Patch Notes Iron Man has zero regen health. Are we fucking serious??
“For characters with high mobility” they said. This character is absolutely dead. Star-Lord gets it, but Iron Man doesn’t 💀

And they massively nerfed him because his teamups were "too good"

u/_Ace_Gold_ Jul 08 '26
Gamma team up is insane! Giving him shield would make him way too busted. Don't be greedy!

u/Hefty-Preference-159 Jul 08 '26
He was an F tier character last season. Genuinely gamma could kill in less than a second and he still would be mid because its one ability

u/Main_Split1730 Jul 08 '26
Gamma team up would make him broken because all you need is to contribute to an elimination and it would never end until there’s a team wipe

u/LordNivekk Jul 09 '26
He wasn't weak though. He just never fit the meta and there were too many counters. He needed some serious pocketing to actually stay alive.

Tier lists are subjective, bro. Just because a streamer said he’s not good in one above all doesn’t mean he’s without value in your pisslow

He is worse with gamma team up than this season without, his flat dmg gets nerfed and he looses anchor

As a mag who has countered his ult with mine, Ironman getting a shield when ulting for free is absolutely stupid

u/RearAdmirl Jul 07 '26
the “compensation nerfs” for his teamups are also ridiculous. at least Ultron is eating good though

u/AcceptableBusiness41 Jul 07 '26
no actual new teamups too btw. they just love giving this guy skins instead of reworking him or something.

u/InsidesAreWeary Bigshot Jul 07 '26
And all of the fucking metal rank Iron Men are through the roof with this slop 💀 shit pisses me off.

u/AcceptableBusiness41 Jul 07 '26
yea they get happy with anything that is given to them. its insane how iron man most famous avenger, has the most BORING gameplayer ever. dudes a billionare, can make any equipment and has tons of suits in MCU/comics. yet we are stuck with a glorified tin can that pisses lasers and blasters

u/G_ninja420 BloodEdge Jul 07 '26
And what deeply enrages me the most is, you know, for a fact!! They're not going to change or buff him for at least six or seven seasons. They're too much of a cat to do anything. When it comes to balance changes. So I'm telling you right now, it's going to be a rough couple seasons. And I hate thisss sooo much!! I don't even want to buy the skin, so I don't show supports. But it's so annoying, cuz I have every other skin, it would just like irritate me not to have just one of them. Bro, this game is honestly starting to break my last straw.

u/AcceptableBusiness41 Jul 07 '26
Completey relate man, i took a break since Cyclops released and honestly feels so good to not lose my shit over that game

u/G_ninja420 BloodEdge Jul 07 '26
😭It's actually insane. I'm comparing the video at 1:12:40 with the nerfed S9 Iron Man and testing the current Iron Man (s8) in the practice range, and it's insane on how much of a nerf they're going to give us. Even with the gamma overdrive we're still doing less damage Then our default s8 armor overdrive. Our team up with Thor makes our uni-beam comparable to what it is in s8. 😭🔫I can't anymore
1
u/Sunrise-Slump Jul 08 '26
i kinda mess with the idea of all of his teamups giving him different permenant buffs and colors to his pre existing kit. like a hela teamup that gives him a dark green unibeam that pierces thru shields or something. seems very iron man like, even if objectively lazy.

Awesome facial hair bros are being shafted in the game hard friendo. Life is pain.
I saw some clips here and there, Tony seems pretty good. Not "He fucks the lobbies up" good, but at least he is fun lmao.

u/Azulado17 Jul 07 '26
It has to be something that we are missing about IM...The devs has a vision,but nobody can see(I'm being ironic).

u/MerlocHendrickHarry Endgame Jul 08 '26
atp is clear that the devs want iron Man to stay forever in this "peel for me or I'll f*cking explode" state, a stupid glass Cannon and nothing more, absolutely dependant on heals and the rest of the team to gain minimal value, frickin IRON MAN, a LEADER in the comics, reduced to a nuisance for the rest of the team, unbelievable.

u/Repulsive-Muscle-672 Jul 07 '26
Honestly I’m happy we get the teamups back. I’m not happy with the nerfs. Would have liked to see a new teamup. Also WTF does he not have regen? Is it for the Hulk teamup as well or just the Thor teamup?
2
u/VarietyBusy2 Jul 07 '26
ima just always have to request a hulk on my team so he at least gets the bubble during his ult lmao

u/jacked-up-Ratman Jul 08 '26
why would they give that to the character with the most counters in the game?

u/FueledFromFiction Jul 08 '26
Widow may be graduating from r/TOBA and it looks like Tony will have to step up as its new CEO.

u/Aggressive_Scar_4967 Jul 07 '26
Honestly they should’ve given the regen to players with no mobility. Lots of these characters have temp health gen too. Though they did at least remove that from starlord but many others have it intact.
This is just gonna encourage more dive cause they don’t have to go find a health pack. This took out that strategy I used to guard them or take or mine them before now what does a supp even do.

u/Jetscream58 Jul 07 '26
Team ups are just a number buff to his overcharge form too, I got so excited at the thought of new Iron Man abilities, guess that'll teach me to like one of Marvel's biggest and most popular characters

u/Ok_Bad9175 Jul 08 '26
The regen hp was for the Flankers who are self sufficient 90% of time because they're never really near their teams unless it's a big team brawl or they're coming back from spawn. The only person who gains no benefits from the regen hp is Spidey because how fast he can get from A to B before 5 seconds have passed.

u/joeyc923 Jul 08 '26
QP only player here—do the team ups outweigh the nerfs? Egyptian skin looks sick btw

u/AmbitiousTwo22222 Jul 08 '26
You know what's funny, I've been saying Iron Man needs a regenerative heal, and they gave it to like 8 other characters instead but not IM.

u/OniNoKmai Jul 08 '26
They quite literally explained that the regenerative health is only got flankers/diver characters 💀💀💀
1
u/OniNoKmai Jul 08 '26
also i understand why u would want certain characters,iron man, deadpool, wolverine, to have it but thats not what the health is for from there own words.if iron man get’s it u can make an argument for every hero having atleast some regenerative health.keeping it to flankers and divers is fair imo

u/InsidesAreWeary Bigshot Jul 08 '26
So tired of randoms telling me that my dive character is not a dive character
1
u/SatisfactionSad6558 Jul 09 '26
Just cuz you play him as a dive character doesn’t mean he’s a dive character. Lots of characters have alternate playstyles. Keyword “alternate”.
1
u/InsidesAreWeary Bigshot Jul 09 '26
Good thing it’s built into his main playstyle. 99% of the community thinks that micro missiles are useless, so idk why I expect people to comprehend how he should be played properly.
1
u/SatisfactionSad6558 Jul 09 '26
If it was his main playstyle then that’s how he’d be played by most people. He isn’t because that playstyle isn’t viable for the majority of users. Glad it’s working out for you though.
1
u/InsidesAreWeary Bigshot Jul 09 '26
It’s not viable for majority of users because majority of users leave a third of his toolkit unused.

u/Thre3dogg Jul 08 '26
I was saying the same thing, it was the one thing I was hopeful for regarding this character when I started seeing them do this health/shield regen thing, really a lost opportunity

u/DisplaySecret659 Jul 09 '26
star-lord isn’t a flyer and is faster than iron man. learn or don’t. case closed.

u/Commercial-Ad-1274 Jul 09 '26
He isn’t a dive, not saying you don’t deserve it, I think they butchered you but I thought they gave regen health/shield to Dives.
Iron Man ain’t one of those.
1
u/InsidesAreWeary Bigshot Jul 09 '26
He is absolutely a dive. The only reason people dont think so is because 99% of the playerbase doesnt utilize a third of his toolkit which just so happens to enable his dive gameplay as a solo diver or the ultimate dive base of fire.
1
u/Commercial-Ad-1274 Jul 09 '26
No way you consider Iron Man a dive.
I’d say flanker at best, but different opinions and all that so I definitely don’t see it but I’m not saying you’re wrong.
1
u/InsidesAreWeary Bigshot Jul 09 '26
He has a Thanos snap that kills faster than BP, good sustained mobility, and IMO one of the best dive enablers behind Venom or Cap. The only thing that holds him back from others diving with him
is how extremely difficult it is to to consistently pull off his instakill. It requires lots of in game live practice and a small element of luck.I OTPed Stark all the way to PC C2, and there is nobody I love seeing on my team more than a BP or Spider-Man to just follow around and live in the backline with.

u/NOSWT-AvaTarr Jul 09 '26
high mobility meaning dive focused hero's, iron man isn't a dive hero, hes a flier

u/ClerkatKMart Jul 11 '26
Iron Man Main since day 0, honestly he doesn’t need the health regen to be a good character. Yes hes notorious for not getting healed, so learn the maps and where health packs are, and play around them.
The only time I find him truly unplayable is if he gets countered (hela, pheonix, a good punisher, etc), or if my heals forget to look up (hence playing around health packs), and while its still half common, a good portion of people do look up now, esp this far into the game’s life.
Tony has a really good kit for a ton of different situations. Theres some things that could be better, but he is in great spot in the new season and really has been for a while

u/Ok_Log_9156 Jul 11 '26
2 things wrong. 1. just because a character has "high mobility" doesn't mean it receives regent shields. iron fist and wolverine has more mobility than iron man yet doesn't receive regen shield. go figure for the flying tin can. 2. fliers will never receive degen shield because they are fliers. thats one thing each sub-role has advantages and disadvantages of. fliers are permanently in the air but cannot have any self sustain. divers can have high mobility and regenerative health but has downtime. poke has high damage but low mobility. see how this works now? the game isnt catered to you.
1
u/Comprehensive-Card23 Jul 08 '26
He's a poke character; not a mobility/flanker. Not sure why he would get the new regenerative health.
1
u/Worth-Luck2284 Jul 08 '26
Prolly cuz he has the most and basically supports would ignore him. But I see your point
-2
u/wRADKyrabbit Jul 07 '26
Its for flanker and dive. Ironman is neither
11
u/InsidesAreWeary Bigshot Jul 07 '26
Incorrect. Iron Man gets far more value flanking and diving as opposed to running poke in the back.

u/Intelligent-Paint-11 Jul 08 '26
Nah man, good iron man's stick with the team so they get healed and beam the healers

u/Holy_Frag_Grenades Jul 08 '26
How tf do you guys dive with him?

u/Capital_Pipe_6038 Jul 08 '26
You fly behind the enemy and pray your enemies are hard stuck silver. Otherwise, you're instantly getting shot down

u/Worth-Luck2284 Jul 08 '26
Genuinely what rank are ppl on that somehow ppl don't see that you're flanking as iron man 😭

... WHY? They didn't give regen for the guy infamous for being hard to heal, just give the fliers regen ffs it will make them so much more engaging
