I am really very disappointed
(Yeah the ban doesn’t affect me one bit tbh.)
I read your post. You had an issue with the guy commenting and saying kabam officially said that 4* were too weak. you then go on to say this isn't necessarily the case just that using 4* could lead to frustration. Is this not what you said ?
I said it may have not been officially said but it was implied. So again i ask you what could cause players frustration if not that they are too weak for the content ?
You said Forgive me if i'm wrong but you are saying that "MANY" players attempting to use 4* "COULD" have a frustrating experience and that is not debatable and is "UNDENIABLY" true. Well i say to you that you have no evidence to back that statement up as anything other then your opinion. For starters this is all hypothetical as act 6 is not out and people haven't attempted it with 4*. Even going on the UC monthly quest
1) You do not know how many of them are frustrated with a certain match up or mechanic
2) You do not know how many of them are frustrated because of an entitlement complex where they feel because they have completed previous content they should be able to complete this
3) You do not know if people are frustrated because there is an issue/bug in the game which is prevent them from doing it e.g. lag on darkhawk fight
4) You do not know if people are frustrated because they have bad luck in crystals and don't have the champions they need or want to tackle the content
5) You do not know if people are frustrated because their not skilled enough to do something consistently such as dodging certain specials.
All of these reasons equally could apply to 5 and 6*
So i would argue it's not using 4* which is causing the frustration but the reasons for having to use the 4* which essentially pertains to their bad luck in crystals.
Now your response has shifted away from your original statement regarding 4* and act 6 and moved onto talking about allowing people into difficult content above their skill level and roster strength causing frustrations as being true, which i agree this would be frustrating. This however doesn't have anything to do with 4* as being a road block in players having skill or roster strength. People have actually been building their roster with all the tools available to create a strong roster that can tackle challenging content, which has been done this way due to the RNG nature of the crystals. The example you gave implied that 4* are the reason we see frustrations by people in the uncollected EQ as you made a statement regarding 4* and then going on to say we see this happening now. However you finish that example by linking the frustration of players to a sense entitlement, as they feel that just because they have become uncollected means they should be able to do uncollected EQ, which has nothing to do with 4* specifically. There is countless videos showing people tackle these quests with 4* and we even see some people do it with 3*. This just proves that it's doable if you are a skilled player. So players frustrations aren't related to using 4* but their skill and sense of entitlement for meeting the prerequisite
So what have i not read ?
Also On the one hand you are saying it's impossible to know in advance if someone can or can't do something so banning them is impractical and on the other you're saying Kabam know that only a small percentage of players that will try it with 4* will be able to do the content so is one of the valid factors for this gate . That to me seems contradictory.
Indomitable nodes everywhere
someone said that kabam said that 4* will be too weak. Then you said that was false and all kabam said was using 4* could be frustrating.
I said they may not have actually said they are too weak for the content but it was implied. Do you disagree with this?
What could cause 4* to be frustrating if not they are too weak to take it on ?
Also this response has shifted now from 4* in act 6 to skilled and roster strength in taking on difficult content, which i would say is not impaired by 4*. The game has been designed that roster strength is affected by RNG and as such people have strengthened their roster with 4* where they are not lucky enough to pull champions to counter certain game mechanics.
Your original statement said that "MANY" players attempting act 6 with 4* "COULD" have frustrations and that was "UNDENIABLY" true. This is not a matter of fact and is simply your opinion. Act 6 is not out so this is all hypothetical.
Also there are many reasons for players frustrations such as
1) Having to use champions that isn't as easy as other champions due to bad pulls
2) Not being able to get past a certain mechanic /challenge without a suitable counter e.g. iceman's first introduction no one was happy about having to take that unavoidable cold snap damage. Very limited options at the time.
3) having bugs when taking on the content e.g. lag for dark hawk, the fatigue debuff in variant
4) having a sense of entitlement that just because they are uncollected they should be able to do UC EQ
5) not having the skill to consistently avoid specials or certain damage
6) frustrations to changes to AI or AI speed or AI interaction e.g. not throwing specials
all of these equally apply to 5 & 6*.
the only reason i can think of which would cause frustration in using 4* is they are too weak for the content, which to be honest I can't really see people stating I can't do act 6 with all 4*. Do we see the same with all the content now in regards to 3* ? No we don't because players know their is a higher rarity of champions to look to.
Also your example that i allegedly didn't read talks more about peoples sense of entitlement to completing content just because they meet the requirement for it. I find it hard to believe people complain about not being able to do the monthly UC EQ with only 4* and the actual reasons for peoples frustrations I have mentioned above, which equally apply to 5 & 6*. Here you say on the one hand you can't know in advance if players can do content or not and its impractical to do that and then on the other hand you're saying kabam know that only a small percentage of players can do the content with 4* and thus that's one of the factors for this gating. Well unless you work for kabam then you don't know what they are "saying" by this gate anymore then the rest of the community. Also you are contradicting yourself here.
If i have misunderstood or misread what you have put in your post, then please elaborate and point me in the right direction.
