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!

Dont have Colossus so bla, i do have a Kamala Khan and Groot both duped so either one of them im ok with i use my 2015 mutant gem on magneto already so even if i pull colossus he will be useless please choose Kamala Khan or Groot. Colossus dont have any good synergies so even with a buff i dont see me using him over domino or Omega red.

Austin555555

Iron patriot and Kamala khan reworks would be awesome

HB_617

Venompool.

Captain_dk

I think it's time to upgrade Groot ,coz whenever any summoner get Groot it's like wht hell they get ,so my vote for Groot

JungleBunk

Falcon. I got him as my first 5 star and there is nothing special or significant about him.

Kirklin

Groot groot groot and groot

Austin555555

Considering I just pulled this from my 5* crystal, I already know who to vote for

Savio444

Who do you think should be buffed and why.

gp87

MAGNETO. He is one of the comic strongest villains, everyone loves him and he deserves a buff.

Austin555555

0 use besides regen when awakened. Only 2 abilities and it’s related to armor

TheLegend27

Cosmic champs just got buffs. Lots of good/amazing cosmic champs. Plus, I don't want Kamala to be good. She needs to stay awful to suit her character.

I also wouldn't mind IP or HtD getting buffed, but I don't have them as duped 5* yet. I do have a duped 5* colossus so I want him to be useful

Plato92

Old man Logan needs more regen

Savio444

Between groot and colossus for me. I picked groot because I really like the character but using him just feels slow, same with colossus. But then with a groot buff all the guardians would be useful in a team together.

Tax

Xxxdaniel3344

Colussus hes been around since the beginning he deserves it

Spidey99Iron

I think they should buff on Old Man Logan or Venom Pool

KILLMФИGЕЯ

The only champs that should be on this list are 2015 mutant champs! Cause they’re all useless and your game seems to only hand them out, instead of the other classes when I 100% any chapter in variant. Any other 2025 class has multiple great options, yet you give me 3 out 3 mutant when I finished variant

Ingi_Freyr1975

Venompool but Antman should be on the list imo

AceLuffySabo

I wanna see OML be useful.. I would love using him if he wasnt as bad as he is right now.

Cynchotic

Venompool or the duck

mikedz

Colossus. He’s been terrible since the inception of this game. The game and its champs have far evolved past his utility whereas everyone else on the list was added well after him with much more utility. I think he should have abilities similar to that of Luke Cage’s update but also on this list should be Cyclops. Another champ created from the inception of this game that is useless and deserves a proper update, perhaps similar to his brother Havok. Show some love to the leader of the X-Men!!!

Great_Nimbus1

Colossus. One of the few weaker Kabam champs that I actually enjoy using and would more if he was buffed. He can take a beating but should be able to deliver one as well. Increase hit hit damage. Fix his useless drop kick to at least be able to occasionally make contact (like Rockets extra step) plus allow it to stun when connecting (similar to Stark and Ronan) and maybe even have him cause residual damage when he gets hit to smaller champs than him. Think thorns/spikes armor. He is metal and what happens when you hit steel full force? My two cents.

Jgh80

I am groot

Clydania

Wow. I tweeted at you to do this. Was this me. Did I play like 12% of a part in this?

Necrotitan

I say Rocket Raccoon as a 6* he has less then 16k health and meh abilities at best

Hulk buster, Colossus and both Daredevils are my next votes absolutely no use to them, no offense use and no defense use. (Except OG DD's evade but that's way overshadowed)

Also falcon, old Man Logan, magneto, Deadpool x-force, cyclops, Iron Patriot, iron Man (also superior), OG cap, war machine, civil warrior, OG black Panther, storm, all 3 Marvel's, Howard the duck, Groot (as well as king Groot) and Venompool.

All of them need buffs but IMO rocket needs the biggest, he hits like pillow, has absolutely no health and next to know no attack abilities.

Corby11

I think it’s good that Kabam are updating some of these older champs all be it a little slow but I think going forward they should focus on updating under-utilised hero’s that they have released already as 6*. It takes a long time to get a 6* and although you can’t expect every 6* you pull to be a god tier champ you should be able to utilise most of them in some aspect of the game other than 3v3. Iron fist has already been mentioned in this thread and is a prime example, nerfed once by stackable will power buffs then again by diminishing returns most players would consider him useless. Personally I don’t think you should be releasing hero’s you know are this bad as 6* till after they have been reworked. You don’t want to release the likes of SW as she is too overpowered so why not address the other end of the scale by not re releasing these poorer champs as well.

Quetzalcoatll

Colossus

Cfy_9

Magneto, vulture and war machine. In the exact order. They need urgent care!! On magneto if u guys make a movie version would be great!!

RedRub

Maybe since Magneto is not on the list, there is something in store for him coming soon due to the new movie coming out? Synergy-wise or a new version or something? And, yes, I think a 2015 champ needs to win the vote so the 3->4 gems we get have more value. That leaves Groot, Colossus, and Iron Patriot. I'd be happy with any of those.

igotgame1075

Kamala Khan or Colossus need it most out of that list.
