In the modern game of HeroClix, there are no terrible dials anymore, really. Not the way there used to be.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t a few stinkers made. For the next few days, Heroclixin will look at the bottom of the barrel and make its picks for the least playable figs of 2014. Let’s start with one that came out so late in 2013 that no one learned how horribad it was until 2014.
Faceless Void [DOTA 2 Starter Set 103]
Would you spend 125 points for
- a non-Indomitable 6-click dial
- with just 2 damage Charge to start with
- and just 1 damage on the subsequent Flurry clicks
- despite an Incap-like trait that only works 1/6 of the time
- with only Super Senses for a defense
- (except for one random click in the middle with NO defense power)?
The answer is “NO.” If his once-per-game Epic Action actually dealt pushing damage when it piles two tokens on all enemies within 4 squares, maybe he’d be worth running regardless of his many deficiencies. But it doesn’t, so all he does is buy maybe an extra turn to not be KO’d by the enemy.
No wonder he wanna hide his face
Most of the actual worst of 2014 really aren’t nearly this terrible, and each can find a place on a team. But they make the list for a reason. Get your anti-nausea meds, ’cause it’s gonna churn your stomach.
