Prof X fix (nerf)

With the new update, Prof X won't continue to gain channelling charges when striker canceling from a heavy.

I do think this is a shame as it allows him to ramp slightly quicker and has made him somewhat viable in some past battleground metas etc. I know he wasn't designed with this intention, but I don't feel it made him broken or overpowered in any way, it was just a unique relic interaction that made the character more fun to use imo. I had figured the devs agreed as this bug had been in the game for so long. But now to remove it at this point feels like a nerf to the character.

Bit sad as he's one of my favourite characters but probably won't be taking mine up to rank 3 anytime soon now.

We all knew this was a bug. It was also officially acknowledged and we knew a fix was coming sometime

I enjoyed that interaction so much, made him so more easier to play

I'm not saying it wasn't a bug or kabam are unjustified in any way. I'm acknowledging the fix and moreso voicing my remorse that one of my favourite characters will be less viable in some instances after becoming accustomed to utilizing this bug for the past 18 months.

But he didn't say silent.

Bugs are meant to be fixed so it was coming sooner or later

It is a nerf but it isn't anything like the Mole Man or Namor nerf we've had before.

At least the word was right no silence. Involves.

You know this bug had been around since relics were a thing? So it would be around 1.5 years old

That's just nonsense.

Some bugs are harder to fix than others; some may be prioritised differently.

Here's a bug that hurts the player:

Here's the fix, announced three days later:

I realise you're unhappy about the Galan bug; but just throwing groundless accusations around isn't helpful.

Mole man- At least 1.5 years
Shocker- Since he was released so at least months
She Hulk- years
Barron Zemo- a long time

Why do you continue to spread that lie that "pro player bugs" get fixed faster? You're literally commenting on a thread where a bug that benefited players for over a year.

Its so people can call silent nerfs to things

I do understand that it was definitely an unintended interaction, but it made him feel so much faster to ramp. Oh well I guess.

And now I probably won't use prof x anymore

It was a bug. Don't call it a nerf.
