"Including champions released through DOUBLE TRACK EVENTS".

Another lie. There s no end to this fraud!

The buff is actually mid. His damage was always insane, the issue was once he lost his fury, he had to spend 50 seconds ramping up again. With his "buff" his fury is only paused during the sp1 animation instead of for a set time like a pause timer. This is useless for Aarkus since you still have to bait out specials from the opponent meaning the fury pause gets no use.

Very disappointed

Lady D is definitely better. She's only slightly faster in ROL sure, but in longer fights which she was always intended for she goes much harder. Her base ruptures are quite a bit stronger with the new scaling. Once you start ramping the damage will go pretty ham. I've had a R4 sig 200 for a while.

I can also comment on Sandman since I've had him R4 sig 200 for a while as well. He currently has a bug in his description and I'm unsure if it's actually affecting his heavy proficiencies (they seem mostly fine to me, maybe a little lower than usual). It's certainly tight to get that extra heavy, but when you're prioritizing debuffs for a matchup it's absolutely massive that I don't have to worry about whether or not I trigger unstable during my special. Another thing is that with the extra heavy I don't need to build as many heavy proficiencies in short fights because I can get an extra one and the damage is better anyways.

I'll also comment about Aarkus since I've also had him R4 sig 200 for a while. He feels quite a bit smoother which was his exact problem and the sp1 burst does more damage which is pretty nice.

Not much to say about IDoom except the austere buff is huge. My #1 problem with IDoom who I've also had R4 and sig 200 for a while, was that his armor buff got nullified which killed a lot of mystics he'd be good. A lot of those nullify nodes like buffet also made him extremely annoying to play. The first hit of the heavy thing is not crazy big but it's welcomed. Not necessarily a part of his kit, but the energy vulnerability is now gonna trigger against a couple more champs which is pretty great and definitely worth mentioning.

I played IDoom, Lady D, and Sandman pretty successfully in Coliseum and the buffs will definitely make them better there and beyond. I'm also hoping to use Aarkus even more now that he's a lot smoother.

Another buff I'll mention is Storm X who feels crazy good now. I only have her R2 sig 40 but the damage and easy access to the alternate tempests is great. Obviously a lot more prowess but another thing to note is that the unblockable is easier to access and her Sp3 attack boost is crazy easy to access for fights with crit res. Also the debuff damage is nicer.

Emma feels better and her damage is better, but I will note that I'm having a bug where she's only getting one prowess in diamond form.

My Korg is only R1 but I tried him a bit and he seems pretty cool. He's like an easier to play Frankencastle that doesn't need to re-ramp. The damage seems lower than Frank's but again I only have him R1

There are a couple of buffs that I don't feel great/am unsure, but it's a couple champions that I haven't really played or have at a meaningful star rarity so I won't comment.

Best case scenario is that rewards for valiant become better (or because they tie it with the elder's rewards).

For elder's rewards to become good we need new progression title 11.

Somehow the spaghetti code would have blown up if they did that.

Fun fact I hate when they rework champs and then you find em as buffed new kit defenders in lower acts lol

Ascensions were looking great ngl, then came the livestream lol.

as a long time player this will be the start of the fall of mcoc

People fail to understand that this is not an event, its not a quest reward. Its probably their planning for the next 2 or 3 years.

Kabam made the mistake of calling this program Ascension and people thought it would be similar to a 6* ascension.
