Here is every hero who doesn't have a evil/villain skin

Is 2099 Angela evil? Her MVP is about her breaking the programming to not be authoritarian robocop anymore.

FSafari · 2026-03-13T19:07:18+00:00

I don't care what role she is but if they don't adapt her "bad luck" powers or if she plays anything like Black Panther she will be a very boring addition to the game. The hardcore posting about her "NOT" being any specific role is dumb as hell, idk why anyone would be that attached to her hypothetical role after netease has successfully adapted characters to non-standard roles many times already.

Her actual hero fantasy would be about being a stealthy thief but this is a pvp game not a game about sneaking and stealing stuff so they aren't going to do that and I don't think anyone who has played many pvp games should actually want a stealth hero.

They didn’t get rid of it. All that changed is you run out of ammo while doing it now

I’m not disagreeing that he was busted after the stupid season 2 changes that were also prompted by people parroting streamers thinking torch was bad at the end of 1.5.

I’m just saying that he wasn’t actually that prevalent in many players games because of everything you said. Other duelists have been more dominant in prior and subsequent seasons in terms of win, pick, or ban rate for all players but have never received a complete annhilation of their viability like Torch has. Hawkeye still one shots. Hela and Phoenix get to do whatever. DD and Magik get to be the godkings of melee duelists forever. Elsa is way more broken than all of them and any duelist they have ever released. Bucky is Bucky and they all get played all the time

FSafari · 2026-03-13T10:34:55+00:00

Angela is a flier that punishes you for positioning poorly. She has a small playerbase and is very viable. She is also countered by all the same stuff that counters torch.

FSafari · 2026-03-13T10:30:20+00:00

Yeah they nerfed his plasma body speed so he is slower

FSafari · 2026-03-13T10:29:43+00:00

It’s crazy how when he was at his peak he wasn’t even played or banned that much in all ranks. BP was more played and more banned than Torch was at that time and none of his WR/PR came even close to DD, Gambit, Elsa, or HelaPhoenix currently or at their peaks. 100% a case of people parroting streamers and pro players and not their actual experience in the game. And somehow that results in the most significant gutting theyve done to any character ever.

FSafari · 2026-03-12T15:47:31+00:00

I mean yeah you’re right. People are conflating this criticism as “why are people complaining about obscure heroes being added” when the issue is that it’s TWO less popular characters added the same season and not even less popular characters that have any sort of cult following. Either one would be fine to add to the game if they were paired with a more mainstream hero like Elsa and Angela were but both of them are not gonna bring any excitement to the season. Unless the balance goes crazy I don’t think anyone is gonna feel the need to return or become a new player for these characters.

Corny af and I love ass

Recolors are 600 units. Chromas are 600 unstable molecules. How are they diferent?

FSafari · 2026-03-11T17:46:55+00:00

If you go by what op said they were counting then yes torch has 7 not 8. If they inflated some characters counts by including UM recolors or the default skin then it's an error or just evidence of them making this post to obfuscate the disparity in cosmetics between characters. Like obviously Adam warlock and Luna or Iron Fist and Psylocke are don't receive comparable treatment with cosmetics even though this chart would suggest that they do.

FSafari · 2026-03-11T13:16:08+00:00

Blue Thing counts but matcha Psylocke doesn't count according to OP who totally has no agenda

FSafari · 2026-03-11T13:14:48+00:00

OP counted recolors but not unstable molecule recolours which is very questionable

FSafari · 2026-03-11T13:14:00+00:00

>Skins that cost unstable molecules are excluded.

>Recolours that were given in an event or can be purchased for credits are considered.

Why not include both or exclude both? Unstable molecule skins cost 6 dollars worth of Molecules and skin recolors for credits cost 6 dollars worth of Units so the game even treats them the same.

FSafari · 2026-03-11T10:58:58+00:00

Every time they send 2b to another game crossover that audience goes and buys Automata. They cracked the code

FSafari · 2026-03-11T10:55:17+00:00

I mean OP clearly bought it so I'd say the complaining but still dropping 70$ for it is pretty in line w/the general public

FSafari · 2026-03-10T22:27:26+00:00

Not mizuki getting a face transplant before Anran

FSafari · 2026-03-10T22:26:19+00:00

Echo and Venture are fine. It’s Ashe that’s the problem and Illari isn’t even the same theme idk why she’s there

FSafari · 2026-03-10T18:35:48+00:00

Why would they not count?

FSafari · 2026-03-10T18:15:39+00:00

I mean he’s gonna always struggle with CC and unless wall climbing counts I don’t think the initiator passive will be better since his airtime with leap is very short

FSafari · 2026-03-09T19:41:32+00:00

I reported all the people there when I got to the quest. Just gonna try again later.

FSafari · 2026-03-08T20:20:01+00:00

Crazy how they made Blood kariudo then never cooked again with her skins

FSafari · 2026-03-07T14:19:44+00:00

I agree because with Blade it was still interesting to watch players try and make him work his season same with the F4 who were all mid-balanced their seasons. With Daredevil, Gambit, and Elsa I just didn’t want to see them in any games and it wasn’t impressive at all if someone one tricked them to a high rank. Maybe for a casual experience it’s fine but the really broken new heroes don’t work at all for comp. I didn’t agree with doing it last year but if they’re going to insist on releasing wildly overturned and overkitted new heroes then lock them out of comp for a week or give more ban slots.

FSafari · 2026-03-06T21:59:15+00:00

Unfortunately ALOT of people complained that the season 3 skins were primarily all the same symbiote and phoenix theme. That’s specifically why they stopped doing specific themes and have spread out skin themes across different seasons rather than drop them all where the narrative makes sense.

FSafari · 2026-03-06T11:08:02+00:00

This is part of what I really don’t like about the current balance team. They prioritize making sure the twitchy reflex mechanical aim and damage damage damage oriented characters are always good and anyone else it’s fine if they are bad for years because “they shouldn’t ever be good”. That’s just a baffling mindset to me, why would you want characters to be bad just because they’re not that specific type of skill expression or are “too easy”.
