Bring Back Duels!

This is something that may get some initial laughs but before the end hopefully people will like it enough!
There are new people to the game that would benefit from the system of the duels (free shards and fighting practice).
Then there are the veterans of the game that have no time for such menial rewards. But if they bump them up and the difficulty then that would be awesome! We still get duel credits, I just sell mine I don't even use them because dueling a champion isn't enough incentive for me. I gain nothing from playing a simple champion. There are some champions like Emma and IMIW that may require some extra practice for people. So here is my idea!
Uncollected Duels - You have the added benefit of a weekly duel that is tuned up to AW standards. Machoism, Buffet, etc.... Make the matches the hardest champions in the game to fight! The ones that we all know are hard to fight. We all know that Joe FixIt, Spider Gwen, Electra etc.... aren't hard to fight at all. Some good thought went into all the champions mechanics (except Spider Gwen, seriously update the SP1 to something cool). But some enhanced Uncollected Duels for some good rewards for such alliances.
Some of the rewards for milestones could include 4* shards, 5* shards, BC, gold and maybe a new crystal to drop just boosts?
That would be a good start to bring back an old event and make it better for the veterans of the game.

read the post I am asking for increased difficulty and better rewards.
The new rewards you posted could not be incorporated, which is why I ignored them... Don't assume I didn't read...
This was an ALLIANCE event. Not everyone in an alliance is Uncollected... therefore, the rewards could not be awarded in any consistency on an alliance basis. Rather than point this out, I rather say flat no as the rewards would have to for EVERYONE and this could give smaller alliance an unbalanced reward structure that your idea of Uncollected was trying to prevent.
Just think about how fun it would be to play a Node 29 version tuned up Killmonger for better rewards. I am not saying have the old rewards, I am calling for tuned up champions to fight for better rewards for uncollected people.
I did read it thanks.
Still no
They already have tiered crystals for people who have completed certain content. And who said it had to be an alliance feature? It could be a your own personal daily event.

But hey, I am just thinking outside the box here.
I read it but my opinion is still the same. It was a waste of time. Plus like another person stated, you can still duel people if you need practice. And I don’t think buffing the rewards and reworking the event the way you stated would be enough to get others interested again.
Most thought Duels were a waste of time. Arena events have the same connotation, it is a grind fest and is very boring to say the least.
Unlike say Villian or X-Men or Avenger events which promote using a specific type of champion in arena or content to generate points for much higher rewards. This is pretty much the replacement of the Duel event and promotes using different champs to clear content and get points.
It also has a better reward list.
My advice to you if you want engaged difficulty is join a line group out there that does duel challenges. These are a lot of fun, and best of all you learn new counters and abilities that you may not have known about. Check Reddit for those such groups and get invited by one of their mods. Good luck
I like how you talk about the arena event being a grind fest, but you proceed to say you've gotta do arena for Villian, X-Men, & Avengers. You might be able to do regular content to get rewards, but it's still grinding. Having to complete act 4-5? Grinding. Completing eq? Grinding.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
For every single duel, you have to:
1) Push search
2) Type in a name.
3) Select name
4) Select Duel
5) Hit Continue
6) Select your Champ, hit Start
Now, you finish the match, can you just hit "Rematch" or something, immediately fighting the same guy using your same champ?
Nope, you are kicked back to the home screen, and you have to start from step #1.
Fix that, and then duels won't be so reviled.
I didn't say you gotta do arena to qualify for the those events, just that it is one way to get points. You can also do events and storyline content. You just have to use champs from that faction. it is still grinding, but at least you get a lot more than duels... Duels gave you very little gold and and BC. The rewards for the Duel event were mainly PHC shards at best.
There is that too... Each duel was a labor to conduct for the pitiful rewards.
I'd love to have duels with node 29 Killmonger, Boss node Medusa, etc. Don't think they will do it because they want us buying potions, but it would be good.
I read the whole thing and think its a great idea
This would likely have to be a Solo Event. A weekly Duel Challenge if you will. Complete X number of duels with Y number of Buffs. Or perhaps make the weekly Buff part of the Challenge. It would be like giving the players a functional 'Danger Room' in essence. Personally, I love this concept. The rewards would ideally be tiered to the highest progression title the player has.
Number of points could increase per the tier champ you utilize for the fight. So those who really got the skills to break out their 2 and 3* champs for a rough battle would better be rewarded for such. Higher tier champs award less points. In turn, giving new uses for those lower tier champs collecting dust in some players rosters. Hey, it's a fun idea IMO. No one would be holding a gun to your head to complete it. You can choose to NOT do things in this game after all, lol.
They should have a area to search champs and practice who you want though... totally all for that.
