If you can nerf new champs fast, why can't you buff them just as fast? Sentry

Really..holy ****. You have 3k in spam. You have the nerve to tell others what to do? I tried to ignore your spamming of this thread but you just keep going. Now play the victim...maybe if you treated people with respect and shut the heck up you would learn something. Your just absolutely miserable.
You are not a mod. You don't have any right to insist that people refrain from starting topics. You are ruining a new thread yet again. Stop it!.
When you have a "sick Champ" that can spread "sickness" by way of an Exploit, that is a large priority. That means you have to come up with a solution fast because the longer they stay in the game in that state, the more problems compound. Which means the usual protocol of waiting to gather data has to take a back seat. They're not the same situations at all. They may involve Champs that need adjustment, but wanting a Champ to be buffed doesn't become a need unless there is a reason. An Exploit would be a ticket to the front of the bus. Really don't know how else I can explain it. They're not going to leave a cheat in the game. That comes first.
OK, let's grant the point. Let's agree that fixing exploits comes first. That doesn't really deal with the point of the post. They fixed Kang very quickly. They "fixed" Carnage before he was even released. They have admitted that the Carnage fix/nerf went too far, and we are still waiting for them to address this with a buff. It shouldn't require a year of "gathering data" to buff a champ which doesn't perform as expected.
Well, it does because they don't make changes lightly. The comment, although I wasn't at NYCC so I have to say allegedly, was made long after he was released. Which means they were already looking at how he performs. Sentry hasn't even been out a day and people are wondering why they don't jump in and buff him. For the record, Carnage wasn't even released when they made adjustments. They can't revisit him if he's not even in the mix yet. That piece of insider information has been stretched all over.
The gist of it, according to the grapevine, was that they created him too OP and made adjustments before his release. Apparently they felt they adjusted him too far, and were looking towards this year to buff him. I say grapevine because that was supposedly commented by a Dev at NYCC. Not that I'm disputing it. Just that I wasn't there. However, adjusting Champs before their release happens all the time. Somehow people started calling it a nerf.
And yes, Kabam prioritizes exploits way ahead...It makes sense, but we all know how terrible they are at addressing issues that affect user game play that affects our bottom line $$$ vs. theirs. It's just down right immoral of them that some bugs sit for months and months and months.
Correct! Exploits are indeed detrimental to the game and give unfair/unintended advantages to certain groups of players if not all and thus they are given the high priority by the game team as you stated. A prime example of a game breaking exploit was the infamous infinite Venom event quest rewards glitch which was swiftly handled and dealt with.
However, in the exact same way, exploits that effect the player face like the Evade bug (yes it's still there, I just experienced this today with Thor Ragnarok and supposedly in 5.4.6 Ultron) and combo 'whiffing' among countless others I've failed to mention are still present in the game. These are exploits albeit that give an unfair advantage to a certain side; bias you could even call it. The only difference with these exploits is that the A.I can use this advantage on YOU and not the other way around like the Kang situation.
You might have noticed that I used the words 'exploit' and 'bug/glitch' interchangeably and in this case, they are since the result is the same: one side gains an unfair advantage over the other and is most certainly unintentional. But it just so happens that certain exploits are 'prioritised(?)' over others. If all exploits are treated equally, why some exploits more 'equal' than others. Doesn't make much sense does it?
@GroundedWisdom I'm in agreement that changes before release shouldn't be considered a nerf, but I'm calling it a pre-release "nerf" (PRN) for brevity.
My understanding of the Carnage PRN was to avoid an actual nerf post release. The Kabam development team don't actually like nerfs. They use them to solve problems, but they don't like them, kind of like a suppository. They copped a lot of flak from the SW, DS and Thor nerfs. They get a lot less heat by giving us something underwhelming and then buffing the champ later than giving us something godly and then taking it away.
In fact, they get some applause from buffing a champ somewhere down the line because everyone who has that champ gets that warm fuzzy feeling. I'm not sure if Sentry was the same deal as Carnage, maybe he was OP and they tweaked him down. It's unfortunate because there is a dearth of decent Science champs.
Maybe Kabam feels that he's the hero MCOC deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So they nerfed him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Sentry.
