I have and don’t use Justice, Vivica, Kadilen, Leonidas, Azlar, and Sartana… so… I also have a Joon at final ascension that I level that isn’t on my defense team. I also swap in Boldtusk, Gormek, and sometimes even Scarlett situationally.So what’s your point?
Raiding is not the only aspect of this game. If you’re running against a Fire Titan, Thorne works really really well for multi color teams as he doesn’t take much maintenance or healing.
There are insanely good blues in the game right now, of course you’re not going to see Thorne in raids.
The devs have better metrics to look at that what you see in raiding. They are ONLY going to correct heroes that are actually broken, like Kadilen’s buff not staying up for 2 actual turns, Athena being OP, Hel being broken 4 times and is finally fixed.
There are SOOO many options to this game, just because one blue has a better fit in most teams doesn’t mean he’s broken. Right now my raid team is 3 reds and 2 blues, just for fun, and I’ll likely level Thorne now to run 3 blues at times as well. But right now, my focus is on getting Joon to 80.
Not to mention, Thorne’s special is 445% at level 8, that’s insanely high for splash damage. (compared to Tiburtus, Gormek, and Grimm at 295%, and even Richard is only 415% albeit he has a better attack stat (12% higher attack… oooo dramatic hand wiggle)
Thorne isn’t broken, he’s not useless, he just doesn’t fit as well with common team compositions, and with so many other blues running around, he’s not used often. To add a special would make him overpowered.
