DISSAPOINTING! I just want him to be a 5/5 defender as he was sold as and listed as. Don't poop on me and call it rain Kabam. I get he is the highest prestige champ in game now but he was created to be 5/5 defender, thus why I spent a lot of units to get him. I don't need him to be a good attacker as that's not what he was billed as nor a dual threat. A brand new 5/5 defender should not be getting nuked already. My R3 Sig 80 has already been manhandled by Hit Monkey, Red Skull, Okoye and Crossbones in Mysterium this current meta. Bullseye and Serpent were brand new 5/5 defenders and they were great defenders deserving of 5/5 listing. Yuelana 5/5 and Dark Phoenix 4/5 are doing great as new defenders. Hell I'm getting better results from my Gentle on defense than this guy. I hope there is a bug that's interfering with his defensive prowess at the moment or he gets rebalanced before a years time has passed to actually make him a 5/5 defender. These champs I would assume go through testing before their release?

We are in the middle of RAIDS Month:

Week 1 - July 7 - July 14 (Nightmare: Sassy/Rintrah/Gentle + Annihilus boss)
Week 2 - July 14 - July 21 (Nightmare: SpideySupreme/Maw/Spot + SuperSkrull boss)
Week 3 - July 21 - July 28 (Nightmare: Mangog/Terrax/Destroyer + Air Walker boss)
Week 4 - July 28 - August 4 (Nightmare: SuperSkrull/Annihilus/AirWalker + Doom boss)

Couldn't find anything in the announcement about what is going to happen next after RAIDS Month... With RAIDS, generally we do a RAID week then 3 AQ weeks. Does that mean we start a regular RAIDS week August 4th or will we go into 3 AQ weeks, or something else...?

Thanks

I mean this is literally what the raids month announcement said..

It's another case of Kabam using words that can be interpreted differently, like when they said the banquet crystals would have less filler.
The regular cadence would have the regularly scheduled raids week as next week, so it could mean that. It could also mean that the regular cadence resets with three weeks of AQ starting out of the normal order.
So who knows.

What? They literally wrote to you that after a month of raids, 3 weeks of Alliance Quests will start right away. What else do you need to write to make you realize this?

This much outrage on simply a gamemode that you can easily ignore is crazy,
It also gives good rewards for minimal effort so won't advice to ignore.

you completely missed the point or chose to ignore it. it’s not just ‘something you can easily ignore’ — they purposely stuffed it with great rewards so we can’t ignore it. that’s the issue. it’s low-effort, off-brand content shoved into the game with insane rewards to force engagement, not because it’s fun or good.

acting like that’s fine is how we keep getting more of this lazy design.

“We can’t ignore it”?.
I have since last Wednesday when it was released,..did one run of it for 15-20 minutes and I haven’t been back since,.,and I won’t for the remaining tine it’s available.
I don’t think the rewards make it worth playing the mode,.,(it’s that bad),.,so i don’t.
…see?,.., it’s easy.

okay, you proudly missed the point, downplayed the problem, and acted like disengaging makes you wise, when in reality, it just makes you irrelevant to the discussion. here’s why:

i’m pointing out that kabam jammed valuable, top-tier rewards into garbage content specifically to force players — especially competitive ones — into engaging with it, whether they like it or not. It’s not about skipping it, it’s about how this tactic degrades the game design and sets a horrible precedent.

kabam’s entire goal with this kind of content is to test how little effort they can put in and still get engagement by attaching bait-tier rewards. players like you ignoring it does nothing if thousands more cave and buy arcade tickets.

You’re right,..i am proud of not participating in what i do not like and enjoy, and i do find it wise in disengaging in this game mode for that reason.
(Why would i lessen myself by participating in this if that’s my feeling towards it)?
Meanwhile, if you’re the “competitive type”..you should accept that if you are going to 100% every piece of content then some of it you may find wont always appeal to you.
Instead you are crying about having to participate in something that you choose to do because of a bar you have set yourself,..pretty sad.
And nobody is irrelevant in this game no matter if you’re competitive, semi competitive or simply casual as i’m pretty sure this certain game mode is available to all kinds of summoners.
It is also their choice to disregard it or not,..but it’s kind of pathetic when people complain while grinding a mode that they themselves choose to take part in 😅.

man, your responses are full of nothing but deflection and condescension, you just never fail to completely miss the actual point!

you don’t get to dismiss legit criticism from players who did/are engaging with it just because they care enough to clear content and challenges to get good rewards. nobody’s crying, we’re pointing out lazy design and a clear monetization shift. and calling it “sad” to expect better from the game is just weak. you're not above the conversation just because you tapped out early. you're outside of it. huge difference.

you’re proudly sitting out a mode you say you dislike, acting like that’s some deep, enlightened take when all you’ve really done is remove yourself from the conversation entirely!

It’s not that deep,..it’s just logical and common sense,..you obviously have none.
If you don’t like it..:don’t play it.
If you choose to play it (sure you can have constructive criticism,..but you have to remember that it is ultimately your choice to participate).
You’ve just gone off on a endless rant about it and i was very happy to give my initial feedback on it and then leave it be.
I’m on an island in the sun and you’re miserable playing this s***,..seems pretty dumb to me.
Now if you excuse me i’m going back to my island.
Have fun playing game modes you don’t enjoy 😜
