Exactly as the title states. Prestige is an arbitrary number assigned to a champion almost at random. There is literally nothing more to what it is or represents. Nothing. Roster depth is a concept which is supposed to reward having a breadth of champions to tackle challenges and has everything to do with a champions KIT. Crucible rewarded roster depth. Prestige gating rewards ranking champions… based on their prestige. Karolina is better than surfer in every conceivable way yet if kabam was to be believed (or anyone who repeats this nonsense), ranking surfer represents achieving greater roster depth given his placement in the prestige chart.


No. Prestige gating is meant to do one thing: hard check you on whether you have the latest champions at the highest rank. Nothing else. If two players rank 4’d and sig 200’d 30 champions and one simply chose to rank champions from before 2023 while the other mixed in people from 2024/25 we would not be able to speak to their roster depth at ALL. However, we know definitively who has the higher prestige because they intentionally creep out older ones. Kabam wanted a method to further incentivize the newer champions and assigning them a higher value then tying your rewards to it is just the medium they chose. Dont believe me? Just take a glance at who comprises the top 30 prestige champs and see if you notice a pattern in the recency…

I know a lot of the community is frustrated right now, and I wanted to take a moment to try and put some smiles on your faces.

Our puppy, Luna, just had surgery to get fixed/spaded and I thought I'd share some pictures of her before and after.

This is Luna Isabella. She's my new emotional support puppy after we lost Inara in February.

She is sending you all well wishes and much love throughout the battlerealm in your future success!
