@Joeyd7878 Well at least the OP is getting some good insight from our combined experiences. I can see how your strategy works in the long term - it's actually what I'm doing. I think I just assumed that the OP was after a quicker resolution
And now... Rey. I will begin with your own words: 'She's viable in all facets of the game'.
You are absolutely right... and I hate her for it. She's like the full-auto, explosive, heat-seeking, x-ray rail gun that everyone would run for in an old-school FPS: No downsides. There is no strategy required for her other than making her go faster. You can put her in any team and she'll deliver. She is undoubtedly head and shoulders above every other toon as a standalone character.
That's too easy. To be honest, if I used her, I'd feel like I was cheating. It's not just easy, it's lazy game design. IG86 hits like a freight train but he's a bit fragile and slow. Other toons can do better than her in other areas but in the lists of best toons, she's in the top 5 for everythimg but synergy. That's not balanced. Who thought it was a good idea to give one of the hardest hitting toons in the game Foresight (i.e. the ultimate defence)? This is the tipping point for me. If you're going to make a heavy hitter, give them a vulnerability... and applying a debuff is hardly a worthy weakness. Would IG86 still be balanced if you gave him Foresight?
Sorry for the rant but I have avoided airing this opinion because the huge amount of (learned, capable and mature) players who say she's overpowered tend to get shouted down and tarred as whiners. She never really poses a massive threat to me as I have plenty of tools in my droids to get rid of her early but I know imbalance when I see it.
When so many people say she's imbalanced, it has to mean something. Those are, after all, genuine first hand experiences.
