WTF!!!!!
a handful wont throw off balance but everyone will??? what are you smoking dude!!!!
balance is even...
unbalanced in well, uneven....
a handful of people ranking better champs throws off balance as they have an advantage other dont
if everyone did it then it would be perfectly balanced as it is a level playing field.
simple..
if everyone has the same thing these scales stay balanced no matter how good or bad that thing is.
the moment that some get something better the scales tip to one side creating imbalance.
Even if that were true, which it isn't, my quote which you misapplied was about why there shouldn't but punishment with loss of rewards, bans, etc., as people were suggesting. They shouldn't reverse the rank up and then not give the correct gem.
@MrMaat It wasnt a generic gem, class specific. People have been factually incorrect on this including one you tuber who put a generic in the thumbnail.
You can troll with one post but whatever.
generic as in not restricted to 2015.....
Now, with most of the 2015 champs it might FEEL like a punishment... But that's a discussion for another day.
i tried to edit my post as to not cause any issues.
however it is waiting to be approveed.
and currently removed.
here is my edited image.
better @CoatHang3r ??
Such a shame there is no integrity to be found with this company.
The undeniable fact is that in similar situations in the past, Kabam has actively punished people for such actions. For them to not just skip the punishment (which most don’t want anyway), but also skip the appropriate correction, goes strongly against the precedent they set.
It would also be an undeniable fact that in the past Kabam has let people keep items that they recieved in error. Sentry comes to mind and there are others. So no there is not precedent, every instance of error is generally unique and must be weighed with both impact and culpability in mind.
Only 2 people on my block list reminding me why they’re there.
There’s a few examples in this thread and through YouTube of those players receiving the gem, realizing it could be misused, and decided not to because they were aware of the precedent Kabam set with punishing exploits. So yes, there is precedent. Receiving items in error is different than knowingly exploiting a loophole. You’re the one grasping at straws here.
Precedent where? You keep saying this but it is not sellf evident.
I’d be angry too
@BirdReynolds Laughably bad analogy, those who grasp at straws while living in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
Your argument that “it was brought to their attention and they fixed it quickly so no harm was done” is completely INVALID as a stance towards fairness
Killmonger Indestructible bug; Beneficial: Fixed in about a week.
Magik gaining Sp2 power from 0% opponents; beneficial: fixed in like a day or two
Medusa Living strands removing only a few fury and debuffs; beneficial: defensively she earned them item use/sales and took about a month
Archangel Neurotoxin stuns; beneficial: officially told as working as intended they reneged that stance and “fixed” the interaction
Drax: took 2 years and virtually ended up with people having wasted resources LONG after it was revealed to be a but but decided to keep it and later suddenly patched it
IMIW, defensively profitable: left for a month, allegedly fixed and then fixed again after the first one didn’t work.
Their track record sucks especially thanks to the DRAX one being heinous as they over fixed him out of paranoia. Yet they still allow AA and X23 to do what he does except with better heavy attacks.
The only time they’ve ever allowed long term beneficial “bugs” to last that long is in the odd case between Archangel and Drax. One of which is borderline wariyed resources afterwards and Archangel was made so OP anyways that they STILL haven’t “fixed” everything as his heavy still bypasses Mordo because unlike with Drax who relied on the niche of bypassing evades, Archangel is intrinsically OP by conception
We thought it would be helpful to let you know that only a very small percentage of those players who could access the content ranked up non 2015 characters. Approximately ~0.008%.
While we appreciate the suggestions to roll those accounts back, it’s not something we will be moving forward with.
Rolling back ranked up Champions sounds straightforward, however, the reality is that Champion progression is incredibly complex. It very quickly becomes almost impossible to cleanly reverse and has the potential to cause even more challenges.
We know how important the competitive balance of The Contest is to all Summoners, ourselves included. Which is why the competitive modes rely more on breadth of roster and Alliance participation than any single Champion.
These decisions are difficult for us to make, especially when it may result in disappointment. We carefully consider the scale of the impact, the feedback we have received, and use all the technical resources at our disposal.
Again thank you very much for your passion and dedication to The Contest, we have many more great things in store in the coming months. Keep an eye out for our upcoming anniversary celebration!
