What happened to balance talks?

elwhiteninja

I know its been a while and you folks at d3 have been busy with all the movie tie ins and stuff but what happened to balancing the older characters?

We have not had a character looked at since IM40 (nice job on that by the way) and Vision in February. I understand that older characters do not make as much money but as a developer I want all my work to be used not just the most recent. So are the following characters going to get some love?


Mr. Lametastic is ignore-able, weak, slow, and as is the only viable of the fantastic 4 he is pretty much worthless for his black
Slooooow that does very low damage for how expensive it is. Her is pretty good but defense is much weaker than offense.
the bagman of ****.
Interesting for early nuke, very confusing as does almost the exact same thing in the same color and for half the cost plus it does not work with which is kind of a joke. is expensive and ends the turn for no reason.
https://d3go.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=44686 Great article on her
Falcap could do great damage but his ratios are very expensive, he is slow, part of a flooded color and while his blue is super interesting it is also not that useful with the current 4 stars as very few use cds and add tiles maybe he would be great with but i have not tried it yet.
decent and his & are interesting but he is one that I would never spend ISO on
Nerfing & was too much he is another one that got the league of legends treatment in that he was way too strong and is now very weak. He needs a health boost probably to a similar level as his clone and his needs a bit more umph too it.



Hulk is so ignore-able he does not seem like the strongest character in the marvel universe. He is mainly used as a scarecrow for newer people or a green generator thanks to his great . His does great shake but next to 0 damage, his is crazy expensive and does terrible damage for the cost.
another very interesting character who is great against a very niche crowed but does very low damage and has no way to force people to damage her. A very interesting idea for her would be to give her a -esk active on her that would move her to the front.
The same problem with his yellow as also his damage for cost is very low.
All psylocke really needs is the ability to add unlimited with her and maybe a slight str boost.
Just bad but I don't mind cause he is such a common foe.
Over nerfed should not end the turn or it should have the team damage removed
Have you ever had a terrible opponent cascade and just had spider-man left? The game is winnable but you are going to be there FOREVER. 0 offensive abilities for the webslinger, a burst heal and a pretty decent that is massively overshadowed by . His is ok. Personally I would like to see his changed to something along the lines of his counterpart's .

If even one of these characters received love a patch I would be so happy.

I think the question would be asked if I had enough to champion only 1 or 2 characters who would I do(where most of the game is)? If that question is easily answered ( ) and no one would ever say etc.

Please make us excited for every PVE reward, token pull, and PVP 1000 reward (obviously impossible but we can hope)

Any chance we can get a RED comment on this?

I Think the chance of that happening is somewhere between "slim" and "none", probably closer to the latter.

I know but I can dream. It's just sad because it would not take that much work to tweak 1 character's numbers a patch.

I always feel much less apprehensive about spending money on games where the development team is actively improving all of the content even if slowly.

I think they made some changes, and the collective feedback was "meh", so they figured why bother.

Although I will say that people did really enjoy the IM update. That was very nice.

I almost wish that they would ask us what we thought of updates before doing them, just to save the work involved if people don't like it. I don't know.. just an idea.
