I'm still learning it but it's definitely the closest thing we've gotten to OG Overwatch since OG Overwatch. If you had fun playing Overwatch back in the day this is a must.

Who is your favourite hero so far?
I only played as Black Widow so far but she seemed really good (I work 10 hour shifts so I don't get much playtime during the week. Tonight I let my buddy play it and he messed around with roughly half the cast. Everybody he tried seemed useful except for Spiderman. i'm not sure what his role is? All the other melee characters seem way better. Punisher and Wolverine were fun to watch. He sucked at the game so it's difficult to say but Wolverine looked like the most fun. I'll be able to answer this weekend when I can spend alot of time with it.

PC RPG Website of the Year, 2015 Codex 2016 - The Age of Grimoire Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
I'm quite enjoying this slop right now actually. I don't think I'll be playing this in a month, but it's alright for flavor of the month.

I only play Loki right now.
His kit works like this:
Loki fires a projectile that either heals allies or does damage to enemies. It's not very strong by itself.
Loki can spawn up to two stationary Loki clones anywhere within line of sight that turns to fire projectiles at whatever you're aiming at alongside you. This effectively triples your damage or healing output.
Loki clones can be teleported to
Loki can turn invisible, leaving behind a clone
Loki can summon a glyph that spawns on all Loki clones that does extremely high burst healing and damage-to-heal conversion, making allies basically invulnerable for about 5 seconds.
Loki's ultimate ability makes him transform into the target hero and use all their abilities including ultimate
Also he can backstab with melee but it sucks and nobody uses it

This character is quite fun to play despite being a healer because of how difficult it is to die, and how amusing it is to watch an enemy waste abilities on a expendable clone that can be respawned immediately. I find burst healing and temporary invulnerability more interesting and impactful to the game than having a healing aura.

Wrong. Disney superhero shit is dying. People still love superheroes, they are just being done dirty by one of the worst companies in Earth's history. The success of this game proves people still care about Marvel characters.

This is not purely a Disney issue, lets be honest Marvel comic books in general have sucked for a long time maybe since the late 90s. The format is unsustainable and the MCU is only suffering becasue they are starting to adapt the shittier stuff especially all the stuff around Kang.

Marvel in the 00s had a wealth of books that were far, far superior to pretty much anything they put out in the 80s or 90s aside from Claremont's X books (which definitely got worse as the 80s went on), some limited series, and Daredevil. Ultimate Spider-man is the most obvious example, with many fans considering it to be as character defining as the Silver Age Lee/Ditko/Romita run, but there's plenty of other great stuff. Abnett/Lanning's cosmic saga, Busiek/Nicieza's Thunderbolts, Busiek's Avengers, Brubaker's Captain America, etc. Sure there was plenty of shit like Civil War being put out, but that doesn't mean there was a shortage of great comics coming out of Marvel in the 00s. Anyone saying otherwise is either arguing bad faith or talking out of their ass.

You forgot early ultimate spider man, Punisher MAX by Ennis, or it’s later but a personal modern favorite of mine is the irredeemable Antman

Nope, USM was the first thing I mentioned.

I don't enjoy Punisher MAX. It's fine. It's absolutely what it wants to be, and I'm not the sort of person who approves of complaining that you disliked something when it was correctly labeled, but Punisher MAX is just not for me at all.

I read Irredeemable Ant-Man 20 years ago. I remember thinking it was okay, but not much more than that. Maybe I'll give it another read through.

It’s late sorry, I’m also partial to ultimate X men but everything else in ultimate not so much, Punisher MAX is fine to me Ennis understands punisher to me, and the I really like irredeemable antmans suit, eric truly is an asshole though but I love him for it.
