New Beta Testing ETA and Champs?

in General Discussion
It has been a month since the results of the Luke Cage and Red Hulk Beta were released, and it seems like it was overwhelmingly successful. Yes, people are now excited to pull a 5-star LC or Rulk, and now they have a shot at the 6* version.

Is there an ETA on the next Beta and which champs might be included? Because both champs from the first run are Science, is the plan to do two champs from the came class each time?

If you're reading this...my 5* Carnage is collecting dust and could use revamping. Please and thank you.

    unfortunately I don't see champs getting much of a buff anytime soon. These reworks are few and far between.

    The only reason kabam reworked rulk and LC is because they are in the 6* crystal. If any champs are getting reworks, it's the ones in the 6* crystal now.

    Two out of Iron fist, juggernaut, deadpool x force, blackbolt, Jane foster should definitely be in the next beta

    So weird that they ran the Favorite Champ poll for that crystal in December and received the data that shows which champs are least popular, and they still didn't choose them for these revamps.

    The Science Class was causing a severe imbalance in the game. Science is the counter to the Mystic Class in terms of class advantage but the champs weren’t up to par. If anything they should look at Joe Fix It and She Hulk next

    They should have looked at these 2 first

    Yeah I keep my hopes up for venom only because if carnage is going to get a really good buff then it would only make sense to give venom a little something as well.

    Agreed on Venom, but he might not be bad enough in the Cosmic class to get a look. Kamala and Groot need a lot more help first.

    If I was voting on the next two and assuming they would both come from the same class, it would probably be Colossus and Deadpool X-Force.

    Koala Calm (Kamala khan) an Carbage would be my vote!!!! But that probably has something to do with me having a 5* Koala.....

    We should actually give some proper credit to Kabam for reinventing these champs, even if it's fairly occasional. I know they make mistakes, but it's not all 12.0.

    They've actually done quite a number of decent revamps over time - mostly on Science champs:

    - Punisher (endless bleed ability from Open Wounds, added Physical resistance)
    - Winter Soldier (new Sig ability and ammo selection)
    - Rhino (added Unstoppable/Unblockable dash attack and auto-fury when opponent pinned)
    - Original Cap America (back in the day, they added Fatigue and Stuns; which was recently made even more effective against Mordo)
    - Original Hulk (Remember when an Unawakened Hulk was basically rubbish? Kabam added regular stuns and his 25% health 'Smash'.)
    - Red Hulk (recently turned into a mystic killer)
    - Luke Cage (from zero to hero)

    They'll never 'fix' everyone, since there have to be some good, mediocre and poor champs; but still the evidence suggests they have an appetite for change, you have to admit! Let's just keep some positive pressure on them by actually appreciating their efforts when they do.

    I agree with this, but it's unfortunate that they took so long between those initial buffs and the recent ones to LC and Rulk. Hopefully the frequency going forward is every couple months instead of once a year.

    Amen to that, brother...
