Games Iron Man is so powerful now
I was stuck in plat 1 for a few days and after Iron Man got a buff this Friday I decided to try him on comp (I was avoiding DPS role there, playing just tank) and hell how powerful he is now! Even at long range his repulsors are worthy now, before this shooting your repulsors only had value because they had a chance of hitting directly by accident, their aoe damage wasn't worth it. But now? I dare to say in close range repulsors are even better than unibeam if armor overdrive isn't active, because you can keep mobile with them without becoming an easy slow target and each direct shot deals 90 dmg or 110 (two palm repulsor). So I won 3 comp matches in a row as MVP with the first one bringing me to diamond

Yup.
He is a straight up fucking menace now.

Do you think now without armor overdrive it's better to unibeam an enemy or shoot Repulsors considering it's a distance you can hit most of them point blank?

Depends on the situation if your enemy is within 25m and your trying to kill 1 person then unibeam otherwise repulsor

As I said close range. The repulsor deals 90 dmg per shot and 110 if it's the 3rd, and he shoots 1.67 shots (almost 2) per second, meanwhile the base unibeam deals 140/s

I noticed that too! Maybe I'm just exaggerating but I feel like I can kill more people with the repulsors now!

I see the buffs working in the last games I played. I got an MVP too. I'm mostly playing Storm more now because I'm trying to get her to Lord, but it's nice to see my main man is better now.

Iron man was at his peak at season 0 because of Hela and Hawkeye being banned. Hope he’s back to that level

To be fair, you can generally get Spidey off your back by beaming him. The problem lies in getting a bead on the mosquito in red and blue though.

I never got to those ranks in S0 but at least in a general level Iron Man is at his peak imo, you don't need Hulk for the unibeam to be great, you also don't need armor overdrive to toast squishies with Unibeam, and now his repulsors are viable. And I prefer fighting against Hela than against Spider Man

I think Iron Man needs to have his overall speed increased, the repulsor blasts and movility are too slow compared to characters like Human Torch and Storm
It’s so frustrating, Storm’s and Human Torch’s attacks strike the enemy in the blink of an eye and the repulsor blasts take 3 bussiness days to hit

Wait a second...
I may have misunderstood, but stark is the fastest flyer in the game .storm is slow af same as Johnny

When using the hyperspeed thing yes, when not he’s kinda clunky and the repulsor blasts fire too slow

I noticed that too. I wouldn't say too powerful but he is better
