A neutral ground in the midst of darkness
It's your favorite, most positive, most pro kabam, never been jailed, forum member back again to make a post you'll all enjoy.
On a serious note. I did want to invite genuine neutral discussion here that is removed from the stream of negative threads.
I'm going to start by saying something so controversial yet so brave. ON PAPER the changes to prestige and eq have massive potential and is interesting. But its something that needs to be handled with care.
However this is Marvel Contest of Champions, so we of course have the worst version of the idea with the worst way possible to implement it.
In theory, tying rewards and eq to prestige provides both kabam and the players with a simple means to implement and receive infinitely scaling rewards. In that system, no reward or player would get left behind.
Therefore i can see why they expanded prestige to more than 5, it would have been way too easy and fast for players to hit the maximum for rewards. But for the life of me I dont know why they jumped to 30. 10 or 15 would have made more sense for the first iteration of this. Maybe it could have moved to 30 later down the line. But off rip it was too careless.
I'm not so ignorant as to think they didn't think about this but I am however skeptical that the version of this we received is what they envisioned. Id like to have faith that this idea was more thought out and just poorly implemented.
For the eq, at minimum, they should have found a way to have the valiant eq rewards be the floor for the valiant progression.
For the eq design, it makes no sense to force players to go through a worse version of thronebreaker eq just to get to the valiant gauntlet. Kabams marketing the past few months has even been leaning into that as a positive for the valiant players. "Look at all the stuff you dont have to do!" To "now you have to do it and it's so much worse" is a really bad look.
I do also have a couple suggestions and after I'm handing the mic over to the community.
- I doubt they can reverse the top 30 prestige at this point. They're too deep in. But what they can do is adjust the scaling and thresholds. Maybe it cant happen this month but it can be done next month.
- Remove the classic difficulty requirement. You guys prided yourselves on moving away from that only to backpedal and make it worse.
- find a way to make the floor for valiants the rewards for valiant eq.
- Shuffle prestige values to make the unbuffed, almost unusal champs the lowest and raise the prestige values of champions people use relative to however prestige scales. (This one wont happen but would be nice)
Again. The potential is there and I can see the vision. But currently, it sucks. No easy way to say that. But it can get better. Kabam really should have kept this one on the stove until they were SURE it would land

SERVER MAINTENANCE SEPTEMBER 3RD, 2025
Kabam you are seriously taking a **** on your whole fanbase! Especially free to play players. I feel the same should be renamed contest of compensation! You role out with this new format and it just screws everyone over with the numbers they duly earned in prestige across the board. I for one am thoroughly disappointed and dissatisfied with your alls unprofessionalism through all this! You still owe the whole fanbase multiple compensation packages....but I bet there will be no bugs in your tier'd payment offers...you literally have a massive marvel community that has rode with you for years...to devalue the Marvel name like this is a direct slap in the face to Stan Lee! I could go on and on and on about this....make it right for us all! If you actually want an experienced marketer email me... Cause your commiting the same thing Cracker Barrel did to their fanbase ...
Incompetency
Funny how every update they have to take down the servers because they don't know what quality assurance is. Even more troubling, if a situation is beneficial to the player in any way, immediate maintenance. If a "bug" is in their favor i.e. a.i recovering faster than it should, "deal with it we'll get to it when we feel like it".
We are not your beta testers, do your own in house testing before rolling out any updates on live servers. The fact they dont know this yet screams utter incompetency or willful ignorance. Put half the effort in the rest of the game as you do in you "sale events" and maybe the state of the game wouldn't be as big of a joke that it currently is.
