Abomination is God-Tier?! Best “Synergy Buff” since Winter Soldier??

Ya, he seems pretty powerful with these synergies. Of course, like Antman, he needs A LOT of them to be viable... but it’s still cool to see him dish this kind of damage.

Why do we need a whole team of Abomination if we can do it by a single champ like Aegon?
But you are absolutely right. Abomination should be able to poison on regular attacks in his basic kit and not need synergies. This is a band-aid, nobody is going to rank up Abomination because of this.

But when it does...happy days
Don’t make me use 4 champs to make a turd shine , it’s pretty lame and lazy !
If your favourite character is Abomination (PS A-Bomb is a different character), then yeah sure, go ahead. If Abomination is the first 6* you get and you have a 4* or 5* Red Guardian, sure go ahead. But in all other cases, no don't rank-up Abomination.
As I said before: synergies are a band-aid, they don't structurally alter a champion. Abomination remains a bad pull. Synergies are made as cash-cows, so you would spend on crystals on getting this new champion. They don't add it to the basic kit as most people already have Abomination and they won't earn money from that. But at a certain point, enough people are getting sick of pulling **** champions and quit. Conveniently, MROC is getting launched so Kabam can start all over again. This game has reached its endpoint and I don't see much evidence Kabam is seriously investing in it anymore but rather trying to keep the whales with endgame content.
Using the same champions over and over can get tiring but if I had Red Guardian I could spice up my content runs and use Abomination or Unstoppable Colossus. Let's face it: Kabam is never going to go back and buff champions like @AlphA101 suggests. It's just not practical for them and would make them less money. Synergy buffs are the only way for some of the old champions to find some use other than full on reworks.
But the main issue is that Kabam isn't releasing enough of these synergies. We need many more such as ones for Cable, Punisher 2099, Dormmammu, Sentry, Green Goblin, Phoenix, Surfer, Carnage, etc. There's a whole lot of champions that require simple fixes that can be brought through synergy buffs similar to how Mordo finally got some fury duration increase synergies. Synergies like Antman's, Winter Soldier's, UC's, Korg's, Beast's, Thrag's, Mephisto's, and Abomination's allow them to be used in endgame content when paired with some of the best champions in the game. They might not be the best options to use but their damage and quirky utilities sure make them fun.
People are Yay! but also Boo! because they could have and should have done it already a long time ago especially since we've been pleading with them to hurry up with the buffs, stop wasting time with supersloooow reworks that aren't needed, and to stop tying this process into new champ releases. Does anyone think that without buffs for Abomination and UC, Red Guardian wouldn't still sell all the crystals and make Kabam a ton of money? Those synergies could have been released forever ago as solos.
