So there’s really no urgency to become Elderly

I said nothing like that.

I don’t enjoy BGs and also think it’s unhealthy for the game (from a character design perspective, not your reasoning) but I wanted to respond to this point:

“But the rewards are good? They are! But they're so good that you cannot keep up unless you play Battlegrounds. If you dont play Battlegrounds, you get left behind unless you bust out the platinum card”

Can’t keep up with what? You only have to keep up with BGs if you are playing BGs. While it would be nice to have more R4s and R5s if I had BG rewards, those additional R4s/R5s don’t do anything for me in non BG settings.

If you don’t play BGs, you are not left behind in any non-BG mode.

I’m Elder without any spending since BGs existed, and I don’t play BGs unless Kabam puts a chase piece in there. I’m not missing out on anything (except Magik) by ignoring BGs, and I certainly don’t feel “left behind” .

BGs is not the primary money maker for Kabam. Exclusive sales are. Only stupid people think that BGs is keeping the game alive.

Elder is barely a month old. Gonna have to wait.

What a villain move Kabam. Decisions!!!! Wasted dust thanks guys :(

just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything

I'll gladly stand corrected. But what is the point of your post? Where else is the dust supposed to go? Use it or lose it. Kabam thought it would be fun to give players too much and it just isn't working out well for a lot of players unfortunately.

should make ROL 2.0 same defender. But way more hp and no reward. Maybe just maybe a few exp tokens. But honestly a ROL 2.0 Without rewards i wouldn’t mind.

Yeah, I've really enjoyed the other three fights, but this one was a huge miss. I actually had more issues in Threat Level 4 than 5. In 5, I had the required combo-focused champions ranked up, so while it took longer than the other fights, I did get him down eventually without too much effort. However, when I then tried doing it with 6*s, I realized that I didn't have any champ ranked up who could ramp up a combo quickly. I have plenty of 6* skill champions ranked up, but none of them build combos in the way that's required for this fight. That started being a thing in that class after I'd moved away from ranking up 6*s, and it meant that I had to get to those 990 hits with normal 5-hit combos. Which was just….ugh.

Requiring a long combo to reach all of those fury passives isn't necessarily a bad idea for the skill class, but I think you would have to cut the required number of hits in that combo drastically. Even Mr. Skill Rank-Up Extraordinaire himself, Stellar-Forged Star-Lord, caps out at 400 hits. Having you ramp twice that and some change (with no other champion being able to even get close to those numbers of hits in that time frame) just seemed needlessly excessive.

I tried using Aegon since he would theoretically reach his max potential at around the same time he'd hit the max number of fury passives, but he had no chance of getting there within the time limit. It just seemed really and strangely restrictive, and it's not like you did enough damage at, say, 20 fury passives that it didn't matter if you never got up to the full 99.
