Potential Delay to v44.1 Launch

We are currently working through some issues that may affect the release window of v44.1. This means that the update may not release on Monday as it usually does. We are working to resolve the issue holding us up as quickly as possible, but will keep you all updated, especially if the delay results in any changes to the content release schedule.

    That would be a W for me tbh
    I mean, if Onslaught wasn't a thing and I wouldn't save my shards till he gets in the Titan

    With all the negative feedback about a community champion I would be extremely surprised to see him not rebalanced for the better.

    In his current state, he has 1 use: arena.

    Got one of those and one Lady DS. Not exactly at top of my list. One more on way and it’s white knuckle time.

    Of course. However, I think we’d be hard pressed to find many excited to spend 20k Titan shards on arena fodder.

    That's not necessarily a guarantee. Kabam isn't just going to take community feedback on whether or not a champion gets buffed. They're going to look at the data first, and if Gladiator is missing his targets on paper, that's what's going to get buffed first and foremost.

    True. He misses his target luckily since he is not used and sits on the bench

    You never know. I remember people had expectations for Adam Warlock to get tuned up and instead he was hitting all his metrics just fine according to the rebalance report.

    I think Adam is a different case. He was amazing already, but some minor updates would’ve made him even more amazing (stun immune when in pod, passive AI control). He hits like a freight train and he has some great utility so it was fine. I can’t see Gladiator hitting any of those marks well tbh

    That’s why saving the Shards often doesn’t pay off. Just 6 new while 6 old rotate out, so majority (12) stays the same.

    Gladstone isn’t that bad plus he’s getting buffed, I opened my first titan earlier and got Jabari panther. Saved it for a week after beating necro just to get Jabari. Srly kinda bummed about it.

    Its no different than rolling the dice on a 5/6* featured back In the day only to pull a groot or Cyclops. Can't all be the best.

    Maybe…however. given Jax and Miike’s responses to another Gladiator complaint thread my hopes are not high. The team apparently operated under a “no more Hercs” mandate and, unfortunately, succeeded wildly.

    Usefulness. Niche countering. Immunities. Niche uses. Any of those aspects incorporated into a buffed kit (if he gets one) is fine by me. I have my Herc. But Moondragon, Adam, LDS were deemed fine unbuffed (justified in Adam’s case). So the trend is not necessarily in Glad’s favor.
