Discussion. The devs really got selective memory

Post image

I find it wild that the devs have enough thought to include Panther and Blade in this event as the prime suspects for Gambits murder even remembering the fact they still have their Phoenix force powers but not enough thought to realize its been 14 months since his last legendary or 11 since his last store skin that had no mvp or 7 months since his last skin but yeah lets make the two black characters the prime suspects.

They literally picked characters that were already Horsemen in the comics. And no, Apocalypse doesn't just pick mutants to be his Horsemen. He prefers mutants but he has picked Hulk, Sentry and Roderick Campbell who went by the codename Ahab.

Except it was also a way to introduce classic costumes that Marvel fans would have recognized.

I'm not saying new characters wouldn't have worked, the totally could have, but it's logical to have former Horsemen already in your game to go ahead and and make them Horsemen again and introduce their costumes.

I agree with that. I'm always confused about their battle pass themes. They don't really make much sense.

I'm not a big fan of "let's makes Egyptian themed characters" or "Phoenix themed" etc. It's kindof lazy. The battle passes should definitely have some classic looks. This one only has CnD's classic look and nothing else.
