User blog:Oneanimal/Best offensive character

Well, this is a very difficult topic to address, but shortly before the release of Raven/Teen Titans, I wanted to get everybody's opinions on the best offensive character in the game. For the purposes of this post, offensive means how well and efficiently a character can deal damage to the enemy team. Obviously, this can mean very different things to different people, but for the most part, offensive characters have a passive that revolves around/boosts their specials or damage output without increasing that of their teammates or health, though this does not necessarily have to be the case. In my personal opinion, I would have to say Deathstroke/Arkham Origins from a purely offensive standpoint. With the right gear and augments, he can do absolutely insane amounts of damage with just his S1, making him a good choice for any type of battle, and really only having two direct counters: RSGL and Raven (though she acts as a counter to nearly everybody). He also has quite good basic atatcks, with a two-hit CE and slightly-ranged heavy attacks due to his sword. His S2 also can do a lot of damage (though chances are you won't have saved up two power bars), and that's not even mentioning his huge damage scaling effect. Overall, AOD is an absolute beast of a card offensively, and arguably the best offensive character in the game. Honorable mentions are Luchador Bane, Metahuman Flash, Shazam (especially for his old role in the meta), and Ares. Again, any of those with proper gear choices can also do near unrivaled amounts of damage. Please also limit your choices to released characters and not upcoming ones. It should also be noted that I will later make posts about defensive and support characters, so hold onto your thoughts for those.
