Re: Genuine heartfelt question for the mods
Just like all of you, my personal feelings are various colors of frustration for many reasons.
Bluntly, when I come in to chat and joke when I don't have an important update to share, that gets picked apart, and the thread turns hostile. So I tend to refrain from doing so here until I have something important/helpful to share.
I'm working with the Game Team on the connectivity compensation package to try and have that out this week, and some other player-focused Game Updates I can reveal soon, which feels like the best use of time from a Community focus.
Re: Spider woman deep dive
Different situations. She is advertised with an ensnare and ability that will be tsken out. Shocker was bypassing glance, that was fixed. He was not advertised as a glance by pass champ. Its not even an ability being replaced like changing bleeds into ruptures.
The sole argument is that she is performing over the 3.5 defensive abilities. Well with ensnare being taken out the utility rating should go down; but that will be ignored too 🤣.
Who cares about lawyers?... Its a scummy move and people who usually do scummy things are scum...
Goodbye Kabam, and a message of hope to those who remain
The SW nerf was the tipping point. Not because of the nerf itself (high likelihood Kabam will walk it back or adjust) but because it symbolized the deeper issue: Kabam keeps making unforced errors that show they no longer understand the game they’ve built. When players celebrate a champion, that’s a gift. The right move is to build on it, not drag her down to fit an arbitrary rating system. And when the community enjoys or engages in content, don’t overhaul entire systems just to try something new.
Meanwhile, the little joys that kept me hooked are gone. Engaging monthly content? Gone. Autoplay options that let me unwind? No more. Smooth updates that didn’t feel like live beta tests? Long forgotten. And with them, most of the fun.
If you’re considering quitting, here’s the simple roadmap:
1. Sell your overflow - it’s surprisingly liberating.
2. Miss a milestone - it won’t kill you.
3. Skip a full day or two, then ask yourself: do you really enjoy the grind, or are you just stuck in a loop while Kabam cashes in?
In spite of this, here’s my hope for everyone who stays, and for me if I relapse: Kabam can course-correct. Listen to the community. Test more thoroughly (or at all). Remember that, sometimes, less is more. Bring back effortless fun, because if players are logging in and enjoying it, you’ve already won.
The best performers make it look easy. Right now Kabam makes MCOC look exhausting. My hope is that one day soon, it feels effortless again, for them and for us.
Re: What's the point in investing anything in new champs?
I would understand if Spiderwoman was so over power as a defender but this isn't even close to need a nerf. The Kabam rating as so many have pointed out doesn't always make sense. I'm pretty sure nobody thought that hey I think the Spiderwoman shouldn't have the one extra untility of ensnare cause that makes her so overpowered for offense. This is strictly a Kabam looking at their data and saying you know what Spiderwoman will hurt future champ sales with this one utility. Otherwise it doesn't make sense.

”Rebalance Bait and Switch Program”
never again.
Re: If Ensnare is removed from Spider-woman's offensive kit...
No, because a champ gets better.
That’s like buying a car and then the dealer I bought it from tells me he’s going to make it faster and have better handling.
Am I going to ask for a refund because my car got better? No. It’s a silly argument to make. If something gets worse, you were sold a product that did a job to a certain degree, and then it got worse. You should be entitled to some kind of compensation because it’s not doing as well as it was advertised to.
but if something is better, why would you want to refund it? It does everything you want it to do, and MORE. There’s no reason for a refund if something improves.
Or take software. If Apple pushes an update that breaks my phone, I’m going to Apple to get compensation. But if I get an update that improves my battery life and makes it look nicer, am I going to complain? No, of course not.
honestly a lot of your arguments just seem to be the polar opposite to the general sentiment, just for attention or to aggravate people. I’m sure you’re a very nice person but on the forums you come across as someone because some of your arguments lack common sense and just seem to be there to create more chaos.
Re: Does Anyone Else…
OP addresses it in a few different points, but the general shift toward RPG mechanics over the past couple of years has really drained a lot of the fun for me.
RPG counters, matchups, matchup spreads, target matchups, blah blah blah.
Spider woman deep dive
I ask this because the deep dive shows spider woman destroying bullseye due to the ensnare.
After the changes she will not be able to do this I also think that the player base are due something if this change goes live because you sold us a champion based on an ability that you’ve announced is being taken away
Re: Does Anyone Else…
Point 3: Don’t forget the absolute dogsh*t that was rhino’s “buff”
Re: Does Anyone Else…
Whether there is any correlation between them being here vs the new team, what we can say undeniably is that the game was better in nearly every way a year ago compared to today, and I fear for what it might be like a year from now.
