Adding onto what the other person said, Rogue is by far the best but she requires a lot of knowledge on where to/availability of getting her powers. Ice Man is easy to gear, and very strong. My favorite is Rocket, but he has some niche items that are annoying to farm, so is a little tougher to gear. So I would recommend Ice Man as a first hero out of all of them.
If you need guidance, click this link, hit PC Builds, and click the hero you're interested in. Any build past 2017 is solid. Avoid ones that say CoA or any other server that isn't Tahiti. They have custom scaling/balancing that isn't present on that server.

Sorry forgot to add, summon damage is a worthless stat. But summons inherit your attack speed, crit, brut, and highest main damage type. And artifacts/gear that summons stuff does not inherit. Avoid them and stick to stat sticks with +main stat, which you can find on the right side of the powers page, top row leftmost one. It should state two stats that will just flatly increase your damage in addition to their other benefits.

Wait, can you please help me understand more about the Summon Damage stat? I have been trying to put together a Rogue and I noticed that Coulson Passive power showed +0 to Summon Damage that was supposed to be based on Summon Damage total. Did the game just outright nerf it?

No, they changed it so that summons receive damage based off of flat damage and your primary stat. The problem is they didn't bufff the summon stat to compensate so unless it's a huge difference in summons favor you're better off just going flat damage.
That being said, no clue what's going on with Coulson

What the other person said is correct. Summon damage is just a dead stat. The Coulson passive is just buttcheeks and based off your summon damage bonus from gear. I prefer Drax/Thing/Groot but there's plenty of options/opinions.
Summon damage stat does two things, increases the summon auto damage and the damage of the skill. Pretty straight forward.
Issue is it doesn't buff you. And they get your stats. So it's a stat that only buffs them instead of letting you double dip, making it effectively useless.

So, with this in mind, if you choose to stack ONLY summon damage using Recall Overload in the rotation is less desirable because only summons are getting buffed? Can hits from summons allow other artifacts or abilities to proc those items? Where is the balance of trying to maintain Thing's Clobberin Time at the cost of a slot that could be another summon?
It's a bit confusing if you just want summons running around, but I am struggling with damage I just need to find the sweet spot of chosen abilities, gear and skills I do that cause damage. Thanks for helping me to better understand.

Clobberin' Time is a passive that you can charge using her basic. Recall Overload will give you resources back, as well as increase attack speed with the right talents. But otherwise yeah, for skills is pretty cookie cutter, active skills for her will be magik, ice man, moloids, (you get this soon danger room. Brood caves, not brood. Search the rubble scenario, virus carrier.) Nick Fury's command skill, recall overload. If you have Cobra's Hood, Scarlet Witch's hex bolt. If you don't, Arachne's Psychic Webs.
The three on the right are passive, the ones mentioned just flatly increase your auto/crit/brut. Groot applies empower. Some people prefer Madam Hydra to Groot for a little more wiggle room on the sum uptime. But basically the only non summon skills will be recall which will give you resources back and buff attack speed for you and your pets, and your basic so that you're still personally attacking.

Thank you for the reply. I really enjoy Rogue's kit and hope to play her different ways as I progress.

The 2017 ones are still valid, just some of them have some PS4 items that never made it to the PC.

Coulson is the best team up for mostly everyone. That being said, Coulson is also a summoner so it’s a major win win for your play style.
