Will Absorbing man get tuned down?

I’m considering using an AG on him… Lagacy said he could be..

Any champ "could be" lol

If he is, it'll be around August, so you still have lots of time to use him
Wow didn’t know it’s that long?

Might be worth the AG then…
Yeah it is gorr and valk were this month with their possible tuning changes. Next month is galan and QS, April is titania and Iron Doom, May is Spot and spidey supreme, June is Shuri and Attuma, July is Mantis (and maybe Jessica Jones) so August would be Zemo and Abs man
Gorr, valk, galan, qs, titania, iron doom, spot and Spidey supreme have already been through rebalancing and nothing changed idk what you think gorr and valk got rebalanced this month even tho they've been in the crystals since December

Bro, gorr's buff literally came out 2 weeks ago along with Chavez, what you talking about?

If Scorpion, Hulkling and Galan survived. I'm sure Absorbing Man will too.

Most of the time, he’s only good on attack, not great. He’s also stressful to play and doesn’t serve a lot of purpose in terms of normal mystic utility. I tried my best to like him based on all the hype, but I think I’m going to bench him and leave him for defense. He’s great for that.

The only thing that might get changed, in my opinion, is the regen. However, the regen isn't broken. It just requires a specific counter like many, many other defenders before him.
I would welcome a nerf to his regen, but I don't think it'll happen.

I got him, took to r3 and played a lot lately. He's amazing for matchups like Terrax, Annihilus, Vision Arkus and fights where debuffs trigger a lot but he's just good in simple fights where immunities doesn't trigger. I'm running suicides and he takes down ROL Winter Soldier in 70-80 hits but Captain Marvel in 50-55 hits. Top off that you have to light intercept. When morph form ends he looses all immunities and damage. If they're gonna tune him down even a little bit then he will be ruined. Imo he's just perfectly balanced. As a defender he isn't hard to beat at all. In BGs I could easily beat him even with Sunspot (not gonna talk about AA and Torch).

I've been hearing good things about absorbing man but not ridiculously broken things, so I feel like he should be fine but at the end of the day, they're gonna be going off with the data to determine if a change is required.

Welp, my intuition was right once again….

Justin2524

Wasted an AG on him.. smh…

Raganator

Lol. So you only awakened him for his regen at the start of the fight and for no other reason?

they are going to spoil the next top character with their crooked hands, just because they think something is there. I am against the announced demotion of absorbing man. Knowing kabam, removing regen from him, they will simply spoil a great character. Kabam generally spoils everything he touches and does not fix anything.

Makes no sense at all.

They aren’t removing regen from him lol. They are are just making it so he doesn’t regen at the beginning of the fight on defense. He’ll still have his regen and be just as annoying in battlegrounds. It’s a pretty small change that most people won’t notice.

Dear Lord, this is highly dramatic.

It’s not even an offensive nerf. It’s an extremely minor defensive one. I’m glad with the outcome.

I’m more disappointed with Zemo’s fury cap. Getting that to 99 and throwing a massive medium was fun. It only worked for specific champs/nodes too so it wasn’t that OP. I guess we’ll see the outcome in the beta

Not really, the only time you'll notice it is when you don't solo abs man. If anything you could say it makes him harder because you can't immediately heal reverse him if you didn't get the solo.

What you gonna do about it?

Complain more?

If change is so minimal why the change then?

They explained that. On Defense, it was triggering at the start of the Fight and people were being punished too heavily because they had no time to counter it.

So they nerfed him.
