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!

#BuffColossus or maybe Kamala

thekemist

Tensio

Venompool and Iron Patriot

Pbishop

I don’t think we need more cosmic reworks that class is already filled with MVPs iron p & colossus Sound like the best way to go

Okoyee

Please colossus mike

Zavoevatel372

I will vote for Venompool, since it fell to me 5 *, de also in duplicate.

Str

I feel for colossus. Give the man of steel some love. He's been in just about every x men and deadpool movie... and still he didnt get an update.

I love that the community gets a say.... as long as everyone votes colossus.

Kamala khan is better meme fodder. Haha

Pouria21

Colossus need a huge buff especially considering the mutant gem 2015 sucks #buff colossus

Howard the Duck

Kamala Khan please!

#BuffColosuss

I've always had a love for both Kamala, and Iron pat. I would more love that KK's heavy furies would have a shorter time to get and not be removed by two hits, as it is very easy to get them removed. Also make them hit harder. But I love the special fury stacking.

Snail_McGavin

Ones who need some luvin IMO....
Mutant: DPX, Magneto, Colossus
Science: OG Cap, Fixit, Rhino (Sentry needs a boost)
Skill: Netflix DD, AV, BPCW
Mystic: IF, Lady Thor, Diablo
Tech: IM(and others), Vulture, Red Skull
Cosmic: Groot, BB, KK

PS... long list of bugs needing attn

DalBot

Guess I can't "lose" 🤦🏻‍♂️

Bulmkt

Pls reboot Colossus and finally make him a colossal champ

Undisputed1996

I would say venompool he is such and amazing champ and need to be buffed also with synergies venom and carnage

LordSpitFire

#howardtheduck

__Crixus__

Kamala Khan ... without hesitation. She's a freaking joke!

Cranmer00

How is MAGNETO not on the list

Iron fist needs to be addressed as well

Someone who really sucks and is the brand new colossus is

Red skull and diablo

None of these are ones I’d like to see because of my roster, but just ones that suck

Noob371

Groot

Anarchist

Groot would be my choice. As one of the strongest Guardians he is not well represented. Maybe give him a few more synergies and furies to make him the tank he is.

DalBot

Not sure why we need a 3 month process to update one champ. Why not just do what you did with Gamora and up them all?
Gamora took more than 3 months to update.
That’s not my point. You updated her without an announcement or build up. You guys should honestly be releasing 2-4 champ updates a month with how many truly terrible champs there are.

You need to prioritize those in the 6* pool first. There is nothing worse than waiting months to get a crystal only to pull a:
Phoenix
Xpool
Both cyclops
Ant man
Pun 2099
Hulk buster
Cable
Storm
Rocket
Daredevil
Rocket
Cap WWII
black bolt
Juggs
Beast
Karnak
King groot
Jane foster
Loki
Sentry
King pin
Thor rags
Drax
Rhino
Moon knight
Civil warrior

This garbage make people want to quit the game. One champ that isn’t even a 6* three months from now doesn’t mater.

I literally have a dozen of the champs on your list, two of them duped 🤦🏻‍♂️

Clydania

People are just saying collosus because seatin started a campaign. He said it's for the good of the community but i think it's just for the good of the Seatin. Join my camapign today

Sad not to see Magneto being considered this go around. He's arguably one of the strongest mutants in the marvel universe, and in game he is straight trash. It's disgusting.

If I had to vote on the champs on your garbage shortlist, I guess I'd vote for IP or KK, as they are the worst of the worst.

Just curious if the champion rework will include re-animating special attacks, or if an exception was made for Spider-Gwen. Colossus and Old Man Logan have identical special attacks to other characters in the game and this could be an opportunity for a change there.

2-4 Champion Updates a month would mean that we can't release a New Champion for over a year. This is not an easy process, takes a lot longer than it may seem. There is almost no difference between reworking a Champion and creating a new one from scratch.

We are trying to get to do as many of these reworks as we can, but I want to make sure you guys understand that doing them at a pace quicker than we have been or have laid out is not physically possible, and I don't want anybody to get ahead of themselves and think that we'll be able to update a new Champion every month or two.

TBuchanan24

Deadpool Xforce isn't even on the list smh. He's available as a 6*

The fact that he's a 6* should be the reason all that he's always in the events. Why is he so popular but forgotten at the same time?

SummonerDAZ

Venompool didn't get a venom buff like the other venom champs. Also, his regen chance buff does almost nothing. Both original iron mans have been poor since they nerfed the regen. Deadpool x force also I have as a 6☆ and the champion has 0 utility not even having healblock with the blades. Please add deadpool x force. And both daredevils

Crazedtitancat

Kamala khan.
