Hall of heros - power creep and the game's future

Hall of heros had brought home how much power creep there has been in new champions.
As the years go by, the "fun and interactive gameplay" abilities of new champions has gone ballistic.
I appreciate that this is core to f2p games as the new champions with great abilities are necessary to get people to dip into their pockets to keep up with the power creep.
It's just interesting to see it brought to life so vividly in this event as each new champion is fought.
Is there a solution to this? Perhaps a subscription option that gives access to updated champion abilities and movesets to keep all champions relevant for those who pay?
For example, release a bunch of buffs to OG hulk, magneto, Captain America etc, but you can only get them off you are on a $5 a month or sigil esque subscription? No idea how that would interact with AW...
But the hall of heros and the truth from the gifting event that perhaps 100 whales literally keep kabam profitable, has certainly made me reflect.

And then come true by end of 2020. Thanks man! Lol
I mean, if you think about it, if we paid kabam a weekly subscription of $20 to play their game, they could probably buff more champions and maybe even throw in a free 4* crystal every week 🤤
Personally the idea you propose is more p2w then the current model as it would shift from people shelling out money as giving large boost to there roster to actually being a requirement in this game as buffs would be behind a paywall versus behind rng.

It's daft, but even 120 dollars a year (monthly sigil) doesn't keep a non f2p on the pace, unless they are a "time doesn't equal money" f2p (those who spend hours a day grinding).
So for those who do keep the lights on, who do fund the game, but not to the extremes of the whales, should they get more than just slightly more goes on a fixed odds beting terminal?
For all those hating the idea because it would drive away the f2p, frankly, they don't fund the game. They are needed for the community, but if they simply didn't get OG champion upgrades, but could still grind for all the new champions in exactly the same way as normal, what are they losing?
In my view not much. So yes, it does need addressing. Asgard and their ilk pack up their bags and no amount of f2p players is going to keep this game running.
Darkhawk .. when he first came out, they slapped him with a "BS node" giving him Null mode at start of fight ... plus a sprinkly of lag .. (I recall an old Unofficial Kabam Miike video showing it quite nicely, as well as the "Pause the game" workaround .. LOL )
personally did a hard pass on him even in Master then ...
they brought him back on this one .. plopped him on the final node, and oh yeah ... same BS node ! O.o LOL
Fortunately, a 5* R5 Ghost (which I didn't have then), made quick work of him this time around! ROFLMAO.
Silver Surfer, however, they went about differently.
Introduced him .. he gets "cheesed" with 3* Ronan ..
So in this one, they have him on the end, but they change the nodes around ... no Ronan cheese any more .. LOL
