Why are Kabbam taking Hoods utility

I think its dissapoiting the fact that Hood is going to be loosing a lot of utility, mainly his l2(hex) which is an amazing piece of utility and allows you control the fight if especially running Mystic dispersion this men is a beast. I'm honestly mad though because again it feels more like a nerf then a buff. Hood is an amazing character they way he is, he just needs a tune up on damage and that's it. I don't get why he needs an entire overhaul no one said he was in need of an entire change only a buff on damage. I've used my rank 1 5 star hood for plenty of content and I was even gonna rank him up to 5 because his just an amazing champion with an amazing utility. Some things are getting nice upgrades but the persistent charge and nerf on his l2 is just dissapointing. I appreciate Kabbams buffs but damage isn't everything and I feel like it's peoples fault on this one because when yellow got updated, most people were mad because he didn't have damage despite of the amazing utility and resistance this champion has, which utility is always better than damage most of the time. I'm not hating on kabbam or anything but I would appreciate if he was able to keep his l2 hex and a lot more the same, if you want make changes fine but don't take things that already make his character already better. Anyways I trust the Kabam team to make a good decision and do more research on hood before releasing his buff.

Pfft, garbage. He was fine as is, a perfect middle level mystic.
For me, it is not about Hood specifically. It is about what Hood represents, in a world where Kabam is adjusting several champs every month, instead of a couple every year.
In terms of my roster personally, the Hood change is probably a slight net positive. I have a very wide roster, I don't have the same investment in Hood, and I have other options. The change doesn't hurt either my ability to complete content or nullify any significant resource investments I've made. But it is still wrong, and I would reverse it if I could.
The reality is that even if there is a player who uses hood regularly the minute they pull doom or Claire or any of the 10 or so mystics that are better than him he’ll get put on the shelf to collect dust.
Plus, you keep saying things that are patently untrue, as if every player of this game plays it the same way you do. The fact that you cannot even conceive of a player who treats the champions differently than you suggests that perhaps the reason why you can't see the critical harm of the Hood update is because you can only judge things based on how they impact you, and you alone. Such a perspective is not likely to be a good one to follow if one wants the game to be successful in the long run.
