*** I LOVE THIS GAME, THE GRAPHICS, GAME PHYSICS, ALL THE CREATIVE WORK THAT GOES BEHIND THE SCENES. SO I HOPE THE FEEDBACK IS TAKEN IN GOOD SPORT. ***
Why do we all want reworked champs? Level the playing field! Right?
Every champion need to serve a purpose and stay relevant. And I hope no champion is ever envisioned purely for AW defense or some annoying boss in quest, rather to serve in summoner's quests which is primary.
What is the purpose of reworked Yellow Jacket? Yes, there is meltdown, though short lived. Yes, there is heal reversal, which comes in handy in very specific matchups. His energy resistance is commendable. And to be good in attack, he seems to rely on sig200?
Does all this help level the playing field? Does this new YJ update make it enticing to rank him up ahead of any other Science champions from the last 1 or 2 years? Spenders and Grinders have better champs. Rest, like me, would love to rank him up because of his beautiful design & in game mechanics but not if he is going to help in difficult contents of the game.
HERE"S MY SUGGESTION/REQUEST KABAM!
Use your telemetry data to see how many people are ranking him up and using him over the next 2 months. And does that justify the time and efforts behind the overhaul. If not, what can be done to make it worth?
Like many out there who were hyped, I am disappointed, especially because it was a rework and not just some stat adjustments. His nerfed hits are sore to the eyes.
PS: I am not a fan of YJ character. I just love his in game design & play. Hope he gets more love.

Thanks guys! Appreciate the responses.
But if he is meant to be a utility champion then I really wish I can use him more! His meltdown can predominantly happen in long fights and when it happens 12 seconds feels short (especially with all these new unstoppables and unblockables). Not to mention every time you use a heavy attack, you lose 10 of them and opponent's special gaining back those 10 just doesn't add up. His critical damage is not great either and has 0 armor. So if you block hits, he takes a lot of damage. My point is, he is neither great on long fights nor amazing on short fights.
Either his meltdown needs to happen more often which means his chance to gain charges on hits need to be greater than 60%. Or his critical damage needs to be bumped up so that it makes up for that delayed meltdown. Both of which can get him some love to use in attack. Or at least make him suitable for defensive game play with a little bit of armor addition.
His stings do make up a little for that missing attack but doesn't make up for the special damage as such because of low crit numbers. I enjoy him more with Mr. Fantastic + Doc Oc shared knowledge synergy which adds extra to his stings. But that's barely a case for why people want to rank him up or use him.
I hope Kabam reads this and appreciate my perspective. Does the idea to tweak his numbers make sense?
@Kabam Miike @Kabam Zibiit @Kabam Vydious @Kabam Porthos @Kabam Lyra Mr @JazzKnight would like his request to be seen by some Kabam deities!
Sorry if this is abit overboard
But i agree some champs are dated.
But not all buffs should he game changers.
Excuse me while i quote the impossibles.
"When everyone is special, no one is."
That is, until yesterday, with The Hood's nerf.
With my new suicide free mastery setup, I am able to appreciate his abilities a bit more. Get an SP3 & keep spamming SP1s (where there is no need for that SP2), that's just it. It's not unique to him by any means I guess. Blade plays so much better as his bleed based power gain enables him to keep chaining SP1. I am sure there are plenty others.
To summarize, it's all about compromise. That's the way game is. Different masteries benefit different champs and different game styles.
On the downside though, the champs I use the most like WL, Ultron and Dorm all took a big hit on their attack numbers, with G99 being the exception.
