Revamp Outdated Champions!

NabiletyNabilety Member Posts: 54
Yesterday I pulled a 5-star Black Panther (Classic) as my 32nd 5-star champion. I was a little bitter that I did not get the excitement that I was looking for, being a huge Black Panther fan. It then occurred to me that he, like most other champions, simply is neglected. His L1 and L2 specials in his abilities, are described as, Strikes multiple times. Each hit has an additional X Critical Rating. Correct me if I am wrong, but most champions strikes multiple times. So, what differs from them and Black Panther - what exactly does Strikes multiple times signify in a game that keeps making harder and challenging content. To me it feels like unnecessary fillers, because back then the content was convenient enough - that is cool. But it can not be applied to newer content - and with newer content I mean story, events and overly utilized champions, such as Sentinel, Domino, M.O.D.O.K., etc.
Another example, when 5-stars first came out Iron Fist was one of the champions I obtained and ranked up, but today he is not being used - so it pretty much feels like waste of catalyst and space in my roster. I mean, it is no big news that some champions badly requires some revamping, but with 129 champions in total (correct me if I'm wrong), it feels very wrong that you have a bunch of older champion that shows no relevance to newer content, while simultaneously trying to maintain a balanced game.
I understand that such things takes time and effort to achieve - Rome was not built in a day. However, I think some of the priorities should be redirected for a while, such as new champions being added monthly. I believe that the game has reached a point, where we do not need to have a new champion that is a different version of another or some random / less required champion like M.O.D.O.K. added each month. Instead focus on revamping current (recent and older) champions that certainly needs an update, in-between the months.
The list below is just to show the amount of outdated champions, in my opinion:
  • Colossus
  • Deadpool (X-Force)
  • Iron Fist
  • Black Panther (Classic)
  • Iron Patriot
  • Kamala Khan
  • Juggernaut
  • Groot
  • Iron Man (Classic and Superior)
  • Carnage
  • Hulkbuster
  • Joe Fixit
  • Captain America (Classic)
  • Venom
  • Magneto (Classic and Marvel NOW!)
  • Falcon
  • She-Hulk
  • Ant-Man
In terms of what to change about the champions, I really do not think it is a big problem - google is your friend, lol. There is a ton of information about each champions that could be implemented for better or worse. Of course, the MCOC community can be part of remaking champions as well with polls and questionnairies.

    Even the good ones kinda require the same attention, lol - how is Ghost Rider not immune to Cold Snap and Incineration, but his head is on fire? :D

    DPX just needs a higher bleed on his awakened ability to be fine, really

    Yeah, it’s honestly been an interesting topic to talk about, prof hoff has a really good video series about (X) champion should be semi god tier at least, and all of them have good ideas, they should honestly take a month of a year, make it a random event quest, but with the characters that they’ve revamped, and make those the featured “new champs”
  • NabiletyNabilety Member Posts: 54
    Aye, good idea! I remember those Prof Hoff series - they were pretty good. Iron Patriot with flamethrowers, Colossus with Concussion and Indestructible Charges - some of these are just common sense need-to-have abilities.

    Hasn’t carnage been in the works since he came out? What a waste of a cool villain.

    I actually have a few posts out. Search posts with “Epsilon” in the title and you should pull up a few of my ideas

    (Sorry to hijack OP’s post a bit but I need the advertisement cause when I do the posting almost no one responds for a while then I get some traction and it dies without any real effect on the community enthusiasm for buffs)

    Abomination and Rhino need some love to.

    Anyway, I totally agree.

    Agreeing based off of the fact that the game just gets harder and harder, making the OG champs just seem irrelevant. There's a few that are extremely useable now. Star Lord, Scarlet Witch, OG Daredevil, Hulk, etc. But when they're releasing champs that can just override Parry, and Dexterity how good is a 5* Duped Iron Fist. I love Iron Fist. He's one of my favorite characters from the marvel universe. But if I tried to fight Iron Man IW with him, even at a matched PI, id go down without even being able to put up a fight.

    Thor Jane Foster, she's terrible and she's in the 6 star crystal. Like come on, she should be top priority. Pulling her out of a 6 star crystal makes people quit the game (no joke), she's that terrible.

    Agreed. We don’t need new Additions to the roster. We need to update the entire roster from the beginning. In the past 2 years that I have played, the game has changed so much. The original roster has such basic specials and synergies. The new guys have synergies that carry over to the next fight, work with 3+ champions. My 3* blackbolt is utterly useless. Even teamed up with his own wife!
    Kabam, please re-read your comic books. The movies didn’t do any justice to our hero’s and villains yet you base 90% of the new roster on movies.

    Very good points, I hope Kabam reads all of these comments, just to understand the game from a player's/summoner's/consumer's perspective.

    Gamora needs to be redone, especially if being offered in 6*
