Maybe a new mechanic, you choose which state Human Torch starts the fight in. Each one has its attributes...

What mastery descriptions are being updated for "clarity"?

MasterSmoke

When will y’all fix the crystal opening & level up lag glitch or whatever it is

BowTieJohn

If he is the first of the two in the Arenas I will definitely go for him as I'm hoping to get all 4 members of the Fantastic Four. This month sounds fun!

You want something that changes the tables? How about fighting with another champ in your party? More likely than say unblockable

Would of loved to see some additional information posted on new variant - rewards and what not.

Also, when should we expect to see some additional champion reworks! Everyone is asking and no one is getting clarity. How about rework calendar? Only fair in order for people plan resource/reward use from completing things like ‘variant’. Simple ask! Please and thank you

Djrb

Who’s coming to contest first ? Need to plan my arena grind.

Brainimpacter

so we can switch to his fire form before fight? will it be on refresh timer, so you cant start every fight with it or do we have to do something specific in a fight to make it available for the next fight?

Brainimpacter

or is it just like Emma Frost except you get to pick what form to start in.

I think it is better to assume that update is mandatory on 1st April itself.

I may also be facing difficulties with this requirement.

That'll be coming next week! Don't worry, we won't leave you in the dark too long.

Is the device OS just my version of Android?

BenLucas

Can we please have some clarity on this? What sort of timing? Which champs will be most likely affected?? And why?

How about an update when you're planning on fixing pure skill and inequity. Or returning our units for a broken mastery that hasn't worked in over 2 years. That's the question everyone should be asking.

Magrailothos

Could be, I suppose:

Form 1: Living flame so intense it can melt steel, disintegrate living tissue or ignite the atmosphere.

Form 2: Just some guy.

It will affect All Champions, but not in a negative fashion! This update should bring all devices in line with each other, so there are less inconsistencies in abilities and controls activating (ie. Parry timing, etc.). For the most part, this shouldn't really change anything for users on Newer/High end devices, but will make the game more consistent for players on older devices.

RiderofHell

What bout quake dropping her heavy and watching while i try to do a heavy but wont trigger??? She is able to do heavy after the stun wears off

One more question... Why change your avatar to Mr. Super Effective himself?

I was bored of the Skrull. It was time for something new and exciting and very effective.

Just to be clear here, this isn't meant to fix that some champs can't fire off their special right after a 5 hit combo, since the AI throws up a block immediately preventing that?

Testing Killmonger's SP2, and they just throw up a block, I can't hit the special button any faster, and I have a finger over the special button so I can hit it as fast as humanly possible.

No, but that is a different issue. Those are not "global issues" as they affect one Champion at a time, and that one Champion will have to be looked into. I'll report Killmonger right now, but can you let me know what device and OS you're seeing this on?

mum_m2

The timing of my combos is all sorts of messed up again.

I'm getting an increase of either dropped inputs or just no response from be tapping the screen to initiate a light or medium this leaving me wide open for counter attacks
