Re: Spider-woman balance update
Fun facr:
Hi I am BringPopCorn, been accused of living here in the forums. I can't remember a single post complaining about Spider Woman as a defender. I do remember a ton of post on Serpent, Enchantress, a few on Zola; but I can't remember a single one on Spider Woman. Guess who gets the nerf stick?
Re: Spider-woman balance update
I’d give you one as a reward as well but you’ve never made it past Vibranium in BGs, let me know when you do tho

Re: Spider-woman balance update
I certainly think this is a crazy time to be nerfing (they can blame it on defensive ability all they want- removing ensnare is a big nerf) from a much loved and sought after recent character.
I fully expect the same thing to happen with other powerful attackers released this year- Nico and Karolina. Kabam are shooting themselves in the foot, reducing the likelihood of people spending on new champs and resources to rank them up and generating ill will. After reading that announcement I don’t feel like playing the game at all. Seriously what’s the point.
Re: Spider-woman balance update
There has to be a better reason - and assuming it’s a good reason, there needs to be more visibility into why said decision had to be made (especially relative to other confusing balancing decisions).
Kabam you say you respect us and treat us as adults, so please do so - starting with not treating us like kids who can’t delineate between what is inconsistent and subsequently us viewing what you say and/or do as disingenuous at best.
I buy 4 figure NFTs for fun so discretionary income is fine to spend on enjoyment, and You, Kabam, have made me a f2p player out of principle because of how you’ve done things and continue to do things. The way you continue to show it won’t change for the better makes it even easier to not support this project.
At minimum, please spend more time and set more logical and objective thresholds (holistically-centric ones at that), and make decisions quicker before people waste resources that you sold to people - who thought you’d be objective and consistent with “balancing” decisions.
I R4 Spider Woman in both my accounts with that in mind. My top prestige champs of champions like Onslaught and Serpent were safe and now I’m starting to already regret my 2 R4 Nico - who was introduced within a month to counter a $1K champion.
I’m sitting on 2 more R4 resources but it’s hard to trust ranking the premium Titan champions because I’d rather not waste resources twice-over via buying Titans and buying rank up resources.
It’s hard to trust a company whose business practices are not aligned with what most consider to be fair for consumers - oh, and don’t get me started on how you went about the Zola compensation, as it’s violating consumer practices and at minimum disingenuously shady.
Thanks for making me F2P.
Re: Spider-woman balance update
This made me laugh so hard. Like where was this logic when Serpent. Bullseye. Enchantress was released.
Re: Spider-woman balance update
She’s a staple in my AW attack team as node 12 path 3 seems to be the number one placement for Enchantress. This node has counter strike - combat power and sixth sense - 50% chance to autoblock all light and medium attacks. Ensnare allowed me to sometimes bypass the auto lock, not a lot, but enough for me to get to a bar of power and use it before the counter strike node shuts me down completely. Now without ensnare, I’ll be lucky to get a medium or light hit in. Kabam tried to downplay the effect saying that spider woman doesn’t have a need to counter evade, but that’s not all ensnare did, the 30% AAR Reduction is a HUGE deal. More so than the anti-evade. That debuff alone was literally the sole reason I R3’d her as I don’t see many other options for that annoying enchantress fight. They just made her absolutely useless on one of the hardest fights in AW. This isn’t a “rebalancing” this is a major nerf. Completely removing a 30% reduction in AAR is not cool. I’m so over this game, been playing for 10 years and lately I just feel like my times been coming to an end. This last “rebalancing” seems to be a good cue for my exit.
Re: Spider-woman balance update
Cool you don’t want us having ensare give her passive persuit and we can call it a day you can not remove an important part of her offensive kit and sell it to us as a “balance” we aren’t stupid
Re: Spider-woman balance update
I think it's **** dumb I took her from r1 sig 0 to r4 sig 200 fed all my sigs into her and this is what I get for doing that. Wow if you're going to do this then NERF serpent THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND UNCALLED FOR!
Re: Spider-woman balance update
Really makes you want to go chase Titan’s huh? Get your red hulk or green falcon 7 times…. Or Get lucky to pull SW, just so you can burn resources on a champ to be nerfed later,
