Lol so Chasm keeps breaking things.

Sure, whatever.
We won't get a clarification anyway.

I don't care why they don't match.
I want them to fix either the wording or the effects.

Her blue was able to target YellowJacket while he was invisible. He was the last enemy, and I had the AP, so I said why not.

Not complaining though because it absolutely saved my bacon!

So would be Hit Monkey, if they manage to fix that.

Rebalances take time and consideration. It took over a year for Gambit to get nerfed and he was very clearly head and shoulders above other characters (still would be, tbh.)

Just to be exact, it took less than a year. Gambit was released in Sep 2017 and the nerf was June 2018. Definitely less than one year.

Is there a typo in her blue power description? Should it say that the targeted character can only do MATCH damage?
And does her yellow (increased ability damage) stack with Okoye’s?

They're in complete control of every aspect of the game, and they can change any part of it at any time they want, with no notice.

We had enough information to say that Gambit was overpowered and completely game-breaking 2 weeks after his release, and the previous devs dragged their feet, tried to make counters unsuccessfully, and unnecessarily deferred the problem for months while it festered.

They can indeed. But they also know that angering a lot of players who spent cash chasing a nerfed character is not good business, nor do they want to give out lots of compensation like they did after Gambits nerf.

So it makes sense for them to do everything possible to avoid annoying players and giving out compensation. It also takes time for counters to be released (they at least release 5* faster now) and more importantly to be leveled up past basic champ level (450) esp if the rest of the 'lastest' aren't worth busting a huge hoard for. It's very possible that a decent counter will be developed for players in the 450 range where it's easy to reach but not for the 550 crowd which is vastly harder to reach as you well know.

It is Chasm’s nerf? Oh, it isn’t. So who cares.

No, they haven't brought about a balance for that just yet, but frankly the meta mindset just hurts the overall experience anyway. I feel like the dev's thought Hit Monkey was a good enough response? And yet they still haven't fixed his team-up power, so. I can't really disagree with you, but then again I've been jaded against PvP forever anyway.

The last we heard from a dev was that they were waiting to see if the increased availability of Kang and HM in the wild had any impact on Chasm's prevalence, since they weren't hugely available until pretty recently.

Rebalances take time and consideration. It took over a year for Gambit to get nerfed and he was very clearly head and shoulders above other characters (still would be, tbh.) Griping about it every week is not particularly productive.

Lord, I remember that year with Gambit.

Anyway, I'm not the kind of player to come here and complain, I really like to highlight the dynamics that work well, and tend to bring up the play tested errors we all see. We agree, actually, the continuous complaint cycle doesn't get any traction. And speaking of Gambit, I was at first shocked they brought back X-Force Wolverine's previous power set, and yet he hasn't made such a splash either.

The issues with Chasm are relatable to the issues with Gambit, and I think that the truest issue here is a lack of sychronicity between characters released. No matter what the characters themselves are, there should be a clear and dedicated direction for powersets as they come so that the intergration is recognized at the priority the players place it at, like myself and what I see here in the forums. To the topic of feedback and progress on current errors, there could maybe be some clearer communication from them to us about what's in the works to get fixed, but I honestly couldn't expect it.

Back to the topic at hand, as entrailbucket said, this is Clea's thread, and I thought that I'd say my Wong is 1 cover, 255, and I brought Jessica Jones, 453, and both got knocked out in the second to last round of Welcome to Shield, the one against Mordo, Thing, and Starlord? Clea single handly took that entire match. I kept her red high and in Faltine mode, I dropped really precise purples to control the enemy, and I used her blue to dominate the rest of the way. She's incredibly effective, and a great character.

Can she change the MPQ Meta-Verse by herself? No, she's not all powerful, but she's an incredible teammate, especially if she covers her own colors.
