No Gambit tweak? (just by removing one of the AP he destroys, would make him far less powerful, and leave Gambit users still happy).
And so many 4s and a few 5s need improvements. AA and Hulk are quite lame. BSSP, Phoenix and OML are so updated they need a buff also to bring them to 2018. And I am not even talking about 4s.
I'm sorry but I still fail to see the issue with gambit , he's already fairly easy to beat with DD and Thor and 2 or 3 5* releases from now he'll be even easier to take down. This has been the trend of this game for as long as I've played , there's always a character that rules the roost unil something better comes along. There was a time where jeanbuster was nearly unbearable without another jeanbuster team. There are plenty of ways to take gambit out and as time goes by there will be more ways. Who knows even a small rebalance to AA might even make him a viable competitor. But nerfing characters is a dangerous practice and just because The OML nerf was ridiculous and and not needed doesn't mean that nerfing gambit won't be. I feel like the next 5* release will be somewhat mediocre , but the release after that will be insane . So keep calm and enjoy the game and don't let negativity overwhelm , find different strategies plan you climbs and hops differently , but don't get the pitch forks and torches out, they don't look good no matter who's holding them
Is it just me or does this seem like the calm before the storm? I feel like right before major game changes the smaller changes get quiet for a while as it's all hands on deck trying to tighten the bolts. Maybe I'm just being overly optimistic...
I apologize for being negative but this is extremely disappointing. Much needed rebalances/ buff and nerfs are MIA. No news of new events like 4* pvps or better rewards. Most importantly gambit has not been addressed and another season of Gambit:PQ sounds horrifyingly boring and stale to me. I am sorry for slamming anyone here but I love the game & hate the lack of respect and updates I feel we deserve. We deserve better.
Jonny I feel you pain and agree with your sentiment. I also don’t think your post deserved to be flagged. I would also say the Ice and Will just came back to the dev team which means there are some things changing in people who are responsible for making the changes you are hoping for. I think giving them one more season to get their feet under them and move is in the right direction can be worth the gambit slog. Again I agree with your post, but would recommend patience for one more season. Then feel free to blow your top at the devs.

3 seasons of no reworks tho? Could be that they are focusing on other things, I mean they must be, but its almost negligence to go that long with no changes. I guess they did do a couple minor changes in R146. But I look forward to the offseason for the batch of heroic tokens and the character updates. They should do some sort of update just to keep players engaged. Not to mention the system reboot that we miss out on.

It's certainly apparent to us that Gambit (Classic)'s strength is one that's a hot-topic issue for players, and I can understand why seeing these sparse season updates can be frustrating. While I don't have any details to provide just yet, what I can say though is that it's reasonable to assume that development time usually devoted to working on season updates (character buffs, system reboot, etc etc.) has been allocated towards a different aspect of the game. Thank you all for being so patient.

We understand that it takes time, its just that the Gambit situation requires IMMEDIATE attention, he literally breaks PVP and makes it UNENJOYABLE for a lot of people. PVP is a boring slog of the same match over and over.
PVP is always the same slog of the same match over and over. That's always been the case. Gambit nerf wouldn't change that... For those that don't have him, pull classics and cross your fingers! But the constant complaints about the game/devs/Gambit make me wonder why some of you all keep playing.

May I suggest to make it a priority ASAP?
Developers: Unfortunately Gambit's usage is only at 9.99%, which is still under our nerf threshold of 10%. We'll continue to analyze his usage to maintain the balance of the characters. Check back next Season!

Players think of updated win-based or hybrid pvp, pve season, more alliance events, updated pve reward structure, new pve system that gets rid of time slices, answer to tapping, training mode. Players get more character specific boosts they'll never use instead. "We worked super hard on this 3lektra boost, guys! You're welcome! Ok, team, let's start working on that boost for Vision now."

I concur. That's a very interesting comment he had there. I'm looking forward to seeing what they've been working on.
Also, Brigby, thanks for the communication - it's very helpful to know that the reason that character updates have been so sparse lately is because you've been working on something else.

Hot topic issue like tapping that’s now been on the table for a year? This is classic no information acknowledgment we come to expect. “Yes we know you’re not happy. Yes, we’re aware, no we have nothing report. Move along”
Also, I don’t think it’s reasonable to assume anything, that’s why we come to the forums; to get actual infomation, not assumptions.
Yeah. IceIX is back because he's the only person who has really ever built a string rapport with the forum; ii imagine they've probably got him on a contract to handle the end of life project in the hopes that things won't get out of hand.

So they convinced a developer to leave another job to return to end of life a game? That’s some of the most backwards thinking I can think of. If the games shutting down why do they need to build good rapport? If you got told by your boss that your company was bankrupt and dissolving in a month how much effort would you spend trying to woo clients?
If anything IceIX’s return indicates that things aren’t being shut down and they are investing in bringing back old talent.
For those that don't have him, pull classics and cross your fingers! But the constant complaints about the game/devs/Gambit make me wonder why some of you all keep playing.
Your joking right?
A 5* comes 15% of the time. There are more than 15 5* in classics so the odds to draw a Gambit are <1%. That means 100 LT tokens to get 1 Gambit or roughly 1300 LT's to get a fully covered Gambit (if you get perfect draw but if you favorite him as your only 5* you will get a few extra covers to make up for fact perfect draw unlikely).
Even if you can manage to acquire enough CP for 2 LT's a day that's 650 days or almost 2 years to cover him. It's just not feasible for anyone who didn't cover him when he was in latest.

I am serious, hope for the best. But to your point, everyone isn’t entitled to Gambit... look I don’t have Banner, it’s a constant reminder of how incomplete my roster is.

"Tapping" also sits alongside Gambit (Classic) in the category of "Things the development team would like to work on addressing, were it not for this other thing currently being worked on." It is definitely something the team is looking into: Update: The team is working on scheduling trial runs for some changes to Story Events that intend to address the issue of "Tapping." Once we have more information on these trial runs, we'll be sure to communicate this to players. ---------

Rest assured, we do not have any plans to end the game. Yes, IceIX is back, however please note that he also stated in his thread:
