A hypothetical scenario:

Currently, of the champions in the basic pool, the only ones not released as 6* are Quake, Magik, and Wolverine.
It's not hard to imagine why. With the Adrenaline mechanic, the health boost, and features like Horseman, it's hard not to imagine Wolverine as a machine of destruction. He might not be among the best in the game in Endgame, but he would be a wreck in beginner/intermediate hands.
Quake and Magik are a different case. Even today, at the AW Master level it is not uncommon to see 5 star Quake and Magik in the AW. Is not for nothing. In different ways, they break game mechanics. To disable them in AW and BG, the only solution is ban. There are other ways to stop them with nodes, but it would also make many other champions unfeasible, they are two problematic champions, without considering the potential as a defender that Magik would have in BG for example, it would be a nightmare as big as domino.
However, they are also two popular champions. Magik for example is one of my favorites in the game.
The purpose of the topic is: If a reduction in numbers were made, keeping the kit and gameplay exactly as they are, but with balances in base attributes, maybe gain less attack, less life, in exchange for keeping what they already do and being available as 6 star, would you accept it?

I think we will see both Magik and Wolverine eventually. Neither seem nearly as broken with the power creep of new champions. Quake is interesting. She's not broken for a lot of the player base but for the few that have her completely mastered, she kinda ruins the game a bit from a design space perspective. When the devs don't want quake to be an option, they have to often add a hard counter node and it just ruins a ton of other champions which has it's own negatives.

Wait, so you want them to be nerfed so we can have them as 6*s? Imo, that kind of defeats the purpose of making them available as 6*s in the first place.

I can see kabam adding wolverine as a 6* eventually to the game, maybe after 7*s are out, and the only change to magik I would like to see is that she doesn't activate limbo with weakness/petrify on her so certain science champions are a good counter to her.

She's beautiful in that red lava. No ??
