    Can you explain ? He is buffed curently, and my lvl 250 Iceman (343 boosted I think) seemed to deal the exact same damage as before.

    Something is going on, unless the information on the character details page is wrong. Currently, it shows:
      Punch: Deals 7964 damage (level 270, 5 covers in blue)
    My Iceman is level 271, with 5 covers in blue, and it shows 6510 damage for the punch in my roster screen.

    Just checked my Iceman and I also see lower value. I have to check if green got changed too, or only the blue.

    I assume it is a bug ? (Since R136 didn't hit yet, and there was nothing announced)

    Edit: green seems to be the same. 

    Edit*2: If I remember right Human Torch had a similar bug when boosted... am I wrong ? Hopefully It could just be a bug because of him being boosted this week.

    my boosted iceman usually does around 12k aoe to the enemy team but it's seems off today also. It seems to be hitting around 9-10k damage instead.

    Looks like a ~25% drop.  

    Bug?  Stealth nerf?  If the latter, what the ****?!  Why nerf an older character that not too many players have champed and that has already been outclassed by power creep?

    Something has definetly change.my 340 iceman blue used to do around 24k damage when boosted if memory serves correctly.he's hitting for around 21k now.i can't see it being a bug as he was fine the last time he was boosted but hopefully I'm wrong.i'd hate it to be a permanent nerf.

    Hi Everyone. I'll pass this inquiry along to the developers to see if they know what's with this observed discrepancy.

    Nothing yet?

    This is a bit disappointing though. This is the first time I have a champed Iceman to play with.

    Stealth Nerf or a bug?

    It's been the weekend, developers probably won't have had a chance to look at it until today at the earliest.

    The damage has definitely changed; even the scaling has changed (difference in damage from cover to cover)

    Covers 1-4 are higher (decreasingly so) and at 5 covers it's about 23% lower.

    Yeah, green looks about right (compared to stats for lvl 270), blue does significantly less.

    Can confirm this.
    My 333 Creep did 27K on blue yesterday before the update, now it's 22K.

    I think it's a display bug. If we use the punch in a match it deals more damage than what it says on the description.
    Ah, I think you're right. The in-battle text for Punch a Snowman also seems correct. So I guess just the roster description is incorrect. Phew.

    (Or, they're going to nerf him soon and 'forgot' to revert this screen back)

    Players found more details about the bug than devs did (Or at least more details than they "communicated")...

    Could we get a confirmation that it's only a display bug and not hinting at a possible future nerf? Pretty please!

    Hi Everyone. It looks like the developers were already aware of this issue, and yes, it seems to only be a display bug. This will be fixed in the next daily patch.
