It's not about just catching up. At this point to even play the game you have to pay. Like imagine you just pulled a new champ from a titan. You cannot take that champion to the highest level unless you spend thousands of dollars.

And beyond that, the game should give ways for even free to play players to compete.

I mean we know what ascension will be like already though, it coming to the game doesn't change the fact that most of us won't be able to ascend new champs.

pretty sure theres a difference between not having the resource because its simply not attainable for a year vs spending 1000$ ion a singular champ for that resource

I feel the same way. This whole ascension idea seems rushed and they still had about a year to decide what to do. R5s are barely accessible atm. And theres like 10 r6s in the whole game because of banq?

It isnt even weird to say. 8*s would have been much better than this in its current form

Its kind of weird to say, but I would've rather had 8* than whatever this ascension stuff is. Ik you’re scaring people with the thought of 8* but ascensions seem way less incentivizing. At least with 8* you get the thrill of chasing and opening your fav champ in the crystal. Now you don't get that because ascensions are just a basic upgrade to the champ you already own which btw 2 levels isn’t even equal to 1 rank on a 7*. It would suck to have to re-sig an 8* but at least it would be fun to chase my fav champs again and have a cool new ability like adrenaline and stat focuses.

I spend on average about £20-25 per month across the year including the monthly sigil sub. Maybe a bit more but not much. I feel that plus arena and content grinding allows me not to swim with the big boys per se, but at least feel like I’m skirting round the edges. It means I have a roster that can cope with most if not all content out there (not the skill I hasten to add, just the content), and I’m happy where I’m at.

Once ascension hits that kind of spending won’t touch the sides, so where’s my motivation to spend anything at all? There is none, I’m not getting close to end game rosters and I have no desire to spend that kind of money on the game even if I had it.

Once 9.4 comes and goes so will the monthly sub. I might do a platinum track depending on the champ but that’s it. No cyber spending, no banquet spending. I can accept that it’s back to casual gameplay and I’ll find one thing else to spend my money on.

OP is saying that if they knew that, they would have waited for the rollover too.

But with the information available pre livestream, OP thought the only way to get ascension materials for Lizard was opening Titans before rollover.

It's a good point tbh

exactly, its too expensive, and thats for 1 champion ! for 1.. so if u want to ascend all new champions..

lets do the math.. 2 champs a month. 72k units on average. ($6000), yearly thats $72.000.

what the hell man… what the hell…

Disgusting greed. That's what it is. Nothing more, nothing less. They expect players to spend hundreds a month on a mobile video game and even then you're still not guaranteed to remain competitive and relevant. Every 6 months they come up with something frustrating and greedy to make their fanbase furious and then they say they realise they missed the mark and promise to fix it. Few months pass, same thing. Money, money, money. Disgusting.

At the same time there is barely any fun content in the game, they think grind until your fingers fall off equals fun. BGs that are somewhat fun, relevant content but will become absolute nightmare with that ascention pay wall nonsense.

Makes you wonder what genius is making these decisions in Kabam.

I play this game for a decade now but I am so fed up with this constant monetisation. Pop ups, deals, pay wall, subscription. Where does it end? Is this game made for Sheiks and lotto winners? Ridiculous.
