Marvel Avengers: What caused the massive player drop (and what did not)

NOT THE CAUSE – Weak Characters

I heard a lot of people talk about the characters having strength issues and, for the most part, this felt true early into my post-game playing. I died a LOT, especially since I always play solo.

But the more I played the more noticeable my character’s growing strength is. In fact, the more I played the more I noticed that each of the six resembled different RPG tropes, which I talked about here. When I realized this I was dying a lot less.

Plus, as my characters leveled they gained new abilities and now when I play as one of my higher-level characters, I feel like a hero. Enemies get taken out in a few hits before I hop over and beat up something else. Some of my attacks now hit a ton of enemies at once. Sometimes I send enemies flying into the distance. It feels good.

Because of this, I have a hard time believing this being a reason as it’s one of the few games where I really feel the growth in my characters. In fact that was the carrot that kept me playing as long as I did.
