Kabam, what are you doing?
Who's excited for a random player who nobody cares about giving their opinion that kabam won't read?
This is a mess, just nerf Dark Phoenix, like yeah some people will be upset, but at the end of the day, if it's game health you care about, you should nerf her. People who spent money on dark phoenix will understand and people who got dark phoenix knew there was a chance of her getting nerfed as they did with spider-woman.
To be completely honest, it is partially the community's fault for being absolutely insane and saying some of the most insane things and dumbest points ever when it comes to the spider-woman 'buff' that they bullied kabam so much that kabam actually made spider-woman better on attack as her evade counter can't be purified or cleansed and her ensnare doesn't ruin her against thing's rock stacks or onslaught's reverse controls. The community is a big part of the game and ultimately have power but kabam shouldn't just fold as soon as they get community backlash. Honestly the spider-woman controversy would've been better if kabam came out and said that she's too strong on attack instead of just implying it in the post. People would've been upset regardless but they knew the risks and their points are so bad that it's genuinely just annoying. Like bringing up serpent and kate is just whataboutism 101 and just because they should've been nerfed, doesn't mean spider-woman shouldn't be nerfed.
Anyways the point of this post I guess is hoping Kabam don't do this and hope the community stop being insane. The rebalance program has been honestly not great. There were many issues with it, it failed so many champs like sandman, adam warlock, etc. Do you guys remember that adam warlock was meant to be a defender? Yeah what a tough defender adam is. But shuri's buff was great, attuma's buff was great. Abs man's nerf was great. The rebalance program was flawed and I think a reworked rebalance program could be great. I think getting community feedback could be helpful. Obviously kabam shouldn't just do what the community says because that's a terrible idea, but when the adaptive event quest drops and people immediately realise what's wrong with it, that's not a good thing. Kabam listened to us then and whilst characters are completely different, I think hearing what the community have to say can be helpful. I also would say that they should take longer to review champs as some champs most people don't get until the next titan so it's hard to see their performance. The community also needs to give kabam more grace, you can be upset and annoyed without being stupid and without saying insane things.
When I saw the spider-woman rebalance I was happy because kabam realised she was a problem and was going to deal with it and when the community got mad and kabam actually buffed her I was annoyed because everyone was being disingenuous and kabam were being scared. I just want that to change. Obviously I want spider-woman to be changed, I personally think she is a poorly designed champion where 90% of her abilities are just there to ruin enchantress to the point where she has an almost useless power steal immunity. The fact that she has 6 debilitates also feels lazy. But I would gladly make spider-woman overpowered if the community can actually start being fair to kabam and kabam listen and make the right changes to the game. This was probably just a dumb post that nobody's gonna read, I'm kinda just rambling but I'm just so annoyed at most people and think the past few months have been awful when it comes to kabam and the community
