Best Of

The fundamental shame of social media is that reasonable people tend to be quiet and unreasonable people tend to be loud, even though they are much fewer in number.

I think i can speak for a large, quiet fraction of the playerbase when i say your posts are always appreciated, @Kabam Crashed . It's obvious to us how much you care about this game and this community and how much work you put into both.

First I want to recognize the work the community managers do. I believe you all put in a lot of effort, which isn't always appreciated by the players who tend to focus on too much negativity. I am also not absolving myself of that either, which is why I say thank you now.

Secondly, I want to add a little "old guy" perspective. I have children who are young adults, and I watch and understand how they like to obtain their information. The vast majority of the time this is through pictures/videos on instagram or tiktok or the like. And I will also admit that my demographic is less likely to be the majority that needs to be targeted for information dissemination. With all that being said, watching videos for information is the last thing I want to do. If I want to know something I want to spend 30 seconds reading a synopsis or 10 seconds with an infographic. I just don't have time waste.

This is purely my perspective, and maybe mine alone, but I suspect there are others out there that would be much happier if we just got a blurb to read. Thanks again for your hard work and consideration. Cheers to a smoother future!

I like Pinwheel, he hasn't been corrupted yet

Happy Halloween everyone !

As the November Live Stream has ended, it’s time to make some updates.

After not-so-careful consideration and feedback, I decided to open a new section and picked an orange background (for absolutely no reason) for champions we know are coming as 7★ but currently have no way to obtain.

That being said, it’s time to update our — so let’s get into it:

1- Orange section opened for champions that are not obtainable. These champions are ;

• Ultron (Classic) – Level 70 Reward
• Toad – Next batch update
• X-23 – Winner of the Rework Vote
• Rhino – Updated, not released
• Magik – Radiance Store (no information yet)
• Super-Skrull – Updated, not released
• Yondu – Updated, not released

2- Cassie Lang was announced as the Eidol Replacement, so she has been removed from the picture.

3- Yondu and Super-Skrull were announced as Regal Ravagers Sale Event ( Cyber Weekend ) champions, so they have also been removed from the picture.

4- Jane Foster and Nimrod were announced as the first two champions for the Banquet Founders Keeper Box, so they’ve been moved to the bottom of the picture until the Banquet event.

• Disclaimer : Just before the Tech announcement, I got SOOOO excited for a second thinking Mike was about to say “Ghost makes her return” but it didn’t happen. Last time, this happened just before the Super-Skrull announcement when I was expecting Doom. However, the Ghost disappointment hit 10× harder for me.
  Mike, if you’re reading this — I know you’re a huge Ghost fan. She was your second ever 6-star rank 3 champion. I have faith in you. <3 @Karatemike415

5- Absorbing Man was announced as the first champion for the Banquet Realm Event, so he joins Nimrod and Jane Foster in the orange section.

That wraps up the update section, but before finishing — I wasn’t expecting to hear Brian’s voice, and it honestly caught me by surprise. I’m genuinely happy to see him again and know that he’s doing okay. We’re missing you, Egg Man!
Also, I believe that video might be the funniest thing this game has ever had. Huge thanks to you guys for the effort.

Now, I want to make some predictions for the Banquet event. However, it’s a bit tricky since we don’t know which class is getting the second rework, so I’m going in blind.

Banquet Founders Keeper Box

• Air Walker or Thor
• Magneto
• Taskmater ( rework )
• Scorpion
• Mephisto

Banquet Realm

• Valkyrie

If anybody made it to this point — thank you for your time, and see you in the upcoming weeks as we get more announcements for the Banquet champions!

Hey all, just want to clear a few things up before we close out this thread.

First and foremost, I owe the community at large an apology for how I responded earlier in the thread.
In response to an accusation of engagement farming, I laid out the (poorly worded ) reasoning for exactly why we re-stream our content, which was to enable as many Summoners as possible to participate regardless of timezone. To be clear, this had nothing to do with our ban. And because I had eyes on what our actual issue was with Twitch being music copyright, I failed to realize others did not have that same context and only had speculation to go off of at the time.

Additionally, I think after Summoners Fest, I was caught off guard in reading some of the feedback and my response lacked measure in a deliberate choice to deliver it bluntly and sarcastic. That's not okay. And for that, I apologize. Not my best day, and not my best work.

As you probably know by now, the truth was never blaming the Community for our ban. But my actions lent fuel to that speculative fire, and I take full responsibility for that.

I'll do better moving forward.

See you all around the Battlerealm.

I appreciate what you’re saying, but I will say this in regards to the AI: if Crashed and every other developer knew how horrendous the AI is, why are you incorporating nodes that are AI reliant? For example, in BGs the current GC meta is Intercept. Last time I checked, you need some heavy AI cooperation to succeed in that. Yet, despite the state of AI, this node was still incorporated. It does not make sense.

I’m not saying developing AI 2.0 is easy by any means, but when you know AI is bad, you should not actively develop or add AI reliant nodes/mechanics/etc.

My concern is around the champ specific catalyst needed.

This leads to the potential of being locked behind a paywall. Groot, taskmaster, jubilee you earn in events, for serpent, Nico, Nefaria buy deals...

I would like to keep playing this awesome game for many years to come. I found it really enjoyable. I don’t care if I’m not a top player. I play the game because it makes me feel good and forget the sadness that wants to defeat me. I don’t want to play other games. I found what I was looking for. I hope they listen to the players and fix the problems.
