Question for staff

BadPullsMarco

So I wasn’t planning to purchase any offers this Fourth of July but I just so happened to get my favorite champ as a 6 so I’m thinking about splurging this Fourth of July but lately I’ve just seen a relentless amount of complaints on the forum about nerf this champ nerf that champion and I don’t want to invest in this character or this game if that’s on the way. The character is Longshot by the way (I know he has some obvious and intense flaws but when you get anything of obvious value, it’s always a concern). It would be very ethical to give some type of answer since those deals won’t be cheap, especially the most likely 15k unit offer for T5CC shards or total catalyst. Thank you in advance!

There is a roadmap supposedly coming next week, outlining the future of the game

Longshot will get nerfed at some point, we've all said it the moment we seen ccp gameplay of him,

If namors regen got nerfed I can guarantee they will nerf longshots op damage. When that will be no one knows, but it won't be anytime soon due to the unstableness of the community at the minute

If they nerf Longshot before buffing at least 3 champs, I'm pretty sure a large chunk of the player base will call it quits

BadPullsMarco

That will be my last straw. That champ single handily got me back into the game and getting it as a 6 star made me actually wanna spend again. If he gets nerfed, given the limited window of real awesomeness and all the drawbacks he has...I’m out plain and simple.

It would also be so cruel given how many times they’ve sold his crystal. Him and doom seem to be the most consistent.

Oh you can bet dooms nerf will be along side longshot, ghost, corvus & kamala

It's only a matter of time

BadPullsMarco

If they’re going to Nerf them, they better give him the blade treatment, where they don’t Nerf him directly but just start making everything magically incinerate immune or stun immune.

Considering that the 2 champs that were "nerfed" were Cull and Namor and they were barely changed. Namor is still a highly used champ and Cull still does amazing damage. I don't think you'll have anything to worry about. They haven't truly nerfed anyone since 12.0.

Take what the others on this thread are saying with a grain of salt. No one knows if, who or when any rebalances will happen.

they might nerf longshot, but they can't nerf doom. He is a totally and completely well balanced champ. He's doom. He was made to be OP, just like aegon. He is doom. He will not be stopped

Yeah I also heard that they will nerf longshot and doom. Kabam are losing money on hard content because of op champs

No they aren't. Gotta love how people just post BS pretending to be cold hard facts.

longshot isn't OP at all. He has crazy damage, but there are only a couple places where he can really use it, because he lacks utility

BadPullsMarco

I’d be really shocked if they nerfed specifically those two characters since their respected cavalier crystals have been out for like 6 months now and constantly repeated. That would be false advertisement if they’ve been discussing nerfing these champs but still selling them constantly as they are now.

I think this also highlights another point of how much trust has been lost in the company where your first thought after getting something you want is fear.

Nerfing is never the answer, just increase the value of the surrounding pool.

BadPullsMarco

I did some digging and pulled up the mcoc official reveal and looks like they are fully aware of his ups and downs and I don’t think they’ll nerf him after seeing these pics:

BadPullsMarco

They also say that if any champ can nullify non damaging debuffs or there incinerate immune he’s basically useless.

Why do people think champions will be nerfed? Other than 12.0, most champions have never been nerfed. Yes, champions have been tuned down before, like namor and cull, but those changes were so minor. To continue, she hulk and wasp were fixed, not nerfed. IMO longshot is working fine too. He sucks in matchups where he can’t use his heavy, which also had terrible reach. He’s also week against opponents with not many buffs and incinerate immune opponents.

BadPullsMarco

It’s a good point for sure, it’s just hard not to get nervous when you get what you want in a endless sea of people who are having a bad streak and wanna watch the game burn.

It just a game, why have to be so pessimist about something that even don't happen
Also when Kabam make good champ this year, you guys complain that they are cash grab and will get nerf with no clue, making solid/bad champ complain they are too weak and trash, so what do you want ?
