**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event

**KNOWN ISSUE**
We have adjusted the node placement of the new AW maps to better allow path traversal. As a result, defender placements have been reset. Please, take a moment to re-place your defender setup. We will be pushing out a message in-game shortly.

Seriously man... lol
Unfortunately we are not buying a champion to own. Everything in our accounts, including champions and all other materials, are not ours. We don’t own them. They are Kabams and they have the right to change them at will. Instead of comparing it to buying a car, we need to think of it as only buying the right to use a specific car at a raceway that is owned and operated by another company. If that company wants to change the car they let you use in anyway before the next time you visit the raceway, it’s up to them.
So instead of spending for a champion that will last, people are spending to only have that champion on their roster to use however that champions is at that given moment. Next time you log in they could be different.
What the announcement did is instantly devalue champions. With the realization that any champion may not stay good, it’s not worth the same to try to obtain a specific champ anymore. You don’t have any clue if what you have now will ever stay the same.
So now that we realize the champions are not ours, we should focus on what we do have control over. What we can do is:
1. Continue to leave comments that will hopefully help Kabam come to the conclusion of doing a more educated rebalance (ie a true “balance” by increasing block proficiency if his damage will be decreased to make him and overall more useable character)
2. Express any our concern over the overall process or communication, or lack of player /game understanding and involvement
3. Be knowledgeable about the true decreased worth and false ownership of champions and materials and spend less, or not at all, as prior to the announcement.
Seriously man... lol
This adjustment (justified or not) creates a possible reluctance to bring champs up beyond r3/r1 for 5/6* respectively (assuming they are not needed for prestige bumps) if we know that they can adjust/rebalance/etc at any point in time...
R3 is that happy medium for clearing content and not feeling entirely ripped off by any kabam decision down the road...
And it's not 6 months - they'll signal the rebalancing within 3 months (Cull, Maw, Ronin).
The actual tweak will take 6 months, but within 3 months you'll already have an indication. So if you have Cull, or Maw or Ronin all you have to do is wait 3 months to see what's gonna happen, if you don't like it, don't take him R5.
Simple as that.
