Which one champ from each class would you like to see buffed in 2021?

I know it's easy to hate on Kabam, but I think that we can all admit they've done a wonderful job with character buffs in 2020 (Thank you KABAM). From what I understand, Daredevil is the final champ of 2020 to get the buff treatment, and I am very excited for what it will be. As we approach a new year, what is 1 champ from each class you'd like to see get a buff. It could be a tune up, update, or overhaul. Feel free to share your reasons why if you're up to it.
Mutant - Rogue - tune up: Rogue's kit is great as it is. She could benefit from some numbers adjustments, and possibly an increase of power steal duration. The mutant class has so many "god-tier" champs, she doesn't need anything crazy, but it would be nice to see her made a little better.
Skill - Black Panther CW - Overhaul: At the time his character design was introduced, he was a top tier defender. At this point though, he has fallen very far on the war defensive tier. I would like to see an overhaul which makes him more of an offensive champ. Mysterio has a damage reflective ability, so that could still work, but he definitely needs bleeds on his regular attacks. Now that "rupture" has been added to the game, he seems like a fantastic choice for that mechanic as well.
Science - Sentry - Overhaul: Something like what they did with Magneto. Considering they are the same person, I'd like to see him on par with his counterpart Void
Mystic - Juggernaut - Overhaul: As much as Iron Fist needs it, I think that Juggernaut needs it much more. I was watching X-Men the animated series the other day and I remembered just how powerful the big guy really is. He should have immunities comparable to Colossus, and his attack should be much higher. He is the kind of character who I'd love to see designed with the more MCOC meta in mind.
Cosmic - Venompool - Update: Venompool has several positive things going for him, but none of those traits are at a high enough level to make a difference in any recent content. Venom and Carnage have both picked up some great new techniques since being first introduced. Venompool could incorporate a trait from one or both, and then boos this regen to be crazy good.
Tech - Rocket Racoon - Update: Add a persistent charge mechanic similar to Mr.Fantastic which instead of providing debuffs to opponents, would apply buffs to your current champion selection. I'd also like him to include special synergies or bonuses for all of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Mutant - Rogue - tune up: Rogue's kit is great as it is. She could benefit from some numbers adjustments, and possibly an increase of power steal duration. The mutant class has so many "god-tier" champs, she doesn't need anything crazy, but it would be nice to see her made a little better.

Some I have a vested interest in, some just need to be updated.
Dr. Zola
Cosmic: Phoenix
Tech: Rocket
Mutant: Cyclops -hopefully exact same time with Phoenix
Skill: Moonknight
Science: Miles
Science
Tech - Civil Warrior - Tune-Up - His kit is fine, but his damage is awful. For each armor up, his attack increases 5%. Landing a heavy refreshes all armor up buffs. Sp1 adds 1 armor up buff. Sp2 converts up to 5 armor up into an indefinite fury increasing attack by 20%. Minor changes make him a top 5 tech.
Mutant - Red Cyclops - Update - Give this man some prowess! Landing a heavy or performing a well timed block grant a prowess, max of 5 stacks. When 5 prowess stacks active - sp1 applies a permanent armor shattered; sp2 consumes all prowess into incinerate debuffs dealing 25% of direct damage per stack for 10 seconds; sp3 - converts up to 5 prowess into a permanent prowess increasing sp damage by 10% per prowess converted. Add a persistent charge granting 1 prowess at the start of the fight and an additional 1 for each opponent knocked out, max of 3 stacks. Against #avengers, he is immune to stun and bleed (unless a class disadvantage is active). More on this below...
Science - OG Captain America - Update -There are other Science champs that deserve it first, but this ties in to my Cyclops idea.CA is one of the most popular heroes in comic history. Time he gets his due. Cap gets a 10% chance to apply a random debuff effect (exhaustion, slow, fatigue) for each hit, max of 2 stacks per debuff. For each debuff on the opponent, his power gains at 2x the normal rate. His sp 1 applies a petrify debuff while also applying a stun. The stun has a 1 second default, but increases by .5 seconds per debuff on the opponent. His sp2 power locks the opponent for 8 seconds and applies aa 10 second heal block. His sp3 grants a 10 second indestructible charge while also applying a 20 second vulnerability debuff on the opponent. His next 5 attacks are unblockable. Against #xmen, CA is immune to stun and bleed.
Cyclops and CA updates tie in with an Avengers v. X Men Event Quest. In the same month, we also get Mystique and Quicksilver.
I can't decide on Mystic and Cosmic, so I will pass on those for now.
Rogue has a kit, which has all the potential for an insane champ.
A significant increase on her stolen buff duration, buff pause during opponent specials, increased chance for critical hits at specials and finally fixing the issue with her final blow life steal, can make her the mutant goddess 🙂

Tech is probably the class I’d like to get worked on the most. So many champions that are just straight duds
Cosmic - Venompool
Skill - Moon Knight
Mystic - Iron Fist
Mutant - Cyclops (Blue Team)
Science - Spider Man (Miles Morales)
Tech - Civil Warrior
Mutant - Rogue
Skill - Elektra or Daredevil (Classic)
Science - Ant-Man
Mystic - Doctor Strange or Juggernaut
Science - Sentry or Abom/Hulk. Sentry needs no explanation, and hulk and abom deserve a buff together
Mutant - Beast, my second 5 star and a very interesting yet underwhelming champion
Skill - kingpin or the daredevils
Tech - IronMan because he’s iron man and I just got him as a 6 star (Superior iron man actually needs to be superior too)
Tech - Miles Morales
Cosmic - Miles Morales
Skill - Miles Morales
Mutant - Miles Morales
Mystic - Miles Morales
Science- Joe Fixit- Update: I really enjoy his slot machine type ability which makes him quite fun to play but the attributes of the abilities are definitely due for improvement and could use some extra power. He should really feel like a giant mobster who gambles his way through fights.
Mystic- Doctor Strange- Overhaul: We’ve seen enough of the repetitive “blessings” abilities so I think it’d be time to bring the true Dr. Strange into the contest. I’d like to see him conjure a variety of spells similar to GR or CGR’s judgements that inflict different effects or give him different buffs. Allow him to keep the same constant power gain ability to make him a good defender but give him more offensive utilities and damage output. Add more effects to his animations to fit these new spells and we got ourselves a new god of the mystic class. One of the most overpowered characters in marvel. New synergies to go along with him as well.
Cosmic- The Champion- Update: This guy is a fairly new champion that somehow manages to feel like an early 2017 champ. His defensive ability is outdated and doesn’t even cover the new meta now and his utilities are severely limited for an Elder of the contest. His fury buffs fall off too quickly and his special attacks just hinder his future damage output... that takes forever to get out of cooldown. This guy should be really powerful because in the lore he is the literal brother of the Collector and Grandmaster. I’d like to see Champion make a comeback on AWD too... that's why people ranked him up at all. I feel like he should be immune to nullify and class disadvantage because he is an elder after all and the only thing that should stop his unstoppable are special attacks and slow debuffs. His armor breaks and true strike buff need to be lengthened and be able to be paused and refreshed through his useless heavy attack, rewarding skillful, intercepting play. Champion's sp1 regen needs a huge increase for the price it costs and his thrag synergy needs to be in his base kit. Reading his ability and background info... this guy should be a beast!
Tech- Civil Warrior- Update: Civil Warrior already has amazing utility but his damage output it pathetic. Please give him a way to increase his damage output. As for defense... make him immune to armor break debuffs except against cosmics and give him some sort of defensive ability based on his armor up passives to encourage people to play defensively and let his armor ups fall off like imiw.
Mutant- Cyclops (Both)- Overhaul: 'Nuff said. Hero Cyclops and Villian Cyclops buff
Ultron
Black panther (both)
Cyclops(both)
Groot
Jane foster
Tech- Iron Patriot or Vulture
Mutant- one of the deadpools or one of the cyclops’s
Skill- Karnak or moon knight (I have to also throw daredevil classic in there because he’s not getting buffed alongside Netflix daredevil and a Korg overhaul because he’s so useless as a playable character and he feels like a waste of a character)
Science- one of the spidermen or classic cap
Mystic- diablo or iron fist (juggy and unstoppable colossus should get a nod too)
I think I’d be happy if everyone on this list gets buffed in the next two years. The people in parentheses are hopes that I don’t think will happen soon.
Skill-Moon Knight
Mutant-Beast
Cosmic-Black Bolt
Tech-Ultron
Mystic-Ghost Rider
as honorable mentions,i'd include Spider-Man/Rhino,Punisher,Cyclops,Superior Iron Man,Howard and Juggernaut
Mystic- Iron Fist
Cosmic- Phoenix
Tech- War Machine
Mutant- Storm
Skill- Elektra
Science- Ant Man
