Rebalanced Northstar is Critically Bugged

After the update, Northstar does no reverb damage. His red numbers are just fully gone. Obviously a bug (no silent nerf talk here), but in his current state he’s fully useless. Hopefully this can be rectified quickly.

Neither he nor Arcade were even listed in the update notes. So maybe?

Wolf911

Just tried him and can confirm that his reverb red damage is gone

@KabamDORK @Pikolu @SummonerNR please report it

No they have updated kits with northstar having max 6 momentum instead of 10 also prowess potency increased from 9% to 12% and max stacks decreased from 40 to 30

Wicket329

His update went live. Momentum is capped at six instead of ten and his stun functionality has been removed, which is what Kabam said they were gonna do. I don’t know Arcade’s kit as well, so I can’t speak to that, but Northstar has definitely been changed.

so the rebalance was to nerf him Ig, cuz he is too OP

Northstar is actually nerfed his stun is gone, his slow is now of lesser duration, he gains less prowess per special. Nothing they did to him seems meaningful.

North Star = the Superior Banquet Crystal of 2024 champs.

He gains less prowess but they are off higher potency. The stun was overpowered.

At max ramp he was already very strong, they made it so that you reach that ramp much quicker. It's a great buff beyond the current reverb bug

Wicket329

I’m withholding any judgment until the reverb bug is addressed. Did the slow off the sp1 get shortened as a result of the drop in momentum cap?

Harryatomix

It took my r4a 2:30 mins to finish rol ws, this buff made him much worse.

Wicket329

That’s because of the bug that is the subject of this thread. His red numbers are gone for the moment, so any testing will be wrong.

Average_Desi

Cause he's bugged lol

Harryatomix

Yes his slow is shortened, his reinforce is shortened, his speed burst takes longer to come back. His prowess maintenance is more difficult now.

Harryatomix

What? I didn’t notice that actually. What a way to buff a champ, release him bugged. So what now we should wait for one more month for them to fix it?

Jethua

His pauses are also not working as intended and are not pausing properly on critical hits.

JLordVileJ

It depends how hard the bug is to fix. If it is as simple as metaphorically flipping a switch they will fix it ASAP, but if they have to rewrite all of his code or smth next month likely

Wicket329

Yeah, there are certain kinds of changes that can be done via hotfix (meaning no update on our end necessary), and others that require an update. Hopefully this one can be hotfixed.

captain_rogers

If it's game breaking, like that prowler bug that allowed a 3* to solo necro fights, it'll get fixed soon. Simple ones are fixed on monthly patches

Kabam (Osaurus) Rex

Hey folks, we have our eyes on this one already and are working on a Hotfix that will address this issue along with others, hoping to get it out very soon!

Wolf911

this time there are a lot more bugs than usual

they need to patch it before new content drops ( but i doubt this will happen )

EdisonLaw

Kabam how do you do it.. just tell us how? Don't keep secrets..
