Captain America Change - Potential Reason

As we know OG Cap has received a facelift in the new update without receiving a buff, & it has been softly indicated that he won't be getting buffed anytime soon
So what could be the reason fr such an update ??
The only possible reason I could come across is that when a new player downloads the game, they get a small tutorial with Cap
Earlier it ws Cap but I think it was changed to Black Widow or may be it randomly shifts between the two
May be Kabam didn't want the character graphics of the game to feel dated fr someone who has just installed the game
BW's graphics are still decent enough though they could also use some work, but Cap ws extremely boring & vanilla
According to u what other reasons could be there fr such an update ??

it changes if there’s a movie coming out or something like that

pretty sure it’s currently Spider-Man in the tutorial

jbxotiic

The tutorial is actually Shang Chi and Mr. Negative right now

Raichu626

Interesting thought, but Spidey is correct here.
But but, Classic Cap is a permanent member of the parry tutorial, which might be the actual reason

New intern needed a project.

I made an account shortly after cyber weekend, was Shang chi and mr. negative in there then. It could’ve been changed since

Zeraphan

@jbxotiic is correct that the current intro tutorial is Shang Chi and Mister Negative. (unless it changed within the last week)

I don't see any facelift for OG Cap. He looks exactly like he's always looked or am I missing it?

he’s got some red white and blue vfx

it’s most noticeable when he throws his heavy and when you hit into his shield

but his pfp is the exact same

Pretty clever. They use what's current because people typically download the game after they seen a good marvel movie. I however deleted the game once I saw eternals.

There are several other reasons.

New intern needed a project.

This is actually one of them. Sometimes when someone new is hired they are given a small project to familiarize themselves with the tools and systems.

A related reason is when some new under the hood technology is added to the game. Sometimes small projects are used to test them out.

A third reason is sometimes a developer reaches a stall point in the dev pipeline. They've completed their tasks ahead of schedule but cannot start the next task on their plate. They might have a few days where they cannot reasonably start a major project. In moments like this sometimes they are allowed to take on small projects of interest. An FX designer might have had some free time and were allowed to add some small touches to a champion that they had a personal stake or preference in working on.

Specials and victory screen are noticeably improved

I like it, it adds a little something that even though cap is lacking a lot of stuff and even I have a potential rework I want to pitch, it's still something that puts a shine to their current visuals. Hopefully they do it to all the other Champs

FluffyPigMonster

The effects are cool. Unfortunately it’s just that.

I wish Captain America could be more useful, but at least we have the VFX to look at.

I have another theory they knew that Cap was my alts first 6* so just to spite me they are never going to buff him.

Total_Domin01

I have a different theory. I think they buffed Cap but realised it was too OP (happened in past with other buffs) and decided to re do the buff but left just visual for fun.

Never heard of this, who’d they do it to?

If I remember right, Rhino and/or Blackbolt

The last tweaks to both of them were years ago. Blackbolt had the recoil removed from his SP2 and Rhino had his medium buffed with unlockable & unstoppable.
