Re: Spider-woman balance update
Please stop all these nerf… By deciding not nerfing serpent, your decision is completely uncomprehensible !
You change a champion which had a unique niche but was well ballanced. Your decision are not what it should be. Stop making meeting in your office, listen to the community !
Re: Why nerfing Spider Woman is a really bad move
How do you remove an Ability for Defense and not Offense?
Re: Why nerfing Spider Woman is a really bad move
And yet there's an easy fix that doesn't require angering your fanbase. Remove it on defense only. We know they can do it. TBH the fact that they haven't come out and said they'll do that already leads me to believe they're pulling a fast one here. I'm not usually one to yell my head off on the forums but this one doesn't make a lot of sense.

Past champs could get around class relationships, so why not Spiderwomab?
Re: Why nerfing Spider Woman is a really bad move
The problem with this favorable reading is that randomness is not portrayed as "damaging to the player experience" in any other situation. Spider-man randomly evades the whole fight in unpredictable ways, Black Cat has a chance to evade and cause your ability to fail for most of the fight, Jean Grey can unpredictably cause you to experience Reversed Controls or not, Anti-Venom can place permanent disorients on you, Karolina Dean will have random sun fields the entire fight that you can get caught in, etc.
The solution has always been - play a certain way, don't use this champion, or use a different champion. The solution has never been "let's remove this ability so you don't have to deal with it."
While Kabam are within their rights to choose to remove Ensnare, their explanation is full of lies and mischaracterization.

Count me as one of schmucks who got her from my stash of hard worked for and saved Titans. Took her to R4. Playing with her made me forget for a few minutes the load of **** this game has been lately. She actually made the game fun. But that's not at all the intention here is, is it kbm? What a disaster of a company.
Re: Why nerfing Spider Woman is a really bad move
The real issue is waiting 6 months to do this and gaslighting the players. I don’t think it’s wrong to not want Jessica Drew to fight the class wheel but Kabam is clearly being dishonest here.
Re: Why nerfing Spider Woman is a really bad move
Kabam - please just listen to your player base on this proposed nerf. It is unnecessary and you haven't properly thought this through. There are counter proposals that are being proposed (just look at any of the recent posts from content creators like KT1, Seitan, Vega etc. Do the right thing please.
Re: Why nerfing Spider Woman is a really bad move
Exactly OP, nerfs are supposed to be for champs that are actually game-breaking or a nightmare on defense…. not for someone just performing slightly better than the number Kabam scribbled on their little rating chart. Their logic is basically, ‘we gave her a 3.5/5 on defense, but she’s acting like a 4/5- sound the alarms!’ Meanwhile they drop monsters like Serpent and paywalled Dark Phoenix who can delete you the longer the fight goes with barely any real counters. And Spider-Woman….A science champ with fury buffs that actually make her weaker in some mystic matchups. The hypocrisy is unreal- maybe the so-called Balance (nerf) team should start by balancing their own heads before touching a champ that was never broken to begin with.
Better yet, hire an actual testing team so you don’t spend six months letting players ranka champ up just to “balance” her later and call it a fix.
