The beta for the IMIW buff was supposed to start this month but I've not heard anything on it. Does anyone have any info they can share?

    As pointed out above his damage over time effects aren't where they should be and since they only had time to do a value only update, his was a lot easier to do than trying to fit in a rework and for the record, even if you were suggest that somebody else should have gotten the buff first, it still would have only been someone who needs a value only update since they were only going off of the time constraints they have.

    Thanks for the info you two. I didn’t use him much and my only intersections with him where many moments of rage at going against him in the past.

    What i hate about the buff program is they aren't focusing on OG champs that came before the cool bunch squad lol

    The dev team said it many times, even Kabam Mike even used Rhino as an example of someone who if you just wanted a numbers bump, could be ready to go within a month or so but if you want a rework with either new mechanics, utility or especially new animations, that takes time.

    You can disagree with everyone telling you what you don't want to hear but it doesn't change the fact that you can't get what you want in a weekend with hardcore dedication and maybe the occasional bathroom break. This ain't Twitter!

    Because the majority of them need complete reworks that take months to do, newer champs only need value tune ups that take a total of 5 minutes to do.
    Not literally 5 minutes but I get what you're trying to say.

    People say this and yet a 2015 champ has been buffed every month a buff has happened in this year...
    Because people were expecting some kind of reverse 12.0 where suddenly all of the Old Guard that got nerfed to the ground suddenly get magically restored to their pre 12.0 State and Beyond because they thought any mobile game that is almost 10 years old can be magically fixed of all its bugs if you hit control Z.

    More great buffs in February and March of 2021 than all of 2022, it really sucks.

    Didn't they already say there's no December buff this year? Also, America and Gor are getting tune ups which were announced.

    It's just missing the Gorr/Chavez tune ups and the unofficial bpcw overhaul likely coming in feburary or march and it'd be good. On a side note, I am tired of people complaining about not buffing the "og champs" when plenty of og champs have already been buffed like the magnetos, gamora, rocket, joe fixit, storm, hulkbuster, colossus, antman, ogbp, ddhk, luke cage, juggs, war machine, spidergwen, ultron, thor jane foster, venom, yellowjacket, hawkeye (did i forget any lol)

    So is the Wiccan + IMIW beta not coming in November? Will it be combined with the Gorr + Chavez beta next month?

    Because the specific older Champs that he has weren't buffed yet, so obviously it's a grand conspiracy against him!

    Why is he getting a uneeded buff

    It's not unneeded. It's it's actually come up more than once that he needed the numbers bump, so they're knocking it out while they can.

    @Shadowstrike No he didnt need anything, and there are way worse champs in the game that could be buffed, Way more champs that need a "numbers bump" i feel like he should be at the bottom of the list if he even made on the list at all, he's already solid on offense and defense so yeah id say it's pretty uneeded.

    Well evidently the team felt otherwise since it's their time, their money, their resources and their schedule.

    Well short of you recreating a dickensian Christmas which would end with you being visited by three spirits during the night, I don't know what more you could do.

    IMIW, he is a defender, he is weak as an attacker, nobody uses it. He does need a buff, the plasma takes very little time. Using it in the attack, it just makes you angry, losing plasmas which is the source of damage.
