You made the decision to leave and not claim the token. If you wanted it, you should've played your cards better.

If only the game engine and servers could match the complexity of current and new champs…

Re: I've reached mental capacity for champions (and what that can mean for the game going forward)

As somebody who has had a very bad memory my entire life, I haven't been able to remember half the champs abilities for at least a couple years now.

The champs are only getting more and more complicated and I'm already to the point where I just watch a couple videos about them, learn their basic rotation and go with that.

I don't remember half the abilities so it does screw me up in bg's alot, and down the road may affect it even moreso than it already does.

I'm not getting any younger and not gonna spend hours learning how to effectively use every single champ I use, their ideal rotations for each matchup, who they're good and terrible against, and every other intricacy of kits.
I go in, punch things and hope for the best.

I've reached mental capacity for champions (and what that can mean for the game going forward)

1. Dunbar's Number is a sociology concept about the ideal maximum community size of approximately 150, with that being the limit to how many relationships one can maintain.

While not an obvious connection to that concept, I feel like I've reached my limit of champions I can hold in my head.

Looking at Solvarch/Cassandra's abilities, my eyes glaze over and I can't remember in detail what they do even an hour later. This has probably been the case for most of the 2025 champions. However, I can still tell you that off the top of my head that Vox's SP3 can neutralize Inhuman champions (even though I've never used it) or that Kamala can nullify buffs (despite never actually using her). I just think that I can't stuff any more champion knowledge into my brain.

2. Champions are getting more complicated, and the number of champions is constantly growing as well. For normal game modes, this doesn't really matter since you have time to plan and resources (potions) to retry. However, even for game modes like Arena, this starts becoming an issue.

For competitive game modes (AW, BGs) this means that most casuals won't be able to keep up purely from a champion quantity/quality perspective. While one could argue that a player only needs to commit 30-50 champions to memory each month (based on meta relevancy), it still is a mental ask that not all players will be inclined to continue. Setting aside complaints about matchmaking, I wonder if there will be a natural attrition rate just from there being too many champions.

I don't think this is an actual problem, its intrinsic to the game (2 champions added each month) and just the natural progression of the game (champions have to be different from pre-existing champions). But I just think it highlights that this game will have a shelf-life for old farts like myself.

Re: How to Not Lose Points to Modders

It's cool that Lagacy didn't get screwed over by this lowlife cheater.
But why can't Kabam now go back and delete the lost points for everyone else who got screwed over by this cheater?
It literally took these Kabam bros 30 seconds to move the wheels of justice for Lagacy.
They must've been parkouring across the office trying to help their broski.
Yeah I mean, I'm happy that Lags got saved and the cheater got banned.
But why does that mean we also have to be happy with a clearcut case of selective enforcement?

I've seen this on nextdoor/facebook when I used to still go on those sites.

The police would respond immediately to a robbery at a rich person's house, and other people would say, why do they never respond like that when we call about intruders in our homes.
And then some frequent commenters would always say stuff like: "Shut up and just be glad the police caught the robbers this time."
What's even crazier is that these frequent commenters weren't even affiliated with the police department in any way, and the police itself would never try to defend its actions like that.

At the end of the day, the facts here speak for themselves, and I'm seeing this being talked about in various other channels.
So everyone is entitled to their opinion, and there is no need for me or anyone else to keep posting the same opinions again and again, so I'm out on this one.

This isn't a case of the police being called and arriving quicker to the folks they favor. This is a case of the police being present when the crime is happening and doing their jobs. Completely different scenario.
