Abyss is out... so explain to me why Scarlet Witch is so overpowered?

There have been numerous completion runs (and fails) for the abyss. It gave us a chance to test our skill and test the functionality of our champs. Many known-to-be top of the line champions have failed to perform adequately and a few underrated options have excelled in these fights. So my question is why was a "sig level 200 5/65 Scarlet Witch" is as game breaking as Kabam Miike said? I don't believe she would have the firepower to solo abyss fights. Scarlet Witch has no immunities so that crosses her off many act 6 paths as well. What exactly makes her the most broken champ in the game? Her damage output? Can't be higher than Domino's. Her power control? Random but decent... still under a few power controllers. Her regen? Low chance to proc and can't be relied on to survive mistakes. But who knows I guess... Ghost is far worse than her.

I don’t know what excuse they are giving now, but at the time this whole discussion started, champs like Domino weren’t in the game, I believe.

So she would easily be one of the most op 5* champs to exist. Now though... I don’t think she’d be that op.

Here’s my question. If SW isn’t OP why are people trying to bend heaven and earth to see her added?

Apocalypse189

All this is leading up to is a new version being released for Doctor Strange 2. Because I know the current version is only OP in certain matchups but certainly not overall

^ I want proof, because I do not believe that.

Not in the slightest.

All I see there is a lot of hype and that hype will sell a lot of crystals, once they finally release her.

And trust me ... they will eventually.

I swear, if you guys call this "hyping a champion" again, I will make sure that we never release her, because nothing ever compares to the hype you all make up.

She did be dropping 150k sp2s on Crits with suicides as a 5/65, op?? Not really, seen higher, but yeah I wanna see kabam give us a chat about how she does compared to others, like they did with the champs to be balanced.

Lmao is that a threat??? We both know you can't afford to not release her as a 5*/6*, and we will keep asking, the amount of quid she will bring in because of the nostalgia can't just be missed out on by kabam.

Here is what I don't understand, Miike. Remove 5- and 6* champs out of the equation. SW is not even the most powerful champ in the game, let alone too overpowered. How would a 5* SW be so different in the presence of current 5- and 6* roster?

Because the mystic class has started to dwindle ever since 2017 and scarlet witch is one of my favorite marvel characters yet I cannot use her in the content I play due to her only being available as a 4* or lower.

Really? Because Sym, Claire, and Doom would beg to differ.

No need to be snarky man
Could you potentially release footage of the champ at 5:65

That may have come across as Snarky, it was supposed to be "tongue in cheek". Apologies!

No video right now. But maybe in the future.

Yeah, seen higher.

But for those champs that you’ve send higher, are they able to power lock + stun + power steal + regen as well?

Playing her again in v4 made me realize how OP she still is.

Wow 3 good Champs since 2017 how cool

Longshot_33

Guys calm down, we will get her when the time is right. They said it themselves.. the champions meant to annihilate the abyss have not been released yet. That champ is 5* SW. She is to AOL what Aegon is to LOL. Let them make the easy money from the desperate ones who want to get in there early then we can destroy it with a few revives with SW in good time

Quake can do all that besides the regen and power steal.

So she can do half of that and even then only the stun is really there since its not a real powerlock and passive powergain continues to work

Sw is not remotely close to aegon

A 5 star video would be really nice to see. It's hard to just take someones word for it when we only have a 4* for comparison and it really isn't a comparable as 5*s are much stronger than 4*s. Hopefully one day you guys could release that so we could see it. That would be really cool. Hopefully one day she will be released as she is a fan favorite.
