Upcoming Champion Buffs

Question regarding future buffs/reworks:

Kabam, are you still planning on adjusting champions individually or are you using synergies to enhance characters?
I ask this after seeing 2 recent examples of this: Black Bolt and Loki. I am sure we can all agree that both champs need buffs but with the "Inhuman Royal Family" synergy, BB has essentially been buffed because of this synergy. If it was just him, I would overlook it, but when Thor's (Ragnarok) "Like Old Days" synergy has buffed Loki, I became suspicious.

So is this the new trend? If so I am against it, unless you incorporate these synergies between 2 older characters. The way it is now, you will not experience Loki's buff unless you are lucky enough to pull a new Thor. This makes it virtually impossible for most players to experience buffs BUT if an individual buff or re-work is performed, everyone benefits...except for maybe Kabam. But really who would go after Thor to buff Loki or Medusa for BB?

Bottom line, I like unique synergies, but all the older characters need to be buffed on an individual level, rather than thru synergies with brand new characters.

Thoughts?

I am kinda wondering if some of the buffs from the Mephesto event aren't being tested as potential additions to skill..

So maybe testing for mastery additions or additional future champ buffs or purchasable boosts...

Quite possibly, but you would hope they would have learned that buffs like that to Hulk and Winter Solider went over quite well, and both play a lot better now. I would love to see more buffs like these to the older champs.

Great question! I will add that the 3* Thor R only has the Loki synergy. That is the only synergy he has - weird, so I cannot try the Hulk synergy.

This should reinforce the OPs thoughts...if a 3* does not have the same synergies, we cannot rely solely on synergy buffs as a way to fix bad characters.

I posted on this the other day. This needs to be priority. I don’t care how many at a time, champs need buffed and utility! Additions to heavy attacks, immunities to shock, etc. They need worth! There has never been an OP champ! Just underpowered ones. Look at Dr Strange. My god man. This should be top priority along with new content....before the game dies

Follow the money then you will understand.

Wanna experience Loki's buff? Spend money, get units, buy crystals, get Thor (Ragnarok).

Any other way that doesn't involve players spending money is not worth Kabam's consideration.

The better champs are the better they will be for defence.

=more kills = more revives
Also = a happier player base who can CHOOSE what champs they want to fight with.
