Best Of

I have those, too. Again, it's not the point. Congrats on the response, though.

Yes I do think AAR is a dumb thing to have in this game. But her ensnare was hardly that. We have entire nodes that do this 100x harder and we never complain unless it becomes content that's considered unfair.

Idk about you, but I have zero issues with Spiderwoman on defense. You don't have to have something that negates AAR. Like you said plenty of times, her ensnare can be shrugged, which a lot of skill champs CAN do. You also have a ton of skill champs that lower AAR, and you have champs like okoye and jabari that can also ensnare consistently.

I've also been super vocal, how this isn't entirely about her buff or nerf, it's a culmination of all the bs kabam is TRYING TO PULL. When does it stop? We can go into the fine fine details and come out saying hey this is better than before, but the reality is, it's an unnecessary change to a champ that definitely didn't need to happen before other changes to other champs.

WE LITERALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE EVADE COUNTER. WE CARE THAT WE'RE CHANGING A CHARACTER THAT DIDNT NEED TO BE CHANGED.

If you want to just be a jackass because you disagree with something the vast majority of people had a problem with, then whatever. I can't change your mind on it.

But go ahead and dumb it down for me some more while I have literally no issues with either of your two scenarios because I actually go into fights thinking first.

Ah, you were dispatched. Now I know that I'm cooking with gas. For those who don't know you, GroundedWisdom, after all these years of being a paid shill for Kabam, your comments are worthless. Sure, someone at Kabam gets a salary. Where does the money come from? You? Nah. The Vancouver Citizens' Gaming Consortium (VCGC)? Nope. It comes from players like me, and certainly not from the ever-present, ever-defending shills like "GroundedWisdom."

We are all playing a game that is so broken that you can't even click things without the spinning wheel on the bottom right corner. The game crashes regularly. The newly released "good" champs are nerfed based on faulty logic while the most broken defenders ever released are left untouched.

GroundedWisdom, after all of these years, is there not a large enough rock for you to crawl under? I consider your response a privilege. I just haven't figured out if you are the Kabam CEO or the Kabam CEO's middle-school-aged child.

I just have a few things to say:-

1. To @AngstyAngus , thank you very much for your pass finance support to the game, I'm one of the many the benefited from the. However much you have spent to have the 6th biggest account and highest Prestige, it is clear that you have invested a lot (and a lot more than most) into this game.
2. This is just an example of how the players are feeling right now, would Kabam feel the lost from just 1 player stop spending 25k, maybe that much, but @AngstyAngus isn't the only player that lost faith in Kabam.

So may 25k is not worry amount for Kabam, but what if it is 25k x 2, x 3, x 30? Would they worry then, because with the way thing are going it is a really possibility.

Whatever the middle ground is, the lost of excitement on new champs is visible, and so is the reluctant to invest into these champs too. New champs sales have been a good stable source of income for Kabam, so it is quite dangerous when players lots interest in it.

Sure is a good time for Kabam to reevaluate and rebuild trust with the community, stop the arrogant and start listening, these are not just players, they are you customers.

I'm higher than all of those guys. I've finished top-6 in Banquet several times. Focus less on the money and more on what is pro-player, pro-fairness, and pro-fun.

I’m way ahead of you my man. Stopped spending a while ago. Not even remotely tempted to pony up ever again due to Kabam’s tactics.

Thanks for your help keeping the lights on here for the good years!

I thought my $5k per year for several years was bad…

Kabam's latest MCOC Dev Diary on Spider-Woman is basically a masterclass in deflection, gaslighting, and never taking responsibility. The Kabam Special™. We've seen it a million times: hype up an OP attacker, cash in, then gut them once the sales numbers stop ringing. Spoiler alert: Karolina and Nico, you’re up next.

And really, how hard is this?

• Attacker → Ensnare ON (maybe even as a pre-fight ability?)
• Defender → Ensnare OFF

Rocket science? No. But hey, honesty isn't really Kabam's strong suit, is it? Let's call it what it is: they don't want her strong offensively either. Can't say it out loud, of course, so we get this song-and-dance "adjustment."

"Spider-Woman on node 42 is terrifying!" Oh please. That's only a Tier 1 headache, and it's not even the ensnare that's the main problem - it's the fumble. Meanwhile Enchantress, Serpent, Bullseye wreck half the player base daily, but sure, let's go after SW because… reasons. Truth is, she makes a mockery of their "unbeatable" defender kits - Dark Phoenix's immortality, Serpent's death immunity, Bullseye's evade, the works. And Kabam's fragile egos just can't handle that level of versatility.

They sold us Spider-Woman on the strength of ensnare, then pretend she suddenly "needs balancing." Please. What she really does is break their carefully scripted "buy the new champ to counter the new problem we just invented" cycle. Can't have an older champ shutting down their next cash cow, right?

At the end of the day, I don't think it's Spider-Woman that needs rebalancing - it's Kabam.

There are no positives in that dev diary, just the usual slop that we are used for a few years now.

What about the 30% chance to remove Serpent's immortality? I tell you something, that is more useful than Things failing rock stacks, which you can go around if you're skilled.

And there are other examples where her AAR can be useful in attack. Seatin gave the best example, I would rather have that 30% chance in a fight and risk it.
