Why Marvel’s Avengers’ New Update Upset Many Players
Marvel's Avengers'latest patch brought with it a slew of matchmaking improvements and bug fixes, but a balancing update has left many players feeling more upset with the game than before. While the game has seen its fair share of backlash from players over various issues, such as Marvel's Avengers' inaccurate Kate Bishop MCU skin, the recent update has become the center of controversy due to its dramatic nerf of the game's collectible comic books, which provide passive stat boosts for players who spend the time grinding for repeats in order to increase the Comic Books' tier ranking. In particular, the update nerfed the Comic Books that provided a boost to armor, which gives players damage reduction. The initial tiers for the armor boosts were 1.1% / 12% / 13% / 14% / 15%, but have since been reduced to 1% / 2% / 3% / 4% / 5%.
This is a pretty significant reduction in stats and is especially frustrating for players who play tank type characters, such as Marvel's Avengers' Hulk, as armor is an important part of how they stay alive and pull damage off of their teammates. While players reaching 100% armor and becoming unkillable does throw off the balance of the game, the nerf to comic books has damaged the builds of many players who don't have the specific gear and setup that gave them 100% armor. The comic books were only a small part of the build that allowed players to reach 100% armor, but the stat boosts they provided were vital to the survivability rates of players who chose to focus on other stats in their gear and champion points.
