Is War Machine good?
War Machine works best alongside teammates and brings solid Power Control on top of that, including Suppression Debuffs on his Special 1 that Collar Tech pushes even further. He's got a decent number of Debuffs in his kit overall, which makes Despair worth grabbing for healing matchups even though it's not baked into his base kit.
Opponents who shrug off his Debuffs and Physical Resistance both work against him, which keeps him at C.
