Best Of

Thanks, ya i think #3 will at least address the participation. People right now are choosing not to play at all because of the grind and difficulty. If there is a no tag podium, people will at least finish that podium to help the alliance. If they address the prizes by giving prizes at each point milestone instead of just the top prize, it will make the mode more attractive in general.

I think enough time has passed for the pieces to become more easily available. I don't necessarily think that the prices for individual pieces needs to be lowered, but I think they could become rewards in new types of content. If I remember correctly, the last milestone for Solo Coliseum was a Titan Nexus, right? I wouldn't have a problem with a selector in the next round of Solo Coliseum, where you could choose either such a Nexus or a Deathless champ. That would make it a year-long chase to gather all four of them, which seems rather in line with how the original chase was structured. I think that would be a fair way of acquiring them.

Yeah, I largely agree. The thing with the grind is that it can be manageable with a fairly vanilla boss/node setup if you've just got the time, but as we saw last time Alliance Coliseum was around, a hard boss or a particularly nasty set of nodes can really turn it into a slog. The focus on grind over performance (or at least one locked-in performance and then a lot of grind) just makes the mode so vulnerable to frustration whenever Kabam tries to up the challenge in any meaningful way.

It feels like the Solo Coliseum fights are often more interesting since you have the time to experiment your way through them in a way that you can't in Alliance Coliseum. When I tried to experiment with Adam Warlock during the second day, I did really well and locked him in on one of the podiums (despite him having no relevant tags), only to discover the next day that he fit all three tags on the last podium. By that time I had luckily already cleared the solo event so it didn't matter, but it was nonetheless really annoying. I know that Kabam has said that they'll show the tags on even the locked podiums ahead of time in future ACs, which is a good thing even if I'm not sure if it's enough.

Doom. You’ll pick the others up as 7* soon enough and Doom is great for the story content that will get you to valiant if you aren’t there already.

DOom. You wont been seeing him as a 7* anytime soon

Lost my all interest

New valiant players are screwed with this. I am a relatively new valiant player (I'm valiant since october - That means, in october i got 3 R3s, I think I got my first R4 in december), and with lots of units grinding for a good banquet event, and a lot of quests grinding, Right now I am sitting on 20 R4s. They're mainly attackers, since I need them to be able to clear content, so I can't waste resources ranking up defenders. Then my face gets smashed when I fight some mf with a full deck of R4s full of rock solid defenders that I don't have counters for.

BGs is wild man.

If you guys think they are doing this and its because of raids you are really drinking the Kool-Aid. Raids has to be the most unpopular content in the game. They are not going to improve or increase the the number of people playing by nerfing the champs that were most likely ranked up specifically for that game mode. This is like nerfing Spiderwoman because she is a good defender. This is a nerf for all burst damage champions. They didn't even use the word burst damage hoping you wouldn't connect the dots, its literally a tag in the game called burst damage but they used the word echo, that is intentional. They do not test their game and this will affect every game mode. When has Kabam ever, in the history of the game, been honest about their intentions or communicated anything in the proper way. The truth is they haven't and this is no different. The new currency is a reset of in game currency to drive offer sales, this is a nerf because champion acquisitions are the driving force in sales and they have to nerf them to keep coming out with other champs that are stronger than the ones that came before them, otherwise there is no incentive to buy new champs unless they are better than the ones you already have.

"We consider this a problem..." this phrase sounds familiar
