Re: Patriot buff live... I think
We have no hopes for mid falcon then. Pretty sure they increase his slow duration by 3 seconds and trauma potency by 5% and call it a day.To be fair, I don't even think Torres needs that, just make his slow counter miss and let him gain a 3rd debilitate, and he's actually pretty stable.. the 3rd debilitate would lengthen his traumers too.. yeah he could do with more damage, but who doesn't
Re: Patriot buff live... I think
As someone with a r3 patriot, i will say that i cant imagine using him in 99% of situations when i have better options. Imo he has one redeeming quality is the instant steadfast and i ranked him purely for that to counter node 42 spiderwoman as a last resource assignment. This balance doesnβt change how i play patriot, or why i want to use patriot. So ig he will be collect dust as a r3 till kabam decide to release another unblockable bg meta 
Re: Yondu is kinda heat now
He was already great, this just made him way betterI think great is maybe pushing it a bit, but I did have a soft spot for older Yondu. He was one of my earlier r4 6*s when his first buff went live, and I think he was underrated but he definitely had faults. I struggled to justify using him as time went on and the cracks added up as power creep hit. This time around I think Yondu is just straight-up gonna be meta, especially if they release him as a 7*.

Re: Solvarch has 3 to 5 star versions and not just 6 to7??
Why not? Isophyne is in basic crystals besides the 7*.Thats not a problem i just din't expect them to be working on it already

Re: Patriot buff live... I think
Was there a reason though for the change, we had a champ released, 3 months later the balance info came out, then about 2 months later the champ was adjusted.. that seemed to work well.. I'm a huge fan of, if it's not broke, don't fix it..
We posted about the shift to Batch Updates a few months ago. There are various reasons why we shifted to Batch releases instead of the old system - one of them being, it does give us more time for full review where we can make sure if a Champion needs a tune up they get one.
At the end of the day, Patriot was already doing what he was supposed to do.
The "disagree" count on the video I linked doesn't change the fact that Patriot can perform.
It's totally fine to not like him, I don't personally enjoy using him - and I will never sit here and try to convince you to use a Champion you don't vibe with - but he's been obliterating higher-ranked Photons in 40 seconds in Battlegrounds since he was released.
After the buff, he'll be doing it even faster and easier.
It isn't about "waiting" to release his buff, it's about having an orderly process that allows the team to do their best work without having to crunch to unrealistic timelines.
And yes, his 1 target match up, he's brilliant for, I think the community may have been hoping for his reach to be a bit better than 1 champ, ie high evolutionary
Re: Patriot buff live... I think
As right as you are, and I don't dispute that... It's actually nothing for near 8 months worth of wait and anticipation. look at spiderpunk, the slight changes they made, made a huge difference and impact and credit to the balance team for thatpatriot, ide still be surprised to see him in decks in mid to high level bgs (yes I have BGs brain rot in this instance) or in war attack for that matter.It fixes most of his biggest issues, what were you expecting them to change?I do joke, but in truth, I have tried to love Patriot for such a long time(due to photon being my pet hate to fight), and I've anticipated this buff for a loooooong time... And it seems sooooooo lack luster.. and 7 months for a balne, nearly one year since patriots release, really seems excessiveBack to Patriot Change ( I won't say buff, as it isn't).....Y'all are funny, let's just conveniently ignore the other 8 buffs that went out this month
7 months though πππ.. seriously though, is kabams balance team hiring??? Ide love a job where we do bare minimum (joke, I'm sure they do more behind the scenes π π)...
