When is Kabam going to fix Dr. Strange?

I know everyone's complaining about war but I feel like beating this drum again. The Doctor Strange character is just trash now. Of all the nerfs what was done to him was the worst. How did Marvel allow this to happen - not even a year after the movie was released? Every time I go to use him I'm disgusted. The immediate change after the huge backlash was not enough. I keep waiting for Kabam to right this great injustice but time marches on and he's still terrible. He should not be weaker than Doctor Voodoo! Seriously?
Who else would like to see Strange restored to (at least partial) glory? Who's with me?

So funny, I couldn't pull him when he was good but grabbed him twice in arenas when he was a basic recently. Since then I've got him 3 times. So yeah I agree.

Right after they add Alliance Bases.

They don't even need to make him a god again. Increase his regen to what it was before and leave the buffs and power gain how they currently are.

YOU'LL GET A BETTER DR. STRANGE WHEN YOU FIX THIS DAMN DOOR!

I'm also suspicious that they made the AI block much more often during our healing phase than the other phases to further deny us healing.

Yellsome

I got him right after he was nerfed.Kabam likes me now

Better to get him after the nerf, you don't really know what you're missing.
Take Thor as an example, I got him a week before 12.0 and awakened him much later so to me he's great now, to others that had him before 12.0 he's trash

DERPYREVENGER

Maybe they should give him a new Sig ability:

Eye of Agamotto

Every 45 seconds, Dr strange rewinds any detrimental affects that happened in the last 5-10 seconds (depending on the Sig lvl), He reverses any health loss and tenacitys any debuffs that were put on him in the last 5-10 seconds

What do you think? If you watched "Dr Strange", you know that he used the eye of Agamotto to put Dormammu in a time loop to trap him.

P.S: KABAM COULD YOU PLEASE GIVE DR STRANGE THE COOL BLOCK MORDO AND DORMAMMU GET, CREATING A BIG CIRCULAR SHIELD? HE USES THAT IN THE MOVIE, SO WHY DOES HE ONLY USE HIS HANDS TO BLOCK IN THE GAME?

Dr. Strange was my most wanted champion when I started. I got lucky and pulled him then duped him on a special offer a month or so later. Bought the r5 package in January for him and used him for everything. He wasn't OP like SW and Thor. He took skill to play. I almost quit when they nerfed him. Took him down to r3 with the rdt and don't use him for anything now.
His power gain is worse than everyone in the game as he doesn't gain power from hitting or being hit. His regen is terrible. There's nothing redeeming about his current state.

DrZola

They should. The rationale for nerfing him was that he was overpowered. Not so anymore with the proliferation of heavy damage dealing champs and the incoming introduction of 6*'s.

What they did with him was, unfortunately, classic Kabam: milked him for money through his movie, claimed retroactively that he was unintentionally too powerful and then neutered him to the point of near uselessness.

mostlyharmlessn

They did fix him, not once, but twice so he is the awesome champ he is now.

I mean they intentionally sold crystals and held special Dr. Strange events, touted the bundles they sold as a way to get one of the most powerful champs the contest has. Once they made their money off of him, they realized they made a mistake and said hey... we gotta fix Dr. Strange.

gohard123

Dr Strange is working as intended

OhGodYes

They should at least give home 100% block proficiency when his shield thing is happening. It's garbage he now takes damage.

DrZola

@mostlyharmlessn you my friend are one of the few remaining bright spots on these forums

Dr. Zola

Captainnishant

I'm dying to see doctor strange in form of sorcerer supreme in game , he has low health and attack, hope kabam should grant him better power gain and let us choose his vishanti as we get to choose ammo of winter soldier. ...What you all say? ? ?

Thawnim

They will not fix him because in their minds he is not broken. He was altered once after the initial nerf was too severe. I cannot see them changing him anymore.

World Eater

Revising him again would mean they have to admit they made a mistake (again). Don't hold your breath.

Barry_Allen007

Would also like to see him return to defender status. He was my first R4, one of my favorite champs, and I have him at dupe level 80.

Armaganon00

Never, the like to take great champs and make them dust collecters.

Armaganon00

It all about creating a new champ as fast as possible.

To me, this remains a huge lie that Kabam told us. It was promised that the so-called god tier champs would remain top champs, albeit closer to the pack. This promise has never never been fulfilled with Strange. They made good on Thor after the boycott. I would argue that they haven't made good on SW, but at least it's debatable. But it was a flat out lie with regard to Strange and BW.

Instead they just creating hyperion with crazy power gain. Give DS his power gain back. This is outrageous!!!!!

I agree. He doesn't have to be a god. Just make him better than worthless. Improved life steal would be nice but heck increase ANYTHING - damage output, power gain, armor - ANYTHING! He's a swiss army knife of trash. He does NOTHING well. I took him to the last day of AQ just for nostalgia and he died on the first node thereby inspiring this thread.

It's just such a shame. He used to be so much fun to play. His power levels were in line with his status in the Marvel Universe. Now when you play him instead of focusing on fighting you're focused on "how long can I keep this dude alive?"

DD2

leave nurse strange alone! he's retired!

rwhack

This is one of those things when you are counting on integrity from Kabam you may as well be counting on the sun not to rise in the east. They are "looking into" pure skill. They are "looking into DS" to rebalance. They are "looking into" the AW they just broke.

That's a lot of looking. Looking is like trying, it's not really an act you can measure. In this case they are doing neither.

mattglobal

This is why I'm still on 11.x.

Sighsohard

There was no need to fix him. They've already said they aren't going to make a 5 or 6 start version of him Thor or SW.

With 5 stars and 6 stars coming why waste time fixing a 4*?

DaMunk

They could move him back to pre 12.0 and it wouldn't change the game. With the direction the game is headed into 5 and 6 stars a strong 4* wouldn't matter much to top level players. He wasn't OP like SW and Thor. They damn sure ruined him though.
