Nerf Bishop

HoundofShadow said:How is stating an opinion trolling? Is there a certain kind of opinion I must and can only have when you mentioned that Ice said Bishop will not be nerfed? Many will be disappointed and it's plausible that they will retire. My opinion was inferred based on players retiring due to Gritty being the meta.

It is sad that this Dev team cannot spot a broken character that needs fixed. It is not surprising because it took so many months for them to fix Gambit even though everyone was telling them how broken he was.
It is funny to see the inactions of the Dev team for this game yet I see in the news about other games that did nerfs because of the feed back from the players. It would be nice to hear why this Dev team doesn’t think that Bishop is broken and doesn’t even need to be looked at.

The hatred for the dev team in this community is unreal. How so many people can nonstop spout how clueless/moneygrubbing etc etc the devs are yet still play the game and even spend money on it is mindboggling.

Bishop is a joke plain and simple.
What I don’t like is “players” who always argue in bad faith. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to catch the vibe that they put down..

Devs need to give a long look at their game, and remember that this should be a game about building teams, getting AP matching tiles and firing powers in a strategic way, not about triggering passives without actually having to do anything! Free AP, crazy turn 0 powers, etc. should be removed from the game completely, as it is VERY DIFFICULT to control future interactions with other powers they could have down the line that could break the game completely (Rocket was strong when released, specially when played with Gamora, but he didn't go bananas until Kitty was released).
They should also go back to 4 node completions in PvE to get full CPs. Most people that would be annoyed with a Gritty nerf is just because how much we need to play PvE right now to get full CPs. Playing without Gritty or Thanos would be a nightmare!
PS: Bishop I don't get how he did go into the game with a power that triggers for any match-3 of a 5. It is just inexplicable.7 -
With recent 4* releases it looks as though they are trying to bridge the gap for 4/5 transition and keep the 4* tier relevant at the same time. That doesn’t seem like a bad idea to me, personally I’m glad to hear no nerf is in the works...but I do understand the disappointment for those who feel differently.0

Time to put my BH back on bishop and work on that 370. I genuinely thought there was no chance he’d stay as he is. Seems I’m wrong. Time to ignore ST 10 covers and get back to nothing but him.1

Here we are on page 20 of comments....and this point has probably been made....maybe....earlier.
Arguments go around and around......I'll say it again anyway based on some comments I saw last night from Ice.
I charitably assume the devs never thought players would want to run Bishop with 5's and float. It makes sense that we as players always look for loopholes etc, which is what Bishop really is.
The devs seem to approach things much more rigidly in terms of what tier a character is in and who you will use him with.
While the 5* players are sick and tired of Bishop, there are people working on their 4 tier that would find him useful against high end 4's (like Rocket + Gamora or Chavez) and so the devs in general are probably worried about any nerf that makes a desired 4 less valuable, despite many players being tired of them etc.
Some math:
If you get 85% 4's from your Legendary pulls, that means that approximately every 24 pulls you get a bonus 4 at 5%. That translates into 480 CP in Classics (let's just say a person who's really going to be upset about a 4* nerf is pulling there). But, about every 100 pulls you'll get another cover for that person you bonused. So after approx 240 pulls, or 4800 CP, you would hopefully have 12 covers for a 4 you wanted. Maybe that's enough, maybe you pull one more bonus and go to 5,280 CP used to get a finished 4. Assuming your colors worked out the way you hoped.
Obviously you got a lot of other covers but ask anyone who's working on the 4 tier as a new player how easy it is.
Pulling the rug out on someone who's trying to finish Bishop is risky. For all the vets hanging around, there are probably an equal number of players who are trying to figure out how to make progress in the 4 tier and anyone serious about it is probably a spender too.1 -

Defending the developers like they pay your salary in every single thread is fine if that’s your gimmick. But I draw the line at outright lying to make your point. And if you’re upset at posters who are negative toward the developers at every single turn (yes we have those too), I’d argue that criticizing your fellow players at every single turn (with unfounded information no less) is just as bad and borders on trolling.3 -
y'all first mistake was not putting the dude in your ignore list
second mistake was engaging in a "discussion" with him2 -
When 4* Starload got a rebalance, he with someone else (remember) made an infinite win team. The devs corrected it in a day.
I'll leave that here.3 -

Furthermore do you remember when they took one of the worst 4* in Mr Fantastic and buffed him to a great level. Then all of a sudden, they change him again to a terrible level again because Cable was coming out. Here to find out that it could have been a winifinite team.
Yet they think a 5* player can start a match by matching a 3 match that goes into another 3 match and AI can get 10 Blue AP to stun you before they take a move and it is ok.8 -
Don’t see the point in hammering home the same stuff over and over for another 20 pages. Points have been made and we hear it’s not currently on the table.
Get on with it or dont, at least we know where they are on nerfing bishop. The feedbacks all there now, nothing to be gained from the same 5 people repeating themselves.0 -

Even then, we can assume their intentions for the fix, but I doubt we can know for sure, even if an explanation is offered on the forums.A character that is "broken" for the players is not necessarily "broken" for a dev.2

Overlocked (Red):
Old:
(PASSIVE) Bishop absorbs his enemy's attacks, storing them up for an explosive blast. If Bishop's teammates would take x or more damage, Bishop jumps to the front. Once Bishop has taken y damage, deal z damage to the enemy.
New:
(PASSIVE) Bishop absorbs his enemy's attacks, storing them up for an explosive blast. For every blue AP Bishop's team possesses, increase his match damage in all colors by (10 at level 270, 20 at 370).
Numbers could be tweaked but that seems about right. With a team of 270s, 8 AP would cause Bishop to tank every color. 270 Bishop plus 370's would need about 16 AP, a team of all 370's would still be about 8 AP. Get Bishop to tank the first first hit and you're basically in business. On defense you don't want to hit him first and if you can't burst him in 1 shot he's going to cause a lot of pain.
*This also adds the bonus of that you can somewhat control when he gets hit instead of him suiciding every match.0 -

Thor and Okoye are not at all broken. If one were nerfed, the other would inherently be nerfed as well, as they are WAY greater together than the sum of their parts. They’re not that scary together on defense, but Thor, without Okoye boosting his powers? Okoye without Thor feeding her heals? REALLY not scary. So the developers cannot in good conscience nerf them despite the fact that they cost you no health packs. They did this once with OML and people were pretty skeptical of the reasoning. Nerf another true heal combo and you risk showing your hand too much.
So... instead of nerfing the current meta; they just released a more potent one that is SO good on defense (opposite of Thorkoye) that players either play it or become a target themselves. The average player should wipe more and use more packs playing with/against Gritty than with/against Thorkoye. But again, they’re beatable. Add Bishop to the mix and you are guaranteed to be using one pack minimum (likely more) if you play as that trio and around 3 if you play against it. Kitty and Bishop aren’t going anywhere because this solves their problem of a meta that doesn’t use packs. It doesn’t matter how much we tell them what a miserable experience it is. They’ll see it as a win due to the increase in health packs.0
