Best Of

1. Dark Pheonix - You are putting an untested champion as the final 'powerful" champion, which is questionable, but could be fine. What's definitely not fine is that you've removed the cosmic champion from the crystal in order for her to be final milestone. Having less new champs in this crystal means its overall value is significantly lower than the omega days crystal. Not only that, but a year later the 7 star basic pool has much less value for most people than it did prior. Also, locking a "potent defender" behind 36k units doesn't sit well for obvious reasons. That's all very shady if you're keeping the price the same as last year, and will compound problem 2.

2. RNG insanity - I and many others were under the impression that the box gotcha system was aimed at doing away with the pain points involved in spending 36k units on RNG crystals, but you decided to take the less fair option. Everyone is going to love their 5 Apocalypse dupes, just like they loved their Sandman dupes. With only 5 heroes in the crystal, bad luck will be far more punishing and good luck will be less beneficial.

3. Magik Nerf - You say you're putting Magik in the game, then you bait and switch by announcing it's a nerfed version that will be added next year?

4. Twitch drops Bugged Again

5. War "Thing" - A lot of players consider war the only game mode that doesn't need a major change, and would rather you focus in other areas of the game. After raids being so unpopular people are apprehensive about a war change.

I'm trying to stay positive and open minded, but this being the livestream that follows a soft boycott might indicate what level of trust we should have in the game team.

UNits arent easy to come by

1. They kind of are, for people who play the game regularly. First of all, here are all the units in the game, more or less: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/385738/how-to-get-units-in-mcoc-in-2025-its-like-2024-but-with-fewer-typos

Summary: you can get almost 9k units a year for doing almost nothing. You can get over 70k units a year for playing the game moderately. An F2P player can get almost 80k units per year spending less time playing than the average person spends watching TV.

2. You're complaining about the highest reward in that particular event. A reward that will eventually be in the regular crystals for everyone to get. And you expect to get that reward with an amount of units most active players in the game accumulate in a month or two.

It isn't Kabam that is greedy, it is you that is greedy. You expect to get everything for nothing. You play this game completely for free. Games don't fall from trees, they cost money to make and money to operate. And yet you can play the entire game completely for free. But that's not enough. You have to have all of the rewards immediately or else the game operator is "greedy." Greedy because they make one thing require spending or just a reasonable amount of activity. Something even F2P players could get if they wanted to, so it isn't even paywalled.

F2P players can get that thing immediately if they are active enough, and spenders can get it immediately if they want to spend for it, and everyone else will ultimately get it regardless eventually. And *this* is your example of how greedy the company is? This is the lightest form of monetization that exists in the world. Most people wish car manufacturers were as greedy as Kabam is.

It is true not everyone can spend, and not everyone can grind, even the ludicrously small amounts required to get thousands of units. However, for people unable to spend any money and any time, they can still actually play the game and actually get a ton of stuff completely for free. They get a lot of stuff from even the greediest events, just not everything, and they even get practically everything eventually. To me, if that's not enough for someone unwilling or unable to spend and unwilling or unable to grind for even a moment, their expectations are fantastically unrealistic.

Not much time left for unit grinding after reading through your movie scripts. goddamn!
