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!

Helicopter_dugdugdug

U need to give us a use for 2015 mutant gems . How can u overlook this? Why do we have this poll? If u see these champs totally not performing, update them all . Clearly u have seen the data

Tedders

groot and ip but the skill class needs some love

MasterSmoke

Take the armor break off Iron Patriot & add a fury buff & he’s good to go

Disbanded_pens

Venompool. Definitely. He's a fun character to play, just underpowered. Given that he's partially based upon Venom, and that Venom has had a large overhaul, it'd be silly to not apply this process to VP.

PunishThem

Colossus

Wildcreed

Dpx or collosus

May I suggest that champs who are available in 4*, 5* and 6* versions be prioritized for rebalancing ahead of champs who are not yet available in the 6* pool. Creating excitement about 6* opportunities is what gets everyone excited, and 99% of the excitement over the recent Gamora buff came from all the players who have her as a 6*. At the very least, consider introducing all the rebalanced champs into the 6* basic pool. Rebalancing Champs who lack a useful heavy attack mechanic would be another approach that most players would appreciate.

Champs in desperate need of a rebalance-
Punisher 2099
YellowJacket

Rafou

Magneto
Colossus
Iron patriote

Colossus would be my vote. Adjust his defense to gain more buffs (defense up, etc) and then his attack should go up the more buffs he has. Let them stack indefinitely. This would make his S3 deadly if you had enough buffs going.

Slux83

Colossus and magneto

Gojuanes

Deadpool Xforce for sure should get a rework/update

BradEnder

Please update my boy colossus. He's been shafted for far too long. #savecolossus

DanveerKarna

Voting in favour of : Groot

Nojokejaym

Iron patriot

_73

Colossus for sure as it is extremely unjustified to have him so weak. Other is Groot as he is one of the most loved character but not greatly powered up in MCOC

Imploder555

They should redo deadpool xforce. Hes trash for a deadpool.

Imploder555

Old man logan should change out of the list though.

TacoScotty

I vote for a mutant round - choose two of Magneto, DPX, and Colossus

LordBeaverbroke

I'm going to vote for Colossus, As he is the most deserving of all of the champions mentioned. Kabam has already tried to make him better with synergies, and that has not worked out. Colossus was one of the original champions in the game and his mechanics have outdated, like many other champions who were released early on, His age is showing. As he is the champion on the list who is the oldest, he is most deserving of the rework. But that is just my humble opinion.

Colossos pretty old an doesnt change much

KaiNosy

From this list Logan or Colossus

For the next Phoenix and Magneto

Psych_Lord

Groot

Guedes_96

Iron patriot!!!

xxxsidewinderxxx

In order ........ 1) Colossus 2) Iron Patriot 3) Groot. Colossus has been in the game the longest out of all the champs and his armor up is just plain useless in the state of the meta now. The other champs at least have some utility that can be useful at times.

Brainimpacter

vote for a 2015 champ so you can use 2015 rank up gems on it,

DrZola

If we are restricted to that list, my preference would be the 2015 champs—they are longest suffering and actually would make the variant gems more valuable.

So that’s Colossus, Groot and Iron Patriot. Take your pick.

Dr. Zola

DarthPancakes

Magneto would be my first pick
After that I would prob pick
Colossus
Iron fist
Jane Foster
Groot
Iron patriot

Also....could people stop suggesting champs that aren't on the list. Just a waste of space. They already said other champs will get an update ...just not at this time. It's like offering a guest coke or orange juice cuz that's all you have in your fridge and your guest says they want Dr. Pepper. LOL
