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!

we all know that venompool is on that list, as much as groot or other, but the reason they do this discussion here is not to here some dumb names, they wanna hear reasons why tha champ should be reworked...
so if youre really interested in updating youre champ you should really be much more creative, spaming wont help to convince youre champ is the best

I have both venompool and old man logan DUPED as 5* so my vote is for old man logan because my other mutants are x-23 and gambit while my other two cosmics and corvus and hyperion.
unless I get a colossus my vote is for old man logan.

Y'all realize that if collosus gets buffed he'll just be a pain in the a** for aw defense

I am scared of this too, that if he gets buffed, he wont be more fun at all, he will just be a better Defender and everybody will be just f***** up

They can do that to any other champ as well ...

But i cant see anything that would lead them to buff a Champion like colossus, who is like a living wall to an aggressive attacker, while this is more plausible to champs like venompool or Old Man Logan

Why are people calling Heimdall and Thor "god tier"? I mean I like these champs - they're good but they're certainly not "god-tier". Thor hasn't been in that category since his big 12.0 nerf. It seems people are just trying to bolster their argument that Cosmic is stacked when Mutant is just as stacked if not more.

If we are going by argument of weakest class needing a boost then it is clear that Iron Patriot needs the upgrade the most if for no other reason than to help bolster Tech. Of course he's been the poster boy for worst pull for his entire existence so maybe some of us are not ready to let go of that nostalgia.

Personally my vote is still Groot. But I'd be happy with any of the three 2015 champs getting a bump just to help make these 2015 rank up gems more useful.

man everyone, old man logan! hes already decent now(not the best of course)but cmon!

Colossus, no doubt

Spiderpig2500

iron patriot. I mean, he’s in a freaking iron man suit. He should be more powerful if you want to make this realistic. Even if you don’t want this to be real-to life, I think that he can have a lot of potential if he is buffed

Spiderpig2500

They’re all terrible

That’s why they are getting a buff

saltlamp

Colossus.

troyelricaccount2

Venom, NT and Captain Marvel don't need a buff. They're solid as they are.

Dude NT has insane damage potential. Watch KT1

troyelricaccount2

Do Magneto and IronPatriot .
Colossus at least is double immune . While the 2 mentioned are utter garbage. Also groot for starter

000Diablo666

Colossus and Miss Marvel have nothing good. So I think they will be a wise choice.

Venompool oldman Logan or Colossus

Realistic? 😂 That's what MCOC is all about. 😂

OLD MAN LOGAN
I would like them to improve old man logan, and rethink and adjust their skills. they could adjust their regeneration passive and change it and activate it as with ultron or nebula (when it reaches below 50% of life is regenerated) and 25% too).remove the claws, this character would not need them if not until his 3 rd special attack, I think that's where he should get his claws and cause bleeding and even win furies by fill the 3 bars of power to go back and keep blocking for 2 seconds to maximize the unblockable attack. There I see him convenient draw their claws and unleash their fury. during the combat it could have precision and physical resistance. and please change the animations of the special attacks, of the 3 since they are identical to wolverine and I can hardly believe that they are identical and that wolverine has not learned anything in so many years. Hahaha

If Colossus is updated, would the changes get rolled into unstoppable Colossus since they are identical base characters?

Colossus, please...

This is a great question.

That's tricky, because my thought process is extremely lengthy. I can try to summarize though, for my choice of Colossus.

1. Colossus is one of of the older champs on the list. This means that more players are likely to have him than a newer champion, so the buff benefits more players. It also means players with 2015 rank up gems could have a potential target to use them on.

2. Colossus is probably the simplest champion on the list in terms of abilities and mechanics. This means it is more likely that the buffed version of Colossus will be simpler than the buffed version of more complex champions like Howard the Duck. Personally, I'm fine with intricate complex mechanics, but not everyone is. Colossus' simplicity also means the devs have more options on buffing him in general, and that means we're more likely to get a cleaner and more useful buff. Compare to, say, the buff given to Sentry after launch, where the devs were clearly locked into his initial mechanics, which tied their hands a great deal.

3. Colossus is more likely to become a better attacker than a better defender than many of the other options in my opinion. He could get much better defenses but that's not the same thing. A buff to Colossus is less likely to make him a nightmare to face in content or on AW defense than a buff to, say, Venompool or OML. And for our purposes, "attacker" = human, "defender" = computer. I would prefer to get a buff that benefits players when they play the champ more than a buff that benefits players when they place the champ as a defender.

4. Colossus is a bleed immune champ. With node effects like biohazard becoming more common in higher tier content, expanding the amount of bleed immune champs that are also attacker-viable would be a net benefit to the players. That's mostly Colossus and Groot (and Kamala, although I see bleed immunity being slightly more valuable than poison immunity at the moment).

5. Colossus is a mutant. We've seen updates to cosmic champions (Venom, Gamora, Carnage), Science champions (She Hulk, Spider Gwen, Luke Cage, Red Hulk, Sentry, kinda). And Nebula (tech) got a decent update with the shock changes (I would argue that Storm, not really). The options include cosmic, mutant, and tech champs. Of those three I would prefer to pick a mutant to update next.

Basically, Colossus is an old, pervasive, simple champ from a class that hasn't had recent revisits (as far as I can recall) that is more likely to benefit player gameplay when buffed, in my opinion.

If Colossus ends up being chosen, what about Unstoppable Colossus? only difference is the Juggernaught helm, right? would only Colossus be revamped, or would all iterations w/ the name 'Colossus' be revamped?

and my choice is Colossus, btw.
