The Nick Fury Synergy Nerf

There was a change recently to Nick Fury’s Restoration Kit Synergy, now not allowing you to shrug off 2 debuffs at the same time, therefore making this Synergy much less useful for bypassing Suicides. I don’t mind that this nerf happened... but I do mind that they did it nearly a freaking month after Nick’s release!
Some people spent many hours, thousands & thousands of units, & some even large amounts of money to get this Synergy, for the fact of it bypassing Suicides. I myself, would’ve bought GMC’s for Nick, if the 3* didn’t have the Synergy... just in case I wanted to run Suicides someday. Sure, Nick is an amazing Champion, but many people just wanted the Synergy. So they went all out... putting they’re sweat, units, tears & sometimes cash to get this guy, only for the center reason behind they’re massive grind to be taken away 2-3 weeks later.
A simple...
“Hey guys, this Champion is bugged. If only want him for his Synergy, don’t waste time, units & money. Just wanted to let you know, because we all know false advertising isn’t very nice”.
...would’ve done wonders. Why you didn’t announce this sooner, I have no idea. But this feels like the definition of “Bait & Switch”. I’m not asking for compensation, but I do ask that you NEVER do this again.

So if it was removing both bleed AND poison from suicides, it’s a bug right? Lol
it was a fix you can look above and read
If I put it in another perspective, it might be probable that the developers took 1-2 weeks to discover that it wasn’t working as intended as the synergy became more and more popular (hence getting their attention), had a round table amongst themselves to discuss whether they could keep it working as it is currently on live servers. And after going back and forth abit, the conclusion was that it was overpowered, hence the announcement to fix the synergy. It might have been the interaction between the synergy and both debuffs occurring simultaneously that caused a coding issue that needed time to fix. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ Point is, we’d never know why it took so long.
However, if they were to announce everything they were tabling and discussing amongst themselves, the playerbase might be flooded with too much information. And there are things better to be kept in-house and only announced when confirmed.
We’ve seen some fixes and nerfs in order to balance the champs in the past. Tbh, having NF’s synergy fixed to work as per worded and intended is not a big deal.
In that masochism is supposed to remove 1 debuff but if multiple trigger at the same time (parrying with CapIW for example) then all get removed.
If we are fixing this synergy can we fix that part of masochism if it specifically states 1 debuff (not read the description in a while tbh)
As for the topic, whether it took them a couple weeks to fix it or a day, there was no reason to assume they were just going to leave it.
Honestly, people make their own choices.
Are you for real right now? Even if the freaking players knew it was a bug, (which they didn’t) that would mean Kabam knew too... therefore, why not simply announce...
