    I don’t think anything in this update is working as intended. No inventory cap increase, when you use an energy refill it still stops at 70, not seeing any damage increase when hitting a stunned opponent with jane

    I think you may be right. I checked KG and his description is still not correct.

    Correction: I'm just dumb and he does work right again

    I used KG in AQ and he was back to normal, but I didn’t check his description. If yours is wrong still, try turning your device off and on. I did that to get the new catalyst capacity and I used KG after that point.

    Yeah he works correctly but the description still says he gets one fury rather than the 3 he starts with

    The thing is if the description is not corrected.. kabam could go with champion is not working as intended bas on their description.. I run my King Groot with Man-thing and iBom in AQ.

    btw, is Sasquatch good undupe or he really needs dupe. Thanks

    Thor Jane Foster is better than previous version but still not middle of the pack level.. the 21% chance stun rng is not dependable unlike other stun-lock champions.. her shock does barely much damage.. maybe another buff would help her like what Gamora got.. 3x the charm.

    Can someone explain to me how this is supposed to be an improvement?

    It looks like her stuns don’t active when the opponent has a passive shock (after her l3), only when she has her regular shocks. Is that intended?

    I thought that kabam never made other buffs like 2021, just because many of this buffs were better than new champs released in that year. We had a great list of buffed champs in 2021 that were trash and now are 1st option to rank 4.

    Last good buff was Storm, & before that I don't even remember which champion got a good buff.....may be Joe Fixit
    And by good I mean champs that a substantial number of players rankup & use in meaningful content
    Not some buff that some minority likes bcoz the champion is "fun"

    Kabam please. Pleaaaaaaasssssseee. Hear us out on this one.
    Thor Jane foster neede a rework. This regular buff does nothing for her it's like a 5% upgrade.
    Please look into the constructive feedback on her buff.
    I know you guys have a lot on your plate. Take your time but please don't rush these buffs ...
    Not like this.
    Thank you.
    I own a 6* sig 100 jane foster. Give meaning to her life.

    Even psychoman is better than her

    She’s ok, she’s definitely better against cosmic champions. Sp2 shock can be paused for 7 seconds, if you nullify/stagger a buff while it’s active. Making it easier to continue stun chains as well as, stack shocks, Especially if you have mystic dispersion. I think she just needs a better critical damage bonus while stunned. Or give a damage bonus when the opponent is shocked instead. She was great against Gorr.

    Agreed

    I've had a 5* Jane for a long time with her ability awakened (low singularity) and at rank 2. I've been testing her these days and, honestly, I haven't noticed her improvement anywhere. In fact, if I didn't read that she's been 'improved', I wouldn't have noticed at all. No appreciable changes are seen in her visuals or movements, nor are there any appreciable changes in her mechanics. The only real use of her remains for fighting bonus enemies, but her attack power is so small that fights are still excruciatingly long. In short: the biggest disappointment this year. I feel sorry for those who, out of her enthusiasm, used an awakening gem on her or made her rank 5 out of 53 (or rank 3 out of 6*).

    Given the general disappointment of the community, I think Kabam should reflect and make it more useful. I propose, for example, that whenever she nullifies an enemy bonus she gains temporary fury (which would improve her attack), as well as the ability to deal a larger shock after holding the block (similar to Nebula). She should also have a change in her heavy attack so she doesn't miss as much, possibly like Daredevil HK, starting with a forward move, 2-3 medium hits and ending with that wonderful uppercut. All of this would be a noticeable change that would not change game balance and would be more fair to this champion.

    I honestly don’t see the problem with Magneto-Esque buffs. I want all of my champions to be awesome, and with them all being varying levels of awesomeness a level of equality will come to the pool. After all the defenders will become harder after a fashion if the defender is a better champion.

    Jane sucked then and sucks now, was hoping for a buff for Antman and Groot but as far as buffing goes, 2022 has been a let down

    I think the Kabam intern made a mistake in the disclosure. Jane suffered a nerf and not a buff. Lol

    What concerns me the most is that at this point we’ve had multiple consecutive months of disappointing buffs that, for the most part, have made little to no significant changes. Personally, I’d like to see this overall decrease in quality addressed by the team, and whether or not their goals for the program have changed eternally. For quite a while, I eagerly awaited finding out who was being buffed each month, as the program had a lot of success stories. It’s sad that it’s come to a point where each month I dread the buffs as I know they are going to be most likely disappointing.
