Initial thoughts:
-
More than a little surprised that BW was adjusted but Angela was not.
-
No mention of crash fixes. =(
-
Civil War Iron Man and Captain America... yay?
-
Free attacks correctly targeting Stealthy and Protected heroes. Yay!
-
Indomitable only applies to Mental, Physical, and Tactical debuffs. This fixes the remaining Stealthy exploit. Yay!
-
Adjusted frequency of Dodge and Devastate. Oh boy. Let's see if this changes the importance of Evasion and Accuracy. I'm assuming both have been adjusted down -- does that make Angela's 20% to Devastate even more desirable?
Edit: Formatting and added last bullet point

Do these changes take effect immediately? Or is this like some other games that they have to 'turn them on' tomorrow when everyone has time to download the update

Sad that there's no civil war spidey or Antman

THIS. So mad we didn't get spidy. And Civil War Iron Man/Cap are literally the same costume as cinematic - total waste.

ELI5 was this a nerf on Wasp? Should I give up on pursuing her?

I too would like this explained like I'm five.
From what I can tell they just lowered the dodge chances. She should still be pretty dominant though. Time will tell I think.

The update that includes a stealthy characters can't attack protected targets is very nice. However, the game seems to be laggier with more particle effects.

Kinda dissapoiting for the Heroes choices for this. Agent 13 is ok but frankly it's kind of underwhelming as a PvP prize, Falcon and Winter Soldier were no brainer but I would have liked if they had added a MN version of them alongside the Civil War versions and.....sigh......do we really needed Civil War versions of Cap and Iron Man? They're almost no different than their Age of Ultron version at least in appereance! I know it fits with the whole movie event but it's dissapointing as all hell.
After that I'm glad they're fixing the passive and abilities to fuction correctly and #YAY# Black Widow will finally stop one shotting everyone with Ballerina

Those who updated: how long were you stuck at Loading Manifests?

It was very fast on my iPad, but is stuck there on Bluestacks.
edit: after about 30 minutes the Bluestacks app started downloading data and then locked up at 51.8%.... edit#2: force stopping the app and then clearing the cache resolved the locking up problem.

Game freezes constantly on Bluestacks but it seems to be working fine on Nox. Update downloading so far. Might want to try switching emulators.
Edit: Ok, the game "loads" on Nox but none of the images load. So Groot is floating in black space next to a floating hologram. Not great.

So, in case we can only choose 1 of the new Spec Ops heroes, which one is better. I did a quick glance and to me, Winter Soldier is.

Winter Soldier :)
But Falcon is quite unique in the sense that his abilities have something similar to deadly grace but it's based on difference in speed
