After attending NYCC event I learned that Carnage was super overpowered before his release. He was then nerfed the week before.....why was he nerfed soo badly though? Could've gotten a little tweak but instead he's nearly worthless in my opinion....so Why such an extreme nerf from OP to Not useful?

They probably didn’t want people crying on the forums like they did with dr.strange
Technically this is, if what the OP said was factual and carnage could've potentially been a really good cosmic, and they chose to completely kill any of the "god tier" abilities he could have had almost right before his release....than that's a technical nerf.
But like exwhatever said, he'll probably be buffed in the future.
The person I talked to (Kabam developer) specifically said he was nerfed before his launch, and was nerfed too much.
SO I'M PRETTY SURE NERF is the correct term lol.
But hey you were there so you know better than me........
Technically, a Champ has to be playable to consider it a nerf. Otherwise it's revisions to the design before the release.
Why do I need to watch a video when I was told in person????
They can design a champ and realize before its release it is to powerful and nerf it. A champ doesn't have to be added to be nerfed. It can be nerfed multiple times during the design process
You asked why he was nerfed. Just saying, he asked also and got a good answer
A nerf is significant changes to an existing Champ. It's really semantics, but the point is this happens quite often before the Champ is actually released. If it's still in the stages of being finalized, it's not really a nerf.
Technically even when you're wrong you're right is what you're saying. JHC
I'm making a distinction. When a Champ is still being finalized, according to the intended outcome, and it hasn't been released yet, that's not a nerf. It's still being designed. A nerf is a major change to a Champ that exists. If their intentions for a Champ change, that's still revising. It's an important disticntion to make because this is a window into the process of making a Champ, and not a nerf to a Champ that is already playable. While the information was shared, it was not the same as implying they nerfed him. He wasn't even released yet.
Again you are creating your own definition. He was NERFED before his release. Kabams words not mine. Are you saying Kabam is wrong? That would go against all your posts ever.....
Nerf = downgrade or make changes to in order to weaken, or whatever term you want to come up with. You're changing the meaning of nerf and that it can't even be used for something until its released.
Thanks for hijacking the thread lol.
Changed could mean downgraded, upgraded, balanced. They had to weaken him, so nerfed is the term
Winner
I was about to say the same thing pretty much "typical of you to make the thread about you and off topic"
Sorry I fell into the trap. Some people don't catch on to well. Moving on now
No, it is just a matter of arguing for the sake of arguing.
There is a difference because that is not the same as nerfs that are commonly referred to here. When a Champ is still being finalized, that's a part of their design process. It's not a nerf. I'm making the distinction because the term was used loosely, and inevitably Nerf Posts will follow. The reality is, many changes are made in the design phase. Which is why they rarely talk about them. Questions about their processes follow.
Oh, so they nerfed him right?
Nerf still means nerf regardless of how its been mentioned in other threads. There was never another thread to talk about changes of a champ before its release for you to even make that comparison or come up with your own conclusions.
Nerf can happen before and after release. No matter how you want to try and turn it, you're wrong. As usual, others are disagreeing with you as well, they have common sense. If they can't change your mind and you can't change yours then simply move on and quit destroying threads.
