    Just when I thought I was out they pull me back in.
    I tried to be good, I tried to leave this humourless vacuum and then they do this.
    I mean seriously?
    Out of all the characters they pick him.
    Is mysterio a joke to you?!
    I propose we hit them hard and we hit them fast, with a major, and I mean major, leaflet campaign.

    Day 1449 and my Ham is lvl 279. Free the Limiteds!! I beg of you

    Day 3950 and my ham is lvl 311, so you're doing much better with him than I am.

    3217, mine is at 297 largely thanks to him being featured in Classics lately.

    Mind boggling. I can't seem to recall any time other than Christmas/New Years when I get any solid amount of covers/shards for Ham.

    Is he still going to be Limited after this? What is the point of still having Limited characters?

    What was ever the point? I could have seen it if the rewards were significantly better, or limiteds were generally more powerful, but neither has ever been the case.

    Like others, I am utterly baffled why a limited character got a rebalance. What’s the goal? More play time?

    I remember from previous dev posts the goal of rebalances is to increase play rates of underused characters. But limited characters were never meant to see high use rates. That’s why they are limited.

    I’d love to hear what the rationale for this rebalance is and why it was prioritized over non-limited characters.

    Do we even play against him in any of the PVE nodes? It seems the rebalances tend to help out the AI when they play us (5Fatpin a classic example).

    I want to say there is a node of limited characters in one of the PvE but I dunno if Ham is one of the opponents?

    A baffling decision this one and Battle at the Basilica a rare feature the limited status continues to hurt getting him.

    It's not that baffling when you consider they're offering the costume.

    Well why not then do then say Red Guardian who really needs it? Throw out a classic comic book costume for him. Limited characters should be bottom of the rebalance pile if the idea is to get more use from them by players.

    My guess? Someone at Marvel told them to do something with the ham.
