new champion rebalancing system question

Qwerty12345Qwerty12345 Member Posts: 892 ★★★★
A few months ago, the new system was announced, and everyone was up and arms.

Then a smattering of sample champions were rated, and everyone disagreed with them / made their "own rating system".

Things go delayed a bit, but the system has "formally live" now for a couple months... so, could someone please explain how it is supposed to work?

Like weren't we supposed to get a "target score" for a champion... then data would be gathered / compared to the score, and the champion tweaked if necessary? Without the target scores being announced, how are we supposed to be able to actually make a comparison, and potentially see if a change is likely? How are players supposed to know if the champ is "functioning as intended" if the players don't have the targeted scores?

Could someone perhaps give a theoretical time table as to say... what Scorpion (I'm picking a random new champ, pick another one if you want) score is supposed to be... when the evaluation period would happen, and what kind of announcement/timing it would take to then tweak the champion up or down (we all know that isn't an instantaneous process)... and at what point in the process would players be told that a change would be forthcoming / be educated to take appropriate caution when considering ranking up the champion?

    I forgot it was a thing same with "ratings" but if I remember correctly, champions would be released and then would be under a 6 month watch period to see if rebranding needed to happen or something

    • champion released
    • 3 months of data collection begins
    • kabam rebalance character and test changes on beta server for 2 months
    • changes go live on the main server

    You can find the targeted scores in the champion spotlights on the main mcoc website. Here's Scorpions https://playcontestofchampions.com/news/champion-spotlight-scorpion/

    Champs are rarely played in the first 3 months of release. Their data will be very small and based on only those that got lucky with the featured cavs or early release bundles
