Rank down tickets for Zemo and Kraven…

If they wanted to they could make the AI just behave normal and make it throw specials which it does not. You can clearly observe that I'm the videos if rooted AI put out by kabam themselves. They do not even 'try' to use specials which will for sure take it out of root.
And now after the 'fix' they even have special lock icon for the AI when rooted. So why would kabam say throw specials to break root and then special lock!
They didn't say that was how to do it. That's conjecture.
My only concern was that you claimed that you have yet to see a valid argument against doing so, and I took issue with that. There are plenty of valid arguments on both sides.
Do “try” and go and use these champs in their current form and then compare that to the marketing materials.
Then please “try” and find a wide spread and clear statement from Kabam that this was communicated as a bug to the player base.
Then I’d love to hear you “try” again to defend this perspective.
And the issue is more similar to the She Hulk maneuver from a few years back. But if you want to use Mole Man that works too, Kabam understood rank down tickets were 100% justified in that instance as well.
The Moleman situation was spawned of one decision they made and eventually went back on publicly. This situation is a silent nerf by definition that was caused by many bad decisions on every single level. Character design, programming, ability descriptions, community transparency, every single thing they could've done to fix this over 19 months was simply not done.
2. Fixing this bug does not break Zemo. It only removes an unintended functionality. Zemo is still a very good champion without the indefinite special lock mechanic. As KarateMike said the other day, "if you're playing zemo with the infinite root strategy you're playing him wrong."
3. Just like they did with issuing Mole Man rdts, issuing rdts for this situation sets a dangerous precedent for future bug fixes. The next time there's a bug fix that affects a very small percentage of the player base, those players are going to demand rdts as well, and before you know it rdts will become a regular occurrence. This was a valid argument against the Mole Man rdts as well.
Because they issued the rdts for Mole Man, there's a precedent for issuing rdts for Zemo and Kraven in a similar situation that I think Kabam would be mistaken to overlook. However, there are still valid arguments against it.
I don't support the request for RDTs.
2. It's not about the quality of the champion
3. Correct, and if a situation like this happens again, RDT's will again be warranted. Kabam can take that as inspiration to not make these mistakes a second time.
I would highly recommend anyone who isn't fully aware to read through this thread. It's a very complex issue that hasn't been fully broken down in KT1 or Prof Hoff's videos, which is where I imagine a lot of these views are coming from.
I'm helping you tho, but BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, you're not too far.
And for others, this is the same person who argued against RDTs unsuccessfully in the MoleMan scenario, so while they are entitled to their opinions, track record on this isn’t so good either.
I've made my points. At this point, it's devolving. Good luck.
But where are the CCP members in this?
1.The ability section never mentioned special locks. They added that to the root mechanic which has now impacted multiple champs that have root as their core mechanic.
2. Zemo isn't useless now, he needs to be played differently. He is now much more of a matchup champ than he used to be.
3. They should take some time to test champs and their core mechanic interactions prior to release. If they miss something, the CCPs hopefully catch it. If that doesn't happen, then they should catch it by the time of their rebalance. If they still don't catch it, then no changes to the mechanic or character should occur. What's the purpose of data over 6 months if it doesn't prevent these issues from happening?
One place where I disagree is that I don't think most people need to play Zemo differently. I think most people already play him without the indefinite root strategy and are more than satisfied with him.
