    Ascended 5* Polaris with a 5* low level ai is noticeably but not unusably slower now, so I guess that is a job well done? Time will tell I imagine.

    That was my thought exactly. Still entirely usable but slower than previous. I use to use her pretty regularly if I needed to play quickly, but now there are better alternatives.

    I've played against a few MThor/Polaris teams and haven't really noticed the difference. Using her myself for any "SAP" tile quests also hasn't really changed. Is she slower? Probably? Does she do less damage? I'm sure she does, but with me it was never the damage that mattered, it was always about SAP propagation.

    I guess we'll see -- if her purple is bugged and she's supposed to default to damage (rather than propagation,) and they change that then I might say she's badly nerfed, but as it is she definitely isn't. Point of fact, she may not be nerfed enough, but I'm willing to concede that some comboes should be darn good and at least she's doing less damage...

    Devs take out from her:
    double attack (purple + green)
    Cascade SAP creation
    She create less SAP was 3 now 2
    All this I accept.

    But why they made this 5AP purple power useless?
    I don't know any one who use this power to switch green powers...

    DEVS please just make her 5AP purple usable.

    Green should be only - Electromagnetic Resonance.

    Purple should be - Particle Accelerator, but...
    Take out this part "At the start of Polaris turn she deal X damage for each special tile one the board"
    Just leave the passive part "in none exist, crate a strength Y strike tile"
    And add active part like "for 5AP she create 3 random SAP tile"

    The absolute lack of compensation is inexcusable.

    I don’t care if so many of us knew that she was OP and needed a fix. The devs leaned way into that - she’s got multiple costumes and Polaris offers are one of the most common ones.

    People are POd and leaving over this or pulling way back and the game has already been losing players over device phaseout and the bugs etc.

    They should do something like sent out 2 LTs for every 10 levels of Polaris you have just to paper things over, assuming anyone still cares about this game running for more than a couple months. Or more LTs! I don’t care. Go big.

    Not a “sell your character” thing. And don’t at me with “she’s still really good” because perception is what matters and a lot of people are upset and the devs should make them happy.

    Whoah.

    You can't seriously be asking for compensation for a cosmetic item such as a costume?!?!? No amount of nerfing makes her unable to wear the costume.

    As for everything else - well, not what I would normally expect from you on the crazy poster ranting scale to be honest!

    But still, I'm on board! Hey Devs - can I have 90 LT's please!

    Yeah! I spent all that time getting her to 550 and now she's slightly less OP than she was. I used to be able to easily beat teams in 45 seconds, but now without the extra hit of damage at the beginning of the turn matches can easily last an entire minute.

    I demand compensation for the 15 seconds per match they've added onto my time when using her. Adding several extra minutes to my playtime is KILLING THE GAME FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Forget about 90 LT. For this heinous nerf I demand 2000 LT, 10K cp, and 100k HP. If they don't compensate me I will do absolutely nothing about it!!!!! But, I'll complain on internet forums until I've moved onto the next reprehensible change they make that is literally Killing the game and working me like a DOG!!!!!

    I can only give you a 9 out of 10 for this post because you didn't mention a slap in the face.

    You can't argue with the law of the forums!

    To be clear I don’t care that she was nerfed, personally.

    And I do get that it seems silly to some people that someone else is mad about this when she’s still really good.

    But the game is losing players and telling someone why they shouldn’t feel bad about something isn’t a magic wand. They can still feel bad.

    My gut says the Polaris nerf was the final straw for lots of players and it’s hurt the game significantly. There are multiple Google reviews specifically stating the Polaris nerf for their low rating.

    Some acknowledgment of the expected anger would have been smart for the devs and some form of compensation- ok, maybe not as much as I said - would have been smart.

    Also giving out like 10 or 20 LTs or Classics would only really mean you get a a couple 5s and like 8-17 4s of the 161 we have.

    I am afraid that next step will be discovering synergy between MThor, Polaris and Medusa passives...

    Polaris - sometimes one and only way to finish hardest nod in Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D. ... But no more:(
