What happened to the Iceman Beta?

Hulk OG and Spider-Man OG, their beta buffs came out two months later in the month's update and Iceman didn't come out in this month's test update.

    We should still have time for his Beta, his update isn't supposed to come out until May.

    But the kabam starts testing in the beta, 2 months in total, one month for the first tests and if it gets bad like Spider-man OG was, in the second month, the kabam makes the final adjustments.

    They should probably take another month or two and start over on Spider-Man, it was that bad.

    It could be a case that the changes to ice man weren't dramatic enough to warrant a Beta..

    That's a good point. I'd like to know how the Spider-Man buff is going, but suspect we may not until it drops officially.

    But it's good to test in the beta, the kabam increases the damage very little, then the buff will be a disappointment.
    Iceman just needs to increase the damage, he hits very weak and they will put immunity to coldsnap and frostbite.
    If it's for immunities, kabam doesn't want to improve Iceman's damage well, it won't make sense, Absorbing Man can have up to 8 immunities, it's very resistant, regenerates a lot and has a lot of damage. So I just hope if I need to use Iceman in BG, the fights don't timeout.
    Iceman is a mutant of the highest class that is the Omega class, he doesn't need to be the best in the class, but he needs to be a good champion.

    It should have the beta, so we can analyze what has been improved.

    Spider-Man's test was unfortunate, it looks like the damage wasn't increased, the only thing was adding more debuffs.

    Friday the Iceman changes should come out on the website, I hope the kabam gives an improvement from what it was in the beta version, it would be good when Iceman puts Frostbite on the opponent, when he puts another one, reset the cooldown to expire, to add more and deal good damage, similar to The Hood.
