Future voted Champion Buffs LONG lead time for changes

I was just as excited as anyone when the original vote went out back in early May of this year that we get to chose a Champion to get a well deserved Buff.... smash cut to 5 MONTHS LATER and the buff in question is still in the works. While the concept of re-working old "useless" champs is a huge step in the right direction, is it really always going to take almost HALF A YEAR to implement changes? If we take Kabam's word that all the champs that made the short list are going to get a buff, and using their current 5 month current lead time, we'd be looking at having the other 5 of those original 7 short listed champs buffed by OCTOBER 2020!!!
Again, this is a great thing that's happening, but it really does have to speed up... ALOT... for it to be actually exciting and useful to the players.

One camp tells them to take their time and fully test champions before releasing them. The other says it’s taking too long. 🤷🏻♂️
Imagine if those game adjusted 2 sets of armor or 2 weapons only in 6 month.
That tells me that they have listened to feedback and are making some changes. And hopefully testing.
- so unless buffing old champs is finished in a year all that hard work is useless ,
- buffing them is just as important as releasing buffed champs fast!
KABAM TEST YOUR STUFF, DONT PUT OUT BUGGED STUFF, WE PREFER STUFF TO COME OUT SLOWER THAN TO BE BUGGED
Also community players
KABAM STOP TESTING YOUR STUFF, YOU ARE TAKING TOO LONG
They have to release new champs to keep people spending so they can make money to pay for the developers and designers to buff the older champs.
Also, it's only been this year that a significant of content started being unreasonable for R5 4*, and 5*s were released over 3 years ago. So i think it's not going to be too bad.

Community: Kabam, you can’t put out this much content and at least 2 new champs every month. They’re coming out too bugged. That’s not enough time for you to perform proper testing and balancing. Maybe cut back to 1 or take a month off from new champs.
Also Community: Several months is too long to drag this out for reworking 2 out of the dozens of already existing underwhelming champs. You have too many things to fix because you’re still keeping to your already too frantic main release pace. You’re making changes no one demanded and taking too long to do it. We asked for attribute tweaks and you’re starting from scratch. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
They're going to want to focus first on the new champions that they release. They need to make money to keep the game running, after all, and releasing new champions makes a lot more money than reworking the champions that a fair portion of the community already has.
Their priority will always be foremost getting new champions designed and released (It brings in money for them and also used to build the monthly EQ)
Plus they want to focus on getting the redesign right the first time. If they followed the model of new champion releases they would release champion redesigns without a beta which would probably speed up the process by 2-3 months, however there is a chance the redesign falls short.
So i don't think a little patience on the redesigns isn't much to ask for to get old champions to a state in which they are useful to players. All the redesigns have been pretty good to date.
