Damn the community is wild. Yall need to calm down. They never said that they would nerf him to the ground. Please look me in the eyes(metaphorically) and tell me a 400k sp3 every fight is balanced. You can't. Their goal is to balance him to the point where he is still the strongest damage dealer in the game but not as much. Yes I know his block proficiency is low but his utility is no joke. He can counter evade and autoblock, has armor break, and can parry projectiles. His ramp up is not even hard yall just need to get the champ for once or get good. Stop begging for everything to be easy and go your way. Hell they could even bump up his block profiency which would be a win win.
Proxima can do that and she takes ramp up, is she op? Nope, cull is just as impractical to ramp up as her in 6.2 and he required heavy attacks like proxima
You say this like you know cull obisidian so well. Cull does not need missions to complete in fights. He is actually very simple. Just parry, heavy or bait heavy/special and counter with a heavy. Then when you apply enough armor breaks you get the rout buff and deal tons of burst damage. You act like cull is supposed to be an all around champ like ghost with that level of damage. Hilarious
You sure you even play cull he has missions that’s how you get more thanos favors. And this is coming from someone with a r2 six star he isn’t practical for end game use. There should be rdt to see how he preforms after the “tuning”.
I don't see how you can be complaining about a parry into a heavy. Just don't block attacks and you'll be fine. Certain matchups he could be at a disadvantage like punisher 2099 or nick fury but all champs have bad matchups
Seriously where do you get your experience playing cull? Act 4? Act 5? You can’t just simply parry and heavy in endgame content. If the node doesn’t have stun immune it’s almost always got lumber and even if both of those aren’t there he takes so much block damage from parries. He just constantly needs health pots to top off. And now they are going to diminish the only thing going for him his damage.
I only have a 5/50 version of him. Seen enough videos to know his block proficiency is only as bad as the player. This video sure looks like 5% damage every parry.
“His block proficiency is only as bad as the player.” Oh wow that’s good yup I totally forgot that a great player can parry and take less damage then a poor player can when he parries as well. Get real dude his block proficiency is one of the worst in the games doesn’t matter how good or bad a player is he still takes too much parry damage to be suitable for act 6 or aq or war without using items to top him up.
A good player will take less block damage not parry damage than a less experienced player whether it is from special damage or basic attacks. At that high level of a cull obsidian his parries will only get stronger and stronger as you rank the 6* up. His block proficiency actually matches much of the hulks and is nowhere near starky or wasp.
But with cull you HAVE to parry to make him a great damage dealer, the hulks either benefit from low health or have extra resistance, and you can play them skullfully without parry and still get max effectiveness, his block proficiency may be the same but due to his reliance on parry he still takes much more damage
Hey Kabam, how about you test these champions before you release them? Novel idea.
Nope, pure scam instead: 1) Get players excited about a character via videos released by Kabam Content Creator Program 2) Players spend tons of money or an insane amount of time grinding for said character 3) Players rank up character and use for 3 months 4) Kabam uses this as essentially a "beta test" where the users had to PAY to be involved in 5) Nerf any character that performs "well" (and by well I mean arbitrarily decide this) 6) Repeat.
Talk about unethical and distasteful.
So now we're going to have to wait 6 months after a champ is released to figure out if we want to rank them up to a high level now? 3 months for you guys to figure out if you're going to nerf them, then another 3 months until we see what that nerf is and how it affects the character. Come on, that's just absurd.
Damn the community is wild. Yall need to calm down. They never said that they would nerf him to the ground. Please look me in the eyes(metaphorically) and tell me a 400k sp3 every fight is balanced. You can't. Their goal is to balance him to the point where he is still the strongest damage dealer in the game but not as much. Yes I know his block proficiency is low but his utility is no joke. He can counter evade and autoblock, has armor break, and can parry projectiles. His ramp up is not even hard yall just need to get the champ for once or get good. Stop begging for everything to be easy and go your way. Hell they could even bump up his block profiency which would be a win win.
Proxima can do that and she takes ramp up, is she op? Nope, cull is just as impractical to ramp up as her in 6.2 and he required heavy attacks like proxima
Sad news about cull, i understand people frustrstions even i don t have him yet.I wasn t as lucky as this guys. Wanna kabam know that in game are lots of old champs, better say almost all of 2015-2016 and more useles champions that need to be changed insted of cull/ebony,better focus on this champs as i always and most of us drop from cristals(we need to pray to drop something good this days). As i sayd, kabam please change most of those champions just to give us a fair play with them as well. Even i like iron man let s say he is pretty useles in game. Adrian.
I noticed that Kabam has been changing the abilities of existing heroes quite often these days in the favor of Kabam obviously. I also understand you guys are a business and are trying to make money. However, changing the abilities of a hero after they are released into the public while thousands of dollars is spent on crystals and resources to rank up the champion is terrible business. The community is very upset about this activity. Do you test the new heroes? What's the point of the content creator program? And if you do sufficient testing, then why are you changing the hero months after the fact? It is strictly unfair to all of us. I highly suggest you change this behavior. Rank down tickets alone isnt sufficient compensation because I know many people that spend thousands of dollars to get the champ. Maybe do some proper testing before finally releasing the champ. Please dont respond with a generic email. Please take this seriously. I play in a top level alliance that is very concerned about the present and future of the game. Thank you for your kind attention. Sincerely, Concerned mcoc player

Also hulks block profiency is also horrible coming from an owner of a 5:65 gulk who has the exact same stats as og one Literally if you a miss a parry in endgame content like variant it’s about 5-15% of your health gone
So I logged in to the forums and saw this. Should be a fun day. Few points.
Kabam, stop watching KT1. Just because he can use Cull in Act 6 doesn't mean it's practical for the rest of us to.
Cull is already a pretty balanced champ. He's got crazy damage, but you've got to build him up which is painful in difficult content, and he's a glass cannon. Actually keeping him the way he is is good for you, because people will want to use him, but they'll have to buy potions.
Time to change the way we look at early access/featured crystals/featured arenas. They're no longer a reliable way to get good champions. They should be treated as a novelty for collectors.
Those looking at a lawsuit; you're not going to get anywhere. Tweaking the numbers isn't going to count as selling a product different than advertised.
We don't know what this "balance" will be. Remember, they're not changing abilities, just tweaking numbers. So they'll probably reduce the potency of his armor breaks. If they're remotely smart, they should increase block proficiency/health/resistence as well, so then it's actually balanced.
Everyone's complaining about Cull, but everyone seems to forget that there's an actual significant buff coming to Ebony Maw, who already has way more utility than Cull; if he can deal damage, he'll actually be a really good power control/nullify champ.
Rank-down tickets aren't coming. New champs are liable to change. We know this. They announced it. Right or wrong, we can stop complaining. We're not getting them. This isn't She-Hulk
This is a bad business model. TEST YOUR CHAMPS BEFORE RELEASING THEM. Hire someone who actually plays the game. I recommend KT1. Maybe Brian Grant. Lagacy. People like that who actually know what they're talking about. This is a very stupid way to go about it.
I withhold judgement until I actually see what the changes are, but I'm not extremely upset about it; at the same time I can see that it's stupid. This is why the average player needing good champs shouldn't spend money on crystals. EVER. Those should be for Collectors. This will hurt Kabam's bottom line though, so go Kabam! Great work!
I'm going to try and be a diplomatic as possible here and try to be open minded.
I think Kabam has reached a point finally where the push to get new champions out every month, exciting champions that will drive demand and dollars, is outweighing their own capabilities to test all of those champions in a 4+ year old game. I mean think about it, all the work that goes into developing 2 champions for release every month has to be crazy. But now we're in a situation where there's a lot of "balancing" and "tuning" and even specific rank down tickets recently given out for changes. So much so, the need was so great to actually test and fix their champs that they announced a 3 month window to try and change newer champs quicker. But it wasn't like those champs weren't up for changes after that window, that's how it's been before this was announced. I won't drag out the long list of champions who have been changed, or bring up 12.0 again because it's been litigated on here and other places many times.
What we have now is a situation where new players have an announcement from Kabam telling them that new featured champs each month are subject to changes and "balancing." Older players remember the dramas over so many characters and previous cycles of this, and now recently had to get outraged to move kabam to give rank down tickets to a champ who ALREADY HAD BEEN REWORKED/BALANCED, only to have them changed months later and remove a key function for hard content. People complained during that debate that they had zero confidence going forward that new or even old champs wouldn't be subject to the change/nerf/balance/tune hammer.
I have been very vocal over the years on the forum about situations and changes like this, others have too and sometimes it was met with the right decisions at Kabam, sometimes not (dormammu and archangel wave hi from the corner). I'm currently sitting on enough resources to take another 5 star to rank 5, or a six star to rank 2. I pulled Domino a short while ago, and immediately she was my choice to rank all the way out as quick as possible. Then all these changes started happening and the She Hulk situation happened. Now Cull is announced. What confidence should I have at this point that she isn't going to be announced on the rebalance list and my rank decision wouldn't be the same as it might have been after? Should I wait? If I don't have confidence in her being kept as is, why should I have it about any other champion I would consider taking to rank 5?
Why should anyone playing have any confidence they will do it correctly, actually balanced, or if they will be feeling benevolent and side with those asking for rank down tickets? At this point it looks like it's going to be a big blow up every time. Meanwhile, people have lost confidence in going for a new shiny awesome champ when they're coming 2 a month, and if that champion is working properly from the start or will get changed a few months later once the dollars and content creator videos reveal something is too good with them. So people stop wanting to get crystals or grind on releases, and they stop ranking champs because they don't know if it's gonna be a waste with no return on investment, and what do you have left? Not much of a working model for a game going into it's 5th year. It's not sustainable. At least it doesn't seem that way to me. Meanwhile, I'm left not ranking anyone because I can't decide, I have ranking PTSD cuz i just had to take down my new rank 4 shehulk last week, and I'm already burnt out from war and quest in perpetuity.
Now, if they came out and immediately said "if we reduce his damage in any way, we will provide rank down materials, no questions" then I think a lot of the outrage you are seeing here would be diminished. But at the moment we have no guarantee on anything to do with these decisions, while it seems to be the community doing the majority of the testing and bug finding to even come to a conclusion on who deserves tuning or not. Someone up the leadership ladder at kabam cannot think this is a good sustainable way to keep loyal players and their money, and I wonder how long this can go on before something just gives.
I ranked up cull rank 5 and used awakening gem and 200 sig stones. If you nerf(or balancing like you say) cull, I don’t need rank down tickets or any compensations. Because I just quit this game. I’d like to thank you for giving me the chance to stop spending money.
I also want to say this new three month review program is horrific. We should not be the beta testers for your game. especially people who paid money to get champs that you end up nerfing. Never mind the time people spend getting resources to rank these champs up in order to get a champ you released into the game. Stop screwing the player base over.
I'm done trying to stand up with the community when ever a "nerf" is in place. I have to side with Kabam on this one. His damage was simply too high for the future content to come. For instance he killed that 6.2 omega boss in just a few combos.
Ok that’s another example of you not doing 6.2.3, a MASSIVE amount of champs can hill him in a few combos due to the global, that has nothing to do with cull, I killed him in 23 hits with spark not even building max poise, 11 hits with ghost under 25 with captain sparkles and heck it only took 30 something hits to kill him with a freaking Luke cage at r1 6*, cull taking him down in a few combos means literally nothing

That’s when he was bugged!!! If you can get him to omega red with full thanos he still takes more hits to drop the captain marvel movie. And that global node can make anyone seem more overpowered then normally.

For instance clearly doesn’t know the 6.2.3 nodes which gives every champ a massive damage boost I’d recommend watching some cheese videos of it Also one thing I will say is we don’t see how many health pots were used before that fight to ramp up and again like I said due to the nature of this node ramping up will be easier in 6.2.3 compared to the rest of act 6
I hope the dev consider improving his block proficiency because he takes so much damage to be able to dish out that kind of damage. Even at 10 stacks he needs to take block damage to trigger riot. He is a really expensive champion for content clearing. I also don't use mine for act 6 either or variant 3.
While making changes pls buff Claire. Her debuffs are insanely weak and make her almost unusable against a lot of champs. Her only redeeming factor is a half decent regen that makes up for her low hp, low armour and low resistances. Pls make her a more viable champ for endgame content
So you've fixed him, broke him, reduced/fixed him (won't say nerf as he shouldn't have had that damage power), and you are just now wanting to rebalance him? You all need a QA team. As many have already said, he takes 3 to 5 matches to ramp up....doesn't have a lot of defense in harder content....I know nothing we say will ever matter to what you all want to do, but this is disappointing to a player who pulled him, ranked him, and used him before you all messed up in your 'fixes'. It's your game and you can do what you want, but it's bait and switch again. I'm not one to call for Rank Down tickets, I just think maybe you Al should test/play all content prior to releasing. It's very frustrating to someone who's been here from the beginning and put a lot of time, effort, and resources (game and real life) into it.
I don’t understand your business model. People invest money in this game to buy rank up items (ex: tier 5 bundles) to take champions to r5 or r2 for a 6*. Months after a character comes out, you guys turn around and decide a character is “outperforming” the intended level. The people who invested money to help with the rank up are certainly not getting their money back and rank down ticks are like unicorns. How can this not piss off people? It’s getting ridiculous to do this to the people that keep your company afloat. It makes no sense. If anything, make it so that a champion can’t be taken to r5/r2 6* until 3-4 months after they come out. This should give you guys more than enough time to see how characters are performing. Get it together!
@Kabam Miike I suspect this will fall on deaf ears, but I'd suggest doing your best to convey this message to anyone at Kabam who will listen.
You are setting yourselves up for a class action lawsuit.
I'm no lawyer myself, but in our current sue happy civilization, I have no doubt what you are doing violates a number of ethical laws, which someone fresh out of law school could clean you out for.
This goes beyond rank down tickets, as they only refund in game resources. Many of us spend real money to purchase crystals for these new champs though, only for you to later "tweak" them in a fashion detrimental to the player.
Could you imagine buying a new phone advertising lighting fast 5G LTE, only to have the manufacturer tell you six months later "That data rate is too fast.... we're turning off the 5G and putting you back at 4G permanently." You'd be back at the store raising cane in no time.
If I were you, the practice going forward should be two-fold:
1) No champion currently released is tuned "down". Feel free to tune up, that's your choice, and no summoner would complain.
2) If going forward, this is a policy Kabam would like to enforce, then during that 3 month period of data analysis, you should not sell crystals advertising a champion. Simply put, use your content creators as 3-month beta testers of new content, such that you're happy with the character you release, when you release him.
P.S. As others have already stated, Cull isn't over powered. I have him at 5/65 sig 200, and frankly, I barely use him, cause he's nearly dead by the time he's ramped up to do the damage you claim is over powered. Any down tuning you implement will go from "barely used" to "never used".
I am gonna make this as clean as I can,WTF!! How and why do you keep doing this? If cull gets nerfed at ALL in ANY way...then give all my units backs for the crystals to get him...and then dupe him...and then my 150 dig stones I pumped into him and all my cats and rank up materials plus my gold....this is beginning to really piss us off to no end as players!! The dude was a health pot pit..and not worth **** until 2-3 fights now...take anything away from him and I don’t want him as a r5 period
Damn the community is wild. Yall need to calm down. They never said that they would nerf him to the ground. Please look me in the eyes(metaphorically) and tell me a 400k sp3 every fight is balanced. You can't. Their goal is to balance him to the point where he is still the strongest damage dealer in the game but not as much. Yes I know his block proficiency is low but his utility is no joke. He can counter evade and autoblock, has armor break, and can parry projectiles. His ramp up is not even hard yall just need to get the champ for once or get good. Stop begging for everything to be easy and go your way. Hell they could even bump up his block profiency which would be a win win.
Proxima can do that and she takes ramp up, is she op? Nope, cull is just as impractical to ramp up as her in 6.2 and he required heavy attacks like proxima

This goes beyond rank down tickets, as they only refund in game resources. Many of us spend real money to purchase crystals for these new champs though, only for you to later "tweak" them in a fashion detrimental to the player.
Could you imagine buying a new phone advertising lighting fast 5G LTE, only to have the manufacturer tell you six months later "That data rate is too fast.... we're turning off the 5G and putting you back at 4G permanently." You'd be back at the store raising cane in no time.
If I were you, the practice going forward should be two-fold:
1) No champion currently released is tuned "down". Feel free to tune up, that's your choice, and no summoner would complain.
2) If going forward, this is a policy Kabam would like to enforce, then during that 3 month period of data analysis, you should not sell crystals advertising a champion. Simply put, use your content creators as 3-month beta testers of new content, such that you're happy with the character you release, when you release him.
P.S. As others have already stated, Cull isn't over powered. I have him at 5/65 sig 200, and frankly, I barely use him, cause he's nearly dead by the time he's ramped up to do the damage you claim is over powered. Any down tuning you implement will go from "barely used" to "never used".
How and why do you keep doing this? If cull gets nerfed at ALL in ANY way...then give all my units backs for the crystals to get him...and then dupe him...and then my 150 dig stones I pumped into him and all my cats and rank up materials plus my gold....this is beginning to really piss us off to no end as players!! The dude was a health pot pit..and not worth **** until 2-3 fights now...take anything away from him and I don’t want him as a r5 period
Y'all just silly
