It's not the particular changes that surprise me as I'm never one to really complain all that much about nerfs. What surprises me is the timing. We've been shown time and time again that the first 3 months of an MMO are crucial to the success or failure of the game. It doesn't matter how minor or major the changes are, they had to know some people wouldn't be happy with them, and this kind of thing takes on a life of it's own. We know all about first impressions, and Champions has just made a terrible first impression. I agree Slurms.

That's what gets me the most.

Shadow War :

That said, they shouldn’t have done both the up-tick of mob power, and the down-tick of defenses.

Some areas got overnerfed, and I think that they really do need to readjust it. However, I was easily solo'ing super-villians and their little buddies, ending the fight with over half life before this. Defense powers, especially the passives, WERE too powerful. That said, they shouldn't have done both the up-tick of mob power, and the down-tick of defenses. One or the other would have been sufficient.

The mere mention of a launch day patch should have earned a swift kick in the balls to the person who uttered the suggestion. What a terrible business move.
