like 3/10ths of a second though, so for most heroes it's just a get out of trouble free card.

Also I forgot, Mr. Fantastic: You can be a ball that just rolls around crushing everything permanently. His gadgets are great too. Another excellent rework.

Honestly, if It were me I might substantially overbuff the least popular characters in the game too.

On that note, can't wait to roll over enemies with Marvel Heroes 2017's newest blue character, Violet Beauregarde.

Ghostlight has been kind enough to touch up the OP so gotta give credit where credit is due.

So later today while the servers are down, I'll post the new thread with a blurb about some of the major changes. Right at the top, I want to do bullet points for all the significant changes. Can somebody just post a list of the ones people should know and I'll put that in the OP.

Also, new thread title? Go.

at least gaz is going to be smart enough to release it on the other console judging by the DS4 icons ingame.

uh let's see:

no more skill points
every hero has a bank of skill changing talents
each hero scales off 2 or more theme appropriate stats rather than having stats specifically for damage
costume cores are their own slottable item
difficulty slider for every zone
dashes/teleports have limited charges, but are also now your cc break
8 skills slotted into power bar maximum
everyone has a free cost travel power at lvl 1
entire new class of items coming (later date TBD)

no, you can no longer use more than 1 power bar, 8 skills, so Strange is playable now within those restrictions

Didn't they basically do away with summoners as well? I remember reading here that Ultron's minions would be time-limited (like 15s) instead of health-limited because FUN.

Summoners currently are in a weird spot because their summon damage currently doesn't scale with any attribute(not even favored attributes) and Gaz has no idea what to do.
