    • Powers that require input from the player are now randomly chosen when they are being activated by Colossus (Classic)'s power Fastball Special. 
      • For example, if Quake (Daisy Johnson)'s power Resonate Frequency is activated by colossus, the tile that is chosen is randomly selected.


    Buh-but, why? Was there some Fastball Special combination that was broken that I wasn't aware of?

    I'm pretty sure the Colossus change is to prevent someone from accidentally cancelling the activated power and losing it, not an interaction with an upcoming character.

    Agreed with @ZeiramMR. When I used him here and there and I'd accidentally cancel the power he was about to fire it would be wasted which was a shame. This certainly narrows the ceiling for the power on powers with selectable tiles but I don't think it has anything to do with paving the way for a new character's kit.

    Is it just me noticing that after the update damage is appearing before the matched tiles disappear? A little thing I know, but it's still bugging me

    Thanks. I hadn't noticed, and now I won't be able not to. Bah.

    It speeds up the matches a bit, so I'm not complaining.  It is obviously a bug though, so things will probably change back next release.

    It bugged me at first too, but with the amazing adaptive ability of the human spirit, by last night it was already less of an issue

    Sooo.....about that Daken fix.....

    It was already annoying, but to be promised a fix patch after patch, and now be stuck with the guy for a 7 day event. I'm a lot more annoyed at this than the Colossus nerf, Colossus basically collects dust anyway. But Daken, I say hi to him on the battlefield every day.

    This. Very surprised this hasn't been properly addressed yet.

    Apologies for the inconvenience. It seems that bug is proving to be trickier to resolve than expected, however it's something the developers are continuing to work hard on fixing.

    "Diamond: C(s, diamond)" = Mockingbird

    I know I'm likely in the minority her, but I would love to see Mockingbird in the game.

    I know there's a mutant bandwagon, and they seem underrepresented in the game, but Mockingbird would present a chance for something new in the game.

    I was a West coast Avengers fan when I was young, and Mockingbird had a huge depth of character.  She is absolutely deserving to be in the game.

    Alias: Jewel ... It's Jessica Jones.  The Defenders show comes out in just a few weeks.

    Because another name (an alias) for a diamond is a jewel. I'm concerned that this one may make too much sense for it to be true.

    Dang, well done. Like I said, if it were Mockingbird they'd have deleted the first insinuations ASAP as they always do when someone guesses it right too quickly, as they always assume it's datamining.
