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!

Colossus as he has been good in dead pool movies....please add it in the SP 3 that he gets punched in the peanuts.

Old man Logan. Definitely. As ye was able to wipe out all the xmen on his own.

Mind resistance, critical activation when dashing back or holding block increasing crits, fury as well as activate stronger Regen and increasing resistance to bleed and poison while holding block.

Bleeds on special 2 and 3. Armor break in special 1.

Hulkbuster needs to see some help too, for he has a synergy with Starky, there should be something going back his way... Also, Colossus has synergy with Majik. If it did more, like increased duration of limbo, that would be cool.

Deadpool X-force please! He is not useful for most things at all even his power gain move isn’t that great on defense I think he is one of the more useless champs especially for people who have had the misfortune to pull him as a 6*

CallmelaFleur

Wow. Just reading the first page of folks who can't just go with the list provided. SMH

Alright, ready guys... here we go. OLD MAN LOGAN! We don't even get WOLVERINE as a 5* so its the least you could do. Spider-man Far from home is coming and with it more than likely Mysterio. What better time to add a synergy that goes along with the original comic book story line for OML?!?!? Perhaps even one for red skull too? I wouldn't hate it if his look got updated as well! Give him the duster, PLEASE!

How is moon knight not on the list? You can barely chain his special with his 5 hit and the utterly useless moon cycle niche that doesnt even make him any much better for the small window the full moon is up.

Groot needs it the most. Other than him colossus, iron patriot or oml

MSRDLD

If Colossus doesn’t win I am going to be so disappointed in this community

Kamala Khan

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

What a terrible analogy. In the scenario they have the DR pepper in the fridge but they choose to only offer you coke and orange juice

Magneto & Hulkbuster should be on this list

DarthPancakes

Punisher buff.
Trophy champ needs be beast mode. Drop his current synergy.
Danger sense for mercenaries tag

Synergies from old team ups open him up to other tags
Cap-villains
Spiderman-spiderverse
DS-mystics
Ghost rider-dimentional beings
Silver surfer-cosmic champs

Jeniouis

Venompool. It would be nice if he had some of Venom's buffs with Deadpools regen. Complete with a cool synergy to both of them.

Colossus

MasterFlint

Colossus needs to be buffed. He should be amazing.

"Mike send me a colossus!!"

borntohula

I think hulkbuster needs an overhaul

I couldn’t agree more. But he is available as a six star (I can prove it, ha ha) and it seems no help is coming for players that pull trash can after trash can in the six star department. Which is fine. I’ve given up on those for now anyway.

Colossus! I'd prefer a 2015 champ to get the buff so we can use those gems we got from variant. Plus, the mutant 2015 champs are lacking in that department. I might be biased because I have 2 mutant rank 3-4 2015 gems...

ManfréaBolgen

Venompool cause it would be a fairly easy fix.... you just copy venom put some parts of deadpool costume on him and give him deadpool's regen... maybe some more bleeds but not necessarily... and that's it, venompool done!

ThorrealWorthy

where is magneto?
he deserves so much more...

DonArmand

Groot

mostlyharmlessn

Savio444

I don’t mind either groot or colossus.

Stagedear85

why cant we just stick to the champs listed i understand other champs need a buff but the poll thats out dont have those champs listed, can we just stay with the champs thats listed my choice would be either Groot or KK

Tax

Had to draw deep into my comic book lore for this one.

Colossus is the only choice here

Go through the forums and you have endless posts of how bad iron patriot is. His sig is a significant hindrance.

Based on the fact that pulling IP is looked at as a punishment should be the very case he needs to be redone

Naed

Magneto.
Not this time!

You take any one of those on the list and make them better than Magneto is now (which is NOT hard) and you make an imbalance. Magneto should be crazy powerful.
