    Maybe change the Drip plate so that it only takes effect at the end of the turn? Or down the line, are you going to forget about this and release a drip plate for blue, then change him again?

    IF you are going to make this change at least I hope the discus clothesline also gets changed to blue, so the build doesn't get hurt that much

    Sure, let's nerf a guy who's maybe second tier. Meanwhile, anti-stun belt Muscle Man Bray is invincible/unstoppable with his anti-sub move(give it at least some cooldown!), and Carmello just chain stuns and deletes your health bar for 15m with his red recharge moves...

    Well, I think for a Superstar with such a high saturation (he came with a 1200 Shards unlock), we are fine updating him and keeping his overall power at the same level.

    I don’t understand the change. I don’t spend a lot of money, but I was lucky enough to pull him on a $20 pack a few weeks ago (no gear). Well, I thought I was finally going to have a good showboat to compete with the high spenders. I guess I’m back to where I started.

    This is actually mental.. imagine buying a car.. then the dealership sold you wrong model would you take it back? Especially as it's an every now and then event. Also feel like you should compensate every player 1 skill plate removal to take their plate off of Waller. Cos as usual your paying customers have to make do with your mess

    blowing the board without moving the pin bar is literally his selling point. Taking that away completely ruins him. It’s the move that made me invest in him.

    5% of the players probably have the drip plate. 10% of the players maybe have Grayson. 2% maybe possibly have plate plus gear. Somewhere down the line not making this change now is going to hurt scopley. Cause clearly it didn’t hurt them when people were dropping money to get his card with gear. Transparency is a beautiful word. People are a lot more understanding when people are transparent. Changes are made without any real reason. Now we are using the word “balance” as a reason to change a card? Nah nah. You made the bed now sleep in it or tell the community the real reason you are making this change.

    this game is such a joke. Just in general…. New update, get other to play game….. how about test and fix. Why would anybody in this community want to recommend this game to their friends? Now on to Waller. Let not fix and stun loops, PH ko, or solo. I mean let’s see new stone cold and undertaker. Just press one button match is over, yet Waller is the problem?? I don’t get how this evens out the playing field?? You recently added 99mp, shouldn’t that be removed for unfair advantage?? Any mode those new guys are unstoppable, but that’s ok. So what about Hollywood hogan or Eric bisoff?? Both can run endless loops, and they were never fixed…. Is it because you can’t run them on auto?


    Pretty much all the good game modes have been ruined besides 24 hour feud. All have paywall, that this whale can not even keep up with anymore. Midweek events have more spend than weekends:

    But we will change one one guy that does nothing for rest of game.

    Stop fooling everyone
    Because it's not about the Drip plate or non stop cycle because people can use submission move to reduce his MP as we get the first turn not our opponent. The main reason is a lot of people have Waller and you guys just want to nerf him now.

    So stop giving us the drip plate excuse because it's not appropriate.

    And still if you guys gonna change that black move then it should've been to yellow cuz that his primary colour not BLUE.

    The character works fine, the issue is the drip plate. It’s completely broken and overpowered and it’s not offered anymore. Why not nerf that? Wouldn’t fairness be fixing the broken skill plate that very few people have? Seems like it’d be far, far more fair than changing the character with such “high saturation”.

  • Phenom_Black01

    What's the point in spending money if in a few months you're just gonna change the character. My drip plate isn't even on Waller, but this change is terrible. I've spent a bit on this zombie event, are you gonna change these characters because you realised you fucked up? Typical Scopely knee-jerk reaction, going too far in the other direction with your "fix"

  • VishwadeepR33

    This only proves and gives me satisfaction that there's no need to spend or worry about new plates or superstars cause they will get nerfed at any point at any time ah what a relief honestly I feel bad for others who spent their hard earned money on this sh ite game and d umb headed scopely is only robbing people watch it y'all kross plate will get nerfed from 350 percent to 35 next

    I've spent for my Grayson, i've maxed him 6ss and you want to change him ??!!!!! I don't have this plate!!! Let my Grayson as he IS now !!! Change all the caracters with stun recyclable too at this time. That's unfair to do that !!!!

  • VishwadeepR33

    To preserve fairness I declare that's not only firpo but scopely Dev's and decison makers too enjoy!

    Terrible idea. I hope there's some massive compensation if this does happen.

    My Grayson is 6ss max n i don't have this drip plet please refund my all tp coin token

    I’m happy I did not get into the craze of getting Waller to 6ss… After the debacle of changing Rocker’s and Nakamura’s moveset, (it made Rocker better while Nakamura worse) nothing like this surprises me anymore.

    Why not start nerfing Melo because of how he is in showdown? Take the Anti Sub off Bray and Tech Becky while you are at it?

    This is why probably Scopely should have the CC’s possibly test the new characters out privately during the week before the big reveal instead of bum rushing it and have it released without any testing or QAing them the day of the release. You all say the MLCs and releases are planned 6 months in advance, but lately seem like it’s last minute and hiding behind WIP and Subject to Change almost all the time.

    Only reason why I really stay in this game is because of friends I made and the faction I’m in are fun bunch of people to be with. It’s changes like this that makes me take a step towards quitting for good.

  • i just put a badass jacket plate on his strap and ultimate defensive black plate and you are saying it would be changed and i spent so much on him money and in game coins to upgrade him this is not good decision just reconsider it please

    The smart thing you could have done was to rework the drip plate. That plate is op and you removed the ability to get it. So you know you screwed up.

    So, Instead of fixing your mistake, you screw over everyone who has Waller that dosent have Drip.

    Fix that plate!

    I like and agree with this change. Waller looping forever with an item that is no longer available takes the game to a bad place.

    People are complaining and I understand some of the concerns, but candidly I don’t see how anybody thinks setting their phone on the table to autoplay a card indefinitely and checking back every ten minutes is what a game should be. It’s a video game, not a production bot.


    Scopely, I would say I hope you learn some lessons here around quality assurance. This all could have been avoided if you understood how the game is actually played. You didn’t fully understand the implications of the drip plate when you released it, and you’ve been playing catch-up ever since. With Waller, people were infinite looping him with drip plates literally as soon as he was released. Any knowledgeable players could have told you how this would go.

    Thank you for making showdown one small step closer to what it is supposed to be and one small step away from “let’s see if you have this unobtainable item and want to turn your device into an RPA vehicle for 30 hours.
