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!

Since we aren't adding to the list, my vote goes to either Groot or Iron Patriot.

Howard is fine, btw. Doesn't need a boost. He's in line with many who are middle tier. These buffs should be for champs on the bottom of the pile.

As for the future, can we please look at Magneto and Hulkbuster? These champs are definitely on the bottom, and worse than most on the list you provided.

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

Also
- Joe Fixit
- Iron Patriot

Yeah man i think hawkeye is good didn't need that much for him but for all those 4 champs i really need a good beta test

Kabam Miike

literally every single one of those champs needs a rework, and probably about 2 dozen other outdated and completely useless champs. why just one? this is a process that should be always ongoing until every champ in the game is one that you can use for something.

Like the post says, you're deciding who's first. These are all on our list to hit.

Glad to see the list and that this on Kabam's radar. However; my 6* Hulkbuster is crying in the corner right now because he is not on it, lol.

Revenge_of_the_Nerfs

Colossus and Magneto. Think of the poor souls who pulled 2015 Mutant R4 gems.

Evangelionlovr

PLEASE GOD ALL OF YOU HELP THOSE OF US CURSED WITH 2015 MUTANT GEMS AND PICK EITHER COLOSSUS OR OML.

Repto23

Venompool!!! Would love to see an awesome rework!

Groot be my vote thanx

Doc_Manhattan93

Absolutely Colossus!
He should be incredibly more powerful and resilient than now, but it's pretty much the worst character in the game. ever since we have the possibility of changing avatars I have always proudly brought the image of Colossus as the flag of my profile, knowing that this happy day would come.

Do the right thing, vote Colossus! (think of the yellow ‘15 gem, at the moment almost completely useless, and the fact that practically all of us have this character at least not awakened)

Tin man win win

NickTheMechanic

That list seems to make sense to me but please also consider Magneto.

Fallencircus

The fact that Deadpool X isn’t even on the short list is almost enough to make me quit this game. He along with Colosus, VP and Groot are by far the worst in the game. Not to mention he is available as a 6*. That should be a large factor into who gets reworked.

Lelouch2000

I would say groot deserves it all

MasterShoc

John757

HTD!!!!!

rithwick98

The champion who are need to be a good beta test are following:-
1. Falcon
2. Groot
3. Hulk for variant 2 need some more ability
4. Joe fixit
5. Kamala khan
6. Magneto
7. Iron man both superior ironman as well for 2015 gem 3-4.
8. Captain america OG one
9. Iron patriot
10. Venompool
11. Antman without ghost syenergy with unawkened ability bcz he do lot much more in end game movie
These 11 need a good buff from beta test sorry in last our 2 boys are remains silent in backyard lolz
12. Colossus my man
13. Howard the quaker (Howard the duck)

Fitzhue

We all agree that there's dozens of champs that are currently useless in the game at about any level, but it wouldn't be feasible to update 15 champs all at once. I'm happy that old, non viable champs are being addressed.

I'd say Colossus out of that list. He has essentially no usefulness for any level of play. Bleed immunity is about it. Most of the others have at least minor Regen. And KK hits sorta hardish.

Colossus and Groot, out of the choices shown, but there are a few that seem slighted by the newer champs, also might I suggest a updated synergy for all the champions that have had the same ones since the beginning of the game, thanks for all you guys have done.
