What are the chances of Infamous Ironman being nerfed?

Ceder

After watching the deep dive today I can already tell he's gonna be nuts, amazing synergies, amazing duped ability, just amazing overall, I was thinking of saving my 6* shards but I'm not sure if it'll be worth it if he gets nerfed, anyone have some thoughts

Is your strategy then to only go for bad champs since they are less likely to be nerfed?

Go for bad champs since they’re more likely to be buffed

no. there more likely to get buffed so I think he should explore abyss and choose a mutant abyss crystal and choose cyclops.

Try for good champs but secretly hope for bad champs to increase your chances 🤫

I assume that the chance of a nerf, based on what we saw in the deep dive, is absolutely 0%. Not a single chance. Why? Because those are the numbers that Kabam themselves are putting forward as representative of their new champion. It makes absolutely zero sense to tweak a champion's numbers to a number you know is too high, only to then go in and nerf him after people have gotten their hands on him.

There is a chance he'll get nerfed if he's vastly outperforming Kabam's expected numbers. If he is even better than he was in the deep dive. But if he's "just" as good as he is in their own video about him? No, I can't imagine that would be a reason for them to nerf him.

So let's all just take a chill pill and see how good he actually is in the game before we worry about whether he'll end up getting tuned up or down or sideways.

All that people will need to do is to not use the champion for the first couple of months.

If champions is not used, then is must be underperforming, and will get buffed. After that is okay to be used.

I'd say there is no chance he gets nerfed yet. He hasn't even made it to the game. But after that, it's 50/50 for any champ. 🤷‍♂️

I mean his ridiculous damage seems like against Bishop and very few others...so no

I'd like to think that players like DDDave and Karate Mike and other insiders are able to wring top performance out of a champ even with limited contact and know how to demonstrate a solid performance profile to Kabam. If they think it's too much/not enough/too limited/too broad, they for sure will say something. But will Kabam listen to their opinions and make the perfect changes so that a plurality of players think the champ is just right? Doubtful. I'm certain that they try (obviously no one wants to suck at their job), but have other considerations besides making us happy about every champ (Nova could be the exception, though! That heavy cries out to proc something spicy like Cruelties! #JusticeForNova) that they release.
Ultimately, I doubt he'll get nerfed. He didn't look that OP to me, but we'll all have to wait and see. It's Kabam's world and we just play in it.

Jesus, he's not even out yet.

Nothing wrong in creating your fantasy unless u really start believing it

Ercarret I might be wrong but wasn't CGR nerfed only a couple of days after his deep dive... not saying IIM is being nerfed, just saying.

It’s not the nerf, who mentioned iron will end up being a released champ, you may see a curve ball n see three new champs in the September quests. (2 being released)

He’s just too OP for kabam give people a chance to get him potentially by only spending 300 units if you 1 shot it.

We shall wait n see good luck hunting when released (IF)

Ceder

Damn I just asked a question, but I'm going for him either way now that I know his prestige is nuts

Rookiie

Chances are 0 now that he’s the new prestige king

Meh, he will be bugged someway or another or something. It’s the cycle

mbrace

I don’t know, but I just read his abilities and like them. He’s going to be good.
