I don't entirely understand the question here.
We consistently release new Champions to the 7 Star pool in various ways.

There are 8 new 7 Star Champions coming in August -

Are you wanting us to just mass drop every 7 Star into the pool all at once?

Quote a simple question really. What’s stopping you from increasing the release cadence of champions not available as 7*’s?

We’re already at the rank 4 progression of 7* and there’s a lot of champions not released in the highest rarity. At the pace we’re on we’ll be moving towards 8* before the full champion pool has been released as 7*’s.

That's exactly how it was with 6* though. We had a ton of 5* left behind for a long time.

It was obviously a few years ago now, but I don’t recall the release cadence being anywhere near as slow as it is for 7*’s currently.

There's a reason for it that Mike already stated. If they give us all champs in-game as 7* right now, what exactly would there be to look forward to? Also, how would you rank any of them up? There's a reason the game drip feeds you champs and rank up resources. You'd play for a month tops, get bored and delete the game. That's basically a console version of mortal kombat.

This thread isn’t asking for all champs to be released in one go. It’s questioning why certain champs who don’t particularly need a tune up or buff aren’t being released.

Its literally why though. They are spacing them out. Not that hard to understand.

Because the pace we’re on it will take another 2/3 years to see some of these champs…

Which fits right in with when 8* will probably start to be seen. That's part of the entire timeliness of how often they release old champs at the new higher rarity. Its all connected. They have all this timed out in advance. They know the lifecycle.

We obviously disagree on kabams approach.

7* were released in May 2023, so over 2 years ago. Waiting another 3 years, (or 5 years in total) for all 6* champions to be added to the 7* pool would be questionable to me.

At that point there’s literally no point in releasing them, because as others have said earlier, they’d be completely out of date.

Good thing you don't work for kabam though. They apparently know what they're doing and are happy with the approach. And I guess yall seem to forget that when 6* came out we had significantly less champs than we do now. So when they do start rolling out 8*, you might as well be prepared to wait a few years for your old school favorites to release as 8*. I mean, it makes absolute sense when you actually stop to think about why it's being done the way it is.

One thing I’d like to clarify (and I think your post supports this point) is that I’m not referring to champs like Herc or Doom or Quake. There are host of favorites that aren’t coming soon or at all and I’m at peace with that.

Although he’s probably a bad example, I’m referring to champs more like Rhulk—a champ I didn’t really use as a 6* (although he’s fine), but who has at times been a staple for me as a 7* pull for his poison and incinerate immunity.

I’m not saying I love Rhulk, but timing of his entry into the Titan allowed me to appreciate his utility in a way I never did when he was only a 6*. I imagine the stat boost for a champ like Wasp or CV or Cable or some
of the others I mentioned in my initial post would make even more of an impact.

I play the game to have fun. Champs are the vehicle I use to interact with the game and to have fun. There’s no reason to dump a batch of them into the game suddenly, but I’d enjoy seeing more of them get worked into the game in more varied ways.

Well, what reason could there be for them to buff every champ before 8*? If they buff every single champ in the game before 8* come out what will there be left to buff then? Sure you could argue certain 7* like DDHK and Red Hulk could receive tune ups but realistically they would run out of those very fast unless they just start releasing new mid champs every month, and yes this is thinking very far ahead into the future but it's what makes sense.
If they want to keep the game alive for years to come they have to drag this thing out as much as possible, if they buff all the champs we have left right now then 8* won't be as interesting.

By the time we reach 8* level a lot of current mid to slighlty useful champs become completely useless, so they can tune up/buff them. So they wouldn't run out of buffs.

But Thing is they couldn't buff all the mid champs eventually they have to release some like og cap and og daredevil as it is as 7*.

You say that last point like it’s a completely ridiculous idea, yet that’s basically what was done with every new star level up until this point… The only reason this seems ridiculous to you now is because many 7* are now paywalled or event locked.

I get you guys have your reasons, but dude, you really need to work on not sounding so condescending to legitimate questions and concerns on the forums.

That is not how Champions entered the pool in previous rarities, even when the Champion pool was half as large as it is now; it would be a bit ridiculous and unrealistic to launch 300 Champions in the new rarity all at once.

If you're reading my questions in a condescending tone, then I'm sorry it came across that way.
Tone through text is often interpreted the way you want to be reading it.

It was a legitimate question as to whether that's what was being asked for here -
And if that's what the ask was, I can firmly say that is not going to happen based on various reasons outlined in this thread by myself and others.

It's not so much about dropping them all at once as it is about making an existing champion's release more special than a new champion, and then on top of that charging an arm and 36 legs for them. The releases don't need to be as dramatic as they are, and they certainly don't need to be as money hungry. Why can't new rarities just release like they used to?
