Should the Champion's "Contest's Greatest Fighters" ability be updated?

In accordance with the meta? This ability grants the Champion increased ability accuracy (and I believe buff duration, but not sure) as well as reduces time between acquisitions of persistent charges. For the ability to activate, the opponent MUST be one of a few selected fighters deemed to be the "Greatest" at the Champion's introduction. However, with many recent and powerful new additions (ie. Nick Fury, Brie Larson, etc), this ability seems behind the times.

I would say no, but if he was my champ on defence it would prob be useful.
I’d just leave it be.
Simple answer, no it shouldn't. It doesnt make any sense to change/buff a champion by the wording of his ability. He has an ability against X champions (which is already a weird ability, but I'm not going to discuss that further), not an ability against the best champions in the game according to players or the designers.
People already got the hang of him, more or less. There is no need to change him now.
What I'm trying to say is that it's not a good idea, or a logical one, to have an inconsistent champion in the game with abilities that are constantly changing. You wouldn't want them to go ahead and like replacing Thing bleed immunity for poison immunity, Ghost cruelty buffs to armor up buffs, Corvus guaranteed critical-hits to non-guaranteed crits, etc etc. Or in this case, you wouldn't want an interaction between X and Y champions to be changed, just so it gets changed again, and again, and again, knowing it will never work consistently.
Besides, is just wording that really is not relevant to the ability.
The Champion has an ability that triggers specifically against certain champions, and not against literally the "best champions" in the contest.. It's a weird ability by it's own, but lets that be how it is now to avoid future "nerf threads" and "rank down tickets threads".
Again, the "Contest Greatest Fighter's" for The Champion ability is a specific list of champions. They ARE NOT the best champion's in the game (considered by the players or Kabam itself), and the ability isn't meant to be about that.
The Champion ability works for a specific list of champions. It could even include Iron Patriot or Kamala Khan there, and being considered two of the "Contest greatest fighter's" as well. It doesn't really matter that part of the wording, is irrelevant and isn't supposed to represent the best champions in the game, overall, for anything, without a doubt.
The problem here is people trying to include their personal opinions as obsolete facts, and taking advantage of how they see an ability works to propose a change with no laogical reason within the game standards. Just like many other abilities: it doesn't always trigger, but when it does it does this and that. Changing the trigger, or the ability itself would just lead to future caos.
I already provided examples above, and The Champion isn't anything different from them. Its a nerf, and a buff in some aspects, that no one asked for. If people like using him against Corvus, Blade, Magik etc, then how would they fell if that was changed for no real good reason? They ranked up a champion that no longer does what it used to do, and you probably know what happens here on the forums when someone gets "nerf" or changed that way
