Why Sentry, of All Champs?

I totally get that people feel that Sentry should be a god tier champ, and I definitely agree that his abilities were extremely underwhelming. The most recent buff to him was an easy fix that, at least from what I can see, should elevate him out of trash tier to at least ok tier. What I don't get is, Kabam stated many times that they did not plan on making any changes to Sentry for the time being. They said the whole idea behind the champ was that he was like a loose cannon, unstable and unreliable but a hard hitter if you get lucky. So why did Kabam do exactly what they said they wouldn't?
Also Sentry's buff was a simple stat adjustment. They didn't have to write a whole new set of abilities or make new animations. If it was that easy to fix such a new and less commonly-owned character, why couldn't we get some quick fixes for older, even weaker champs? The colossus/she hulk/karnak/etc. owners feel neglected.

They did not say they wouldn't change Sentry. They said, at the time, that they had no plans at that time to change him. They also originally said that his original design intended to reflect an up and down performance with some "momentum" features but at no time did they say that the actual released version of Sentry specifically hit that target accurately. So the premise behind your question, that Kabam did something they said they wouldn't do, is not true.
Ugh, you’ve gotta be kidding me...
This **** again?
You mean million exploding sunflowers, not balls.
What simple stat adjustments can be made to the champs you’ve mentioned or the other bad champs really though? To make them interesting to fight with also. You could just give them massive stun times and they’d be god tier but let’s be realistic.
She hulk- increased chance to stun, increased percentage on sig ability won’t do much. Some champs already have 100% stun chance and they aren’t god tier. Her sig can’t affect much really. Her mystic ability, reducing power gain could be good I guess but we aren’t going to see a high %.
Collosus- increased % for armour proc? Could be good, but he’d still be boring as hell. I fall asleep when I use him.
Karnak- I already like Karnak and with the true strike update I think he’s even better. But I wouldn’t complain about increased true strike duration.
Daredevil Netflix- more powerful armour break? Increased stun? Won’t make him a decent champ
Spidergwen- increased armour break, still trash
Kamalha Khan- more powerful fury, if it were the level of Hyperion she could be good. Apart from that, no.
Groot- increased chance to get physical resistance? Better fury. Doesn’t change his charge system being ****
Venom- increased cap for buffs he can get, more powerful fury or crit. Won’t change him much.
Almost every champ that needs to be buffed can’t just get a stat adjustment, it won’t make them a good champ. Look at the past, magik had new abilities, so did LC, Rulk, Hulk and winter soldier. None of them were just given stat increases. Sentry is unique because of the way his abilities are, he was set up like a god tier champ but his % were way too low. It would be like if Star Lord had a 1% chance to increase attack each hit.
