Gambit and Falcon buff discussion

Post your hopes/predictions for the upcoming falcon and gambit buffs.

Personally think that Gambit''s buff will be better than falcons. Think he has a lot of potential to be god tier with some increased prowess, energy brust damage, higher crit damage, and higher block proficiency. But hoping falcons buff also makes him good

    i'm only interested in Gambit .. because he's my favorite Marvel cartoon character and i have a 6* version lol ... so i'm hoping he gets some crit increase, prowess increase ... maybe a new animation or something ... but honestly any bit of a buff to him will suffice.

    I highly doubt falcon is getting a prefight. They’re both getting an update which is a small abilities change and a numbers buff. The kit stays relatively the same. For him to get a prefight that benefits teammates would most likely need a rework which falcon is not getting.

    Hope that gambits awakened ability also gave him a lot higher critical rating, prowess potency, and critical damage rating during specials so I can drop my mutant ag into him

    I have a 6 star gambit and a 5 star falcon so hopefully I'll have two more god tier champs by the start of next month
    As for gambit, I really hope they remove that hold block for kinetic charges sort of concept, I absolutely hate that, not to mention then having to throw a heavy for the prowess which drains way too fast, just do something else with him

    Falcon needs a huge damage buff first of all and second I hope his defensive AAR becomes permanent after holding block

    I have both of them as a five star

    Falcon needs a major damage upgrade as well as better utility. His damage is feeble.

    Gambit needs less - he can actually do decent damage. If his kinetic charges (a) didn't get slower as he had more, or (b) didn't reset when hit it (c) significantly improved his block proficiency he'd be much more effective. And he's supposed to be flashy/throwing lots of specials - why not gain power when holding block, like Mordo?

    I'm more excited for falcon because my 6* is the one holding me back from Ranking up Elsa.

    Longer updates I've posted for both champs:

    I think Gambit will become the mutant version of Corvus...

    As for Falcon...the hero is as weak as a wet tissue...who knows what they can do to fix him

    I think Gambit will be High demigod tier and Falcon god tier or above. Reason being, skill is very weam this year while Mutant is very strong. I think they'd try to balance it out.

    The buff notes for gambit were leaked he looks really good on paper. But that's just on paper

    This is the offical one guys!!
    Gambit looks extremely solid imo. bleed resistance, namor like sig ability, big big sp damage, armour and crit resistance and so much more good additions!
    the only bad thing is sp1 stun chance is now 85% but thats not too bad considering he's so much better!

    My guess is that Falcon will be centered around utility and Gambit around damage

    Good guess

    His sp1 stun chance always has been 85% but now as long as the opponent doesn’t have a armor it is 100%

    I have a duped gambit and I’m really impressed with his rework if it’s solid i might chuck some sigs into him
