So.. Why did Anti-venom get nerfed?
I also don't see the appeal of going for the sp3 rotation since the buff changes nothing for that scenario. To illustrate with an example, suppose that I'm taking Anti-venom for an evade matchup. I'll stack at least 3 decelerates first and then go for the extra damage. I have 2 options, I either go sp3 for the big stack of furies or straight into an sp2 for quicker damage. Let's assume that I choose the first option, here's how it would turn out:
+I get my debuffs stacked and go for the fat furies.
+Since I needed decelerates asap I probably have them stacked first so my most recent debuffs will either be spectre or disorient.
+In this case when I go for the sp2 with max debuffs I lose all decelerates and keep the disorients/spectres.
So what happened? I lost my main utility for the fight and traded it all for damage like how I used to before the buff.
Such indifference probably won't occur with the sp2 spam though since you'll most likely have 4 of the same debuff stacked and nothing else which would allow you to keep 2 of the debuffs you had priorotized. Although not a perfect fix this will definitely come in handy and I wouldn't have expected the core flaw of the champion to be erased altogether anyway. Aside from these 2 main concerns I appreciate the buff though I don't see them as such major changes as people are making it out to be.
One last thing I'd like to say to those excited for him from the rebirth event is that Anti-venom didn't become a decent champion overnight and the buffs are not as substantial as you think they are. We tend to hype big batches of 7 star releases a bit too much as seen with the same type of event from last year. Keep realistic expectations, not every ok champion will become an absolute powerhouse with a stat focus/higher numbers/minor buffs. I personally don't think much has changed with Anti-venom, he is still mainly a utility champion and not a hard-hitter. If you didn't enjoy or use him before the buff you probably still won't. You're obviously free to give him a try if you never did and see how it works though
Re: Dumb question but
The first prowess champion in the game was actually proxima midnight lmao
Re: Where did the class mastery cores go?
They're on a set rotation. There are 6 classes but 7 days a week, so Sunday never has any. They'll run Monday-Saturday but I don't recall the exact schedule beyond that

Re: ''Kabam Support: The ‘We Can’t Help You’ Department”
It took 3 replies but I was able to escalate a request beyond the canned, AI sounding replies. That said, my issue was that the question I asked had nothing to do with the canned response so I kept calling out they aren't reading my message.
In your case though, I don't know if that will help. It's been a long standing thing regarding rewards, alliance changes (even by kicking) and carrying over points. From what I can interpret, the game literally can't support that kind of adjustment. Nor can support know when someone was kicked for reason or not. It sucks, but it's been a two-way problem of being an alliance member and being alliance leadership. I get your frustrations though, it sucks royally to lose out like that. The only advice that seems to come up is picking better alliance mates. The good ones use Line or discord and talk regularly. That seems to help get to know if they're the kidn of team that kicks for no reason and so on.
I know it's not what you wanted to hear, but I hope it sheds some light on things.

Re: Kabam is now also scamming?? Yeah its ggs
Being illiterate or lazy/impulsive doesn't make this a scam. Idiots on this forum truly throw around words like they've never opened a dictionary.
But it does come close to dark pattern marketing.

Mystic. His powers are all derived from the mystical Ebony Blade. Energy absorption, immortality, and energy blast.
Hell, they could go Teach and give him the Sword of Light and Shield of Night.
Re: Stuck in crucible pls help
Do you have the Concussion up? Maybe the ability accuracy reduction is messing up the protecting removal
Re: Stuck in crucible pls help
Unfortunately Bullseye was a terrible choice here, especially considering that there is a bleed immunity node on the fight too.
Your best bet is to grind through it by hitting Sassy in the block only. Thankfully Bullseye can crit through the block so you don't lose all your damage, but I believe that hitting through the block should prevent his regen from triggering.

Re: Current State Of The Game
Gameplay 4/10 - I'm not a fan of "Why didn't my parry work? Now I can't reparry either? Is it a node? Nope. Now it's working again. WTF!? Dude just warped across the screen to hit me. Good thing the special button chose to ignore me hitting it fifteen billion times so I couldn't get the special intercept instead of smacked in the face."
Graphics 6/10 - How is this still not figured out? Why can't they stay at the highest level? Why is it still that a 2025 flagship phone can't keep effects like Magneto's heavy warp where it's a tossup from one day to the next if it'll be downgraded or not?
Monetization X/10 Unscored - I do like being able to pay for a champ I want, but I don't like the constant crappy deals and micro transactions. One of my big complaints has been that getting new champs or champs you want has been a PITA, Kabam's gone a long way in fixing that. On the other hand, just because I'm willing to pay for specific things I said I wanted to buy doesn't mean I might have interest in buying any old garbage.
Champs 3/10 - Kabam's soooo scurred of releasing another Hercules that everyone except OP defenders pre-sucks with logical chunks of kit missing/inexplicably set to dumb or only has a special little niche where they're good and those matchups are always highlighted to the point of obnoxiousness. Too many champs that basically do the same thing. Waiting for the next Onslaught/Bullseye counter is like waiting for the bus. If you missed the last one, there's another one coming in a bit.
As far as new champs, forget about it if it's a champ the general public might recognize, because they're gonna suck. Virtually unknown outside of comic nerds? They might be OK. Champ that the designer feels attached to? Gonna have meta tools. Female (or defender) and the designer's a fan? "We can't have Hercules/CGR/Scorpion, but all this is fine?" will be said.
Reworks/Updates 8/10 Cyclops/Iron Man/DPXF doing a ton of heavy lifting here (last batch only 2/10) - Woof. I know we asked for more of them, but these latest efforts ain't it. Sabretooth? LOL. For these things to take so long and then get a featured promo position, they have to be better. Maybe take a look at the things that the people you asked for opinions told you about. It really seems like there's an organizational push to ignore low hanging fruit and never reuse assets.
AW + AQ - trash beyond trash. need to be entirely reimagined. Maybe by a 3rd party, because it continues to suck after who knows how many attempts. I only hold my nose and participate when required.
Content 8.5/10 - I absolutely detest the old style of Everest content. Long fights like in Abyss or Epoch are my Kryptonite. Hate em. Champ switching is my jam. If I didn't have the roster to support that, I would probably hate it, though. I am getting sick of Protection, and annoying timers seem to be creeping back into the mix, so I hope that stops.
RoL 2.0 with no annoying timers, minimal/no nodes, no random evade/miss, no damage caps, huge health, maybe 2X attack. Let's really see what some of our champs can do.
