Magik tease

I think they just teased a new rarity of Magik? (buff or nerf)

About time we had a mascot for bg store like UC is for AW store
Magik of all characters doesn't need a second form, especially when the limbo sword user barely uses her sword outside of special attacks so that needs working on mainly
Teasing who again? 🤨 I wonder why they dropped the roadmap today. 🤔
It's one of the things with new champ releases that make the game so stale, you literally have the character that exists already so...change the original one up than waste development time on a glorified reskin when so many Marvel characters just are not in yet.
It's purely cuz of her ability to powerlock.
Her damage is not unavoidable, and we have way more busted defenders now. If magik gets released as 7*s, it's likely we get more science defenders who can counter her.
The fact that you're talking like current meta defenders such as Serpent and Bullseye are "way" more busted when they have more counters who can easily finish with 100% proves exactly my point, people underestimate how ridiculous that limbo damage, which is unavoidable for 95% of the champs in game, is. Have you ever fought a Domino without a tech immune to aar and lost 50% to crit failure alone? Well, Domino's crit failure doesn't scale with modified attack, Magik's does, if that doesn't put into perspective how ridiculously broken the limbo damage is then I don't know what does, it is about five times worse than crit failure damage lol.
Even champs with high energy resistance aren't safe if Magik gets released as a 7*, you would literally need someone with ridiculous regen like Nefaria, how many Nefarias do we have in game? Even then, highly unlikely you'd be able to outregen the limbo damage with Nefaria.
It's broken and unfair but we've had bullseye who pretty much would take nearly 50% of your health from all the block and bleed dmg you took from that sp1 and dex (when he was initially released).
Domino as well without a tech is suicide
I also discovered attuma the other day when I used a shocker against him in battlegrounds I KID YOU NOT I LOST OVER 50% OF MY HEALTH FROM THORNS. I really wonder how players were fighting him before NTW and dazzler came out JEEZ
Point is, if Magik were to be re-released, they could tweak her a bit and add a new line of text with a RARE mechanic that can mitigate her limbo dmg (defensive threat) and design future science champs with that mechanic (eg debilitate for Enchantress, atrophy for maestro etc).
Kabam can sell their 5/5 defender with very little counters to which can terrorize us for 6 months and kabam can make money of counters.
Kabam makes money = The game I love continues
We would likely had many counters for magik if she was 7*. It is easily a manageable issue. Daar champs work against her. Or they could make another niche counter (they aren't shy to do so nowadays) who has +1000000000 energy resistance if you fight a mystic champ tagged as X men.
As for the energy resistance part, we would need at the very least 3 science champs for that to be a valid argument, so until we do she just can't be a 7*. Then there's the infinite power lock situation of course.
