When news on balancing Onslaught?

Tempest_024 · April 23

Would it be May or June? I believe it's 6 months after the champ is released. Hesitant to rank him up(or any new champ) due to possible balancing.

Bigfoot33 · April 23

He should be this month(april)

Мэджик · April 23

I just hope he doesn’t get nerfed. Already mid on attack for short matchups 😣

No he isn’t? For short matchups just go directly for the sp2 melt, or build sp1 + sp2 and they melt super fast lmao. He’s not a nuke like Hulkling or Juggs but he finishes fights pretty quickly with a close to full yellow bar

Nightheart · April 23

It'll come out this month itself

xLunatiXx · April 23

This week I believe

Batman_bruce31 · April 23

Please don’t make me regret my decision. I have both a 6R5 Ascended Onslaught and a 7R3 Onslaught

EdisonLaw · April 23

This week probably

Rayven5220 · April 23

Leave Onslaught alone Kabam! 😖😡

Yuvraj_267 · April 23

I may be delete mcoc if kabam do that, i never want to onslaught be nerfed. Such a great champion, the only mutant who bypass kitty overall and kabam nerfed him, it is unacceptable for me and i shall go to rage mode if kabam do that. He is my favourite champion released in this year and second favourite mutant after archangel.

Why?

Why?

Because Kushala and Chee’ilth were released in November 2023 and have already had their rebalance. Onslaught and Maestro should be next.

they just need to fix his stupid AI lol ... or maybe that's everyone's AI in general but Onslaught specifically seems like he just waits for the single most inopportune time to throw an SP1 after you've spent days baiting it ... you have to be prepared for that thing or evading it is no bueno ...

Happens just too much .. I'm sitting there trying to be ready for that stupid SP1 and then the moment I least expect it .. BOOM he throws it lol

Other champs have similar AI. Ex: Werewolf by Night, Killmonger, etc

It’s pointless going straight to a sp2 with like 3 neuros so you need to do sp1 and with constantly having to pause your neuros he takes a while against non skill defenders, and even against some skill defenders he still takes awhile like killmonger with his high crit resistance and nick having two lives.

Kabam hasn’t nerfed him yet, nor would a rebalance make him unplayable or significantly less dominant. Wasn’t the whole point of the rebalance system to try to account for champs like Kitty and Herc that make their way through to playability before their full power is realized? I’m pretty sure I remember people saying that Kitty would have been toned down if the rebalance program had been started earlier, so I don’t see the big issue in balancing a champion that most would argue bypasses her.

I go straight to sp2 for champs like Nick and Bullseye sometimes and be nukes them in under 60 seconds. But the sp1-> sp2 rotation makes everything pretty easy. 7* have maxed combat power rate so it’s easy to build right under a sp2, pause and throw sp1, combo and pause into sp2, and they’re dead. 10 seconds pause + relic makes it easy to keep the neuros up

Is Onslaught even good against Killmonger? He gains power from debuffs instead of shrugging them which means Killmonger gains a ton of power

Well sometimes a few neuros isn't enough so I use a sp1 first while they are paused

It doesn’t matter, there is a certain segment of this community that is convinced any sort of nerf is unequivocally ALWAYS a bad thing. Absolutely childish behavior IMO but whaddya gonna do

How does this relate to when rebalancing takes place? 🤔

This shows the order in which champs were released and the rebalancing also happens in order of their release.. as seen in the pic Onslaught was released after Kushala. Her rebalancing info was released in March so Onslaught rebalancing info will be out next.

Rudolph_Raindeer · April 24

Ok Thanks for clearing that out for me

EdisonLaw · April 24

The last balance update was also on Wednesday of the last week of March. We may see it this evening

Hendross · April 25

Nerf him to the ground and take Serpent, Defender, and Bullseye with him. The latest defenders are sucking the fun out of the game.

I think he means destroyer

Tempest_024 · April 26

Thinking the news might be out next week? Considering we have the event quest open until May 8th.
