And all while half the playerbase can't even play. :discourse:

They're definitely designed to be a team, since 4 of them are leaving things on the table without Magneto on the team and Magneto himself gets a pretty big first turn order boost with the rest.
As a theme on the whole, they seem dedicated to making sure they can continually deal AOE damage, with two ways to dispel Stealth and every character having some multi-target attack(s).

Edit: The Bio tag has been removed from Magneto. Fair enough.

Yet another totally worth it orb deal for a new character! For $50 USD, the Juggernaut orb gives you 55 Juggernaut shards and 8 orbs. If each orb gives you just 5 shards (which is incredibly likely) then you just spent loving fifty bucks to get 95 shard and not even get the goddamned character. HELL YEAH

Yeah but you'll get plenty of orbs from the juggernaut event too one would assume. I mean, I'd really love to give them my money since I've waited all this time for more mutants and they're really delivering now, but I spent $60 on RDR2 and when I compare that game to this it's like... shouldn't they be paying ME to play this thing?

The best suggestion I've heard about this game is that the payday event should be every two weeks, like how you get paid at most hourly wage jobs.

Juggernaut's not a mutant. And if you're paying that much for something you shouldn't still have to wait for the free scraps.

drat I figured they'd tag him as a mutant anyway just because of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. My x-men team will never have a taunter until they put Colossus in I guess. As for waiting a day for the one orb you'd need to get 5 shards to finish off the lowest possible roll of the rest of his orbs in the pack, that has less to do with the value of the package and more the nature of loot boxes. I really wish we could get away from microtransactions having to be a gamble and go back to everyone buying the exact same stuff, and those who want better "odds" just wait patiently for a sale on those same items.

Speaking of, why is Deadpool tagged as a mutant? If they're hewing so close to the comics as to make Juggernaut and Yondu mystics, why isn't Deadpool a bio like Spider-Man and Cap?

Because he IS a mutant; he gets his powers from an X gene. Spider-Man and Cap got radiation and/or special chemicals to make them what they are.

X-Men is weird.

Yeah. Deadpool is the same as Cap in that he was turned into a superhuman, but it was via an x-gene being implanted or whatever, so he's sort of a mutant?

Remember in Marvel Heroes when the Sentinals fought a non mutant hero it would go "Super Powered Threat Detected", so I don't think they're picky.

DP/Cable not counting was a real blade in the ribs, but cmon guys: if they let us use all the mutants we've been building up piecemeal, that gives them less ground to twist our arms for $30 bundles of shards.

It's literally gambling. Every red orb you open has an infinitesimal chance to be a 7* red for a particular hero, meaning the top of arena in a couple days will be people that pumped ludicrous money in to the point that their good heroes got the stars they need.
