Ms. Marvel Discussion [Titled edited for clarity]

I've been playing the game for a few years now. I spend at least an hour a day playing various content. with the pandemic and lockdown going on I have plenty of time in my hands. I became thronebreaker recently. I have a fairly sizeable roster and I enjoy my time playing. But sometimes something happens and I just snap. Yes, I will be complaining from this point on, so if you have a problem with that drop a disagree and close this tab.
Now, I don't normally complain because this is part of the game, pulling crappy champs and having to live with that. I have pulled yondu from 3 out of my 5 6* crystals and haven't complained a bit. I have multiple copies of Agent Venom, Taskmaster and so on. And I've had my fair share of 6* champs who became good after their buffs (Falcon, Terrax etc.) But I haven't complained because this is part of the game and these characters are at least somewhat useful. At least Kabam put an effort into designing these champs. There is some craft in these characters.
Now please look at Ms. Marvels ability set:
Three Lines of description. Three lines. There is no work here, there is nothing here. It's just a reskin of normal Captain marvel. Exactly the same character. Yes these are old champions and back then the game was different. Yet even when the 6* crystal first came out, they were outdated champions. Why add them in the first place? I'm not saying there shouldn't be bad champions in the crystals. But two of the same champion? You might say they will get a buff eventually or whatever. And not every champion has to be amazing. There have to be some bad champs as I said. But at least try to make them interesting. Both of these characters need more than an overhaul. But the sad thing is maybe the game doesn't need an overhaul of these two.
In the event that Kabam buffs these champs, I will definitely and gladly eat my words. But until then the case remains that, these two lazily made characters are popping out of crystals ruining someones day. I also would like to discuss with anyone who wants to talk about how to make these champs better.
TLDR; Ms. Marvel is a lazy made champion (granted she is an old champion but still) that never should have made her way into the 6* Basic pool.

When 6-stars first came out, there wasn't any concept of regular of buffing champions. It happened irregularly and took months.
Ms. Marvel and Captain Marvel - as you said literally the same champions, jus reskinned
Iron-man and Superior Iron-man - these two I admit differ slightly in their numbers, but same sifuation: reskin and just change some numbers
I understand the game was different but I wonder what kinda employee had the stupid idea to create a copypaste champs. And it puzzles me even more that it actually got through in the game
Also quite frankly, I am sorry for the animator who made the champions - they all look good but imagine you create a unique model that is put onto the same core as other champ has
Obviously the devs are super lazy since it's been nearly 7 years now since the game came out.
Edit:
To add onto this, why call the devs lazy? How do you know it was their choice? Decisions like abilities generally come from the creative director and champion designers. This was the initial direction of the game. There are other champs that didn't even have a SP3 description.
Plus if you look at all the crystals in the store right now, the top prizes are just the featured champs. For everything else it looks as if the most recent additions to the crystals are cycling through as top prizes.
Some very good
Some very bad
We can probably agree doom is good and diablo is bad but it would be impossible for all of us to decide where a certain champion falls on that broad spectrum. Which is irrelevant anyway because Kabam is not going admit one champion is better than other.
However, even Kabam admits some champions are outdated and that is the real point here. Seriously just look at that mrs marvel description.
She doesn't belong to this game at the moment and Kabam knows it yet, they are still in 5* 6*pools.
I sincerely thank and appreciate Kabam for starting this buffing previous champions project.
Not all buffs need to make a champion a god tier either, but more 2021 appropriate.
So, perhaps a chronological order to these reworks could be a better approach. (I'm saying this as someone who is enjoying some of these recent updates e.g falcon).
And this might be a crazy ask but, say that you are working on these champions (i mean outdated not meme tier) and while you are on it, remove it from pools. Then you can sell us once they are beyond god tier.
