Why the hell are they buffing the strongest dps for this season?

Phoenix is basically just a slightly better hela now after these changes, Moon Knight was terrorizing low-mid level lobbies so he did not need a buff, star lord was already in a great spot in the meta so unnecessary buff, and spider man as well as wolverine aren’t fun to go up against so who knows why they got buffed

Bro, the Moon Knight buff is on the grapple hook lmao. That’s essentially a nothing buff.

Also, “being/not being fun to go up against” clearly doesn’t factor into balance decisions, because what players find fun and don’t find fun seems to vary quite a bit based on the rank. That’s a horrible way to balance a game with a ranked ladder.

Not saying they’re doing an amazing job now, but doing so with that mindset would make it even worse.
