Best Of

I would at least like a follow-up response on why they thought this was fair and the best way forward.

this is going to create a lot of tension in unbalanced alliances

This is so unfortunate. All the goodwill following Summonersfest…the hard work @Kabam (Osaurus) Rex , @Kabam Crashed , etc. put in. Ugh. I feel for them.

I’m sure legal considerations required that they compensate those that opened (in honesty it was just a bug…but from a legal standpoint I can see how it could be argued…that is totally understandable.)

The “issue” lies in just how unfair the compensation became. The “lucky ones” like KTI, Vega, etc (and the dozens of screenshots I’ve seen) we given literally thousands of dollars in materials (based on the economy prior to compensation) …while people like me (who noticed about 5 crystals in that it was bugged and did what I thought at the time was the “right” / responsible thing and waited, let them know, etc.) lost out on over 1000 sig stones, 30,000 titan shards, etc.

My being responsible cost me quite a bit… and makes me less competitive against those that (knowingly or unknowingly) took advantage of the bug.

This doesn’t make anyone involved “bad people”. Not the streamers. Not those excited to open their compensation. Not even the people at Kabam. I have no doubt many at Kabam argued for a much more fair compensation. It is just likely that for economic reasons (and perhaps workload/complexity reasons) the more fair situations outlined by the community just weren’t considered feasible for Kabam.

I honestly am kind of at a loss. Not “quitting” or boycotting or anything like that…I’m just disappointed in how it all panned out, unsure of how to properly “value” deals involving 7-star crystals now, etc….just kinda trying to absorb everything.

Mike already gave one. They dont care and will try to do better so this wont happen again

LOL. Or take a shot each time he says "phenomenal" for a champion who will disappear from the decks shortly after adding to the pool :).

I stopped beleiving his champions overview videos and his champions rankings after BRB and Dazzler.
How many times he said they are phenomenal and fantastic? How many people are using these champions now? BRB died right after launch. Dazzler died right after Yelena.
The best ranking for champion is just to watch Beroman's or Cantona's or other top-level BG players streams.

The 31W-82L Paragon.

Surprisingly, none of the reasons you described seem to be the closest to the truth. Let me tell you – the site's author is a former dataminer, someone Kabam fought against, haha

People exploring epoch with her... global chat is full f goofballs.

it’s just intellectually dishonest to claim this comp is inconsequential. And to be clear - KABAM never said that. Only the apologist white knights have made that claim.

all Kabam put out was essentially “we made a decision, got feedback from the forums, and were unmoved”

I think there is only two conclusions we can draw: the game team is completely incapable of calculating the impact of items in the game economy (not likely). Or the game team found the solution that was easiest for them to get the check box checked on correcting crystals and took the lazy way out (most likely).
