Re: I JUST REALISED THIS IN ALLIANCE COLISEUM
Realized that very first time Ally Coliseum was around.
When they game us a ton of FREE Podium Upgrades to use.
Those that weren’t playing at all could just pop theirs onto teammates podiums who actually were playing.
Or also, because the higher you take a podium, the LESS cost effective it is (increases by same flat multiplier each time, but takes escalatingly higher # of podium rankups to do it), people could make sure that those playing had their lowest podiums ranked up to at least 2 or 3. Instead of continuing to take your own up higher to like 5 or 6, etc.

Oh darn, I hope no one in my alliance raises my score with their disposable income or addiction to crippling debt...please don't...
Re: PRESTIGE, BATTLEGROUNDS, RADIANCE, MAGIK
Unrelated but if you think these battlegrounds experiments weren't coordinated with the release of Magik making radiance harder to get you're sorely mistaken.
Release old character everyone wanted -> make her shiny for a limited time and a load of radiance -> make radiance harder to get -> introduce cash offers to buy the tokens so you don't need radiance -> $$$$$$

Re: PRESTIGE, BATTLEGROUNDS, RADIANCE, MAGIK
You can get in with a lower prestige and $$$. Remember that shields are 90 units a pop but you can buy an unlimited number of them. I have a prestige of 29.5k and ended up using 4 to get in. 1 with one victory required in Vibranium 2, and 3 shields in Vibranium 1. I think I only actually needed two of them but you know how it goes, use a shield and win a match.

I used two to get into GC 🥲 why were players with Rank 5 still in VT a day before the season ended and I was honestly lucky to even get to V2
The issue with Ascension

This right here.
So these were the free crystals so I'm not raging here or anything but the idea behind this for people to spend, obviously. If I was a whale and dropped 24,000 units to pull and already ascended Mr F I would actually lose my head.
Now this pull is worthless, like genuinely worthless. I have to hope to pull him again and if I do the ONLY reason he will get ascended is prestige, which is boring. I chase prestige, I rank the top 30 but realistically most of them are descent champs, some even top end Meta and the odd Silver Surfer, Dani who will never be used in any content is fine its what you have to do for prestige.
But I've already ranked 4 Ascended champs to R4, all 4 were meh and solely for prestige, I look at the rest and 80% of them are meh champions, obviously by choice from Kabam but nobody wants to rank them, they'll be done for prestige and I personally top appreciate having most of my highest ranked champions being unusable.
This needs to be fixed Kabam, it was a bad idea to micromanage our rank ups like this and it's a bad system. Andy left because you have taken the choice away from us and he wanted to ascend one of the f*cking champions he just knows the chances are so so low 😂
I personally think you've really messed up here and don't know if you are going to bother changing it or not, but for sale of players actually enjoying the game, please do
Value your playerbase’s time (Coliseum Rant)
However, a big portion of the community are working people with jobs etc. As one of those people, I don’t have the time, nor do I want, to spend 3 days trying to bring down a stupid defender multiple times, level podiums etc.. in order to score higher and get the rewards (crazy good rewards nonetheless).
In short, Kabam has to make podiums 7 days long (instead of 3) like the rest of AQ modes. Alternatively, it has to come with an explanation as to why they insist on this 3 day duration. It genuinely doesn’t make any sense torturing their playerbase and don’t respect their time.
