Just flat out nerfing KP is not the answer. It’s been addressed many time’s over in this thread already.
Kabam has their back against the wall with this one. If KP is nerfed I think it may be the final straw for a lot of summoners. A lot of cash, time and units were spent to acquire this champion. This was all based on her abilities. And I feel this time sending was crystals to compensate isn’t going to cover it.
Brilliant news, true focus is going. Cheese will no longer be in AW and no nerf needed.
The “Nerf Kitty” Apocalypse is over!
I'm just happy true focus is finally gone
Also find it funny how people were trying to convince themselves true focus wasn't meant for quake and ghost when this is what's said after getting rid of it.
"That’s right, Summoners! Dust off your Quakes and your Ghosts"
I always love how it’s unintended even though the new champion counters the nodes you just released to nerf other characters. Anyone who read Kitty’s abilities could have told you true focus would make her bonkers. I think most people at Kabam don’t even know their own game.
They even said it in the comments of her deep dive i believe that people asked about true focus and they said look at the sig they clearly knew it was to counter the node

Very fair point. I think the only possible explanation is that Kabam just didn’t put two and two together that Kitty can cheese true focus and there is true focus all over AW.

But even that seems flimsy.
They definitely put two and two together. They just didn't care until it was apparent the playerbase had a problem with it. Not noticing this interaction is such a big oversight I don't think even kabam could have missed it.

She aint being nerfed there just changing wars for a couple season for bans yet even though they knew it was gonna be a cheese option when they said how it interacts with whats been on war mini island for a while

So why is this thread so big? No nerfs and we move on?

Sorry. What am I missing?
I wrote this yesterday saying Kitty shouldn’t be nerfed, true focus should be removed before the announcement that true focus was going to be removed.
I wrote it on the back of a few you tubers and a few people in line chats were saying she should be nerfed.
Obviously it’s all sorted now, Kitty won’t be nerfed. But that’s why the thread got quite a lot of views, most were before the announcement

Thanks. Makes more sense now.
I feel like we deliberate things to try and prove points instead of closing the chapter and starting a new one. That makes more sense.
I'm just appalled by how they say that the true focus interaction is unintentionally powerful. How did they not test this out before releasing her on live servers?

This makes me think that the Champion Design Team actually does do plenty of testing, but the Content Design Team really only skims the notes they’re given. Based on the screenshots above, it’s obvious that *somebody* knew about this interaction and that the issue was a lack of communication, not a lack of testing.

I had thought about that, but I mean, Kabam Broccoli designed Kitty right. And he’s confirmed that he watches a lot of youtubers, meaning he has to have some idea about AW, having also played at a very high tier himself at one point.
He designed Kitty, but didn’t warn anyone that she would dominate the mode? I don’t believe that. I think they just thought it would be ok, and not many would mind. They have to have known how insane Kitty was going to be

There's really no way it slipped through the cracks, she was literally shown countering miss counters in her deep dive and the comments had plenty of responses from the official mcoc channel stating the bonus she'd get against miss counters and true focus in AW.
Do people really believe they specifically gave her the ability to cheese miss counters and somehow didn't intend for her to be used on the boss island where everyone counters miss?
I know people joke about how bad kabams testing is but they'd have to read her abilities with their eyes closed to miss this.

He did seem to imply he stopped AW at least a year ago - back when there was no true focus on the boss island. If the design team only tested her on true focus in some generic quest (like cav eq) and not in a proper AW scenario I can see how they might miss this, especially if they didnt try her out with power boosts etc.

Now every alliance will ban Ghost, Quake and Maw from the entire map.
Nope ...

True focus is being removed, Kitty stays the same
