You can still use 4* champs, just not in Act 6. And those 6* champs you're ranking up? One day, there will be content you can't use those in either. Does that mean you're going to stop ranking up everything? Because none of your rank ups are being put into champs with an infinite lifetime. That kind of guarantee doesn't exist in this kind of game.

What’s the point of ranking up any champion honestly, seeing as we all just dust in the wind of a simulation that could end at any moment.
I dont understand why anyone is surprised. This is typical out of touch with the player base kabam. They dont care. Now, in kabams defense, they are a company that expects to make money, and since this is still a capitalist society, they are entitled to do so. The fact is, though, this is a complete money grab for them. This borders on segregation of players....those that can and will spend money(high rosters), and those that cant or wont spend money(lower rosters). I just still get surprised that anyone gets surprised at the moves kabam makes after all these years. smh
Its being done to stop people from just using 1 strong champion and boosting them to **** with synergies. Ghost, Corvus, Aegon, Blade. As even in wars you see people bring a 5/65 ghost with 3* wasp and Hood just fornl synergies.
We're seeing your concerns, and desire for more clarification on the Champion Requirements. We're going to write something up to clearly present our intentions with these requirements and their purpose. We don't want to create any more confusion, so we're going to take our time with this. We'll have something to give you insight into our intentions tomorrow.

Would have appreciated some advance warning, a fair bit of rankup materials went into 4* champs with utility (given how variant was setup)... of course the act6 content should be challenging but this is poor communication yet again from developers.
Its permanent content. Why would you need advanced notice? Nobody made you rank 4*'s for variant.
Everyone should protest this! You can’t use 4* in Act 6. This is wrong! What if you don’t have a lot of five stars, or you need synergies with three or four stars. I’m done with this game. Stupid!
Is this your game? Nope... They can do what they want.
why do we have this discussion thread here and in talking bout it in the main thread? it makes it hard to follow. we should have this discussion all in one place
It's very simple if you don't have a good roster your not ready for act 6
True by default. I have a good roster and will be fine but it ought to be about skill. I'm liking this move less and less.
True skill is measured by what you can do with less. So o see both ways here 4 stars being fine and removal of synergies people grew to rely on. Either way I'm all for forcing people to.change how they play
But they've made it a point to make characters terse who need synergies and having characters who instead of revamping them just made them better with a certain synergy so this just seems like its countering everything that they've been setting up so far.
No, they didn't guarantee you would be using 4*s in Act 6 by introducing Synergies. Somehow, people made that long-drawn connection because they don't like the news.

Uhh no champ NEEDS their synergy its a bonus.
I'll give one example... antman
he doesnt need it. they are not timed fights. without it he sucks and may take 500 hits compared to 150 with it but he doesnt need it.
While I agree that it sucks that act 6 chapter 1 does not allow 4* champs, therefore ruining slot of synergy teams, in their defense kabam never said all of act 6 would have the same restriction, so we shouldn't jump to conclusions just yet.

Guess its a git gud scenario
But if you're gud.. you're probably able to clear with 4*.. but guess not anymore lol
Every Champ is a standalone. No Champ NEEDS their Synergy. They're enhanced by them, but they work just fine without them.
Needs have prerequisites; MODOK needs Abomination in order to reliably regenerate health.
You dont need regen it's a bonus. Point proven same for ws and antman those are still bonuses
Drooped2 is undercover Kabam mod trying to do damage control.
What damage control? This community is so hypocritical. They complain about getting 4*'s at a "high" level and dont need them any more. Then all the sudden new content comes out where you cant use them and people go bananas. Ya'll need to grow up.
There’s a big difference between not having synergy because you lack a certain champion and it being impossible to acquire that champion in the first place. Ala Abomination’s vital synergy with MODOK.
Well then that means you can't use the MODOK Synergy. There are enough Champs in the game.
