    @DevpoolMPQ_BCS, so just to confirm, Elsa Bloodstone received a minor, unannounced rebalance - and that will constitute the rebalances for July?

    Even the "bad" 5* reworks have massively improved those characters. Iron Man went from, like, the absolute worst, completely unusable even +100 levels, to mediocre.

    There are at least 10 and maybe 20 5* that are completely worthless. We were supposed to get one rework every month. That pace is glacial, but at least they committed to it, and we'd get to the end eventually.

    Now? Did they give up? OML is featured in classic tokens all month and he's completely worthless in his current state. When is his rework?

    He was already reworked, didn't you notice???

    We basically need to create this post every month so a developer can pop-up to say "Oh we rebalanced 3* Punisher like 3wks ago. K bye"

    Incredible.
    Look forward to them telling us they've updated another character out of the 300+ we currently have

    How do people even remember what any of these guys numbers were to know the difference from these stealth changes? I couldn't tell you anything about Shang Chi except that he punches things and it works.

    I was able to catch the changes to Civil War Cap and to Gambit because their health and match damage doubled.

    I sure hope the changes to Chasm will be better communicated.

    Nobody ever updates the character threads, so if you want to see what the original numbers or power descriptions were you can typically just compare what is her to the in game description if somebody seems different.

    Yeah but why would you even be looking at those for most characters? I can understand Entrails example and people will be watching Chasm but if say Black Knight gets changed will we even notice?

    I certainly wouldn't, unless he was featured somehow, and it was a BIG change. Like I looked at Elsa after they mentioned it here, and saw no difference.

    I wouldn’t notice a change to too many 4* characters.

    I hadn't noticed this thread until now and it's funny that one dev popped in, said "Elsa changed" and then never came back. No link to what changed. No explanation. Just "she changed".

    There are other threads about this but communication is beyond laughable at this point.

    @LavaManLee - 100%. and comically the original question remains unanswered. With a flurry of confusion after revealing a rebalance of Elsa, which was so insignificant that no one noticed beforehand. Why even do the work on something so unnoticeable and unannounced?

    In the latest patch notes, Archangel is getting a rebalance that goes live this Thursday. Maybe he’ll be getting some Horseman synergy with Omega Red.

    Agreed. Heck, I use Banner during his boost weeks and he was easily the worst character in the game before his redo. Yes, worse than Wasp. At least you didn't actively try to prevent Wasp from activating some of her powers...
