no buddy, hes talking about could we have just one day of you not existing?

so, this one time, it’s awesome. call-back to an insane man doing an insane thing. perfect patch to a champ a lot of folk wanted to love (for fun, not competition). easy enough SQ element for what you’re getting (ORed fight notwithstanding). THISCAN DRIVE ENGAGEMENT. in moderation.

this is not a patch for reworks, and not a cash grab. if they treat it as such, they’re repoisoning an already toxic well.

if they do this twice a year, quarterly, something infrequent but recurrent, this would be a hell of a PR win. let us vote on the next poor schleb to get this treatment (and we ALL want to love a few of the champs we never use), or make it seasonal/ holiday themed, use it as a rando story event (cosmic egg forge WTF??? sure!).

VtD is still a trash defender. the relic takes him from meme tier attacker outside of nick questing roles, to useful. not must have, not meta distorting, but legit I can and may actually WANT TO use him, effectively. the design is really right where the fan base wanted it.

this one time, huge win, and I actually thank and applaud Kabam for this. just, PLEASE, think about how you want to revisit this.

One day… just one day. It's all I ask.

They put in the time and resources to essentially buff him, but instead of outright buffing him, they tied it all to a relic. Not only do you now have to get that relic for the buff to "come into effect", you also don't have any choice when it comes to relics.

It's neat that he got buffed, but I don't really see any upside to it being tied to a specific relic instead of just being added to his base kit. We now have a choice of whether VtD is bad or not, instead of just having him be innately good and having a choice of how to enhance him further with a relic of our choice.

How about an OG Thor buff, instead of every Thor but OG Thor? 🤣

If friendlies count it shouldn't be too bad.

I like this idea however I have two concerns.

1. If there were to be more of these, I can't imagine they wouldn't be monetized which puts us in the realm of having to pay for a champ buff

2. Any champ that would hypothetically get this would need the relic equipped at all times to be good instead of just being good themselves

Agreed, this is a really cool way of buffing champs and would like to see more (hopefully through content like this).

@Chilling421 I see two yolks in your inventory in the screenshots you just sent
