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!

Idc who the other one is, but one of them MUST be Groot. Plus hopefully they might redo his clunky attacks.
Edit: lmao found this somewhere. I guess we could spread the message

Second edit: this is not intended to send any real life political message, nor convey my thoughts on the 2016 election (so don’t ban me pls kabam)

I think this is an awesome idea and that the team at kabam knows how outdated champs are creating a lot of animosity for end game players pulling them as five and six stars.

That being said @Kabam Miike I think that limiting this vote to characters that Kabam picks is essentially an attempt to fool us into thinking we have some say in this. There are so many champs that have been brought up over the years (not just in the last 6 months) that are in desperate need of changing. Pivotal characters in there respective class in mcoc and genre from the comics to the big screen that are being left off the table and we’re instead presented with cannon fodder to pick between (groot and colossus excluded).

So at the end of the day we’re not allowed the ability to choose a character that we want, but instead just pick the least worst option. If you’re going to be getting to all these champs eventually, just fix all the champs you’ve listed and release them when they’re ready instead of when you think we want them. Truth is we don’t want 75% of those champs anyway. If you actually had us vote on what champs the community thinks need to be reworked you would already know that.

Thanks,
J0N is COOL

Iron Patriot for sure

_Rogueyy_

I'm going to have to go with venompool or old man Logan they seem too unique to not be a good character

CoffeeCakes

Let’s be honest Groot is the most needed, he has no unique synergies partners and all his abilities are trash. He has bleed immunity which is useful, but his sp 1 is trash, sp 2 damage and regen are trash and sp 3... just everything about it is trash. Then his awakened ability gives him a chance to gain physical resistance with pacifism. Trashhh. So unreliable, so weak, no utility and barely even good in defence any more. He is just trash and I don’t know about you but he is a favourite of mine in the mcu and as many people will know him better than colossus, Howard, Logan or venompool he would also benefit the most in popularity.

Raganator

I'll go with KK because of her synergy with CM.

That said, this is still a letdown. Revamps should be happening more frequently. Now we get one single rework that might be ready by fall? It also suggests that Kabam has ideas for these champs already. Just start working on them already!

Tarhundas

Old Man Logan and Kamala Khan!

Tawfikk

Venompool or howard the duck

migueldutran

Old man Logan, venompool or ms Marvel Kamala khan

belli300

Magneto you guys missed the mark again!!!! Seems like a trend lately good job kabam

Stormer551

#Colossus. Seatin is right, out big boi needs a buff XD

Cptnkillr_89

How about a mystic like Jane Foster or Iron Fist.. also not a single science champ on the list. Kabam is showing 0 love to the mystic/science side of the game. Cap WW2 could use a upgrade.

JacksonH

1) Iron Patriot
2) Magneto
3) Old Man Logan
They are in desperate need of a buff.

piroicristi

Colossus

GroundedWisdom

It's virtually impossible to please everyone. Lol.
Side note, I've seen the suggestion on here to vote for the next buff. Kudos for taking it. It was a good idea.

allinashes

Of the list my choice would be Colossus. I'd say DPX and Hulkbuster should also be on the short list. Venompool, OML, KK and maybe IP are better than those two. Not by much granted, but DPX and Hulkbuster are ridiculously bad and also 6*.

Fleirs

Groot deserves !

Axemus

Old Man Logan please.

Bignell77

Please let Kamela get it, EVERYONE has her in some rank lol

GarryDK

Deadpool x force for sure.

Maara

GROOT please !!!

Roy306

colossos should be improved. He has been around since the beginning and he is currently to use nothing. he deserves it

_Rogueyy_

Venompool legit has nothing going for him besides his rad costume

sfu_korax

Colossus, groot, howard the duck (and magneto, although he is not on the list) . Really hope there is a chance to rework 2 champions instead of 1 like every other time...

Restal

I vote Colossus, Iron Patriot, and Hulkbuster. I feel like the iron champs need to be more diverse than classic Iron Man.

Fhfjghhggggjfhfjg

How is hulkbuster not on the list?

Gabriel_140307

Groot or Kamala, and Jane Foster should be on the list :C

LordRaymond3

Groot and Colossus. Groot is the most powerful guardian hands down. Don't believe me, rewatch GotG 1. And everyone knows Collossus needs a rework :-). I also think Magneto should be on this list... he would be Colossus replacement if I could only choose 2

HenriqueSCCP

From that list Kamala is the best, watch the videos of Swedeah L, she is a champion for long fights, the others on the list that are garbage.
