Re: Summoners wake up. New 2 day boycott just dropped
I've never seen a game to where it's some sort of badge of honor to call for boycotts, profess your intent to quit etc. I'm the first in line to complain about the poop controls, AI and other things but I understand that it comes with the territory when you're playing games. They all have issues albeit some more than others.
Background nugget - I've worked in every level of the game industry .. behind the curtain with developers, community teams, event marketing … all the E3s, Comic Cons etc etc. I've been intimately connected to the industry from Microsoft to EA to SEGA to Remedy to Capcom to ID to Gearbox to Bethesda to Atari to Nintendo to ya know .. nerdville lol.
Still, I don't understand the goal of trying to champion a boycott or profess your plans to quit. I'm sure Kabam would fix everything in the game if they could and I'm sure they intend to because it's a company who is in it to make money, pay their employees etc. So it's in their best interest to make sure their game is enjoyable .. with or without previously mentioned boycotts and public quitting.
I just don't get the outrage and what is quite normal in the industry and technology period. What Kabam needs to do is focus on growing a real all inclusive community that spans beyond just YouTubers. They need to hit the ground floor and cultivate a game-wide voice for its players … CCP is one thing but there needs to be more, so that the community at large can feel like it's their game too. Maybe that's the angle they're taking with CCP 2.0.
The more you grow that voice, the more likely it is you'll get the opposite of these quit videos and quit posts and boycott stances. Right now Kabam comes off as a company who doesn't listen to its community. Which is crazy because they do a LOT of listening to the community. But it feels that way because they're really lacking a voice "in" the community. Community is such a slippery slope where games are concerned and it's delicate in how you foster it, nurture it and help it become something that sustains itself over time.

No. I'm not having any fun.
Re: Pls tell what's happening with aw
Where is the confusion then? If you don't play a war, you don't score points, and other alliances that do play may pass you. They froze war rating, so you can't change challenge/map/multiplier tier, but you can still change reward tiers, especially if you don't play.
The good news is, the lack of paying attention isn't going to hurt you because no one will be getting worse rewards than they did last season.

Re: Open letter to Kabam! Don't change the compensation. Inside this thread you will see the truth!
Come on y'all, peixemacaco and "girl" are the same person.
One of them makes 100% "sales are great" threads.
The other makes 100% "sales are bad" threads.
They both live on the forum 24/7.
It's the same lonely guy.

That is consistent with the extension message.
Re: Summoner Fest Rewards
I have my suspicion that they run into this issue for not using percentage based placement like every other event for some ranks.
Re: Summoners wake up. New 2 day boycott just dropped
People quit all the time, and they're well within their rights to do so. Evetytime someone on YouTube quits, the doomsday posts come. There are obviously problems. They know it as much as we do. They're not sitting in an office, oblivious to them.
That doesn't mean there are easy solutions. Believe me, I haven't been happy about the changes, and I've voiced that. I still don't think a boycott, or people quitting, or any protest will fix them any faster.
I do think one area that could be improved on is communication. It's somewhat lacking lately.
The maker review
LACK OF CRITICAL HITS This is very good against champs who punish mitigate or ignore this such as mutants and other champs such as Zola man thing scarlet witch etc. This also means that exhaustion is useless which is good against Jean and captain Britain. Also good against crit resistant champs as it doesn’t matter
BGS He very similar to galan where he suffers in very long fights but is excellent in medium short content. His short rotation of sp1 and sp2 finishes healthpiols in bgs quite quickly. Barely anybody complains about galan damage so i don’t understand why people have a problem with his. He takes on many meta champs such as Zola yelena and all mutant defenders.
MUTANTS Only champ with an ability that is specifically called SPECIAL POWER DRAIN (60%) so for now he’s the most viable captain Britain direct counter released.
NEUROSHOCK AND REVERSE CONTROL IMMUNITY Vecause of this alone, he’s going to invaluable for alliance war and bgs. For this he’s easily the best onslaught Jean grey and captain Britain counter as you can’t reverse his controls he is psychic shielding and they can’t really do anything to severely damage him as he is immune to neuroshock
Passives
HEAVY. This is pretty unique as it inflicts an instant plasma. The only champion that directly inflicts a consequence of being hit with plasma in their description is onslaught , inflicting a neuroshock, which he is immune to .
Additonally his heavy does not ADD TO HIS COMBO METER. This looks pretty niche but this means that for example he can heavy counter gentle without affecting his unstoppable timer. Also if he is hit on that specific node which punishes the losing of combo meters he is not affected in the slightest. Also, this makes him good for knull, as he won’t accumulate darkness, which severely reduces combat power rate. Also he steals combat power rate anyway making him a good knull counter as he isn’t affected by inequity very much. Even if knull stops his evade he’ll inflict an energy vulnerability when duped as a consequence
UNFAZED COUNTER. his passive stun lasts 3 seconds so he can just simply wait it out
IGNORES INEQUITY. Practically, he doesn’t crit and he deals burst damage so he is unfettered by it
BURST DAMAGE This ignores a lot of mitigation which is pretty good. He can take yelena easily because of this and he can take Zola because of this. HOWEVER for Zola you have to stick to sp1s as Zola will cap his sp2 damage. Not sure about his interaction with thanos as I haven’t versed one yet in forever.
SUPPRESSION deals with energise and champs with increased combat power rate. The collar tech mastery also increases HIS power rate too which is handy.
HEAL BLOCK on heavy is pretty handy too
INCREASE ABILITY ACCURACY by 25% makes him a decent domino counter too
HOWEVER he cannot handle bishop unless you don’t bait his so1 and he cannot deal with Havok.
Many tech releases recently cannot deal with Havok though for some odd reason.
He’s a good team player too. Unless you are a tech or one of his direct synergy partners his prefight are halved but this is still handy
25% COWARDICE is pretty handy in case you get clipped
INSTANT SIPHON not to sure about this ability but it does increase his damage which is pretty good. In the deep dive it is used against bullseye but that overall is a terrible matchup unless you are using the doom/ SIM synergy which helps him prevent evade
SPECIAL EVADE when duped, I suggest him duped as it is handy. It gives you more damage gives him stun immunity and can be a life saver if you mess up.
For long fights do a sp1 then a sp3 so his mine overcharges for even more damage . And then eventually a so2 to finish them off hopefully
STUN IMMUNITY Aside from giving him stun immunity which is cool, he can deal with encroaching stun and that stun reflect node in alliance war because of this
OVERALL he has a ton of utility and is really helpful. He’ll shine a lot in AW and in bgs especially. He’s decent quick in bgs and is the safest onslaught counter even if he is not as fast as Jack
CRITICISM Despite the problem with mines in this game I’ve never had a problem with the maker as the opponent does not HAVE to be in the corner. If the ai is being sketchy then sp1 into their block. When they think they have an opening 1 they will trigger the mine taking instant damage. 2 you have ample time to block/ evade
HOWEVER we have to be more lore accurate. He evolved so has no organs so he SHOULD have COMPLETE BLEED AND POISON IMMUNITY
Aside from that I PERSONALLY have no other current issues with the maker ( for now)
How do you guys feel about him?
Btw want to clarify that I am not a kabam employee, as I’ve noticed that poor MSD got it in his videos about hyping up the maker for some reason. He’s actually a really good champ, I was quite wrong about him initially so congrats on his designer, he’s really good! Also very rank in the maker is important imo. He’s doing fine at r3 for me currently ( will r4 him after I r4 zemo first) so don’t think he needs r4 to be good.
Kind regards

also check out JAEGER373 on YouTube he has really good maker showcases
Re: New monthly event - elder difficulty bugged
i didn’t notice any variation like this when I did the path.
Any of my champs who weren’t immune to bleed or 100% resistant got cooked with any more than 1 bleed on them.
Re: Is Zola comp enough
It’s a big part of the frustration. If you opened up all of your crystals when the Titan rolled over to the new champ pool, you were opening a crystal that had inferior champs in it. Instead of just compensating this group, they extended the compensation to everyone after who opened up a Titan after Zola was added back into the pool. The explanation from @Kabam (Osaurus) Rex in his compensation post is to extend it to everyone even if you weren’t affected by having to open a worse crystal. It just shorts those of us who did open all of their Titans with no chance of potentially acquiring Zola.
In the past, they have set precedent that if you weren’t affected by Kabam’s errors you received no benefit. Everyone remembers when they opened Nightmare Raids and it was bugged and so they shut it all down and gave full map rewards plus refunded all the Raid tickets to anyone affected. Anyone who played regular Raids or who hadn’t joined the bugged Nightmare Raids yet before they closed them was left shafted.
That smaller group of people who jumped into the Nightmare Raids that Kabam screwed up received justifiable compensation. No one else did. Now those of us who opened an inferior Titan crystal are given the same rewards as those who opened a better crystal. Just very inconsistent way to deal with things by Kabam.
