Nerfing champions because they outdamage other champions is very shady - especially when we spend money for the CHANCE to get and dupe champions. It would be kind of ok if we were able to buy champs outright of had a system in place to rank down champs. Please reconsider these nerfs. It seriously impacts our ability to make good rank up decisions. Resources are still very hard to come by. People have spent a lot of money on this game to get awesome champs. Please, I urge you to make rank down tickets a permanent fixture if you're going to be rebalancing from now on.
This is completely separate from the fact that the kinds of processes Kabam is implementing now, with regard to things like post-release balancing passes, wasn't invented by Kabam. They've been around in the game development industry for long enough it is entirely possible the guy who came up with this great idea has already died of old age. Kabam isn't coming up with new ways to screw with the players, Kabam is in fact decades late to the party.
In fact, it was *the players* who were demanding that Kabam do this kind of thing, way back when Sentry was released (if not earlier). The idea was that Kabam wouldn't revisit a champ until enough data had been collected for the long term performance of a new champ, and it was the players that said that was too long: new champs should be revisited relatively soon after release and tweaked if the data said it should be. The problem is tweaking works both ways: if the data says a buff is warranted then that will happen, but if a nerf is warranted then that will happen instead. Players cannot demand that the developers only buff. That request simply isn't taken seriously by any dev.
Balance changes starting in OCTOBER
These changes will be made BEFORE the Champs come to basic crystals.
Kabam set a standard, and immediately changed said standard.
End of story.
You are wrong. They are wrong.
People complaining about spending money on the Cav crystals - it's not like you're not told that Cull could be looked at.
Also it's not like he's the only guy you're getting from the Crystal - don't tell me you won't be happy pulling a Corvus or a Domino or a Ghost from the Cav Crystal as well.
Also if you'd R5 him over the past month or so - again - you knew a review was coming, it's on you to impulsively rank him up without waiting a bit.
Kabam isn't the to be blamed for everything you do in the game, c'mon now.
I'm starting to think you guys are literally the actual biggest villain hiding behind the scene of this game.
When you compare these two characters you can see a lot of people using torch way more (both offensively and defensively) in AW , AQ , you see a lot of content creators using him to tackle different parts of the game. On the other hand Ronin is my particulately well liked but you see him rarely making an appearance or being used in wars, quests , even in arenas. Even in YouTube and other social media it’s hard to find recent content with him (other than when he was released)
Also in this particular case I believe he is possessed by way less people than Torch, Cull or even Ebony since he wasn’t as hyped as the others.
Again, I would love for Ronin just to be nudged (maybe just a bit more bleed damage, or a bit more AAR ) but more than that , I ask for clarity in the decisions
Thank you
If you look at the situation without emotion you'll see the logic.
If Kabam would be "brave" enough to provide this to show us what they see .. and why they want to change to something ... then they'd find the player base MUCH more understanding and open about it ...
(assuming, of course, the data actual makes sense)
heh
1. Will there be rank down tickets?
2. How do you compensate summoners who spent serious cash expecting to a champion they ultimately did not get? Expectations were set based on videos and testing...
Since there's so much uncertainty now with champions (being nerfed) you won't find me investing further in acquiring any champion. This is the risk you pose with balance changes... I am fine buffing champs but only okay nerfing champs if you can offer refunds for money spent on a champion they ultimately do not get. This is a big problem.
He's easily top 10% in the game - correct?
I have a 5* rank 5 sig 184. Cull, I want to keep a cool head, because I will take a little less damage output ,only if I get a lot more block proficiency., cull's is pretty bad. I hope this ends up being more of a tweak than a nerf, I dont have much faith in kabam but there's no point in giving myself An aneurism. We will just have to wait and see. Too many knee jerk reactions from many, I do think we will have to be more cautious with our time, units, money and resources when going and ranking up new champs.
