Huge oversight in event design, why would you have 2 related events end at different times. If they had put the same expiration date on both events people might have played 3 BGs just for this season at least.

Much respect to you, Mike.

That said, this message of yours is a bit worrying.

Since when did the transition from 6★ to 7★ stats become so complicated? Updating a champion’s kit usually means changing how they function, for better or worse—and that’s exactly what raises concern here.

You also mentioned wanting to bring their damage “as close as possible to their historical performance.” But there really shouldn’t be an “as close as possible.” The scaling from 6★ to 7★ has always been clearly defined, and every transition follows the same rules. That’s precisely why certain champions were never released as 7★ in the first place—because the scaling system is consistent and predictable.

I say this with respect, but this gives me some bad vibes. It feels uncomfortably similar to the Spider-Woman situation, where it later became clear that she was deliberately targeted for an attack nerf.

I like and trust you, Mike—but this needs to be explained better.

It’s givingggggggg… nerfed or bugged 💅💅💅💅

I said this in a thread a few months ago but I will post here as well. There isn't a magic button we can just push to fix something like this. It's a fairly involved process and it takes some time, and we have been working through it this week. A lot of these resources are shared with other things, like cleaning up the Alliance Coliseum cheaters which we also had to do this week.

When something like this goes wrong the comp process requires:

1. Someone from LO to decide what we are going to provide for compensation
   
2. Someone on the data team to produce the list of affected accounts and the compensation for each
   
3. Someone on LO to create the comp package in data
   
4. Someone on LO to write the comp message
   
5. Translation of the comp message into all of our official languages
   
6. QA testing of the comp message
   
7. Scaling our servers to send out the comp message
   
   

I think you're reading into my words a bit too much here.

No intentional changes or updates were made to these Champions.
If anything has unintentionally shifted or broken over the past year or so, we'll either revert it or fix it properly. In cases where that's not possible, we'll adjust things until their damage output aligns with the expected / intended performance.

for?

The team will make sure their damage scales well. We dont need comp for this, just need it fixed.

Interpretation is somewhat subjective. I personally can easily see how they read it and why it concerned them some. They also didn't come to a conclusion, they simply had a worry about what one of the sentences could imply. Kabam (Osaurus) Rex said it correctly, they just read a bit too much into their words and has a slight concern over what they could mean. That and there is nothing wrong with asking respectfully for a clarification so there are no further misunderstandings.
