Because in fact, lots of people have directly stated multiple times that in their opinion, if players spend money for a champion then Kabam should not make any deleterious changes to that champion without refunding them. You can't call the position a straw man when it is the actual stated position of many people commenting.
Back to the topic, Cull can be made better actually with these changes if block proficiency is improved. It would really help if Kabam would announce that though.
Unless they feel like this is good for the game in the future that we can't possibly see yet similar to 12.0 but in no scenario in this game is Cull is a more than an above average champ. Not terrible but not great either is where he lands so if he can get adjusted Namor who's actually an excellent champ has no shot of staying the same is the worry among others.
This is an interesting analog to the Cull situation. Players are saying Cull doesn't need to be changed, while Kabam says they have data that says he should be. Many players believe that means the data must be wrong. If the players are also saying these kinds of changes are bad for business but Kabam gets data that says it has no negative impact on player engagement or player spending, should they act on the vocal feedback or trust their monetization and engagement data instead?
Regardless I don't think people having trust issues with Kabam is still good for business. Outside of a few forum guys I don't know anyone that is okay with the Cull changes, at best I've heard lets wait and see but Kabam hasn't presented any information that anything other than damage will be changed.
People are very committed to this game but the reason for the forum outcry isn't about Cull it is precedent. They tough Namor or any fan favorite champion that is actually good, it would just be forum outcry.
How are paying customers ever supposed to trust Kabam when they see this kind of activity? I've already stopped all of my spending because frankly I just can't trust that this company won't turn around and burn me on the back end.
The same old crowd will always do their bit to toe the corporate line, but they are flat out wrong. There is no justification for fundamentally altering what people pay money for in a negative way. It's completely unethical and wrong.
