Said it numerous times when strange threads were rampant. After he was initially nerfed, people complained and they tweaked him a little and ended up making him worse. After that happened they continuously said he was fixed and they were no longer looking into him. It was a case-closed kind of thing and not a single word has been said since.
And even if Strange DID need nerfing they hit him too hard. No one's asking him to be like before but for heaven's sake make him better than he is now.
Unless you have a quote, that is conjecture. The only comments made were that they are gathering information on it and they have no plans at this time. I'm positive they never said that they're never doing it.
Not really. First of all, the only change made to Dr Strange after the 12.0 nerf was to triple the size of his health steal, which was originally nerfed to a vanishingly small value. Nothing they did after 12.0 made him worse. Second of all, they said a couple times afterward that there were currently no plans to adjust him after the second set of changes. At no time did they say he was "fixed" because that's not something they say about anything except bug fixes, and at no time did they say they were no longer looking into him because that's also something that as a rule they never say. They only say whether at the moment there are any current plans to change him, and the last word was that there were no such plans currently in motion.
He's pretty worthless now honestly. Maybe I'm biased since I had him pre 12.0.
Feel free to go through the old archives. I know what I read. If you want the proof go search through it and find it, I'm not going to waste my time digging through threads for 2 days.
They took away the percentage system so he should have got restored to his previous state.
No actually. That wouldn't have been enough.
It seems like you forgot about the timer increase as well as the reduced power gain to match it. I mean before you go around telling me what i read didn't happen, maybe make sure you at least know the details.
That's because the PG wasn't the main point or focus of the changes.
Read next time? Maybe that's why you can't recall them saying it, you're too busy posting instead of reading
It seems you're arguing for the sake of arguing. I'm talking about the nerf itself and the reasons for it. All you're adding is all-or-nothing assumptions based on comments about revising him. Your original comment was that they said they're not changing him. You implied that DNA left out the bit about the Timer. I said it's not the only mechanic that went into the nerf. We can argue semantics all evening, but you're providing false information on what the Mods have said.
Says who?
Says the actual effect DR/CR have on the current meta.
@DNA3000 I have agreed with many of your posts but this one is odd. He was an old champ when he was finally a basic but he went for 2.33 million and 2.58 million. That's Black Bolt territory. I ranked him down as did many and literally never see him in AW offense when he used to be ubiquitous. By any metric he is no longer a top tier champ and Kabam promised at the time of the nerf that the so-called god tier would remain top champs but would be brought closer to the pack. They failed to keep this promise with strange and BW and mostly with SW, though she is still pretty good. Thor is the only champ for which they honored this promise, and that was only after the boycott.
Hmm... Didn't fight Dorm with him, did you?
Edit: actually, any mystic with md was a counter to him (DS himself was the biggest counter to DS)
Dr Strange was a repeat basic, meaning that he was a basic champ at least once before. Out of all the repeat basic champions in the current arena format Dr. Strange scored the third highest cutoffs, with only Magik and Cap WWII beating him out. Besides Magik, every other repeat basic champion before him (Storm, Kamala, Magneto MN, Black Bolt, Venompool) scored significantly lower. Almost every basic repeat after him (Venom, Winter Soldier, Joe Fixit) also scored lower, with only Captain America WWII scoring higher. Even more impressively, CapWWII was after 14.0 when the arena system changed to make scoring 10-15% faster on average and occurred 16 weeks later, when score inflation on its own would add about 300k to a score of equal effort.
Accounting for score inflation (which has been averaging about 20k per week for over a year for basic scoring) and score acceleration due to 14.0, Dr. Strange's average scores represent the second highest scoring effort for a repeat basic, behind Magik. Cap would be third, followed by Storm, Venom, Black Bolt, Venompool, Kamala Khan, Winter Soldier, Magneto Marvel Now, and Joe Fixit. If you eliminate Dr. Strange from that list, the list that is left appears to be a reasonable representation of how desirable those champions are likely to be, which increases my confidence that Dr. Strange's place in that list represents his real desirability and not a fluke.
Like I said in the first post he needs to be fixed but other champs need it more.
You can see the differences in PI and everything. Under no circumstance should a maxed out 3 star be healing more than a 4 star at 4/40.
My Suggestion is for Dr. Strange to get more healing a hit. I say around 275 a hit or something at 4/40. I don't know what his regen is at 5/50 if someone could let me know that would be great. I'm just asking for a little more regen that's it. Or if you aren't gonna increase the regen have his specials scale the regen up like it used to be like 15 to 20% of the base regen a hit. It doesn't need to be anything crazy but make it useful. That would honestly probably fix the character for a lot of people.
