The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!
She-Hulk Heavy Speed Bug Fix [Title Edited for Clarity]
This discussion has been closed.

The issue with us is how its been handled, and the unwillingness to rectify how summoners were affected by how theyve handled it.
The issue is how they have done it randomly. Whilst clearly knowing about it. And offering no compensation for people who ranked up when this "fix" will clearly change her interaction and usability.
They’ve shown they can’t be trusted once again. Dropping a stealth nerf in the patch notes is downright underhanded. Next thing you know they’ll say backdraft intercepting and MLLLM combos weren’t intended. So much for transparency and QA. They can change anything they want and there’s nothing we can do about it.
Quake: Fixed an issue where you can hold heavy attack indefinitely.
What a complete joke this is...
It may have been unexpected, sure. Most things are until they're known. Compensation is a different story. It's up to them if they choose to do anything. I know from past responses that Tickets are for changes to how Champs are intended to perform, and nothing was intended about the glitch, but I can't say they won't and I can't say they will. What I do know is a bunch of people saw others take down one of the hardest Fights in the game with a Champ that's highly accessible, and they ran to Rank her.
Hey everybody,
We’re sorry that this update came as a surprise. The Ability to chain into a Heavy Attack from a combo is not one that is intended for any Champion, and we have never advertised it as one (except for Wasp, who has a built in short Passive stun to ensure that she is able to do it). No Champion should be able to Combo into a Heavy attack with 100% reliability, unless explicitly stated in their Ability description.
This was not something that was listed as an ability or an exception for She-Hulk. She was not built, tuned, or tested, around this unintended interaction. This was identified as an issue and resolved.
We apologize for the confusion caused by this interaction.
So i guess Wasp description mention she can chain combos into heavy
im just struggling to understand how they've carried on with the situation. the cleanest resolution (and most logical imo) is a champion specific RDT. we move on after that.
You have lost the trust of this community, and will not regain it until RDTs are given for this unannounced notice. She Hulk was falsely highlighted by your programs and Content Creators when using what is now being termed a "bug". Any champion is now fair game to be nerfed if it is deemed to be costing Kabam money without notice or recompensation. This is 12.0 all over again. Bring back memories of SW and Dr Strange anyone?
Also - 95% of champions have a difference cadence and heavy attack speed. Hyperion, Omega Red, Venom the Duck, Morningstar, etc all have slower heavy attacks. Some, as have been highlighted here, have much faster heavy attacks. Does anyone even play on the team if you can say that all champions have the same heavy attack and cadence speed with a straight face?
@Kabam Miike - where does Kabam stand on the RDT for those of us that ranked up she hulk?
I don't know if he meant to open a bunch of different cans of worms in his clarifying comments but he did. Now we're all questioning the actual built in mechanics of the game and whether they are going to be changed wholesale or if the statement will be walked back. When we're supposed to rely on those here as relays to the game team and we're hearing inaccurate statements that every champ should have the same timing, it's not only confusing but literally halting any progress in the game on rank ups until it's clarified further. This is such a slippery slope

- The problem I have with this issue is that if there was a 'defect' with the way that she hulk was playing and therefore you are adjusting her play style then technically this scenario is like a product recall and members of the community deserve a refund as this is no one else fault than those who should have tested she hulk properly when she was buffed, this play style was shown during BETA which is when you should have acknowledged this needed changing before people invested in the champ.
1. Content Creators (some official CCP members) highlighted She Hulk as a Rank 5 worthy champion
2. Nothing in the forums had indicated that She Hulk was not working as intended
3. The game team clearly knew that She Hulks current gameplay existed, and didn't warn/indicate summoners otherwise
Seeing how this negatively affects summoners has to be obvious here...I just don't see why compensation to rectify this isn't on the table.
