Is this a sign Beast and Iceman are getting a Buff next month?

In the new loading screen you’ll see a bunch of Champs pictures hanging on a board that Kraven has put darts and Knives into. It consists of champs that came out this year as well as some that have already received a buff this year. Then you have some champs we players typically would say are in need of a buff. Of those champs only 2 of them have been marked with a Knife or a Dart, Beast and Iceman. The rest have darts that have “missed” them or are close but aren’t marked. This could be a hint.

This is all just a guess of course but it could make sense, if next month is potentially a mutant month those 2 are perfect candidates for the 2 buff spots. Beast would obviously get the overhaul, but Iceman would be very interesting for a moderate. We’ve already seen solid champs like Bishop and Nebula selected for a buff so maybe Iceman will get something interesting like finally being coldsnap immune or some numbers boosts.

    I don't wanna burst your bubble, but you're looking too much into it. Ikaris, Shang-Chi and DDHK also have knives on their pics. And aside from DDHK, the other two don't need a buff.

    But they are new champs or in DDHK’s case has already received a buff this year, it’s not specifically the knives but just that pattern that of the champs marked Iceman and Beast don’t fit the pattern. They aren’t new champs or recent buffs.

    One of the Kabam people said that the icarus nerf one was kinda a buff because they left some unintended power in him. Hopefully they get buffed next month!!

    Well maybe there is no pattern and Kraven ran out of darts. Maybe it's just a cool looking loading screen

    He needs a value only. Damage is lacking
    “we’ve increased coldsnap and frostbite damage by 20%, take it or leave it”
    Just don’t make it 30% or some people would complain
    I'm complaining about that 😆 🤣

    So if they have a knife or dart in them or not at all…they are either new, had a buff or are about to get a buff! 🤔

    Exactly. That’s why I’m predicting Iceman or Beast because of the ones with a Dart or Knife in them those 2 or neither new champs or buffed champs from this year. Could be completely wrong tho but that’s just the interesting pattern I noticed looking at the loading screen and thought it could possibly mean something.

    Champs like OG Cap, Kamala Khan, Invisible Woman, Loki, and Star Lord are also pictured but they don’t have a Dart or Knife on them so while they are potential buff candidates since they aren’t marked I think Iceman and Beast could potentially get the nod over them next month.

    Honestly your best bet as to who is getting buffed next is just paying attention to who's in the featured crystals.

    Because, nobody use iceman for sure. We have so many powerful champ now. Even with immunities where iceman don't even compete with them. Iceman is a omega level mutant and a fan favourite character, unfortunately his name don't fit in this contest meta now.

    Iceman needs the coldsnap/frostbite immunity, or even better 100% resistance like surfer or something. The fact he doesn’t have it is one of the most absurd things in the game, by any logic. He’s an omega-level mutant who can literally turn into ice as well as cover himself in it.

    This is what happens when you think too much about the game that you put meaning to everything.

    This.

    Thank you for putting thoughts I have in a logical sentence.

    More damage would also be much appreciated.

    Remove new champs and already-buffed champs from the 24. Look at what’s left. I don’t think you can get a pattern out of it (or if you do, you might be waiting a lot longer than you think.)

    Iceman should be frostbite immune and 100% coldsnap resistant, so WP heals him.

    No I don't think it's a sign, just a loading screen with some random champs.
    Beast needs a buff though for sure.
