We are aware that the Twitch Drops campaign started late and that as a result most players did not receive most, or any, of the drops. We will make it right, and are currently looking into the possible options, please stay tuned.
Thank you for your patience

I don't see why kabam would wanna create more problems by changing that suddenly and alienating a certain player base.
Cause, at the end of the day outside of 1% players at the top, we haven't even opened a titan crystal, sometimes you want a featured 6* champ, and can open 30 featured crystal and still nothing.
And there are certain champs wanna lvl up and play more in my roster, but I can't cause now content is also champion specific. So does it even matter here.
Also, I don't get the certain player base crying herc is op and broken and boring why would you play that, want it to be nerfed so that it can be released as 7 star, what is this logic ?
The community isn't going to change.
(Btw why is Doom included here? He’s fine as is just gonna wait with HT on when the contest can handle their 7star power level)
Also Galan actually passed the rebalance process so I don't think why you included him.
I don’t know about League of Legends, but since you mentioned Fortnite, that is currently maybe the top and most profitable game in online gaming, players don’t buy weapons or any other competitive advantages.
Yes in Fortnite in game weapons/abilities are constantly getting rebalanced (changed to stronger or getting nerfed), but Epic games doesn’t sell this weapons/abilities, so they aren’t financial harming players when they do so.
They sell skins and cosmetic items, and EVERY SINGLE TIME they have ever changed anything they sold, they gave the option for refund to any player that had purchased these items.
And here is the difference with MCOC and the big question:
Kabam sells champions that players buy with money, are they willing to provide refunds to any player that purchased the champ is going to change/get nerfed ?
For example, I bought 6* Hercules for exactly 100€, is Kabam willing to refund these money if they nerf him?
The answer is NO.
And this is the exact reason they now have the rebalance program.
Because now buying a champ comes with a warning and a high possibility that he is going to get rebalanced and possibly get nerfed, after your purchase without any compensation or option for refund.
They can’t do that for older champs, that people have purchased.
Or to set it more correctly they can, but they will have to suffer the economical damage that will come with that.
Whether by giving out refunds, which is very unlikely, very difficult and practically impossible to implement after all this time.
Or they will ruin their reputation that will destroy players trust in the company, leading to a huge downfall of purchases and game’s revenue.
Yes Kabam would like to nerf Hercules, but they also realise that this will ultimately do more damage to the company than the any gain it would offer.
They played with that idea, they “tested the waters” with Mike’s posts about nerfing Hercules, and they saw that the community uproar would be at least on par with v12.0 uproar, when the game was nearly led to destruction and literally saved by the bell.
As it seems they will go the way of limiting Hercules efficiency in “big” content like they did in Necropolis, and banning him from next rarities like they did with Quake.
And ultimately from a business perspective that’s the best route to go, and since we are talking about business, that’s the most profitable way to deal with the issue.
They aren’t dumb, nor they are going to risk their business over nerfing a champ.
Things in an online game can go south really fast, and Kabam always have that mind after v12.0.
A very bad steering of the wheel and you are soon out of business ☠️
That's why the Champs as well as the entire system were changed.
If Kabam wants to rebalance Hercules or Quake, be our guest and introduce the rebalanced 7* Hercules and the rebalanced 6*/7* Quake.
Win/Win solution for all 🙂
As sad as it would be, I would rather Quake go obsolete as 5* than have her nerfed.
Ppl say she's broken but no one is using her for end game content like Necropolis.
They say she's not meant for end game content but would dominate BG, AW, and AQ.
Yet how many ppl you see actually use her 5* version for these contents.
Personally, I think a lot of ppl r just jumping on the band wagon of saying she's broken.
Once upon a time maybe. But not any more.
Monetisation doesnt mean ****. And youre only kidding yourself otherwise. Folks in LOL drop hundreds of dollars in skins for champs who can very well get nerfed out of relevance if they are too powerful. And plenty of people have FTP accounts in this game that are perfectly powerful themselves.
So, suck it up buttercup. Its a competitive multiplayer game. That means nerfs have to happen sometimes. Hopefully you’ll survive the harrowing experience.
But because she has to eat a small nerf you would rather never play her again.
Is this a joke? Are you joking? In what world does this make sense? You have an irrational fear of something that’s incredibly simple and normal across hundreds of multiplayer games. Get over it.
As for Herc, I say increase boon of the gods timeframe, and make him unable to gain more charges while Boon of the Gods is active. Then just put a cap at how long his immortality can run. His ramped up damage is untouched, just slowed down how quickly he can get there in shorter fights slightly. And with his immortality capped at X seconds the “Just Herc it” aspect gets reduced while still being around for players.
let's get the obvious stuff out of the way. this is their game they can do whatever they want they can give herc a borat mankini then shut it all down the next day. i'm also ok with a rebalance to magik and quake so they can come out in higher rarities since it's been such a long time that they've been usable.
that said, i don't like the precedent that this sets, which gives them more ammo to perhaps make hercules-esque champs that they rebalance later. i know another herc is the last they want, but game-health didn't seem like much of an issue when they were relatively giving him away in july '22.
And yes, champion acquisition is monetized. But the vast majority of players do not spend. What's their excuse? And last I checked you could buy champions in League of Legends with Riot points. Champion unlock is monetized in LoL, just as champion acquisition is monetized in MCOC.
Herc might never get added and possibility Kitty? But other than that, I could see most of the 6* making their way as 7* when the roster is developed enough
Buffs and nerfs are natural balancing leavers to any modern game. They are not something to be feared like the ghost of Christmas Future!
So yes, Magik and quake are broken, and I hate quake even I’m a good quake player, it’s just boring.
I don’t see that for Magik at all. She’s gonna have some great match ups, but others where it doesn’t work. I see her scenario right along the lines of OG SW. Kabam held her release up so long that **** was irrelevant. Needs QS to synergy to have solid use. FAM has more utility than Magik and look at how he can control power. Voodoo’s power control is right up there with Magik and he’s a 6* that’s barely used. Even SM2099. Now WT can cycle power steal and unblockable specials. There’s plenty of ways of dealing with power that could choose over Magik in some scenarios. She’s a great champ and a fun character in general, so hope they come to their senses on her soon. She’s not Quake lol.
