The Hoods new change. Do NOT NERF THE HOOD!!

I’m someone who had the hood as my first Rank 5 5*. And he got me through the champion boss before act 6 was even considered on being nerfed, and if I pulled him as a 6* my nostalgia would probably make me R3 him. But I do not agree with rebalancing his stagger and utility abilities for some damage. I think kabam should leave his abilities alone, if anything make them stronger, he isn’t an all star champ that everyone wants to rank up. The only people that will Max him out are people like me who got him as their first and think he’s the most underrated champ.
But please DO NOT NERF HIS ABILITIES FOR A LITTLE BIT OF DAMAGE.

Please just leave him alone. Nerf someone OP. Not a slightly above avg. champ with great utilities.

Or just give me max Doom and I'll trade him in I guess and we can all play the same champs. That's fun. 🙄

Hood just needed his numbers tuned up, and make his invisibility cause misses 100% of the time. That’ll make him good enough. The overhaul really wasn’t required.

This is completely true. The Hood needed to be one that was updated with just values and a new synergy or two. His base skills were perfectly fine and desirable. We only wanted his damage to be closer to Doom, Symbiote, and BWCV so that he would be an alternative you could feel good about.

Kabam either needs to put the fate seal back on SP2 or just cancel the whole operation for now. Switching to a tune-up is actually the ideal solution, but I doubt there is time to change over to that now.

There are at least 10 mystic champs alone that’s better than hood pre nerf. Stop blaming kabam for your poor rank up choices

mbrace

Well now there will be 20 (though your statement is false).

Wakandas_Finest

False how?
Doom
Claire
Sorcerer Supreme
Symbiote supreme
Longshot
Magik
Morningstar
Dragon man
Dr voodoo
Ghostrider
Mojo
SW
Are all better than hood pre buff. Where’s the lie?

JUSTICE FOR HOOD

Do you think game developer is going to listen to beta tester on keeping his ability or going to turn a deaf ear?

I'm not sure how any player past Act 5 could still be thinking about champions in this extremely simplistic and linear way. Sure, if your goal is to make a tier list, then maybe those champs would be higher. But if you specifically ranked up Hood for his current strengths, those other champs are not all better at Hood at those specific things. And in this game, past a certain point, nobody cares if a champion is higher "tier." They care if they are the answer to the content. Hood's usefulness is narrow, but within that narrow slice he's very useful.

If you're using Hood for his buff control and other strengths, Morningstar is not going to be better there. Scarlet Witch isn't likely to be better, but she's also not available as 6* regardless. Ghost Rider is not going to be better. I'm not even sure Magik would necessarily be better without max mystic dispersion. And Dragon Man isn't even in the discussion at all.

If this is the way you view the game, that's your prerogative. But I can guarantee you that most people do not view the game this way, and I doubt not even most top tier players view the game this way. I certainly don't view the game this way, and I don't have any problem advocating for the devs to disavow it.

Hood should not be touched. I have never seen him used in master on attack, defense, or AQ.

What is the logic in making him worse?

Lol so you’d rank up a single champ for a specific situation? Because at best that’s the only way Hood is even viable and even still there are better champs to use limited rank up resources on. All of the champs I listed are better because they are better in more ways than hood. More utility, more DOT, more power control, more damage, more regen, etc. you counter with a single instance where Hood might be better lol

Agent_X_zzz

You aren't factoring that hood may be that players only good mystic for something, for example loads of people ranked hood for the 6.2 champion. And better is subjective, it really depends on the situation, for example Hood is far better for the champion that GR, and a player may need a champion counter so they rank hood

Crcrcrc

I absolutely would rank up someone for one piece of content. You think I want to r5 Morningstar before Claire Voyant? (Sorry ManMythLegend). But I'm doing it, as she is the answer to the content I want to complete. And I would be incredibly mad if she was buffed to have more damage and lose her most useful ability after I r5 her for that content. Same thing for people who rank up Hood.

Wakandas_Finest

Yet another person pointing to a single instance to try and justify ranking up hood over better champs. FYI there are several non mystic that can handle that champion fight better than some mystics and certainly better than hood. Also $1 gets you $1,000 that those same people who ranked up hood for the champion fight hardly use him now outside of arena

My whole point is people are blowing this out of proportion. I’ve never seen anyone enthusiastically sharing screenshots when they pull hood as a 5 or 6 star champ. I’ve never heard anyone say you need hood for this fight or this path. No one was checking for Hood before now.

Now all of sudden people are acting like this change has broken their rosters and the game give me a break. Let’s not forget they don’t even know if the champ is going to be better or worse after the buff. All this knee jerk crying about a below average champ is nauseating.

Wakandas_Finest

So you finish that content and then what? You’re stuck with a champ you won’t use again unless that specific situation comes around again which by then you’ll most likely have a better option ranked up. To each his own I guess but I don’t use resources on champs I’m only going to use once or twice a year. Easier to just use potions and revives, which are a lot easier to farm than cats, to get through content in my opinion.

The_Sentry06

Manty ppl rank up champions for niche use. It's how the game is moving forward when looking at act 7.

Sorry, what was that? I couldn’t hear you over the sound of my Hood killing people in Act 6, Act 7, Variants, War-

winterthur

It seems like champs Summoners used against the Champion is being given re-work treatment.

ẞlооd

This is a very weak argument considering everyone ranked up a champ based on pre-nerf. If they're complaining about the new Hood, then they have all the reason to blame Kabam because Kabam are the one's responsible for changing him and invalidating their rank-ups..

Unless you're saying people regret their rank-ups of pre-buff Hood, and are trying to take advantage of this situation, in which case, you are only assuming and have no argument.

ThatGuyYouSaw235

A small group of god tier champions will only get you so far in pieces of content that require a utility/utility combo that only a few champions have. People rank up these champions such as hood for those situations.

You have never seen anyone sharing screenshots of playing with Hood or Pulling him as 5*? Ok I have him at R5, I have Doom at R5, Sym Sup at R5. Of the 3, guess which one is Sig 200? You want to know where I used him? In monthly EQ. Anytime I have to fight Vision Aarkus. AQ map 5 Hyperion, when he was the mini. Variants. Act 6 Champion. Well I did not solo him but I got him down to the last 10% and then died.
You want to know why people use him? Because it is simple and some people like simple things. Fate seal the defender with Sp2 and enjoy the rest of the fight. Become stun immune when invisibility is on cool down. Use him with IW and you get more power when the opponent misses. Use him with Ghost and he start the fight invisible. If I play encroaching stun, I can be in cool down or invisible and I will either bypass that stun or invisibility will save me.
You know why no one talks about him? Because he is not glamorous like Doom or Sym Sup. Kinda like if you support a football team that is not Barcelona or Real Madrid or other top teams. You just go on playing the game for fun with a champion you like. If you think all this is nauseating, maybe you can refrain from talking or reading about it. I am sure it will help.
