The most critical thing for the Miles Morales buff

Evade on block. Either get rid of it, make it so that he only evade in the event he would take a hit or at least when he evades he doesn't come back in the hit zone of the defender. The current mechanic makes him one of the least playable characters.
For a mechanic like this to exist, there needs to be a payoff that justifies it. There just isn't... the payoff is that he might evade unexpectedly and land right back into a combo to the face.
There would be no point buffing a champ that no one actually wants to play.
The fact that there is a synergy that prevents evade on block is tacit acknowledgement that it is a flawed mechanic.
Here's a perfect example of why it's a problem. Cavalier EQ. The science node is entirely reliant on a well-timed block to purify poison so you can get a fury. Guess who sucks at reliably getting a well timed block until his charges run out?
Icarus and a bunch of other nodes are reliant on getting a heavy off. You could heavy counter, but what's a generally safer method for getting a heavy? Parry stun into heavy. Who can't reliably parry?
Kabam, if you're listening... one thing... just one thing before you do anything to Miles is address his evade on block.

Firstly, Kabam has history of having some champs combined with nodes that have zero effect. e.g. Groot on unblockable SP2.
Secondly, when a champ gets reworked, sometimes the nodes that they're on in existing content also get a rework e.g. Crossbones. So this would be the reverse of that, they're planning ahead so that the node will already be in place for the reworked champ.
Regardless, will probably have 100% V7 before I even see the Miles rework.

And the Crossbones boss change was done end of September 2020.
Mags buffs were done August 2020 with a dev diary releasing buff schedule around the same time.
