**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

And I dislike the node as much as you do. I don't have Ghost and refuse to play Quake, but I love my Prof X, Stryfe, Spider-ham and Ebony Maw. These are heavily affected by this node too and their use is much restricted. I am all in for a change of the node. I just think the hystery around this node is an exaggeration. These champs can still be used in vast majority of both permanent and temporary content.
We will have to wait and see for act 7.3 whether it’s there, but honestly I don’t think that counts tbh. Act 7 isn’t the direction Kabam want to go with hard content as they’ve said.
The real test is temporary hard content, when permanent hard content is released, and what happens with hard content like AW. So far, 2/3 have had true focus, and the last one hasn’t been released. It’s not looking good.
Also I have really mixed feelings about AW, I kinda feel like it shouldn't be there, because top tier AW is hard enough without it.
I feel like Kabam has been trying to make temporary hard content Ghost&Quake-proof for some time before, but I may be wrong. I know this content holds very nice rewards and it is the focus of majority of endgame players rn. I only wanted to ppint out, that people who are one the verge of starting a RDT petition are a bit overreacting. There is still temporary content where these champs can be used without regulation and (as we both said), 7.3 is probably gonna be no exception.
TL;DR Quake and Ghost are still incredibly valuable champs to rankup and learn. They have lost a minor fraction pf their value but they aren't useless as some imply.
We will have to wait and see for act 7.3 whether it’s there, but honestly I don’t think that covers it easier Thank you! I think it’s probably the lesser of the evils if they absolutely needed a nerf. May as well take advantage of the Buff Program Kabam have created!
Plus, I’d finally get to use Quake’s SP3 occasionally. Seriously, has anyone ever actually seen it?
Yes, I used her for the lifecycle sasquatch in the grandmaster's gauntlet.
However, two things I feel have kind of been over exaggerated in this thread. First, this node has waaaaay more impact on evaders (read quake) than miss. I used my ghost a lot in sop. Her playstyle changes but all the rest of what makes her amazing still exists. Agreed, the altering of her preferred play style is annoying but I mean you'd think she was worthless and that's just not true. She can still be amazing playing intercept style.... just without a safety net.
Second, it's not like this came out of left field. People have been saying the time was coming when quake and ghost would be neutered. Someone mentioned quakes been around for 3 years.... that's a long time at the top. Expecting these chemistry to remain at the top forever is unrealistic.
Now, I fully agree a sledge hammer was used to swat a fly here. A more precise tool. To cut just q + g off would have been preferred but they chose not to do it. I think it sucks, but this is the ever evolving door. How else can they drum up interest in new champs. KP has to serve a purpose and now she does. I expect future champs will continue to fill a role....else why would any of us chase them?
It’s honestly really surprising to hear someone say “quake isn’t broken” and then go onto say “I brought a 4* along with me into gauntlet”. I really hope you see how at odds those two statements are. Can’t think of many other champs you’d take as a 4*…
I think you’re overestimating how “stressful” quake is to play. She’s easy to play, she’s hard to learn. Again, so what if you’re sacrificing damage, you yourself have explained it’s worth it to bring even a 4* to gauntlet. She’s that good.
Shang chi challenge isn’t designed around Corvus or Aegon at all, Kabam didn’t design it specifically to give them advantages, they just happen to be the best options. Not to mention they’re not the only options. And you can bet your bottom dollar if true focus wasn’t there (which has been designed for Q and G) then those two would be walking all over it.
I’m not sure if you saw my idea on how to deal with a quake “nerf”. Let me know if you didn’t and I’ll link the comment from this thread
I find them too repetitive.
It's impossible to change a champion who has had such a significant impact on the game for FOUR YEARS. You can overhaul a trash champ like Miles, you can nerf a new champ like Namor, but you can't nerf a champ like Quake, people have used her for tons of content already. not to mention you’re suggesting an overhaul. Because there are still people behind who are counting on their Quake and Ghost. Just as I did a few years back.
And what if people enjoy Quake? Well I don't, but there are people who do. Some of the 'Quake gods', for example, by overhauling Quake you're removing a fun aspect of the game from them. I don't think I, you, even Kabam, get to make a decision like that.
If your point is that Quake and Ghost need some sort of suppression, well then design new nodes. True Focus ruins so many champions and makes the two unusable, and a nerf to Quake/Ghost ****s with earlier content and newer players too much. Plus ruining the experience for players who actually enjoy these champs. Y’all are saying that Quake and Ghost are way better than other champions. While it’s true that they are stronger than most other champions, they are not overpowered enough for you to use them in every single piece of content, in every fight, not overpowered enough for you to just rank these two and forget about every other champion in the game. ‘Balanced’ doesn’t have to mean every champ is equal. Every game has outliers and as long as they don’t make the game unfun and unplayable, it’s perfectly fine.
Now that's a ridiculous suggestion obviously, but so is yours that champs can't be touched just bc they've been in the game a long time. If content can be adjusted when the devs deem it too difficult, guess what, champs can be adjusted when deemed too powerful as well.
Ghost and Quake have existed for 3 years, used for Acts 5 to 7, used for Gauntlet, used for other side quests, and as of now the game is still intact. I don't see why ye would say 'nerf Quake and Ghost' after all this time.
If Kabam really needs to restrict them for some fights that are designed to be experienced with other champs, then make a specific node against them. Only for the nodes where Ghost and Quake would really ruin the player experience and I don't think that applies to the Shang-Chi quest or some SoP fights and it's just a bit redundant there. AW boss node I'd agree Quake and Ghost need to be limited but don't bring other Evade/Miss champs down with it as well.

It's kind of cool... just a pity her optimal gameplay will not let you see it unless for whatever reason they ever made a node where charging heavy gives you Power Gain like Air-Walker
“It's impossible to change a champion who has had such a significant impact on the game for FOUR YEARS.” I’m sure 12.0 would love to disagree with you. I’m afraid you don’t get to decide what’s impossible for game decisions in a game you don’t run.
The game is being made unfun by quake and ghost. True focus is here, that is not fun. And until otherwise is proved, it’s here to stay based on 0 comments made about it by kabam, and by Kitty Pryde’s introduction. I’d be incredibly surprised if it was backtracked now.
I’ll ask you one more question, along the assumption that true focus isn’t changed, and that Kabam do not want quake and ghost to rule the contest as much as they do, how would you solve the problem?
To clarify, please stick to those assumptions, i know what you would do if you could change those assumptions so no need to say “get rid of true focus”. Assuming Kabam want to stop ghost and quake, and won’t change true focus, what’s the solution?
The guy who knows the power of quake enough to bring a 4* into gauntlet is saying she’s balanced lol
