Mordo's Astral Evade has been updated to no longer activate if Mordo is suffering from a Concussion or Fatigue debuff.

From your comment, you seem to assume that this is positive for the player base; I would argue that isn’t necessarily the case. And seeing as reviews of existing champs are apparently postponed until mid-2018, the timing seems strange...

This is Kabam's attempt to provide additional counters so more of the player base can clear this new content. That being said, this is an actual change to a champion and his specific ability that makes him useful in specific game modes. Any chance we might see a Mordo-specific RDT? And this could be a RDT that only provides a rarity and class specific rank up ticket. Example: rank down 4* Mordo from 5 to 4, you receive a ticket to rank up one mystic champ from 4 to 5 Maybe?

Players keep saying that Kabam should never nerf when they can just buff other things. This is a perfect example of why that attitude is worthless. Kabam can easily call this a buff to the Fatigue effect and all champions with it. There's no fundamental difference between nerfing Astral Evade or buffing Fatigue: its different words to describe the same change. So what would be the justification for RDTs if this is a Fatigue buff?
