yeah, SS wasn't hugely changed, it's just that the rest of the game has, massively so. he wouldn't fare as well vs. max-champ 4*s, or even champs of the current generation.
A buff to Surfer could go a long way. He is still really useful even at the abysmal level of health and output, comparatively speaking.
Will the devs ever follow up on this rebalancing discussion? The world may never know..
I wish they would do slight tweaks to the 5's that need it when they are up for an event. Not ultra-changing tweaks, just ap cost, health, match damage, and the numbers that go with the ap spending. It would bring a lot more excitement to these events that just repeat over and over.
@IceIX It is officially 3 months since this was first posted. While I understand the world has changed drastically and Demi/D3 have to adjust their calendars to this, it is a bit nuts that their has not been any communication on this since it was been posted. Do you or your team have any type of timeline for this?
Someone post the gif, you know the one I mean
The time line for changes is maybe next year.
But most likely never.
Did we get any answer to this thread? This was created in Januray and no feedback from Devs?
Maybe instead of the bonkers release rate we have right now we can do something like 4 / reworked 5 / new 5 or even reworked 5 / reworked 5 /new 5
There were some minor changes made to Carnage, Valkyrie and probably somemore. Does that count?

Punisher Max, that powerhouse that is now moved into the meta. Right? How could you forget?
Oh wait, it was a very small tweak that made no difference to anyone, but was probably relatively fast and allowed someone to check something off what I assume is a very long list of "do these character updates if you have some extra time".
What was the change to Valkyrie?
And I figured once this thing got unstickied it was intended for it to sink and die without an answer...

R199 included this update:
Valkyrie (Asgardian Warrior)'s power Bounty Hunter now activates on the first turn.
Not exactly earth-shattering, but an improvement!
I don't know what people expect when we're in the middle of a pandemic and the devs are all remote but hey, if you want to keep hoping for some major character reworks, be my guest.
BW delay threw a bunch of work out the window (or put it on hold) and they are scrambling, probably, to keep up with the relentless release schedule to make sure players keep feeling that spending pressure. Or, more charitably, have something new to engage with. Since I don't expect any novel content (PVE or what have you) either.
Oh! Well I just used her today and didn't even realise that wasn't the case to begin with, lol! But...THANKS DEVS!
And no I expect exactly zero, lol! I wasn't overly confident of anything happening 3 months ago though either! All these players suddenly expecting a meta Doc Ock as they just happen to have him champed were always going to end up in the same place Doc's cunning scenes go to...😁
No comment about Punisher because I don't think his toolkit is popular.
Even though it's a minor change to Valkyrie, I think it makes a big deal to me. Instead of gaining 3 ap on my first turn, I could sometimes gain an extra 3-4 ap.
Unfortunately for Carbage, it turned out pretty buggy for him. The last time I saw something about Carbage was that he downed his own teammate on the first move due to cascades and I think his first match during players' start of the game gained ap for the players instead. Even though it's one minor change, but two new bugs surfaced.
Previously, the dev from MCOC announced some character balances in July or August last year, and it took them 8 months to implement the changes. And that's before COVID-19 gained attention in the US.
I highly doubt that major character rebalances will be implemented that soon. On the other hand, those movies that have been delayed might give them some extra time to schedule some character balances.
3 months gone and 0 character balance
