Anyone who says Daredevil is bad is a baffoon. He's not top tier but the unique buffs will keep him relevant and by all means good.
Daredevil's not bad. He was terrible until he got his level 52 review, maybe you're reading old posts that talk about how bad he is?
His items certainly aren't great (like a few other heroes) so that's why they're getting a once over but he's still pretty good.
If there is a sale for his stuff like the recent Cable one you can be sure that the new costume won't fall under that sale. If you want it for cheap you're going to have to wait until it's been out for a bit and there is a costume sale (or buy one get one free).
Mostly just chatter from the Social chat in game. Not something to take as facts, but as a new player I've seen a bunch of people say he's not that great so I'm just going off that.
Regarding the Daredevil show, I have it from a very reliable source (i.e. me) that it is the single best super hero show to ever grace the television medium. I've only seen the first two episodes, but they are sublime. The show is dark...very dark. This is more in the same vein as the Dark Knight as it KOis to current Marvel and DC television offerings. This definitely feels ripped from the pages of Frank Miller's character instead of the current Waid take, so take that as you will. Very minor spoiler that sets the tone of the series:I was geniunely shocked when he takes down a thug at the very beginning and just keeps beating him...over and over again. Holy crap, it's intense!
When you consider the amount of hype surrounding the mediocre DC shows on the CW, this deserves to be huge. You're getting a better story, superior acting, and an HBO-level budget instead of the CW shoestring special effects.
I'm biased. I'm crazy biased. I'm a Daredevil fanboy. He's right up there with Frank Castle as my favorite Marvel character, so you have to factor that into my opinion. But the first two episodes deliver like crazy. They are better than any of the Marvel movies we've seen so far, no question.
I don't believe you.
You don't even play DD in MH. At least you play Punisher
looks good!
He was my second or third level 60, I can't remember. You have to remember that he was really awful in the game back at launch. As in terrible.
I actually like him now. He's close to being my second prestige 60, but I haven't been playing much lately.

He was better before.
As in when the game first released? LOLno.
Wasn't Daredevil one of the first level 52 reviews, if not the first? My recollection is that it was the Daredevil review that taught us that Gaz had the ability to successfully remake characters who didn't come out so well the first time.
Dude, you had to actively spam his ping skill all the time to get any sort of damage. It was ridiculous.

he's the most cookie-cutter motherfucker in terms of "best ttk" gameplay. That's why he's bad. If I wanted to look at numbers I'd play a calculator.
I'm with Cutmeamango, DD's rework was cobbled together nonsense.
I don't even know what you mean by this.
TEST CENTER PATCH NOTES
Work in progress patch notes. Several items will likely be added as they make the build.
GENOSHA HUB - HAMMER BAY
Hammer Bay has received an update. The Cosmic Architects have forced the NPCs to reshuffle themselves so the Heroes don't have to stand so close to each other. No one wants to get too close to Venom.
The maximum population for Hammer Bay has been reduced to prevent overcrowding. The Genosha Liberation Force was pleased to see so many willing volunteers to throw at Onslaught's onslaught but honestly you guys were really over-crowding them.
The Enchanter decided to see why everyone in Asgard was clamoring about Hammer Bay. He brought along an extra S.T.A.S.H. vault.
COMMENDATIONS
The amount of Hero and Protector Commendations gained from the Man-Ape One Shot and the Daily Shared Quests has been increased.
We'll be adding additional methods to gain Hero and Protector Commendations outside of raids in the coming days.
INFLUENCE FOR GENOSHA LIBERATION FORCE
All players who logged in during the previous week have had their G.L.F. influence set to 200. This will not affect the weekly cap, although the initial login will display 200/200.
Influence will no longer increment when relogging.
Known Issue: Influence gains will sometimes not be displayed until a hero changes regions.
Known Issue: You must gain some amount of Influence for the display to reflect your weekly amount correctly.

SHE-HULK
We have two small updates for She-Hulk this week. Well be putting up a fresh feedback section for She-Hulk once the patch is live for 48 hours.
She-Hulk's Opening Statement now has CC immunity during the movement portion of the power
She-Hulk's Closing Argument should no longer fail to fire sometimes if rapidly spammed.
POWERS FLAVOR / NAME CHANGES
Several powers have new names to prevent confusion with other heroes or be more flavorfully superior. This will also help prevent confusion with StarkTech Power Cubes as we work on longer-term ideas.
Venom's Web Barrage is now called Web Cannon, to prevent confusion with Spider-Mans Web Barrage power.
Silver Surfer's Supernova is now called Singularity.
Nova's Supernova will be renamed (currently placeholder name)
Taskmaster's Nerve Gas Arrow is now called Toxic Gas Arrow
BUG FIXES AND MINOR CHANGES
Thanks for everyone who participated in the bug reporting from last week, and in general. We have a decent chunk of bug fixes in this week's build:
Fixed a visual bug that would sometimes cause a hero to appear tilted, like they were drinking Scotch on a late-night stream.
X-Defense waves will have a further cooldown time before repeating themselves, adding more variety.
We fixed many small UI, visual or power issues related to the AXIS raid.
Fixed various targeting issues in the AXIS raid, particularly the Onslaught encounter.
Black Panther's Panther Soul now correctly gives All defense rating instead of just Physical.
Batroc will no longer claim he provides the wrong Rogue stolen power in his stolen power preview UI.
In the Axis Raid, the Enrage timer for the Psionic Barrier will no longer start before triggering the encounter (interacting with Agent Varden).
Fixed a display bug with Crafting Recipe costs.
Silver Surfer's Board Dash once again has its intended Power Cosmic cost of 50.
Black Widow's Backflip Bomb now always move Natasha backwards.
Rogue's Aerial Onslaught can now be activated again much more quickly after being deactivated.
Moon Knight's Truncheon Ricochet rebuilt to correctly apply consumable melee damage buffs on each and every bounce (third try's the charm, blargh).
StarkTech can now replace StarkTech already placed on an item.
All artifacts will now have their correct StarkTech Power Cube slots.
StarkTech Power Cubes can now be stored in Hero Stash Tabs.
StarkTech Power Cubes now have an off-screen indicator.
Ms. Marvel's Evasive Blast returned to 100% evade.
I agree with whichever side makes the other side more annoyed.

I almost believed you until you said this.
You may not like it, but cobbled together? His review was one of the first that felt complete and thought out. Before him we got half-assed reviews like Cap, HE, and Emma.
Next event: A special event, in honor of Daredevil's new show. Odin's Bounty and Cosmic Chaos event. There will be a boost specifically for Daredevil.
What they havent done is make great television.
The failings of Netflixs Daredevil may just be inherent to some kinds of made-for-streaming series. Like Amazons disappointing Bosch, Daredevil isnt structured or paced like episodic TV (though its broken up into fairly uniform 50-minute installments, for no real reason beyond convention). This show is made to be binged, which means it doesnt seem obliged to conform to the usual dramatic arcs that TV writers use to pull viewers through commercial breaks, and to keep them tuning in from week to week. Through the first five episodes at least, the various plots and subplotsmost of them involving gang wars and shady business dealings that inflict collateral damage on the residents of Hells Kitchenarent compelling or original enough to earn an active Yes, Id like to see more of this. Instead, what Daredevil has are one or two moments per episode that may be exciting or promising enough to keep Neflix subscribers from hitting the stop button before the next episode auto-plays.
also theres a bug on tc where when moving with winter soldier his gun is upside down
Spoiler: he can shift his density between phasing and ultra-heavy, which changes how many of his powers look and function. It's very, very cool.
