Re: Spider-woman balance update
The balance program should have been abolished earlier this year when they said all buffs and nerfs will happen ever 6 months.
I'm sorry but if you give someone a toy and let them play with it for 6 months, you don't get to take it back to trade for something worse. If a champ is bugged, fix them right away. If they aren't working as described fix within 2 months max. Buff a champ? Sure, whenever is good and surprise us with great news. Need to nerf a champ? Don't! You haven't nerfed a champ in ages now. You didn't nerf OP champs like serpent ( dual threat), onslaught (dual threat), enchantress (op defender) so let the idea of a need go. You, as a dev team should learn from your mistakes and not make the same mistakes (like not testing enough to be sure) in the future.
At this point I think we, the players need a global boycott. Not from spending but just take a single day and don't play. Show kabam what it will look like when the player base is all gone. Because that's where we are going with the past 3 months of "updates."
I vote we all skip playing this Sunday.
Where are the Forum Managers?
Aren't there people who get paid for this? 😂
Re: Spider-woman balance update
This is the exact kind of trash that keeps people from spending and bad mouthing this company constantly.
There is zero justification to nerf her.
Re: Where are the Forum Managers?
@KabamPinwheel legit question. Not a criticism, not a comment, just a hopefully easy question.
We've got you, Dork and Mike as the community team. Three guys where we used to really have mainly two. At this point, we understand clearly that Dave's job description doesn't involve much, if any, time interacting with the community. Got it. So that now leaves you and Mike. Perfectly good team to take on the task.
The trend that we have been experiencing since you all started is that when things are going bad, you all seem to disappear. And we can even go, often, and look at when you each last logged on and see that it's not a matter of not commenting, but also a matter of just not being here. And yes, there is more than just the forums to manage. So the question is, particularly when things go bad, where do you guys go? Why does trouble more often than not pull you guys away from the community rather than towards it?
Yes, you're gathering feedback, but sometimes none of you are here until hours later. Raids launch bugged and we get radio silence. New EQ days comes around, usually bugged, and you guys don't login to the forums almost at all.
The discord is well staffed with mods, but the guardians that once helped staff the forums have pretty much disappeared or have even abandoned the forums, saying they don't like to be here. So as a result, particularly in the more significant moments, no one is here. Why? What pulls the community team away from this part of the community? And that's not to say you guys are never here, because you are here a decent amount, and yes, you are more difficult to find, but it just feels like you guys why away when things are tough. Some insight into that would be helpful for all of us.
Re: Where are the Forum Managers?
Forums would go away if Kabam had their way is my guess. They don't want the feedback here as they rarely have listened to the feedback for years.
Yes, sometimes a few will comment, but it's become more sparse.
If you think Discord is better, no. It's an echo chamber that typically does not listen or address anything. They simply post Announcements there that people find out about and come to forums to protest how absurd the changes continue to be.
Kabam only seems to want money and how they can squeeze it out of the most players.
Unfortunately, they seem to forget this is a GAME made for ENTERTAINMENT and escape of the real world. It's way more a chore and not convenient to many casual players now.
I also don't like when they always act like they are doing these badly taken (by the vast majority of the MCOC Community and Player Base) changes are for our own good or the good of the future of the game… It's gaslighting. There won't be a future after all the mess of 2025 Kabam and more specifically September 2025… And it's not over yet.
You can be profitable and make money without pissing off your player base. You can make MORE money when you are PRO-PLAYER but Kabam seems to refuse to grasp this fact.
I hope that Kabam Leadership makes things right but I won't hold my breath. 100% if this change sticks with Spider-Woman, I'm done come January 2026; I have had enough of what can only be described as a Toxic Relationship now.
Spider-Woman nerf (yes it's a NERF offensively though the communication tried to claim the opposite) is not the sole reason people are upset, but it's another straw that broke the camel's back after all the problems, issues and bad decision making from this company.

Re: Where are the Forum Managers?
I see that @KabamPinwheel it is definitely more difficult to see your guys interaction without the colour coding
But that being said, @BringPopcorn has a point, I haven't seen Rex posting but it seems he isn't responding to the more pressing issues like the Sassy bug, ai still going crazy, complaints around strikers etc not of these are being addressed by anyone
And more this Spiderwoman issue, there are tonnes of players unhappy and zero response; should you guys be prepared to repsond after such an announcement?
Maybe there needs to be a bit more responding to the real issues, rather than maybe the less important stuff
Re: Spider-woman balance update
these changes are BAD why is she losing her ensre that makes no sense it takes away so much offensive utility and makes her way worse on defense. Every champion has counters and spider woman is NO EXCEPTION to this. As we have seen with venom, Okoye, Crossbones, bullseye, etc. if there was no changes being done with serpent there should absolutely be no changes to spider woman this is ridiculous. Not even to mention she is a very highly sought after champion in the current titan that a vast majority of the community has taken up to r4 sig 200. This feels like a complete stab in the back from Kabam after a month of already terrible changes with the new EQ blunder and top 30 Prestige issue.
Re: Spider-woman balance update
This is the worst thing they can do! This leaves a bad taste in my mouth especially when you spend money on items for theses great champs only to screw them up! They need to focus on the 💩 ones! So pissed!
