No, the removal of the leadership synergy which allowed for no damage block teams was to stop people from taking the same teams to everything in the game. And it was the right decision. The SW/Strange/Thor nerf was because they were breaking the game. Blade is not breaking the game. Still salty about the fact that they promised the nerfed champs would remain top champs, just closer to the pack, and have yet to make good on that promise with Strange. BW is also mostly useless now. But all the comparisons to Blade and SW are absurd.
And nobody says he is overpowered Starlord can’t even do this.
The changes came because they came to an impass with content. They couldn't create content under the old system that those Champs weren't able to cut through. As a Dev, when you lose control of your own product, that's design suicide. The fact that so many people used them was an earmark of the deeper reasons for the changes. Their Abilities coupled with multiplicative percentages and Synergies created a strength that literally couldn't be matched. The fundamental elements to any Champ are Health and Attack. All other Abilities center around them. Those Champs had Abilities that left no room to compete for any viable future content, and therefore no room for growth. Which is why it wasn't only the Champs that changed. It was the old percentage system as well.
They are very cautious not to create that situation again, and the Champs now may be strong and may be "God Tier", but they're not unstoppable. They have balances, counters, and limits.
There's always going to be a God Tier people scale. Popularity is not the reason they nerfed the old Champs. That's inevitable, and it also teaches them a great deal about what they put out. It's not likely they would try and abolish that IMO.

Again, people are saying kabam wanted ppl to use diff champs, but then they made Blade how he is..
He is the most used champ in the game right now in AW if you have him. This is every war, I’ll take pics of the next war.. like I said.. in three months there won’t be a single AW team without him.
Everyone knows he’s god tier over everything. He’s ranked top in game.. he has a class advantage not only on science, but mystic.. then sprinkle in some villains lol. Danger sense counters everything, and when that fails he has some of the best regen in the game. Not to mention auto bleed on blocks... lol
My reason for this post was wanting kabam to be consistent. They told us they don’t want every team to be the same and use all same chars, they obviously failed that with blade. Now what?
Blade is better then pre 12.0 ds imo though.
I agree with others though, unless you had SW / Thor / DS pre 12.0 and actually did various harder content with them and compared them to other champs for similar content, you really have no idea how great they were. My understanding is some of the initial clears of LOL were done with SW which led to the Dull effect being added for awhile. We moved to flat values probably at least partially due to crit synergy teams with SW. They limited armor breaking into the negatives due to Thor/BW. Content was constantly being made to counter those champs or things like block teams. When the games reaches that state is when you have a problem. Blade they counter with time by introducing mix of champs without villian/mystic. Mercenary and Thanos Army type tags may pop up more in future
because it allows them to dominate AW as a result of these trinity teams. but kabam nerfed SW and DS hard cause they didnt want to have like 2 or 3 champs dominate the game and now we are back to square one. not hard to understand that it unbalances AW a lot because of this.
with season 2 this affects rewards in the end.
so let us fight fire with fire!
constructive criticism : unnerf sw and ds so we can even the battlefield
These images are a little bit misleading though aren’t they , if you quickly scanned over the pics (like I did the first time) you would think it’s a normal battlegroup , but there are eleven members in the battlegroup and 3 of them seem to have exactly the same name as someone else .
Do you remember what AW was like before the Trinity? It was an AW map filled with mostly the same defenders, dominated by mystic champions. Having those defenders allowed people to dominate AW. Pretty much the exact thing you're criticizing the game for now.
I also don't think you realize how insanely powerful Scarlet Witch and Dr. Strange were before their nerfs. They dominated in every form of content, not just AW. Undoing their nerfs wouldn't be making the battlefield more even. It would just shift the unbalance elsewhere.
Side note: I don’t have Blade yet, but I’m not about to complain that people who do have him use him. It’s ignorant and childish.
It’s not misleading, this is every war... I can SS every war we face it’s the same exact champs. There is no argument of DS/SW being better or not, what we’re saying is the reason they were nerfed is because of how unbalanced they are to the rest of the game and how every AW lineup is exactly the same..
In 3-4 months every single AW team will be Blade/Stark/GR.. they should fix this before the game of 100s of champs gets down to one champ and buffing him with 2 OP champ synergies.
