Nothing you can do aganist this guy

I’ve been a Dr.Strange main since launch. I play this game every day, I’m Champion, and I’ve never understood the decision to add anti-heal to his dark energy mechanic, especially now.

Strange has been power-crept for a while. He always suffers in brawl metas. When Emma released, he was a portal boy, and now he’s struggling against Dino too.

So why am I still being forced to dump dark energy? Why do I get punished with the worst debuff in the game because I used my primary fire too much? Why am I forced into an 8-second cooldown cycle just to avoid anti-heal?

People say the skill expression comes from managing your dark energy and timing your E perfectly, but couldn’t that still exist without the anti-heal punishment? Honestly, I think there’d be MORE skill expression if Strange could hold dark energy longer and decide the perfect moment to use it, even if the damage was toned down The character’s already been power-crept to oblivion. The anti-heal mechanic just makes him feel worse for no reason.

TLDR: Dr. Strange has been power-crept hard. Remove the anti-heal.

I got back into the game because I rewatched his movies and decided I wanted to level him up as much as possible. Wasn’t here for season 7 unfortunately which seems to be the only cosmetic I was drawn to. Based on what I’ve read that’s not coming back till like a year minimum.

Kinda sick of oversized boring robes and stuff that’s just meant to be comedic and ugly. I want more skins akin to s7 Loki and stuff like that and I’m really upset he’s not got a lot. Everyone else gets fun non-canon outfits and he’s left with nothing. Dr strange neglect is absolutely wild and I need him to get more love very soon.

Tourist here. I flex to strange as my favourite tank pick but I’m being crapped on by Dino right now, especially if we aren’t mirroring Dino.

What I like about strange is how aggressive he is. I can slip past the tanks and into the backline, shoot, melee, shoot, block their heals to the tanks and explode on them (pun intended) to finish them off. Then dipping back behind cover to get healed. That’s my core neutral play loop for now.

Dino has kinda destroyed that game play for me. I’m having trouble with him up in my face, and the visual clutter right now is an issue for me. It’ll come with time after fighting more Dinos but yea, I’m currently struggling with him.

Any better Dr Stranges willing to impart wisdom? 🙏🏻
