She-Hulk:
She-Hulk had an unintended ability that had been in the game for more than a few months. It was brought to light that this ability could be used to deal with the Champion boss in 6.2.4, who has proven to be a roadblock for many players. Kabam decided to take action to fix the unintended interaction, initially without addressing the fact that many ranked She-Hulk up for this specific ability that had existed for months with no mention of it being a bug by Kabam. After some outrage from the community, Kabam decided to issue champ-specific rank down tickets to allow players to decide if She-Hulk is still worth the resources after the adjustment is made.
Morningstar and BWCV:

This current issue parallels the She-Hulk issue, even down to the piece of content that brought the unintended interaction to light. The hope is that Kabam will do not only the right thing, but the thing they have already set a precedent for when issues like this arise. If they intend to fix an unintended interaction in a champ that affects the champ in a negative manner, champ-specific rank down tickets should be issued.
I ranked Morningstar to 6* r2 over other options specifically to do the champion chapter of 6.2 100%. I didn’t know it was a bug. I don’t sit in the forums all day and scour it for whether something is a bug. I came across different guides that showed ways to get through the champion.
People might say “Morningstar has her other uses” but I specifically ranked her over other better options because she seemed perfect for that fight. MCOC has been moving towards needing specific champs for specific fights. I feel like 3 t5b and 7 t2a would have been better going onto my duped 6* Aegon.
I don’t know, maybe in game mail to played where there is a bug for something significant? I mean, unless you’re in the forums all the time, you may not know known it was a bug. People say “read their abilities” and I do read abilities. Still wasn’t aware it was a bug.
People post YouTube videos and show Morningstar as an amazing counter. They completed the content, I’m like “cool, guess I’ll go to r2 and do it as well” and now it’s changed
The contrast with flow, is Stark.
It's clearly just a way to grab more money.
Does the game team recognize the similarities between the She Hulk issue and this new MS/BWCV issue?

Compared to this image I took today there are zero changes
We have heard from the community and understand that many players may have specifically ranked
She-HulkMorningstar/BWCV for this gameplay mechanic without knowing that it was unintended. Since these rank up decisions require an investment of resources, we want to give players who have rankedShe-HulkMorningstar/BWCV the opportunity to evaluate the fix once it is live and make the decision if they would like to rankherthem down.We are working on the steps required to create She-Hulk specific Rank Down Tickets and gather a list of players impacted to provide this compensationthe mechanism for such Rank Down Tickets has already been developed.Again, if it applied to She-Hulk, it applies here.
No conspiracy theory here. Going piece by piece:
You say the She Hulk change affected not only the 6.2.6 fight, but many other fights. You also say that Morningstar is only affected in this fight. However, there are a number of places where this ability could be used to Morningstar's advantage. Aegis Heavy, Aegis Intercept, Prove Yourself, Luke Cage's signature abilities...these are all places where Morningstar's bug could have been used by players. The 6.2.6 Champion boss was the most notable instance, but it wasn't the only instance as you suggest. In this way, She Hulk and the MS/BWCV issue are the same.
You say people ranked up She-Hulk because this bugged ability was promoted on YouTube. If you look it up on YouTube, there are a number of widely-watched videos showcasing this very interaction for Morningstar and BWCV. Are you saying that no one in the community made a rank up decision based on these videos? There are those who have posted today who would tell you that isn't the case. In this way, She Hulk and the MS/BWCV issue are the same.
You say that She Hulk was never stated to be able to chain heavies and it was something the community discovered. However, She Hulk was not the only champ that had this ability and was able to do it for years. This was just taken as a natural interaction given its long-standing presence in the game. Many people used this ability for years and it was never considered a bug until after 6.2.6 Champion was released. How long have videos existed showing the interaction between MS/BWCV and the Champion? Many months, but as we just discussed, the interaction has been in the game as long as She-Hulk and the indestructible buff/passive have been in the game together, which is also years. How long do we need to give Kabam to chime in on whether something is a bug or not? In this way, She Hulk and the MS/BWCV issue are the same.
Again, I won't argue that this wasn't a bug. If it's a bug, it should be fixed. However, I assert that if it takes too long for a widely known bug to be addressed and a champion is adjusted/fixed downward as a result, Rank Down Tickets should be distributed to ensure that people are making rank up decisions based on Kabam's vision for how a Champion is supposed to perform and not how they erroneously were performing.
Where is the bug fix allowing Gulk to Regen from bane? He should.
Side note: MS is a fantastic rank 5 option with the 6.2 champion fight being a very very very very small sliver of why
Why does Morningstar's description need a bug fix, rather than a quick text change?
Why can't this just be ignored like Gulk and bane?
How about Kamala and her removing buffs that aren't in her description either?
Again, flow's description can be dragged into this as can multiple others.
Fixing Morningstar, while ignoring all the others, stinks.
