I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little gutted about Annihilus losing to Thor Ragnarok

I've seen a lot people be excited for Thor Ragnarok buff next year and to an extent so am I, but I really wanted Annihilus to win. He's one of my favorite villains of Marvel and I love his look and origins. I know people probably didn't vote for him because he would an annoying defender but to me he looks awesome and I've always had fun playing with him on the left side of the screen. An offensive buff would have been fantastic for him.

To clarify, this is not a rant on Annihilus losing. I know it may seem like it, but this is just me sharing on how much I love Annihilus and I hope soon after Thor Ragnarok's seven star release the same kind of love can be given to Annihilus, since he ended being second on the poll. Still looking forward to play with Thor and once again I'm happy for everyone who wanted him.

Im tired of them buffing champs multiple times.

Cyclops' buff followed by Strange's is happening so I wouldn't say it's impossible, just yeah might take a while. I think they're taking as long as they are with champs like Annihilus and Dormammu because they really don't want to do them dirty considering they're multiversal threats. Also, they killed the rebalancing program completely so they can focus on buffs a little more since they have been ass this year so far, so let's see there's still hope.

I also really wanted Annihilus over Thor but I understand the desire from most players to have an actual playable Thor especially since Thor's sp3 paired up with his sig ability already allow him to do a lot of crazy stuff, so it's very likely the buff will leave him at very least in the top 10 in the skill class or at least I assume that's what most people expect after Kabam sacrificed the rebalancing program the way they did.

6 star max annhilus without any boost or suicides no synergies either he could have been an awesome nuke with a good defence potential but they choose a stupid thor Ragnarok who is already buffed once

Totally agree with you, I really wanted to anihillus won, but base players always want Thor, Dr strange or any other avenger get a trash buff every year.

This is just a tune up. Not a buff

Thor Rags was a waste of a vote .. he's been "buffed" already and they continue to miss. Why not give some other champ a go for a tune up … as much as I hate Annihilus I'd be ok with it .. Wasp too.

I mean double buffs gave us dpxf and juggernaut

Crazy4heroes

I agree. Personally I think the thrag buff was fine, so getting another was unnecessary

But this is like Jane Fosters like 17th buff. How many Gully buffs has there been?

Thor rags is going to be an even better nuke once he gets tuned up. Top 3 skill incoming

It’s a shame Thor isn’t getting a true rework with model and animations. Aside from his sp3, he’s one of the dumbest looking and moving champs in the game.

Well, one.

And Jane is only on her second.

It took them three tries to get Gamora balanced right... 🤷‍♂️

Its her second maybe 3rd drop, and guilly hasnt had more than 1 as far as i remember, though it may be 2. Sure it would be nice for champs to get buffed once and that be enough, but i think saying that buffing a champion more than once is inherently bad and shouldn't be done as a blanket term is just a little odd. Some of the best buffs have been second or third buffs, and its been happening over 11 years. Gamora is i think the shortest time between buffs and that was maybe a year and a half minimum
