    They arent coming back. They have no plans to issue any and no champs need them. Make educated rank ups or just be happy with who you rank. Stop asking for RDTS

    You can't say they aren't coming back - only that when that was posted Kabam didn't have any plans to bring them back. And January 29th was a long time ago...
    If people can keep asking for them, I can keep saying they're not coming back.
    Ok so we agree then - we can keep asking for them.
    No we don't. People should stop asking. There isn't a single good reason for them. No champ has been nerfed or fundamentally changed where you cant use them anymore like 12.0. They shouldn't have ever given them during xmas either.
    Ok so we agree again then - there wasn't a single good reason to give the Christmas RDTs out, and yet THEY GAVE THEM OUT ANYWAY. We can keep asking for them.

    No. They have no use in the game. They are horrible for the game itself. These stupid threads start back up again 1 by 1 and clutter up the forums and they keep getting shut down. Focus on making good rank up choices or rank ups that male you happy and stop looking for a crutch.

    They gave them once, as a surprise, to prepare for the upcoming year, I believe. The following Christmas we got an AG. Was so glad they never fed into it again. LOL.

    I'll gladly keep arguing in this thread until it's shut down as well. There isnt a single person who can give a valid reason for Rank Downs.

    I have a pretty good one:

    Therefore I’m entitled to everything I want and get to complain about it until I get it

    Was there any champs nerfed since 12.0? Nope.

    Only valid reason I need and needs to be.

    No there weren't. But we got some at Christmas, which means Kabam had a valid reason to give them out that, surprisingly, was unrelated to champ nerfs.

    I don’t see the issue asking for rdt diring summoner appreciation month.

    I’m a summoner and I’d appreciate a rdt.
    Some of the player base arnt so fortunate they can even get enough 5* shards in 3months to open a 5* let alone like some who are able to earn at least 1-2 alpha 2 cats in a 10 day period.

    To me getting enough alpha can be a huge task so wanting and asking regarding rdt shouldn’t be a forum war between the playing community because some have recourse that even a rubbish 5* get treated with love.

    No you wouldn't. You aren't any different than the rest of the greedy masses here. You wouldn't rank down a champ without getting resources back.

    Actually, as someone who argued against RDTs prior to the Christmas ones, the Christmas ones actually had a justifiable reason for their existence. They were a gift. That sounds weird, but there's a difference between issuing them because one or more champs are seen as problematic by some small segment of the player population, and issuing them because you're just giving them away. When you issue them to address a champion issue, you reinforce the notion that player rank up decisions can be based on the idea that the game has permanence - that players have a right to expect the devs won't change the game in the future in ways they don't agree with. That's an unreasonable expectation, but RDTs in that situation imply that expectation is something players can reasonably have. In my opinion, RDTs are dangerous to issue in that situation because you're undermining a core foundation of operating the game to your own (the developers) detriment.

    But when you just give them away, you aren't connecting them to any incorrect player perception of how the game works. In that situation, RDTs are not that much more different an award than giving out rank up gems based on the highest rank champion the player has. What we call an RDT is in a sense a rank up gem that requires us to rank down something first. A rank up gem is generally even better, because we get the rank up without the need for the rank down. So if it would be entirely fine for Kabam to give out rank up gems for Christmas, it has to be perfectly acceptable for them to give out rank down gems, because the rank up gems are in all respects better.

    RDTs are a tool, and tools aren't good or bad. It is how we use them that make them good or bad.

    Do you still need the definition of an, exception?
    At this stage they've been given out twice. Once for champ nerfs at 12.0, and once for no reason other than to 'prepare' us for the new year. They've followed their own 'rule' once, and broken it once. You might well assume that the 12.0 RDTs were the exception 🤔

    I make plenty of mistakes. But I take a long hard look at who I rank up and choose what benefits me or my alliance. Ive only made a few rank ups just because I wanted and those were Taskmaster 5* to R4 and Goldpool to R3 with no intention of using him except questing for fun.
