Nerfing Hercules is the best thing for the game

Asking for nerfs 5 years ago was like a death wish but I feel the community is better than ever and more open to these things.
I have Herc and I use him. He's broken and makes the game less fun and the devs have a hard time making content and he brings down the value of every other champion in the game.
- Reduce his Immortality from 9 seconds to 5 and it can't be paused
- Lower his Feats of Strength stacks from 12 to 5
- Special Intercepts no longer give +2 precision or cruelty
He will still have good utility. Stun immunity, immortality, true sense, bleed/poison resistance, and solid damage, but he won't be broken.
Nerfing stinks. We worked hard for these champs and it feels like a rip off to have them adjusted, but the revive changes are going hurt us a lot more in the long run and Herc is the reason why. Is it better to keep Herc as is but have to pay money to clear content or is it better to have him balanced and we get to keep things like revive farming and get more reasonable content?
I think it's time the community got together and pushed for a balancing and make Kabam promise to never release another broken champion again. Any Herc nerf would of course come with rankdown catalysts, gems, and sigs.
What do you say Kabam bros? Why or why not?

To add on, you do not have to use Hercules. If you don’t wish to play him, simply don’t play him. It takes nothing away from you (unless you play AW and BG’s hardcore) for other players to use Hercules.
Jinx
Sorry, but I ranked him up because he was busted. To nerf him now would be an unfair punishment to me through no fault of my own.
Never forget that they are a for profit organisation.
All their decisions revolve around increasing revenue from all possible sources.
If this topic gets a reasonable traction then u (and all of us) will most probably end up with nothing in both hands instead of nothing in one & something in the other.
Also I don't know how long u have been playing this game but such content has always existed & will continue to exist irrespective of any nerfs. By asking for this u're just going to make it even harder than it's supposed to be.
There is a reason that both EOP paths have a switch node in between. That design choice is intentional.
They don't have a problem with players spamming revives with Herc in EOP......They actually want us to spam revives with Herc in EOP, but revives that are acquired through units, not through 3.2.6
If Herc gets nerfed, the content design will still remain the same as it always has been. U'll still be required to spam revives to clear fights. It's just that u will need more revives & a lot more health potions. A win-win for them but a complete loss for us.
Sadly, I know that this is just echoing the opinion of some YouTubers, which they should be more mindful of.
I fully agree with everything @AMS94 said in their comment.
Just wanted to comment on something the OP has said, that Herc makes content less fun. Herc makes soul crushing content tolerable. I would not have even attempted EOP if I knew that I would have to suffer through double the horrific fights.
This opinion, of Hercules should be nerfed, I heard from other Youtubers and I thought it was far from the best solution then.
As we were told, Hercules won't be nerfed.
Why? Because they understand that would make a good portion of the community angry enough to leave.
They had considered it with Kitty Pride, but the damage was done.
You saw how much the community was outraged by the 3.2.6 thing, right? Could you imagine if they said "we're toning down Hercules' damage and nerfing his immortality phase to where the countdown goes down even if you're landing hits"?
It would be on the same level of 12.0 in terms of outrage. I'm just saying it now.
That's why they won't tune down Hercules.
And credit where it's due, I'm fine with that. I like his playstyle, his damage, and I like having a safety net.
Also this nerf idea just sucks lol
Hercules is the way to save that revive spam.
