Are you kidding me, where is the "Fixed champion power nerf when buffed" spot, seriously? Didnt it get fixed with this update?

It a shame looking at my buffed to lvl240 and above 3* champions doing so less dmg then before!

That fix to buffed characters landed in R93 and it wasn't what we were expecting. Rather, they just fixed that a 166 was buffing up to 286 instead of 290. There is no fix announced for the problem you mention because they haven't even acknowledge it in all this time. Whenever I bring it up, I'm either ignored or given an unrelated answer.

I don't think you and Ryu are talking about the same thing. The bug regarding champion buffs is due to be fixed in R94, or at least that has been told in the official topic (the one with merging R92 I think it was).

Based on how Jessica Jones turned out, I'm hoping the villain hinted is Purple Man.

Verno5x

It's probably the Green Goblin. They've been doing a lot of Spider people lately and didn't he have a thing for Mary Jane or Gwen Stacy?

Obviously, yet again it's an anagram.

An Evil Odin Stole Love.

It's the All-Father, a 6*, surely.

No, no, no... clearly this says "On to a levelled Vision" or "Atone! Level old Vision!" or "'Vision leet,' loled Nova." This tells me the next character is going to be Vision.

Right, i am talking about that championed 3*s do less dmg when boosted to upper lvls then before or even if not championed.

It was said that this will be fixed in R94, you all know what i mean!? But i dont see this mentioned in the notes.

I don't recall them ever saying that the damage difference was the bug. Everything I read implied the bug was with the levels of the buff.

The damage nerf was in preparation for the championing feature and was a change in how damage was scaled for buffed characters which was intended to be less damage because when fully champed AND buffed they didn't want them to be overpowered.

Unfortunately they tweaked the damage scaling AND released the championing feature AND had the boosting level bug all hit at the same time. People wrongly assumed that damage nerf was not intentional and part of some bug. Even in the video they say that the damage scaling was tweaked... i.e. nerfed. Intentional. I'm not holding my breath for them to increase the damage scaling to anywhere near where it would have been prior to championing feature.

I am shocked because i belong to those people assuming that was a bug! Thought with every cover I spend my characters will get stronger, now I am only trying to give them there old strength back....

It is a bug. See:

viewtopic.php?f=9&t=37685

It used to be stickied in the Bugs forum, for some reason it was on page 4 even though they never fixed it. Think they hope everyone forgot & moved on. Was supposed to be fixed with this patch.

Like others - I think Demiurge has simply drastically reduced the ability damage scaling for 2*/3* above lvl 94/166 post-R91.
They won't admit it or their intentions around it, but it's happened, and I don't think it's gonna change anytime soon. Not even with R94 and the so-called bug fix.

In my (and others I know) particular case, this means that my weekly boosted 3* roster is much less impressive and can't really compete with the increasing number of very strong 4* rosters that I see right from the start in PVP. I am finding it increasingly difficult to compete for the awards I need to progress in the game.

Right now I'm pretty much reduced to collecting ISO to work on the roster I already have, but my ability to progress through anything but luck of the random token pull has ground to a halt in large part due to the ~ 25% reduction in ability damage to boosted 3* characters that prevent me from competing with 4* rosters.

Entchantress would be sweet, did recommend her in last survay.

Best way to build her in synopsis with Loki (or may they do a Lady Loki too and make them best buddies... or pals... umm... whats the best term for female friends?)

Friend-zoned.

From reading between the lines 3* characters are now supposed to be weaker than they were before championing at L166 and to restore them to their former glory they now need an additional 60-100 covers investing in them. This is an intended change and part of the widespread rebalancing.

An admin can correct me if I am wrong as there still not has been an official confirmation that I have seen.

I believe this to be the case as well. Except, to be precise, they are weaker above lvl 166 and they need an extra 60-100 covers PLUS event boosting to return to their preR91 boosted glory. It would be nice to get some acknowledgement from the reds, but the lack of anything tells me they did it and just want this discussion to go away.......
