Mystic dispersion

Hi kabam. I've started playing this game in may 2015 ( before the willpower nerf). I'm a free to pay player. First of all I have to say I love this game so much. When I joined, willpower made me hate this game a bit and also the block proficiency teams. I always thought that this game is biased to specific champs but you guys really did a great job with the nerf. I was very happy and welcomed your changes. It shows that people at kabam are making the game shift more towards skills. I'm also really happy with fixing of double evade, spider evade bugs, and other champ nerfs and buffs. Before it was like, when I have a duped scarlet witch, u can achieve anything in this game. But that's not the case now. SW is good but some champs like mordo,civil war bp, etc keep her in check and it made the game more challenging. That was nice. Almost 90% of the champs are equally good with the willpower and block proficiency nerfs. Limber also made some champs usable in every form of the game. There is still room for more improvement but the game has been improving very fast. And I feel kabam is listening to it's players and making changes accordingly. And for that I even love this game more.
Having said all these, i would like to raise a serious issue nowadays. If u ask anyone one in this game, what's the best class in this game?? The answer is MYSTIC. And the reason is purely because of MYSTIC DISPERSION. Don't get me wrong but even without mystic dispersion, mystic champs are still the best. With one of the best passives in the game ie Nullify (among others) they easily are more powerful attackers in the game. I would like to separate Mystic dispersion under two categories i.e. Offensive and defensive.
Let's talk about the least problematic and something that can be easily adjusted to i.e. mystic dispersion for attackers. I think everyone agrees on the fact that we can do almost well without making use of mystic dispersion for attack. While it does allow you to gain power like other classes, it still has nullify, power drain, power lock etc. For those who don't agree that mystic champs are seriously unplayable without mystic dispersion please read the full post as I have another solution below.
And now for the main part, mystic defenders. it can be abused in various ways. All the complaints to nerf magik nowadays, why do you think is that??? I believe magik is a great champ and it's a good thing she got buffed. But it's because of mystic dispersion that makes her unplayable. Or let's just say it does depends more on luck (on whether her limbo will trigger or not). But seeing the changes made to this game to move towards skills, it is highly depending on luck. A good example is baiting specials. U can't guarantee to bait a special. U can do it in a few tries but by that time mystic champs already get 1 bar of power (maxed MD). It's just so unfair. There are more and more champs coming that have power drain, stagger and other ability accuracy traits that counter her limbo but without mystic dispersion, u can use more variety of champs to fight her. That's what is the key to balancing the game. Rather than making it more dependable on summoners go in search for a specific champ that is used to counter magik, we can have more options in hand other than one.
Even if u have heavily invested sig stones and levelling of MAGIK, u can still use her because she's one of the best atackers in the game. Magik's not the only problem. Other champs like Juggs, UC, and other good defenders in the game have unstoppable which is great than many other defensive abilities. And with mystic dispersion it feels like defender champs from other classes are almost useless even though they are good. Imagine that there is a mastery called "science dispersion". Then if evading gives power, then it's class defenders become the best. Juggs will only be a mediocre defender. Masteries are good to have but please don't use masteries that abuse power gain. Please KABAM. This is one of the problems that should've been corrected way back. No other class specific mastery comes close to mystic dispersion. The science one, or pure skill, or tech one???? I don't even know their full names because even though they provide a notable difference to their specific class, they are still **** compared to what mystic dispersion does. So kabam please consider this.
Next I would like to say that by removing mystic dispersion, the game (aw) will become more challenging. Let me tell you how. Bu doing so, mystic defenders will still be good or on par with other class defenders (which is balanced) and people will find it a bit easier and then the winning usually is determined by exploration( assuming u are fighting a similar rated ally and all three bgs take the bosses down). It also become more focussed on how well u play making even one or two defender kills marking the victory rather than the team winning just because they have a duped magik as main boss. It makes it more competitive bringing the victory depend more on defender/attacker kills and not on the battle group clears ( assuming each of them have same battle group clears). It also manages u to organise in such a way that all the nodes are covered by the ally members.
And lastly for those u don't agree with removing mystic dispersion. I told that there's another way. That is to remove critical chance buff when performing dexterity. It basically doesn't give u any crit buffs when u evade. This is a very good alternative if u want to keep it although buffs by other means still activated mystic dispersion.
Look at the new aq boss.. Dormammu. Why is he not duped like venom or kang. It's because it will be unplayable without evading, why create signature abilities that mess with evading in the first place ???? A money grab??? Dormammu is the future aq boss people will go for. Same like magik, that u die just because u evade. There are other champs who inflict damage even though u don't get hit, like, electro, iceman,etc but it's either not the deciding factor (like iceman who only deains health at the beginning of a fight or electro who's ability can be bypassed) but please don't mess with evade.
You guys knew it would create a big problem if u had duped Dormammu as the aq boss. It's a clever move but it's not right. If u don't believe me kabam, please test by putting duped Dormammu as aq boss for a week and see what people say.
CONCLUSION: kabam. Please nerf mystic dispersion or atleast remove the crit buff from dexterity. It's one of those factors that's causing a huge imbalance in the game, making people complain about certain champs nerfs but it's actually mystic dispersion that is causing this problem. Leave the champs alone. Don't nerf them. Instead nerf Mystic dispersion.
I hope many people read this and tel your views. Thank you.

Mate, when you dash back you feed magik, do you play this game ? Buff or non buff champs!
Nothing is going to change, so we may as well stop trying, Kabam don't want to actually have a Balanced Contest when it means less $$ in their pocket, so they are never going address the issue with dexterity & MD.
As many people have outlined you will need to adapt your fighting style. The Answer to MD defense is to bring MD Magik into your offensive team, or other power control champs.
I have played in Tier 1 AW for as long as I can remember, and can soloed 4/55 Magik or Dormammu Boss by using either GwenPool or Magik in the attack team. The unfortunate situation is 95% of the player base are unable to do this either they haven't learnt the skill to do this or they don't hold those specific champs, and so Kabam keeps on banking your $$$ spend on units for heals
oh please prove me wrong and comment on this thread @Kabam Wolf @Kabam Iko @Kabam Spice @Kabam Loto (the only Mods I can tag)
Will removing Dex affect urs? U guys keep lying about wanting diversity yet only seem to want things easier
People bitched
I don't use MD r dex my master's suck
Mystic Dispersion is not broken. Learn to adapt to it.
Nobody is going to read that.
