Im downloading this game now... whats the best guy to start with?

I like hawkeye, he's slow to start though. Thing is also very good. You really can't go wrong w/ any of the starters

Theres
daredevil - I think hes the worst of the bunch, I don't hear or see much good about this guy
storm - top AOE dps (even outside of the free chars)
Thing - tank
hawkeye - very good single target dps
scarlet witch - another high aoe dps, people say storm is better in that aspect though, she has this vortex move to pull everything into a group and then nuke the whole pack down

Just my opinions

I recently started also. Trying out Daredevil... He's pretty fun to play but I don't hear great things about him end game.

hawkeye can actually be rather effective aoe with a combination of shrieking arrow + poison cloud + spam 3x and 2x arrow. You'll also get 1 or 2 other starters from completing the story

alot of ppl assume hawkeye is just a good single target char but they r wrong. poison arrow fuckin owns along with twin and triple arrow basic attacks on ur left and right click.

jean, scarlet witch, and cyclops are also amazing at aoe

anyone know if Thing is any good?

Just a heads up, most top end Thing players are expecting some kind of nerf to him in the near future. Hes simply the best tank in the game with amazing party utility, decent damage and can solo red terminal bosses better than anyone not named rocket raccoon.

people always said colossus was the best
but idk i havent played either yet
