This year we've had one (Shulk & SGwen /Gamora bonus) . With the amount of work to keep coming new content (and characters) every month its understandable they cant bring upgrades to older champs as constant as we would like. (also Kabam aren't really obligated to do them) . I would suggest patience
1. Redesign the abilities.
2. Fix animations if needed.
3. Test new abilities.
4. Beta test (usually 2 weeks at the least).
5. Then they release.
It's pretty improbable for them to update older champs every update.
And to think of it, it's more complicated than you think with everything that can effect attack ratings.
Also it is not that difficult anyway, especially when they don't change animation. For example simple buff for magneto to make his magnetism work similar to blade's danger sense isn't difficult by any means

Some of us have rosters full of trash champs.
Our only hope is for Kabam to bring them up to a competitive level.
more like Iceman with Ice Armor. Restore the bleeds on his specials. If you wanted to go all out, maybe extend his immunity against Korg’s Rock Hard Thorns to all spiked armor, thorns, electroshock, etc. (since he is an energy attacker who isn’t actually making physical contact).
I’m not suggesting that takes only a few minutes of coding. But given that it wouldn’t alter any of the graphical display of the champ and would work within the existing framework of the champ, it definitely seems like something that could be done on a more frequent than 1-2 times a year basis. And while it wouldn’t make Mags a top tier champ, it would enhance his viability.
I suppose it all gets entangled in the questions about the “meta” of the game—does it skew things too far one way or another? But there are usually several new champs released throughout the year that absolutely trash the old meta, sometimes in ways no one expected (hello, 4* exclusion). Throwing owners of tired, old champs a bone doesn’t seem like it will irretrievably tilt the balance of the Contest.

I agree with Magneto, on the basis that both versions are so close.
