Re: Game balance hypocrisy

I don’t even know what to say. I’m extremely frustrated about this on several levels.

The framing of how this is “not an offensive nerf” because “we haven’t seen spider-woman need a solution to evade across her matchup spread.” You must be joking. The evade counter is great if a node creeps into her matchup spread that causes evade. It allows her to land her power stings even in these matchups. If this truly wasn’t an offensive nerf, you would have only made this go into effect ON DEFENSE. You can make this a thing!! Why are we robbing a champ of her utility ON OFFENSE AND DEFENSE IF THIS IS A DEFENSIVE NERF!!? If we are going about this chain of thought, why not remove Thanos’s panic debuff on defense and offense? Cause Zola and red skull don’t have evade or miss? Nothing about this change is adding up in any kind of logical way except you randomly selected a new champ that was powerful and robbed her of part of her kit
Really? This is the champ receiving a nerf? Not serpent? Or enchantress? Or onslaught? This is where we draw the line? Spiderwoman with these changes will still be taken by the same counters she had before. This is an absolute asinine decision
If you really wanted to make a defensive nerf, remove her fumble debuff, not something that has uses on attack too.

I’m so over this decision-making. I invested all of these materials into a character, and now the team is nerfing her. I’m not spending a dime on this game anymore or until they make massive swings in the other direction. Cause right now? The game feels awful, and every facet is getting worse over time and not better

Spiderwoman's AAR is too "confusing" .... but the Pacify mastery has existed for years

Per the balance update post

Similarly, the Ability Accuracy Reduction isn’t potent enough to encourage using it as a solution to defensive encounters, but was strong enough to add confusing interactions across the game.

Then why have players had to deal with the confusing interactions from the Pacify Mastery the entirety of the game's existence??

The Pacify mastery is similarly 'not potent enough to encourage using it as a solution to defensive encounter', but it is 'strong enough to add confusing interactions across the game'.

Re: Rank down ticket for Spider Woman

They say the reason they are nerfing Spiderwoman is because she's too strong of a defender. While pretending to help us they are actually hurting us because anyone thats not out of touch like Kabam can see its really because she is a better attacker than they intended. They could at least be honest with us but of course they can't even manage that simple task. They have opted so many times to leave champs that are way better defenders alone.

We need rank down tickets. This is absolutely unacceptable. I would have never wasted resources on her if I knew Kabam would totally remove an important part of her kit. Its one thing to tweak a champ but this is not acceptable.

Whats next? Let's just go ahead and remove Hercs immortality because that makes him too good a defender too.

Re: Spider-woman balance update

Things are going so well for Kabam lately they thought to themselves "let's just nerf Spider Woman while we are at it."

Re: Spider-woman balance update

Why are they taking away the ability on offense? She literally is supposed to target enchantress who has evade as part of her kit

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

You are still missing the point...

This is not about previous defenders, this is about the lame speech of "She is too strong in defense", now it becomes an issue all of the sudden and they are taking away an offensive ability. How convenient....

Re: Spider-woman balance update

Is there even a plan for defenders/attackers balance, or we just do God Tier defenders for sales and screw everyone else?
