Best Of

It’s mostly just the podium leveling grind that’s a problem. I enjoy taking shots at a superboss much more than the monotonous grind of the same set of easy encounters in an AQ map even if it’s harder, but it’s not like most superboss fights (e.g. an EoP encounter) where you retry until you get a good solo and job done. You can get the best fight you’ll probably ever manage within your first few attempts… and then you have to repeat that 10 more times to actually get some more meat on that scoring run. It’s kinda demoralizing to have your good run set only for it to essentially “not count” until you grind some more.

I also think it’s weird that this only takes place over 3 days. If it’s replacing the 7 day AQ cycle, why not just let people put up scores the whole week? As is, it puts a lot more pressure to grind podium EXP quickly before the event ends, which in turn just makes the experience more frustrating than if you could ration those attempts out over a longer period of time.

I get that Kabam needed some way to monetize the new mode, and I appreciate the idea that podium levels give less skilled players a way to make up for poorer raw fight scores with time and effort, but it feels like it has too much impact on total fight scores in its current state for anyone to really feel comfortable ignoring it. The coliseum fights are not dynamic and difficult enough for me to enjoy throwing myself at them dozens of times, and it definitely shouldn’t be that difficult, but that’s exactly why the grind shouldn’t be such a prominent feature.

10-25%. Don't get tricked by people on the forum, the majority here may be 30k+ points-wise, but this majority is the 0.5% of the playerbase.

in previous years it’s always been 1*s (they give the most) and 2*s

You will find out when it comes?

Ummmm… I would never characterize Nick as mid.. But to each his own I guess..

Have you seen this? He shuts down the science class.

Can also take on some hard defenders.

They were never making changes to it with a two week cycle over the holidays tbf.

This is the third or fourth comment I've seen from you today going on about someone presenting a different perspective - you'll likely run into less frustration once you learn to engage with different opinions without taking things too personally
