I will ask for a refund for the purchase of sets of books, if you treat the players, then you have the same attitude

Seriously, how is this a champion rebalance and not a complete and total destruction of Steel Bowyer?

You reduce her A3 from 3 attacks to 1, AND increase its cool down by a turn (it also seems to crit less than before, but that could just be bad luck on my part)??

The result being that my lvl 50 champ that used to do ~1.2 million damage a key on CB normal now does ~350k. In what world is this a rebalance? I could possibly see the justification if you made her viable in other areas of the game, but that's not the case either.

Steel Bowyer was already a knock off Coldheart that wasn't as good and now you've completely wrecked her without providing any sort of compensation to the people that used her.  This is a terrible way to treat your player base. I will no longer be spending money on this game

You said the champ was still viable against CB - with attack at 33% of pre nerf that is either a lie or you are deluded.

Complete waste of my time and money. The rare tomes are lost and it will take weeks to replace them as you have decided that to provide any measure of compensation.

Easy fix - quit the game and play something else.

This champion is now my first 6* in the Vault because you can't use her anymore. Nowhere!

Sorry Plarium but you're digging yourself a grave. Every word you said was just simply to prevent the sh*tstorm and now you got it. I hope more and more players see what kind of game you play with the ppl playing your game.

Saying she will still be "viable" and just gets a little adjustment was simply lied into the faces of the users. The players who brought her to 6* can't even use her as fodder. F*ck the skillbooks, gimme 5 5* chicken and 2k energy for Minotaur as compensation! 

Hello all! The SB will be nerfed in 1.10, as you may have already heard. The downgrade won't be critical. The champion will still be great for Clan Bosses, as well as for Dungeons. You will find out more very soon.

I have been silently observing what is going on with this game and on this forum and now feel like is time to speak up as well.

I do not frequent this forum on a daily basis but I was lucky enough to read this announcement in time.

I did not invest skill books but I have invested time and energy to level up the character to 50 and unlocked the first two mastery tiers.

From my point of view the skills of this character are just of use for Clan Boss therefore I also spent time and energy to farm specific equipment.

What I expected after reading the announcement was a slight adjustment that would put damage output in line with Coldheart.

I fail to see how Steel Bowyer after this patch is supposed to be a "viable" character for Clanboss.

While not all posts are phrased politely I feel like the customers are right to be angry.

This drastic change should have been announced in the in game news section and players should have been compensated properly as the update was released.

All energy, skill books, silver spent in this game have a real world money value.

If characters are changed in such extreme ways customers need to be provided with the option to transfer skill books, mastery scrolls and equipment to other characters. 

As others suggested a compensation in the form of energy and chickens spent on the character seems reasonable as well.

Customers need to be able to trust that the time and money they invest in this game are treated with respect.

Yeah Standard answer from the support. I demanded compensation, they came with "if you have login problems, please try to use a vpn". I think there are no words I can use right now which aren't against the tos here. 

It has been said before here but if it's true: you nerfed SB into uselessness. She was good agains CB, but not the best on my team (Jotun outperforms her in every fight in damage output and durability). She was ONLY good against CB, but now even that is gone.

I received a response that I would not be compensated for maxing out all skills for steel bowyer. I have wasted time, energy, and money leveling up the best champ I could obtain. I will give plarium a week to compensate me (books/energy or return the champ to its previous stat line are what I see as “fair”).

Wow so I wasted all of the resources and TIME getting the steel bowyer to 50 for her to get nerfed? And I’m not getting compensated for everything I invested? Looks like I’m done spending money on this game. Turned into a complete waste of time and effort. Once you realized the champ was getting nerfed why didn’t you disable her instead of giving people a month to waste a good portion of resources on her. ive spent well over 100$ on this game to get one POS legendary (ma’shalled) and now I’ve had about enough with this steel bowyer scenario. Reducing the damage of an ability on a champ by 66% isn’t called nerfing them it is completely destroying them just like you are doing to your fan base. 

It's actually more than 66 percent when you add in the increased cool down

I do not agree with some of your ideas. I think that energy is free, so mastery scrolls won't happen. Even if you bought energy in a pack, it still makes no sense. 

As for chickens it is a shady area are because on one side you can technically use any nerfed champion as food. On another if u paid money for 5* chickens and used them to lvl up to 6* you are losing out a lot, but I cannot imagine them lvl down that hero. However, without an option to refund books invested plarium ties ours hands from using that nerfed full of books champion as food because its too precious. It is like throwing money to the bin. 

Books should be returned to people that pay for them because nerfing a champion is devaluing the value of that digital asset bought with money. 

Ideally a method to track all purchasable goods like books and chickens should be developed to track where this resources where used. If any nerfed/buff do happen an option to return these should be presented to people as a form of good will.

We all know that books are not cheap, thus please keep that in mind Plarium and do what is just.
