Re: onslaught change
KT1 said it like it should be said to KABAM.
They are trying it the politican way now as if we are total idiots and will not notice sh*t.
This forum is dead, sure Rex will read some stuff but communication is very one-sided now, as Discord does not "allow" for replies and comments in notifications when they give us their two cents.
What a joke!

Re: Angela for Alliance Coliseum?
My best counter for this feeling of dismay and frustration is not to play this broken game mode.

This stupid Coliseum situation
How ridiculously complicated and cumbersome are these two Coliseum enemies plus their corresponding nodes?
Kabam, what are you thinking?
It's so incredibly annoying. I have absolutely no time to play because I'm constantly busy figuring out what I'm supposed to do. As if Arcade wasn't hard enough already, no, they have to add insanely complicated nodes on top of it. Same with Crossbones. Why the SP2 lock? Why the degeneration? It's absolutely no fun. The rewards aren't worth it either. Sometimes the game lags and you can't perform heavy attacks. Then, of course, you have to have the right champions, as always. What the hell are you thinking? This isn't "fun," it's not "challenging," or anything else enjoyable. I'm so annoyed by it, I'm angry and stressed. I love the game but this has nothing to do with fun and relaxed gaming, not even a single T5AC justifies it! Gosh. Thanks, have a good evening!

Re: onslaught change
Anyways this thread has obviously picked up a lot of steam and I’m sure it’s in Kabam’s interest to at least try to put out this fire, so I’m just gonna go ahead and tag @Kabam (Osaurus) Rex for comment in the event that he hasn’t seen this thread yet.
Re: onslaught change
Onslaught has been active in the battle realm for more than two years. They can still find some way to “re-balance” him. Now maybe no champion is safe anymore especially 2024-2025 champions, except Dark Phoenix :(
For Hulkling and Valk, the community found the difference in damage and pointed it out, or they would never shine again due to kind of “unknown” change. Next time we may be not so lucky as this time since we cannot guarantee that we are able to compare and point out every difference consisting of different mechanics.

Re: onslaught change
Thanks OP, I got it and I tested it too.
It’s definitely a silent nerf without any communication. I don’t care the reason of the nerf like they’ll announce a new skill defender with protection mechanic or 946 boss with protection. I only know this change is never written in the patch notes or bug reports whatsoever. It’s just that they want to change something even half of the top mutants would be effected not only limited in Onslaught.
Jean, Onslaught, Cassandra, Gentle, Silver Samurai and more mutants are nerfed without no announcement or note, meanwhile it needs players to test and find the fact that they have nerfed it.
It’s absolutely a BIG L and “We just fix it into the right way of interaction” Trick doesn’t work anymore. If it’s a bug caused by the new game version, fix it back to the former interaction mechanic ASAP. If it’s a nerf, I believe they just put fire on the oil and we’ll see the community burn again. Whatever it is, the game-changing “NERF” has already swallowed players’ BG points when you use Onslaught to take down DThanos.
I won’t accept any saying like “We just found Daunted is too powerful to be accepted in the game environment”. If so, they better prepare every rank down tickets for every player

Re: onslaught change
If this isn't a clear mistake that gets immediately resolved. And not in the "future". It's starting to look like a lot of intentional bugs. They have been trying to lower the ceiling on Champs and increase the floor on others. Kingpin, hulkling, Valk.. Onslaught. I'm fairly confident even when they do "fix" a couple of those, that they will not end up the same as before due to it "conflicting with too many other parts of the game". Honestly this company is very very hard to trust. You can be sure that bugs that make Champs better, they will surely not remain keeping them with increased dmg. But you can't have that same confidence when it comes to the other direction.
Just feels too easy to change how things work in order to suit their agenda of limiting Champs they feel excel a little too much for their liking.

Re: onslaught change
Yeah hold on this is real. They totally did change Daunted’s interaction with Protection. Just tested it. Used to be able to plow through DThanos’s Protection using Onslaught’s Daunted, now he’s shut out.
For those uninitiated, Daunted used to stack additively with Protection effects, rather than being a separate multiplier. For example, say an opponent has 90% Protection but 50% total Daunted potency. Instead of 100% (base) - 90% (Protection) = 10% damage taken, and then Daunted multiplies that by 1.5 to 15% during Specials (still bad), it’d be 100% (base) - 90% (Protection) + 50% (Daunted) = 60% damage during Specials (way better).
Why wasn’t this in the patch notes? This is a fairly big change. Onslaught (and other Daunted champs) really benefitted from this mechanic, if this was gonna be changed it should have been communicated. Besides DThanos, I used this mechanic to beat down Destroyers in War on the Protection - Intercept node, since Onslaught largely didn’t care if he couldn’t safely disable the Protection.
