Champ acquisition is extremely painful
Todays OG Thor offer got me thinking.
If anyone's ever gone after a champ they want, they know the process very well:
1. Drop 33 000+ units on feature grandmaster crystals for a chance.
2. Grind 700 rounds over 72 hours and or spend several odins on a 70m+ grind.
3. Wait months for the champ to go into the featured pool for a 4.2% chance that also comes with a very mediocre basic pool.
4. Wait several more months for the champ to go into the basic pool for a 1 in 115+ chance.
If we're exceptionally lucky and spent several thousand dollars pulling him and using rare t2as, awakening gems, t5b shards, and precious sig stones, by the time we get them ranked up they will no longer be as effective in the meta as hard counters have already been released if not hard nodes counters in war that weaken them.
If we're lucky and they're still useful, they won't be for much longer as the game has been pushed into the 6* meta and we have to go through this mind numbing wallet killing process all over again.
This is a serious issue with the game. Champs are so difficult to acquire and the time we get them and rank them up, they're not as useful and the game's moved on. There has to be something better than this. It is extremely frustrating to see your hard work and money go to waste like this.
