Update Old Champs/Pause Release of New Champ

This is MP Blaze and I just wanted to get my thoughts down.
There’s been a lot of discussion about what’s causing burnout for Summoners that have finished Abyss and Act 6 and what keeps them from looking forward to Act 7. I think BG said it best where the first core issue that needs to be addressed is Champion Balance.
There’s a small percent of champs that can clear almost anything and it’s the grind/hope of rolling these champs that burns people out or puts someone in a position where they have resources after clearing content and can’t do anything with them because they’re waiting to roll them.
My suggestion is that older champions are buffed to the point where about 50% of the overall roster is actually useful. This buff will help reduce the overall grind by presenting more options to clear content.
How to do this the best way would be to pause the EQs and side quest for new champs and create new ones for 2 old champs per month where the side quests feature potential buff ideas. Maybe it’s the side quest that presents new buff ideas each week and ask for feedback when each week ends. Award every summoner the featured champs as a 5* rarity and give out rank/awakening materials specific to them to max the champion out. When the Event ends, take back what was given kinda like the Symbiote event one year. The events still give out rewards for completion/exploration. Heck, give out rewards for feedback as well, lol.
My opinion is that this process will be quicker than the current one where we vote in which champ to buff, go through a beta, give feedback, then wait for the release.
