  That was crazy, right? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy challenging game content, but when you tell me you have to nerf champs that many have spent a lot of time/money to rank/level and then, a few months later, you release a new champ who's abilities dwarf the champ that was nerfed... I feel deceived and you look shady.
  
  At this point they have made it painfully obvious that the initial nerf of the God tier was not to level the playing field, as they said. It was so they could recreate the abilities in new champs that people would spend a lot of time/money to rank/level AGAIN.
  
  In short... Keep your eyes peeled for the next nerf when they feel that these new champs have gotten "too strong" and they feel the need to "level the playing field" again. History has a tendency to repeat itself.
  
  In the meantime... Enjoy the new God Tier!

  No. He used to have insane regen, great damage, could negate all damage from the enemy, perfect block, and an insane nullify. The regen was not the only reason, otherwise, they would have only changed his regen. Mephisto isn’t even that good besides on defense.

  Also Mephisto’s regen works like iron man’s, but not as good, dr strange could do it every 14 seconds... you calling Iron Man god tier?

  Ironman? How is that even a comparison? His health can be shut down in so many ways.
  
  DS was OP, I understand the nerf (at the time). What I don't understand is why his's regen was nerfed to be completely useless. Many other champs, including those created after the nerf have much better regen. And DS has the lowest power gain now as well.
  
  DS was also more of an offense champ. His regen could be completely avoided if you fought him since he had to actually make contact with you to gain any health. Mephisto on the other hand seems to be unavoidable.
  
  I hate the design of Mephisto all together. Unavoidable health gain, has power gain, immune to ability accuracy, and can incinerate all but one champ which is almost unavoidable damage. Not to mention, they made him immune to the one champ who is immune to incinerate, what **** is that?
  
  As a war boss I can see him causing more riots than Magik ever did and would't doubt Kabam takes advantage of him as a money grab boss in future content.
  
  Kabam says champs aren't specifically designed for defense yet every champ we argue was designed for defense we always see as a boss or highly noded defender in quests.
  
  The more champs they continue to design and add to the game causes previous nerfs to make less and less sense to me.

  Let’s not forget his SPOTLIGHT! It says in no uncertain terms:
  Mephisto is designed to be the ultimate Alliance Wars Defender
  
  
  
  HE IS DESIGNED FOR defense

  What's funny is that Kabam removed defender kills supposedly to prevent people from being afraid to try a fight they weren't sure they could handle and hurting their alliance chances. But failed attempts at Mephisto will only give him more souls making his regen even more powerful.
  
  And totally agree on the nerf to DS being a major overreach.
