Underrated character variants
I just wondering what people think of some of the lesser used variants of the characters, and if anyone actually likes some of them. I for one, actually like playing as the hockey star quite a lot. ...

I've recently been playing a couple of the variants you mentioned, one basically new to me (hockey star) and one I haven't played for a while (necrose). I do find hockey star to be difficult with the overheat, but by the time I've put a couple hours into a particular all star, I usually get the hang of what they can do, and the upgrades won't hurt either. I haven't got him down well enough yet to try playing him in multiplayer.
I played necrose a fair amount when she was new, and had mixed results. I started playing her again yesterday and found that, for me, her efficacy depended on the way the rest of the team was playing. I was playing with a max rank friend who does the meta electro citron thing. He'd follow me to get every teleporter up, then I would find a good vantage point for jinxing or we acted as a team from the same mid range perch. This worked extremely well. I got something like 14 vanguishes, which is a lot for me with this character. I got the last few levels to master her, so I'm not sure how much I'll break her out again for a while.
Another underrated variant for me is pops Corn. I love his range, he has great damage and ammo, yet no one else seems to like him. He was either my 3rd or 4th character mastered. I rarely see him in my matches.
I also rarely see a painter (In my top 5 fav characters) but I feel that he more underused than underrated.

Yes, pops corn is another that I'll be digging into sometime in the near future. The only corns I particularly enjoyed playing in the past are default and commando. But since I had a corn star quest on, I gave pops a quick spin and found him much better than I originally thought. I still can't find much love in myself for barbecue or mob cob, though. As overpowered as BBQ is said to be, I don't do much good with him.
