After the 7.0 Patch, here are my new rankings:

1. Gwendolin: Even after the nerf, her abilities were not affected at all. The Cocktail can detect Camos, and the Firestorm is beastly against Ceramics. Once she reaches level 17, she becomes an absolute monster. Heat it up FTW.

2. Striker Jones: Used to be a huge meme, but now actually rivals Gwendolin. The reason he is the second best is that his level 10 ability is useless until he is max level. Because most CHIMPS strats revolve around Mortar and Recursive Cluster, he propelled himself from worst to almost best. He can reach max level faster than all other heroes too.

3. Obyn Greenfoot: In my opinion, Obyn is often overlooked, because he is criminally underrated. His ability to buff Magic Monkeys helps out a lot, he can pop leads from the start. The Wall Of Trees is very good but the cooldown is very long. The totem slowdown also got an insane buff which makes him better.

4. Benjamin: Although he is useless in CHIMPS, he is great at just about every other game mode, excluding the need for Banana Farms. Benjamin's level 7 ability leaves you not to worry about MOABs ever again. Syphon Funding can obliterate Rounds 63, 76, and 78.

5. Captain Churchill: Although he will always be the most powerful he is not the most effective. He is too expensive, and it takes a while for him to level up. He cannot directly pop DDTs without his level 3 ability active. He can attack fast, so that makes up for his XP gain.

6. Quincy: Used to be great, but not anymore. I feel bad that he went downhill. His Rapid Shot ability now wears off too quickly, but his Arrow Storm is not bad at all. His MOAB popping power is terrible, but he is pretty good at about everything else. Early on Camo and Lead popping power is a plus.

7. Ezili: The new hero was too overexaggerated. She is terrible at everything except for ZOMGs and above. The only other upside is that she can pop camo leads, enabling her to pop DDTs. The MOAB Hex ability is her only good ability, Heartstopper is useless because regrows are pretty easy, and Sacrificial Totem loses lives and is RNG heavy.
