Potential Delay to v44.1 Launch
We are currently working through some issues that may affect the release window of v44.1. This means that the update may not release on Monday as it usually does. We are working to resolve the issue holding us up as quickly as possible, but will keep you all updated, especially if the delay results in any changes to the content release schedule.

First of all, since MCOC was released in December 2014, for an intents and purposes the oldest champions date from basically 2015. Angela was released in April 2017. That means while the oldest champions in the game are about six years old, Angela is almost four years old. So let's revise the story first by saying the first car is a 2015, and the second car is a 2017, and it is now 2021. The first car is two years older not three and a half years older, and both cars are actually much more similar in age at this point.
Second of all, no one promised anyone anything about the long value of the champions. You hope they retain some value over time, but not only do the devs not make that promise, they go out of their way to state the opposite. You know like how when you drive a brand new car off the lot, its resale value often drops dramatically the instant you do? That's not the dealer's fault. They don't guarantee resale value. They only guarantee it will still run.
Not only that, no one ever made the promise that they would turn older less relevant champs into powerhouses. At most, they said they would try to make those champs relevant again. They promised your Pinto would get to work and back with all the accessories functional, not that they would turn it into a sports car.
The devs also never stated that all the champs would be updated in three months: that's totally ludicrous. They actually stated how fast they would try to update champions, and on that schedule it would take years to get through every champ. Someone would get to the Pinto eventually, but they make no promises on when they would get to it. Meanwhile, you didn't have to leave it there: you could keep using it until they were ready to work on it.
Finally, the devs have several buff queues going, each one working on different kinds of things. And they explicitly stated that they would be working on smaller jobs intermixed with larger jobs. So when you show up to the shop demanding to know why they haven't scheduled your complete overhaul when they are clearly still doing safety checks and wheel alignments, they tell you they are not going to shut down the shop just to work on your car.
And when you complain that they missed your appointment, they politely ask you to show proof you had one in the first place for them to miss.
Tune up = Value update = numbers change (no ability changes) (Punisher 2099, Mole Man, Terrax, Angela)
Update = Numbers tweak + a few new abilities (Falcon, Gambit, Kingpin, YJ)
Overhaul = Complete redesign of kit (Colossus, Both Magnetos, Hulkbuster)
I don't see how people are complaining about a buff to Angela. Kabam are buffing 4 champs a month for 2/3 of the months in 2020 (The other 1/3 is 2 champ overhaul months). 40 champs are to be buffed in 2021, why do y'all care if Angela gets buffed now or in December? So many people have sig 60 6 star Angelas rotting away, this tune up is very much appreciated. Y'all complain when you get a 6 star Angela sig 40 but then complain when she's announced to be getting a buff, make up your minds.
Balanced – Champions that are “Good Enough for Now”, or better.
Tune-Up – No ability changes just tuning up numbers (Torch or Sentry)
Update – Numbers and Minor Ability Changes but largely the same kit (a la Red Hulk, or Carnage)
Overhaul – Whole new kit time. (Think Hulkbuster or Colossus)
No worries. It's confusing, so I'm gonna work on ways in which we can make this clearer going forward.
It was clarified what kind of buff it was multiple times
I was confused on the wording , and if he had to explain what that wording met , I do believe he understood my confusion. Semantics of “update”, was important. We would not be having this conversation if he didn’t have update in the wording.
I specifically said side events. Have you seen the number of pages last month? And with the complicated side events, it is very tedious to go through all the text. Not everyone can have the time to do that. It's not laziness, it's just common sense to have the important comments pinned at the start of the thread so that people don't have to wade through all the bs to get information.
my Angela is now 4/55
thanks Kabam lol
