If Kabam cares about transparency, why not show...

Kabam has been very vocal this year about increasing transparency. But no one is talking about the lack of transparency with new champion releases.
The past two months, two new featured champions were heavily hyped by Kabam Marketing and user speculation: Wasp and Heimdall. But the champion spotlights didn't show us how lack-luster these champions would be with the current meta of the game.
Showing Health points, Attack, and PI is nice, but why does Kabam hide: Crit Rate, Crit Damage, Armor, and Block Proficiency from spotlight information?
Is it because users wouldn't grind for Heimdall or buy FGMC if they'd known he had a 9% Crit rate?
Is it because users wouldn't grind for Wasp or buy FGMC if they'd known what her block proficiency was?
Probably. And if that's the case, how can we interpret this as anything other than deceptive marketing? Kabam is selling a product without telling us key details about what it can/can't do. And people are getting buyer's remorse on a grand scale because they had a reasonable expectation that the underlying mechanics were average or better. I don't expect every new champion to be god-tier. But I also think it IS reasonable to assume champions should be viable with the meta that Kabam itself has created.
Kabam should post full player stats on Champion spotlights. By not doing so, I don't see how Kabam can profess to be open and transparent with the player base. And players (like me) will only become more disillusioned.

No they haven't. That was last year, for about a month.
Its a spotlight. Doesnt mean its their full bio. They havent done it with any of the spotlights.
A brick wall that has holes showing "Emergency Maintenance". They would be transparent if not for that message.
LMAOOOOO
That's the point of this post.
Whats it going to change? People are still going to want champs. Plus all the info is made available immediately from the home screen.
If you read my post correctly it says on fgmc release. I don’t remember fgmc being released on a Monday but I’ve been wrong before.
Wait till release and refresh homescreen genious
