This may just be a personal preference issue as I'm selective about who I rank up, but it is slightly annoying having the excitement of pulling an ascension, then realizing the champ is at r1.

Everyone says to view it as 8*, but at least if they released 8* with the current ascension pool they'd start at r1 and already be up to par rank wise with our current highest 7*s. Many people have ascended champs that they haven't ranked because those champs don't aren't as good as meta champs. For me, I've now pulled Mr F, Howard, Storm X, & Hit Monkey. Prior to ascension, I only had hit monkey ranked up. If this had been 8*, all 4 of these champs would've been much more viable.

It's too late to do much about Ascension, the opportunity was probably spent six months ago when CCP or a group of players could have provided some thoughts.

Making all/most Greater Empowered (7*) crystals into Nexus crystals could help a bit. It would at least give us some choice over who we wanted to Ascend and give us, as players, a measure of control and agency over how we grow our rosters.

I kinda don't agree with this statement. I wouldn't call it being punished. You just don't get the ascension period. Its a perk of spending the same as early access to any paid champ you had to wait for a year to join regular crystals.

People need to stop over victimizing themselves.

Oops, yes, that was my mistake. Again, this ascension system is quite complex and kinda confusing, there are a lot of parts to it…

But I think i did correct myself in a later post, I guess I expected that getting an ascended NEW champion will be extremely expensive, it is essentially trying to get an 8 star new champion. When 7 stars came out (correct me if I am wrong). I don't think we had a way of getting NEW 7 stars other than valiant crystals also (until the Titan system came out). If you don't want to spend on valiant crystals, the only thing we had was the 7 star base pool, which is filled with mid champions, my first two pulls are Silver Surfer and Bishop, which was depressing because I saved for months for those two crystals.

I guess all I am trying to say is this ascension thing is not that much different than when the 7 star came out. But the benefit is that at least when we do pull a NEW 7 star champion from Titan, we get to ascend it later. So in way, if we wait, our 7 star can become a 8 star (ascended 7 star), which is something that Kabam hasn't done before and I think that is a pro-player move.

To respond to @Sean0333, yeah, that is a trade-off and that does kinda suck. I wish pulling an ascended 7 star will immediately boost its PI to like a 7 star rank 3 or something, that will be nice.

sadly, this is the non sugarcoated answer.

I just wish they didn't mention in past livestreams that we'd expect to see less monetization in the game, when recent events including this, suggests the opposite. It leads to a Jaded effect and many players quitting as a result

This game loves me

i opened 40 regular, 6 titan, and 1 5 choice titan and didn’t get strange. It happens.

My condolences

And the skill issue saga continues.

Dude, just quit. You blame everything but yourself. Face it, you either suck at the game, or just like to constantly whine. Which is it? Or both....
