You are spending your time on someone trying to put a whiner in his place, how are you any different and why does he have to ignore it when you can't ignore him?

I wanted the same thing. For her Lower Star levels to remain the OG version.

Can we at least get a 1* OG version?

Really? That's sad. Hoped that they would have kept Magik as a Legacy champ for 5* at least

Lady D is definitely better. She's only slightly faster in ROL sure, but in longer fights which she was always intended for she goes much harder. Her base ruptures are quite a bit stronger with the new scaling. Once you start ramping the damage will go pretty ham. I've had a R4 sig 200 for a while.

I can also comment on Sandman since I've had him R4 sig 200 for a while as well. He currently has a bug in his description and I'm unsure if it's actually affecting his heavy proficiencies (they seem mostly fine to me, maybe a little lower than usual). It's certainly tight to get that extra heavy, but when you're prioritizing debuffs for a matchup it's absolutely massive that I don't have to worry about whether or not I trigger unstable during my special. Another thing is that with the extra heavy I don't need to build as many heavy proficiencies in short fights because I can get an extra one and the damage is better anyways.

I'll also comment about Aarkus since I've also had him R4 sig 200 for a while. He feels quite a bit smoother which was his exact problem and the sp1 burst does more damage which is pretty nice.

Not much to say about IDoom except the austere buff is huge. My #1 problem with IDoom who I've also had R4 and sig 200 for a while, was that his armor buff got nullified which killed a lot of mystics he'd be good. A lot of those nullify nodes like buffet also made him extremely annoying to play. The first hit of the heavy thing is not crazy big but it's welcomed. Not necessarily a part of his kit, but the energy vulnerability is now gonna trigger against a couple more champs which is pretty great and definitely worth mentioning.

I played IDoom, Lady D, and Sandman pretty successfully in Coliseum and the buffs will definitely make them better there and beyond. I'm also hoping to use Aarkus even more now that he's a lot smoother.

Another buff I'll mention is Storm X who feels crazy good now. I only have her R2 sig 40 but the damage and easy access to the alternate tempests is great. Obviously a lot more prowess but another thing to note is that the unblockable is easier to access and her Sp3 attack boost is crazy easy to access for fights with crit res. Also the debuff damage is nicer.

Emma feels better and her damage is better, but I will note that I'm having a bug where she's only getting one prowess in diamond form.

My Korg is only R1 but I tried him a bit and he seems pretty cool. He's like an easier to play Frankencastle that doesn't need to re-ramp. The damage seems lower than Frank's but again I only have him R1

There are a couple of buffs that I don't feel great/am unsure, but it's a couple champions that I haven't really played or have at a meaningful star rarity so I won't comment.

I think the point of tension for me is that we dont know when ascension for these champs will be available for the average player. Kabam does a similar thing w/ the grandmaster's grace crystal, which I dont see an issue with. If players want to spend 36k units to get them early, that's fair. But that is due to the fact that those who dont spend their units/money on grandmaster's grace are aware that the new champ will be available in the next titan rollover, which is at most 3 months.

We will be waiting at minimum 9 months to receive ascension for champs that were marketed as 'immediately ascendable.' By that time, the excitement of these cool 'new' champs will have died down and the pool of ascendible champs will be much larger than it currently is.

the reason why it seems you didn’t understand what’s going on when you made the post is because you inaccurately stated that the ‘mid’ base pool is what we were stated to have to wait a year to ascend.

We can ascend champs from that pool on day one. Heck, for free. Kabam’s giving away a free crystal for ascensions.

The issue is that new champions, the ones typically considered good, some of which even seem to have been designed with ascension in mind considering how weak they are at base, will only be ascendable outside of their valiant crystals in 2027.

Maybe you don’t take personal issue with that, but historically new champs in the newest rarity (let’s face it, ascension is just 8 stars) are available in that rarity via a featured champ pool that’s available typically 3-6 months after their release. 1 year, by comparison, is LONG. We can’t have this become a standard or a trend. We are simply encouraging the dev team to consider some alternate means of ascending new champs within the 6 months following their release.

F2Ps will be able to ascend champs like Patriot and Gorr.

Whales will be able to ascend champs like Dr. Strange and Madelyne Pryor.

The only person on the forum who thinks this is cool is Kabamosaurus Rex.
