Wow… they really confused me on this one.
I really like his Champion Spotlight details

Bong!

They do seem to be doing this more with new champs but I would love for them to go back and add it to old champs as well. I think since ramp up champs aren't as viable anymore, a lot of them could use an addition like this.

cuz he dumb

Bong tier confirmed

I thought Dr Bong would be science, skill doesn’t make too much sense. Does that mean Ruby will be tech or science

Taking off my lurker panties and putting on my poster pull ups... The game's still fun for me. I lead a mediocre alliance full of good dudes. And sure there's plenty of issues, we all know them, but I'm about to rank my first R5 and pretty excited about that. It's gonna be serpent, cause I really like questing with him.

Hoping the game pulls up from this nose dive. It's been the only thing I've played these last 10 years, and want it to keep going.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. After reading through your notes I do think you missed the point of some of my post so let me try and clarify.

1. The game modes I named are all game modes I myself consistently play or others in my alliance and in the community who I talk to play. Ultimately it does depend on how much you want to do for your account. For instance, solo raids, while not feeling necessary for most, are one of the most consistent ways to level your profile which is important to a lot of people. I know many players who do it daily just to level up. Similarly you can get units just by doing the daily quests and super event, i think in a month you could get around 1500ish if you don't miss any of it. While thats a good amount, its miniscule when we consider the big sales we get. So if you want to spend units on those, you definitely have to supplement your units with arena. If you don't care about those sales then yeah, you could get by with 1500 units a month but often those sales have the best rewards in the game so many people don't want to miss out. Aside from that the larger point was that the modes we do have that we play regularly like AQ/AW/BGs, etc. are all very grindy. I maybe could have made that clearer. Also you are right solo event no longer exists for BGs, this was a long post and I had to edit it to make it even shorter so a couple of mistakes were bound to slip through.
2. Monthly balance patches was just my suggestion and it wasn't the only suggestion I gave. It wasn't meant to be taken as a strict demand like "give me this or I quit" it is more so just a suggestion and a way for me to express that there are ways to balance the game. I tried to offer "solutions" for problems I mentioned to highlight that this is meant to be constructive criticism but all of it is in the spirit of starting a dialog and none of it is a strict demand.
3. I think a lot of people initially were excited for ascension because it was advertised as an alternative to eight stars. However, I think as more was revealed we realized that its just as bad if not worse than eight stars. Ask yourself, how is ascension different from eight stars? It's another instance of having to pull champs from a new limited pool and a new crystal. It has a new mechanic and increased stats. And does ascension respect your current roster? I would say no, because it doesn't matter if you already have the ascendable champs or not. You have to pull them from the new crystals for them to be made ascendable. For example lets say you love Mojo. You have him at r4 and sig 200. You are not ascending him until you pull him from the new ascension crystal. It doesn't matter that you invested in him this much. Even if you hadn't invested in him you could pull him and then invest in the ascendable version. Ultimately, its the same as a new star level where we are just chasing a new big number. If they wanted to respect our rosters we would have gotten the ability to choose what champs we can ascend. I hope that makes sense but to make it much more simple the threat of 8 stars should not be used to justify the problems with ascension.
4. If every game mode gave good rewards, rewards wouldn't lose their value. I think you are treating rewards similar to champion power levels. Champion power levels do depend on the other champion power levels around them but that's not the case for rewards. The value of rewards isnt based on the rewards in other content, its based on what resources are most needed for accounts at a certain time. To give a very simplified example, if every piece of content in the game gave r2 7* mats and only AQ gave r3 7* mats then that wouldn't mean AQ is giving "good" rewards because r3 7 stars are no longer the big chase. Again this is a very simplified version of it, but I hope my point is clear. Reward values are based on what players need and so if every game mode was equally rewarding, it would not diminish the value of the rewards.
5. About the suggested Titan reworks, again only suggestions if you disagree with them that's fine. I do think Titans are readily available enough to most endgame players that the changes I suggested would be beneficial to all. As for the Titan reset, again, you missed the point of me emphasizing that a change like that would only work if the crystal was made rewarding enough to motivate players to open them.
6. I don't think shops are bad either. I do think they are less satisfying however. I certainly don't want the shops removed, my point was more so that rewards do feel less satisfying. I think there's a balance to be found. Something like the latest Carina Challenges, which don't rely on a new currency but instead give out great rewards for simply completing content.
   

Hopefully this cleared up some of the confustion. Thanks for sharing your thoughts

Absolutely agree. Consumables should 100% all be percentage based.

yes i enjoy it. i like collecting champs, i like opening crystals. i like working towards difficult content
