r/TheThing_Mains

I was an Adam Warlock main, and also consistently play Daredevil and Mister Fantastic. the reason I don't follow a single theme or playstyle with choosing my mains is because I like the characters I am playing regardless of how they play in the game. for example being a huge DD fan in general.

However, once I took a deep dive into their current performance in the game, two out of these characters are extremely lackluster, while the other is a Dive which I do not enjoy. also they botched Daredevil's damage numbers and he's doing nothing but spam his throw ability which is super lame.

Despite Thing's very simple kit, he turned out to be one of the most enjoyable and dopamine inducing Tanks I've played, even more so than Captain America for me.

here's all the reason that made me decide to start my journey to become Champion Thing:

1. Boxing fighting style: no other character in the game Boxes like thing, and as a martial arts enthusiast myself, Boxing became my all time favorite martial art, it has rich classical, oldschool culture and isn't as toxic as say BJJ or Wing chun, which reflects Thing's personality pretty well
2. Amazing Brawler: Brawl melee dps is my favorite playstyle in the game, that's what I was trying to do with Reed but lacked the damage and DD but lacked the survivability.
3. Anti Dive: Thing is the pretty much the Tank version of Mister Fantastic but with more presence and influence in the fight, his Anti Dive playstyle bleeds very well with his Brawling, and I do love protecting my supports and squishies as much as possible.
4. Fills Tank: when I used to play support or DPS I always felt bad for the Solo tankers out there, and wanted to fill for them, I love filling the Tank role, and Thing Pairs very well with almost every Tank in the game.
5. Utility and Damage in one package!: Thing has damage reduction, damage amplification, percentage damage, and grounded effects, he has a lot of utility for a 1 Star Tank, sure he might not be able to 1v1 every hero like Thor, but he does bring value to the team.
6. Fast and cheap ult: I love having cheap ult that charges super Fast like Thing's, which makes for an active playstyle.
7. Lowkey team up with Hulk is the only team up in the game I actually care enough about.: I never bothered with team ups in this game, I just forget to use them, but the Hulk team up makes Thing do so much damage and have much better survivability, it's a crime not to use it!
8. Wholesome Character: in Lore he does indeed have a heart of Gold, a true Punkrocker!
9. Mobility + Unstoppable effect: I don't know about you I hate being swallowed by Jeff because the hitbox is unfair sometimes, so I always love any character with this effect in their kit because I can ignore stuns completely. also mobility in this game makes life so much better.
10. Potential Buffs: He's decent right now, but he does have potential for buffs, for example I'd really like it if his Jumps didn't share a cooldown, between ally jumps and enemy jumps, that would make his commits so much smoother and easier to land.
