I’ve heard this too from several content creators.

An arena rework would definitely annoy almost everyone. But man, I don’t know how much more bad news the community can take

Totally agree with you. We’re going to lose necessary buffs, and it’s a shame.

Moreover, I don’t think the main problem is the rebalancing of Dark Phoenix, but rather the constant pressure from people against the rebalancing program, which has made Kabam stop putting effort into something that has only brought them more complaints.

We have what we deserve as a community for being so critical…

Not sure this announcement changes much. Kabam reserves the right to change any champion they see as game breaking. They may have still decided to nerf Spider-Woman because they didn’t like her game breaking “defensive” abilities.

Are we going to get communication when Kabam thinks a champion isn’t game breaking? Serpent is bloody game breaking and should be nerfed.

The suspension of the program is a purely convenient way to avoid having to announce any change to paywall Dark Phoenix.

They close rebalance program because they dont want nerf whalers' Dark Phoenix LMAO

original poster said “it was awesome last year, a real game changer for me”.

Part 1 is not correct by any objective measure. Part 2 is an opinion that is correct in OP’s mind.

…is the correct answer.

I agree with case of serpent and Leader. but atleast we had some system. Isn't it better to have a less efficient system than not having a system at all.

if they kept rebalance as it is, and didn't touch dp, or nerf dp, there would be some outrage definitely. But atleast we had some hopes for dracula. Imagine instead of saying we gonna keep serpent as it is, they said we are going to discontinue rebalance at that time, Champs like arcade would have remained mid.

Hear me out. Someone else brought 12.0 into the discussion, so I'd like to draw a comparison that is probably long forgotten. That patch made one mastery too powerful in the eyes of the developers...mystic dispersion. It was adjusted, everyone got to test it out. Everyone was refunded and got the opportunity to buy it back. It was a great way to execute the change. Another less proliferated mastery was made less effective in the patch, and if memory serves me right, this was when I got my first taste of GW, so you can understand how long that's been a norm. Anyway, at some point the mods stated that the pure skill mastery was going to be handled like mystic dispersion. It never was. There wasn't enough interested players to keep them honest with it. We did our little spend freeze...it was inconsequential. Sadly, I knew the that I could never fully trust my game investments to not be taken away...and I caved and id3 spend from time to time...more and more. I think I've seen enough to not turn a blind eye to the convenience that Kabam takes with devaluing what they deem necessary anymore. It's born again FTP for me!

Yeah, I can see the argument that she's an objectively worse attacker without the AAR. I don't necessarily agree (because I can get really annoyed when I can't predict whether stuff fails or not on my opponent), but I can see that argument and I think there's a fair bit of validity to it.

What I struggle with is how that translates into her now being "ruined." She has all of the damage and all of the utility that she has always had, save for arguably the worst and most unpredictable AAR of any champ (that has access to AAR) in the entire game. For a nerf to genuinely ruin her in my mind, it would have to remove something like her power stings or her fury buffs.
