Update: Emma has proven to hard counter QS and Psylocke teams, this made Sandman pass them in the top 20 - last hours of pvp - to tired to upload a new top 20 image (full list is updated).
Full Tier List Season 16
So this season at least stuff happened.
Some of the new characters who are really strong jumped up and are really dangerous foes in pvp.
Obviously Taskmaster who I have been trying to sell as one of the top character is ranked at spot 3 split with him and War.
He really has no weakness, except not getting the right class but still no real weakness, he don't help any enemeis etc. He can turn of any class he faces and he got some luck based attacks that can kill a character right away.
Sandman should probably be even higher, hes really strong. Like it said his article for him its a lot about simplistic, just high attack into 1 guy. Simple easy, works good always.
Some character who have fallen out from top 20 is e.g Ares. Which is not so weird as none of the new characters are weak towards him. While class bonus is not everything it has not been a new scraper since Sabretooth (16 characters back...) if we ignore the warrior 3 as they are duel classes. Just overall not better for any Bruiser.
Magneto is now rank 2, and hes the real rank 1. I been over this before but why Emma is so extremely high 1 is mainly because she truly rapes so many of the weaker characters with a 100% win ratio no mater what.
While Magneto is actually better versus many of the strongest characters as in how he prevents them from critical, great shield and give more turns and with ionizing he also does chip dot damage and improved overall energy attack damage. (He also hard counters Emma, that always helps) He has both a great offense and defense, well of Emma has that as well just not as high as him. Shes more offense.
With the new uncanny x-force suit, it did not help Fantomex enough (out of A tier) but Psylocke is now one of the strongest characters.
With her is not about the mental coordination which I would guess most people think its about, yes that also has increased her value overall but some teams and especially the agent can stop that right away. So if looking at just her coordination thing its still pretty much stuck with Quicksilver to be a super good thing.
No its about the classic overexposed tactician. A Tactician with stealth/mental cant get countered by Infiltrators and is super strong versus Blasters as she can just kill them by attacking them twice so easily just like classic Gray widow etc. So before in the season 15 and back tier she was good vs Tacticians and decent vs the rest some weakness to scrappers and so on. Now shes super good vs all Blasters and not actually weak vs most of the games infiltrators leaving her at a much higher overall score.
And then we have come to the characters who were in the bottom and now are boosted. Luke Cage, She-hulk and Deadpool.
While She-hulk is a lot better now she is still not super amazing, do I will say that in bot her and Powerman's case there is not much data as barely anyone plays them anyway so....
In both their cases its like taking a character who got 0/10 in power boost it by 3(Cage) or 5(She-hulk) that wont make them reach the 10/10 characters like Emma. Luke Cage is getting a new suit so he will get better but its still the same thing lifting someone who was in the absolute bottom they need to be lift a lot. (He probably goes from 3 + 2 to 5 which will make him much better then before but not near the best characters)
Deadpool got buffed with his new suit and overall in many of the chapters with new a-isos and e-iso etc.
His latest thing is the all move got boon buster dealing higher damage to buffed targets and then he know gives them buffs with his iso.....
First of all Deadpool was in the same boat as Luke Cage and She-hulk just a little higher so clearly hes not an ace character with some minor buffs.
And the whole Buff the finest hour guy is dangerous to say the least. The rank now take in consideration Deadpool abusing self build up buffers like Hercules, Wonderman etc. But its really a very risky strategy which wont work if the opponent has to high stats. Then you just buff them and they kill you right away.
My personal experience for the most part is the Deadpool boast my Sandman and he instantly kills their team
Using Deadpool this way is truly like fighting fire with fire. Which is really a bad saying as won't an fire user usually have high defense vs fire. So that would leave them both taking low damage when in this case we mean to say that they both take very high damage, so for example fighting Dragon with Dragon would be am such better saying, just saying.
Deadpool then is very risky as it stops being Dragon Vs Dragon and more like Dragon VS Ice or something when they got way higher stats. If the opponent got huge stats its gonna be over when he buffs them
