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!

How about you look at upcoming events which only you are knowledgable about and buff champs pertaining to that event. Instead of like this month where you want us using OG Champs that in some cases completely suck like OG Captain America

Among the list given to community for our own choice of champion update, I personally think we should go for Colossus.

TBH, when comparing the list ofbchamps to each other, you will find that Colossus has the worse outcome.

Even the weak Groot is comparatively 'stronger' than Colossus thanks to his Pacifism charge than can grants him some Fury, Physical Resistance, and Cruelty Buffs.
He can even gain some regen from SP2 (weak regen though).
The same concept is applicable to OML.

In fact, all champs in the list except Colossus and Kamala, have some regen ability that can help them a little bit in a fight.
And regen ability is always appreciated in this game for survivability.

Iron Patriot will gain the regen ability when he is awaken.
Venompool gets his regen from his SP1 by consuming one opponent's buff.
HtD gets his regen from his signature ability (with a chance).

For Kamala, her Fury buffs are quite okay and can help to end the fight quickly eventhough almost 99% of players don't like her heavy attack mechanic to gain Fury buffs. It gives the opponent an easy opening to hit you.
Still, you can choose to gain Fury by doing specials when using her.

Venompool. His bleed damage is not half bad. It's just that he is suck when up against a bleed immune champ and champs that don't have buff ability (to consume their buff for some regen). Plus his synergy is okay too.

Colossus really hits like a wet noodle when he is not awaken. It's frustrating.
It's so frustrating than I sold my 4* unawaken Colossus a few months ago.
I'm still on the good side for not having him as a 5* yet.

And my last point, Variant.
At some point, you might 100% at least one chapter in Variant and if you do get a Mutant R3 to R4 rank up gem, and if Colossus has been buffed by then, your Mutant champs of choice is gonna be much broader.

Yes, I understand that there are some 2015 champs in the list too but do they really need the buff right now than Colossus?
I honestly wants all of them get a buffed but since we're given a choice, then I'll choose Colossus for all the reasons above.

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

I think Jane Foster has already had two changes, but in no update (it was the same as not having an update), it was still bad anyway.
She deserved to be a strong champion, so Kabam makes Domino that it's not those things, the strongest female champion in the game.

Bulldoggernaut

Venompool
Old Man Logan
Groot
Colossus
Howard the Duck
Iron Patriot
Ms Marvel (Kamala Khan)

This is your shortlist? Seriously. You have already reworked 2 cosmic champs and added some great stuff to make Gamora better. You haven't even touched the mutant class which most people agree is a garbage class until Iceman and Archangel came out. Storm, OML, Colossus, Magneto, Magneto MN, Cyclops are all basically meme trash. Frankly, this list is ridiculous. Colossus is the only one on this list that would even make my top 10 champs in need of a re-work.

Venompool Is my Vote, needs better utility and Attack, i think alot XL characters need to hit harder than they do!

DrOctavius2_2

#teamgroot all the way

KestonDecker13

I would love to see Magneto or Falcon get buffed. I definitely think they both deserve to be so much better than they are in game

I vote Hulkbuster, pulled him as a 6-star the other day as I did a rollover from Captain America (Infinity War). I took that very personally, consumed by hatred, knowing damn well he is a mold serving no purpose in this game other than being decorative, thus should've been disregarded from the 6-star pool like all other outdated rotten champions. As a matter of fact, you can delete Hulkbuster from the game, and nobody would care. He's so dull.

adramelch

Everyone on that list + for future reference: Hulkbuster, Deadpool X-force, Magneto(both), Cyclops(both), Iron Man(og), Cap(og), Phoenix, Joe Fixit, Jane Foster, Falcon, War Machine and a couple of others I'm sure I'm missing

Venompool and Ms Marvel (Kamala Khan)

Doctor Strange should be on the list and brought back to his original glory. We’ve all forgot about how much fun he used to be because he was neutered horribly so long ago. Rework DS please 🙏🏻.

Colossus and Or Iron patriot please

Collossus pls

and make him top 5 attacker!!!!

Igu4n4

Omg... IRON PATRIOT,.. he’s been useless since the day he was released.

Ig (hi Craig)

Colossus or OML. And Wolvie could use an adjustment. I’d trade SOME regen for bleed and posion resistances. And give him his hot claws for incinerate.

Creaty

Mutant: DPX and Colossua
Science: Fixit (kabam’s forgotten champ)
Skill: Netflix DD
Mystic: UC (Iron Fist has more utility than he does)
Tech: Hulkbuster hands down
Cosmic: Groot ( Even KK does more)

Mr_Nightcrawler

Now I have only Old Man Logan and Iron Patriot 5* version and I'll vote for them))

Iron patriot pulled him as a 5* a few times buff him and then i can actually use him

Colossus

#BuffColossus
Give him great block proficiency, long stuns on the special, and some Luke Cage-style Indestructible for SP3s. Also he should just hit really hard. Maybe he can stack armor and fury by parrying.

Whododo872

OML is available as a 6*, you know...
Where he at?

Woah that’s so weird
I was basically certain he was in the 6* pool.
Wow, that’s kinda embarrassing. My bad 😅

@Kabam Miike can this rework poll be a reoccurring thing? Every 2 months there’s a new old champ reworked and another one taken in for reworking? It would be a lot of work having to do this consistently, but the community would really enjoy it because we all have a lot of champs we’ll never rank up because they are that far out of the meta. Doing this would be a great way to involve the community into the game we plat and continue to stay on the community’s good side!
