Community's Choice: Champion Update

Summoners!

It’s time for us to start working on our next Champion update, but we need your help on choosing which Champion will be next! We’ve created a short list of Champions we want to address, and want to put the power to decide which of these Champions will get the re-work treatment first in your hands!

Below, you’ll find a short list of Champions we’re looking to address in the future. This list is not indicative of every Champion that’s on our Radar for an update, just the ones we want to address first.

How do we get to decide?

Starting May 9th at 10am PT, and running until May 10th at 10am PT, there will be a poll on our Forums where you can vote for which Champion you would like to see receive an update. The poll is only open for 24 hours! So make sure that you’ve decided in advance which Champion you’d like to see get the update.

Which Champions are on the List?

We’ve shortlisted the following Champions based on their utilization and performance in content across the Contest, and player feedback through our many channels.

Venompool
Old Man Logan
Groot
Colossus
Howard the Duck
Iron Patriot
Ms Marvel (Kamala Khan)

If you think that a deserving Champion has been left off the list, don’t worry! This is a list of the Champions we want to address first, and doesn’t not necessarily indicate that other Champions won’t also be addressed in the future.

I really want to make sure my choice wins!

Then start your campaigning! Start discussions on why you think your Champion should be the one that others select! Now is your time to convince other Summoners to join you in voting for the Champion you want to see Buffed the most!

When will this updated Champion be released?

Our plan is to take this Champion update through the full rework process. That means we’ll take about 2 months to rework the Champion’s abilities and tuning, then put them through a Beta test. Those typically last a couple weeks, and then we’ll address the feedback that is received.

We’ve learned from our last couple Champion Beta Tests that we require a little more time between the end of the test and releasing the update to analyze feedback, data, and implement any further changes that might be necessary.

Barring any changes to the schedule, this Champion will be updated and released in early Fall.

Voting Day Approaches!

The time to decide is coming soon! Start thinking of who you want to see updated, and start spreading the word! Voting day is May 9th-10th!

From the list Groot and Venompool

But AGENT Venom should also be on the list Venom plus special forces dangerous combo

Just saying

Megakoky01

Magneto people. X men movie is coming.... Show respect for the best mutant and leader of the rebellion...... Magneto must be your name

Dominator0412

Also thanks for doing this again! Very much needed!

DukeZman

Hulkbuster is definitely a worthy addition to this list. He’s worthless. And he shouldn’t be. He can defeat and contain an effing Hulk. He shouldn’t be so meh

Mr_Wiff

Both Daredevils and Karnak need a bit of a tune up

DukeZman

Ghost rider needs Burn immunity!

KillSwitch

Hulkbuster, Magneto (OG), Rhino, and KANG!!! (KANG needs a drastic improvement for being such a rare champ to attain)

QuantumBob

Magento. How has he been left off the list? Haha. Need to buff the 2015 champs as a priority as those variant 2015 gems van potentially be a slap in the face.

The_One

It should be Groot but Colossus will win it

revanth98

Hulkbuster.. he is supposed to be stronger version of ironman...

Johnmaharaja

Would have liked to see DPX and Iron Fist on the list

DukeZman

How about the Original Avengers
- Ironman
- Captain America (OG)
- Black Widow
- Hulk
- Hawkeye

Also
- Joe Fixit
- Iron Patriot

HE is fine. He’s fantastic already. I wouldn’t say not to a buff, but it’s not needed.
OG Cap, yes.
BW got nerfed a while back. Doubt they’ll reverse that.
Hulk is fine, like HE he’s already pretty decent (HE is better). I’d take buff, but I think he already had one,
IM yes. But doubt they’ll do it with IMIW already being pretty good.

You said it yourself. All of them need a rework. Do them all

That's what we said we're doing. But these aren't easy and they take time. Designing a new Champion takes months, and this is only slightly faster than that. We're letting you choose which one will be updated first.

Sir Miike of Kabam. Your champion known as Colossus has been a failure for many moon. I offer him up as Tribute.

Venompool

Venompool is an awesome champ that should get a rework like Venom did. He deserves to be brought into the current meta of the game. He’s a fun one to fight with. Make him a spider slayer too!
