Chasm - Coming Soon???

I see we have a “rebalance” coming for Chasm? I don’t know who needs to hear this but I feel it’s only two things that needs to be addressed (especially since we have some hard counters available now)
1. Address the infinte Chasm matches. There needs to be an addition to one of his passives where he cannot create web tiles if he has no more allies. Chasm vs Chasm matches drag out entirely too long. (If they even end and you’re forced to just quit the match)
2. Just dump the instant revival and make it based on something else, we only need one in the game (Immortal Hulk) Every other character that has some sort of revival mechanic to them is not an issue because it is tied to either a countdown tile or trap tile. At the very least the player should get a turn in between the revival to have a chance to down him before.
Thoughts??.

    For me personally, I've always thought it's his ap drain that should be shelved. Now, change him, don't change him, doesn't matter either way. Have had enough practice to down Chasm immediately after my Chasm dies and revives. Don't always get it the first try in a match, but he's no longer the headache he was.

    Well, Kang eliminated that aspect of his power set. Those other two things are the true issue.

    Except Kang's ability to recover your AP doesn't work properly vs Chasm so he really didn't eliminate that at all.

    Kang only "eliminates" that aspect of his powerset if you bring Kang to every single fight.

    AP drain is a bad power to give an OP character who also cannot die without great effort unless all new releases are passive all powers moving forward.

    Did we really need another thread? There's been a million suggestions on how to fix him, and what's bad about him.

    maybe it would be good some wise and benevolent forumer opens a new thread summing up what is wrong with chasm and listing main suggestions to fix it

    U mean denizens of this forums are all ill-hearted fools ? or that there are wise and benevolent creatures but these are unable to assess chasm as clueless players?

    I'd rather they get on with it, roll out the rebalance.
    It's been 84 years.
    Nothing we say will have any influence on what they do at this point.

    It is taking a suspiciously long time for this to happen, so I have set my optimism levels to "Oh no, what is this..."

    He wouldn’t be the 1st character introduced to solve a very specific problem. I.e. Archangel was created just to stop airborne characters….

    I think actually at the time Archangel was more considered to be a terrible attempt to counter Gambit with his AP prevention power? Maybe they wanted to counter Vulture too I dunno but he was the only one in an airborne meta that didn't really exist.

    Yeah, Archangel was meant to counter Gambit's passive AP generation (it emphatically did not work).

    As far as I'm aware there's never been a plague of airborne teams dominating the metagame though, so I guess Archangel is doing quite well at keeping them suppressed!

    I sat for 30 seconds at the "end" of a PvP match tonight waiting for the glory to shine upon me. But nothing happened. Then it happened again and again. And when winning didn't happen, I got out my magnifying glass to see what microprint was on the screen, and

    lo and behold, Hulkling had gone airborne. Something I didn't know could happen having long ago given up on trying to read his kit.

    So I was forced to make another two matches. Guess I shoulda brought Archangel. But who knew?

    Yeah he did that to me too but then he landed and I introduced him to death. I am also baffled about what his powers do so I just choose randomly when purple/pink is flashing.

    Definitely should'a been an Archangel boost week! Or at least Elsa! Throw us a bone here, Devs!

    What does Elsa even do?
    Oh, her red.
