Hercules as a 7 star...when?

We have every single Summoners Choice champion in the game as a 7 star but Hercules. He was the summoners choice and now he's sitting on the bench as 7 stars pass him by. He's an amazing champ yes but is he broken to not become a 7 star? Serpent, Dark Phoenix, and others are just as broken so why can't we get him. Should he be punished because someone made an amazing Summoners Choice champion? He's getting the Quake treatment right now and just getting passed by. Even @Karatemike415 you've said he's your favorite champ. You even dressed up for him for Halloween. Will we ever get him as a 7 star?

Maybe once we actually start getting 8* or they decide to rework him because hes busted

Beerus2Strong

They should probably remove the indestructible or the pause while he's activity attacking and just release him as a 7 star.

I enjoyed playing Herc so much and still like the champ except 6 stars are less fun nowadays.

I agree. He was summoners choice. Just release him as is and let it be. Kabam's paranoia is killing Hercules and Quake!!

Probably at this year's or next year's banquet.

As I expressed in the thread I made about Quake, given the current state of the game, I don't think it would be a problem. In fact, I think it would be a smaller problem than Quake, and I don't think Quake would be such a big problem anymore.

I think Hercules has less priority in Alliance War than Quake.
Endgame events have had the Crucible format and have requested tags.
The Coliseum has requested tags.
Raid and Alliance Quest aren't exactly competitive.
What's strong in Battlegrounds doesn't really matter; in the current meta, for example, you wouldn't be able to use either of them.
Hercules still poses some risk; you need to intercept to build his damage. I think he's balanced. His immortality is strong, and his all-in is one of the best in the game, and that's very broken, but it can be reduced by AAR, so it's not so safe for Alliance War.

Kabam is probably saving him for a future sale for 1 million Units. Just wait for it…

Mikemcoc

I just really enjoyed using him and hate how he moves further and further down my roster as my 7 stars grow. Like he was summoners choice, our choice and we can't even use him anymore.

None of the champions you mentioned are as broken as Hercules lmao. Being a strong defender with counters is not the same as an attacker that basically invalidates the need for revives or skill in most instances lmao

Genuinely think they would only release him if they made it so that his immortality is based on his persistent charges and isn't usable in every fight

in a nutshell, herc may have to be nerfed basically

Kabam has made enemy health so ridiculously high that he can't just take out any enemy any time he wants anymore.

Before enemy health climbed to 7 figures or more, fine. Even a high 6 figure enemy health can be considered a counter. Like I said, this is just Kabam paranoia and making a mountain out of a molehill.

Then you must not know how to play Dark Phoenix on attack then. She doesn't just have immortality she can also heal to full if you know what you're doing. Serpent also is an amazing attacker that also cheats death. You saying that's not as broken?

@Kabam (Osaurus) Rex is that you with different id? I used to watch you campaigning for hercules during his vote and that r5 video is still one of my favourite videos of all time I feel like in process of getting a good community manager we lost one of the great YouTuber who used to complete stuff asap on livestream and always used to make a good detailed guide after that

Now that youtuber is just gone in the battlerealm and came back to make crystal opening related videos only.

I wish we get 7 star hercules someday so we will get our karatemike back once again 🤞

I can’t believe we are this deep in the thread and no one has stated the real answer which is:

Unless they change his sig ability

Some of yalll might not have been present at the time or maybe simply forgot, but kabam has outright stated that if Hercules came out during the rebalance program, he absolutely would have been nerfed.

But Serpent did come out during rebalance and they said yeah he's fine.

Why do they need to change his sig ability? Battle Grounds is the big thing right now. You planning on going down to 0 health to use that ability? I sure am not.

Because they have to design content to be Hercules proof. Not serpent proof. You obviously don't understand why Hercules in his current state is bad for the game where serpent is not.

SirGamesBond

7* herc is already in the game.

You can fight him in eop. First fight on the left.

you can fight him in monthly eq, here and there.

It already is. They have plenty of nodes and defenders that can stop Hercules. It's just the point we all voted on a champion for summoners choice…that we can't even use right now anywhere we want to. I've seen just as broken videos of Quicksilver. My goodness the Mr Knight videos yeah just as OP if you're skilled enough.

Its not just about enemy health in a single fight since his lack of need for health potions and exploiting low level revives is what makes him so good.

Sure, but if you revive dark Phoenix you don't get an insanely long period of invulnerability and unblockable

MrSakuragi

Change to 1 immortality activation per quest and release.

TikkaMasala

I’ve always thought there was an easy fix for how busted Herc is. Just have his feats drop off 1 by 1 as his immortality drops off. If you kill the opponent almost immediately after the immortality activates, you keep all the feats. But if the immortality runs its course, all your feats have become removed so you’ll need to ramp him all the way back up if you revive. He’d still be great but not completely busted to just grind out all content.

The point is he's players choice. The players chose him so they need to release him. They made him as such so be it. They can't have builder's remorse. What if players have buyer's remorse. Sorry, don't want it. Gimme my money back now. Personally I feel players r being cheated because we voted for him fair and square and kabam was the one who put him out as is.
