It frustrates me that the community screams saying old champs need buffs and reworks and then when it happens people flip out. Just be happy that they are updating old champs. A lot of games I’ve played often gave no love to old characters
Yes, there are other mystics that nullify. Yes a few of them are those "God Tier" champs. However, there are those like myself who specifically ranked Hood with this ability because he completed a package. I run the full Ghost/Hood/Wasp squad at R3 for AW, and most other content for that matter. Hood being able to cover every aspect of buff control allowed him to be viable enough to be more than just a tagalong. You didn't need to break apart the team for a missing piece of utility that never should have been removed in the first place. He lacked dmg, so I was willing to burn the resources to R3 to help mitigate that.
The "Buff" forced you to have to break apart a pretty much flawless complete package for no reason. Also, basically go against what Kabam would constantly try to promote, which was the use of some of those niche champs that weren't used by many. It was gonna force those like myself to fall right back in line with the mainstream and use one of the "God Tier" champs instead. A bit backwards from their usual "goal".
Yes, I am the "Few", but my "Few" at it's core was fine, and just needed a tune up. Not a completely different addition that took away the core.
imbued for dormammu is like phase for ghost.
if youre not using dormammu other than arenas dont waste my time here.
nvm whats done is done. no need to argue about this anymore. i hope they'll make something handy.
No need to be rude. Everyone else here is arguing their points respectfully
I actually use all of these champs. At one time Loki was in fact my actual best buff control champ, so I know that he *can* do that, but also is nowhere in the same class as the champs with strong stagger and nullify/fate seal. I don't usually discuss champs unless I have them, use them, and rank them. Or in the case of Dormammu, have the good fortune to pull him multiple times as a 6*.
not like dna guy, hes trying to insult me with 2 meters of paragraphs something he doesnt even know.
not gonna buy that.
yes my man if i offended you or some other respectful people i am sorry. no worries about that.
But are now crying because they temporarily reverted his burst damage.
I'm just trying to align a focus point. Peeps keep going on about "there are other champs this..." or "this champ does it better...", when the point is, this specific champ did that, and did it well, so he was ranked. But, we wanna give him a whole new kit that no longer does what many ranked him for in the first place because we(Kabam) "think" it's better regardess without even checking with those who did use him in the first place.
I'm not here to discuss who else can do what. I'm here to discuss what Hood specifically did for me for a long time, vs how the changes would have pretty much negated that.
lots of mystic champs can nullify pre existing BUFFS. that was the damn point from the beginning until you tried to enter with your dormammu thing.
its not about dormammu, or loki,
its about what they actually can do,
its not how they do.
ffs im not against fate seal, ive been saying they could just implement to this hood.
While you’re at it, the primary utility I ranked up my Magneto for was to eat special 3s with his signature ability. He now no longer does that. Why did you guys nerf his main utility? Can you dial back all the Magneto changes next?

Sure, it is easy to take glee in seeing people become victims of their own attitudes. But behind them are probably a lot of players who fell victim to the double change and were completely innocent of of any malfeasance. The vast majority of players do not read the forums or the Reddit, and we need to protect all sides from champion update whiplash.
There's nothing wrong with liking the updated Hood. I don't fault players for that. It is just that the cost of getting it in terms of other players' losses is too high to be reasonable.
in fact if you just go up in some previous quotes you'll see that i've said
"..so far i didnt want to play this game but if you gonna ask me that im gonna ask you:.."
because "you dont have other option?" question is so irrelevant. thats why i didnt want to play that question game...
we are discussing here about one champion not other champions.
As already stated by others, the most important thing in the statement from Kabam is that they’re committing to staying true to the core of each champion as the buffs progress. While some may not value that as important in terms of champs that are viewed as being in the bottom tiers of champs, it will be important as they buff more mid-tier champs like Hood. Remember that not everyone has access to the top tier champs of the game due to the random nature of acquiring champions. Many players rank up these mid-tier champs because even though they may not be the best in the game, they still have their uses and can effectively counter certain pieces of content. I can’t speak for everyone else, but I can certainly say that the fact that I no longer have to worry, at least for now, about champs I have ranked losing a core piece of their utility feels like a weight off my shoulders. Regardless of the champ, no player should have their resources made invalid and wasted because they ranked a champ and months/years later that champ is buffed and loses that main reason they were ranked in the first place.
although i doubt that you even know how hood works.
you cant just parry with old hood, it can be miss or it can put you into some conflict.
"sp2 parry heavy" method is a fairy tale by some quick readers, not the actual players.
