It's not just the Limbo. It's the whole package. She's also capable of a Power loop that can prevent the Opponent from ever using a Special.
Debuffs shruggers. Power control immune champions. Debuff Immunity giving nodes.
You could say the same thing about Quake, or Herc, or every champ that’s ever been nerfed. The problem is if you allowed all of them to remain, that list gets very long and eventually all future content has to have a gigantic list of defusing abilities for all troublesome champs, which is ridiculous.
It is a kind of game design symmetry to say that every nerf has a contrapositive buff and vice versa. You can nerf a champ or you can buff everything else. You can change a troublesome champ or you can change everything else around it to neutralize its troublesome aspects. You can withhold a champ, or make sure it can’t use its strengths in the game. Problematic champs aren’t champs that can beat everything. They just have to beat enough easily enough that the devs have to spend the rest of the games’ existence constantly worried about them. At that point, you neutralize the source of the problem, you don’t invent hundreds of design rules to accommodate the problems you chose to ignore.
In a world of 7r3 champs (climbing toward 7r4) what does an ascended 6r5 Magik really trivialize?
It can’t be lane content in story mode, because that has already been scaled. It can’t be major bosses, because they have built-in immunities.
Even for individual matchups, there are so many skill champs with ability reduction, heal blockers, and science champs that it’s not a war or BG issue.
Then what's the point in releasing her as a 6* at all? Within a year when 7*r4s become more common 6* champs are all but dead and she's back to where she is now as a 5*, all but irrelevant.
Honestly the best thing kabam can do is just overhaul both their kits ala og ironman and re-release them as new champs. Some people will be unhappy about what will always a perceived nerf but at least it ends te endless cycle of asking for them.
They missed a trick not making them a part of the deathless champs. Could have solved the problem a bit
