Only adjustment she needs is to have 0 affect on flying champs lol. If they're not touching the ground when her aftershocks hit, then they shouldn't be affected. This might be too much to program, but relax people, it's just a thought.
The alternate solution of only releasing an adjusted Quake at higher levels removes all of the negativity that would be associated with a nerf, while still maintaining the ability to use Quake again at higher tiers. There could be an argument for it being more confusing, but with Deathless Champs, and multiple other characters with multiple versions, I don't see that being a problem.
With the 5*, man. Players would have a hard time adjusting, content designers would have to design for different rarities across EQ, SQ, AW etc. Sounds like a nightmare thinking about it, and I haven’t dug deep into it …
Also, they wouldn't have to design anything around the 5* cause the 5* has been irrelevant for a very long time and would only continue to fade into obscurity if they released the nerfed 6* and kept the 5* as is.
Why would people feel this is a personal attack against the players if they're quite literally letting us use Quake once again. She's been irrelevant for such a long time now, I just don't get it really.
I agree with everything you said though.
Again, you’re oversimplifying it. Imagine you implement a node on a 5-star Quake boss and a 6-star Quake boss. The fights would not be exactly the same. Miike mentioned something about taking the Evade away. Imagine a node which punishes the player if Quake evades. The Conqueror fighting a 5-star Quake would have a tricker time fighting Quake than the Paragon fighting a 6-star Quake. This is just a hypothetical scenario but it is a valid scenario.
Best solution is to pick one of the two outcomes.
Both 5* and 6* Quake would do the same thing, hold heavy against the wall and dex let aftershock do the rest. I don't think you're quite getting what I'm trying to explain to you here, Miike literally said the changes are so they can shut her down for other game content whenever they choose to do so. Her kit would barely change, nobody would have to adjust to anything because the changes would be so small you wouldn't even notice them until you go read her abilities and compare them to the old ones.
As for the second part, I get what you're trying to say and to a certain extent I agree but that's a lot of ifs and buts that may never actually happen.
Those ifs and buts tend to cause more bugs, issues and outrage than one would normally expect.
Especially: did nobody test this at Kabam??!
When it comes to play style, I understand it might not change but one instance where Quake is dealing Concussion and the other where she’s dealing Physical Vulnerability are essentially different outcomes to the same play style. So there is an adjustment. How minor or major that is, I’m not sure. But I would prefer to play it safe if I were Kabam.
Overall, it just doesn’t seem like an optimal decision.
Agree to disagree 👍
Plus it would set a precedent that I’m not sure we want to engage with.
By rebalancing quake and magick, we introduce 2 new champs to the 6 and 7 star roster and make them available for new players to enjoy. It has zero difference from other rebalancing efforts except it has the word “nerf” attached to it. So like an absolute child you cry about the idea of it without actually thinking about what could be gained.
You do realize how ridiculous saying "we can't do this because of people who apparently can afford a phone but can't read" sounds though right? Cause I think it's absolutely ridiculous (and hilarious at the same time).
And that’s just the people who make the effort to post here. Who knows how many more are on Reddit or just not saying anything while not understanding what’s happening.
Should people do better than that? Yeah, absolutely. Is it a reasonable expectation to think they will? It should be. Will it actually happen? Probably not.
I’d rather Kabam take this hypothetical time to potentially rework quake and use it to address in game issues like re-parry, AI inconsistencies etc.
They could be 7* too if they got nerfed, no idea what's so funny about that lol.
As for the re-parry and AI issues, the rebalancing team isn't in charge of that. You realize they have different people working on different things at the same time and that if they started working on a Quake nerf it wouldn't interfere with anything other people are working on at Kabam? The people in charge of this would be the rebalancing team, surely you don't need me to explain to you what rebalancing team means correct? 💀
