recently i spent quite a lot for my liking and i spent on drdoom early crystals as well and got shat on hard and every 6* i opened this year has been a trash(diablo,foster,redskul,covilwarrior) they r only used for arena so yeh solid reason to not spend a single penny anymore on game for a while.
Even if there was no any bugs, my luck is terrible. I haven't been out of rank up resources for any champ I have for almost 2 years now. The only thing I might consider is champ of my choice as 5* or 6*, but it's not gonna happen
Bought 10 sunspot featured rook crystals yesterday with units and got 3 and 4 stars. Spent $200 more after that on the same crystals. Out of 30, pulled 1 5*.
I will purchase the unit deals as I have already saved enough for that, as long as the are better than last year. But the cash deals will have to be absolutely phenomenal to get me to purchase them this time.
Cyber Monday deals are unit based and I saved units for them, so yes.
They're not all units based. Many of the deals involve buying the units deals and then using said units to buy the others.
Last Cyber Monday there were two separate sets of deals. There were unit offers which were tiered, each one unlocking the next one; 1000, 4000, and 10000 units for each offer. And there were cash deals that basically added a bunch of bonus items into the regular unit packs. You could buy the cash-for-units packages and then use the units to buy the unit-specific offers, but they were not linked in any way.
Going to have to buy the deals to pay for all the overtime to fix the bugs.
In all seriousness though they are working hard to fix the issues and have already stated that they are going to focus on correct compensation for those of us affected. This wasn't a decision Kabam made like the no four stars in Act 6 or the freaking gates, this was a series of bugs that screwed over the people working on the games as much as those of us playing it.
As long as the deals are good and the keep working hard on compensation and fixing the bugs I see no reason not to pick some of them up.
While there have been some bugs, which lets be honest there always are in this game. There is still no reason to not buy what is considered the best offers in the game because you are mad at them. If you don't want to buy them or support them then don't. But stop the whining about it. Are there current issues they are addressing....yes, is it really ruining your life? No. My alliance has dropped in War due to the outage and bugs but I'm waiting for the compensation package they are working on. It should take care of us so there is no reason to raise your pitchforks yet. Also this is a game. A GAME!!!! So if you don't like it or the company you don't have to play it or spend money on it. Brian Grant is proof if you put the time in the game you can have an amazing account and not spend a dime. He is clearing the hardest content item-less currently showing that it can be done. So again.....stop whining about issues that pop up with a mobile game. They are addressing them and working hard to fix them.
I'm mentally prepared to, but it will depend largely on what the offers are. I'm frankly hoping that they're tiered offers based on title again, cause frankly, I'm not interested in new 5* champs anymore unless I can pick a specific champ. Same goes for 5* awakening gems.
So 6* shards, obscene amounts of rank-up material, or 6* awakening gems are all I'd be interested in.

Yes it is getting to the point that investing in 5* champs, other than a select few, is much less appealing

I agree here, but even the 6* are not really appealing. There were a lot of 6* shards in the July 4th offers. Netted me a rocket and a BPCW. If I see value, I would buy. I've saved units since July 4th, so the unit offers would only cost me what I already have save.
I do find the "given the state of the game" titles funny. Nothing that has happened in the last week will prevent people from spending on the game. If 12.0 didn't kill this game, then the bug fest over the last week won't either. Beside, Kabam will make it right with the players. People will always complain that whatever compensation is on the horizon is not enough, but Kabam knows was bad for the game and won't want to lose players over a buggy release.

I agree with your comments regarding the state of the game as well. They're funny, cause while certainly impactful, they weren't that detrimental. Frankly, if you're in a laid back alliance like me, it wasn't that impactful at all.
Personally, I think Kabam handled this instance far better than they have previously by giving frequent updates to the status of those issues. It's also the first time I can remember in quite a while that the game had been down unexpectedly for that length of time. All that said, if anything, I could see a rational argument for the game being in a better state than it has been in the past.
Consider that your purchases validate and encourage what they're doing. Think back to the recent months of what they've done that would merit YOUR money. Don't be blinded by recency bias with the fantastic 4 events for which they had to adjust the awards because we know why. The silent and loud nerfs for which they never had issues with until people learned to use champs like she hulk correctly. I wouldn't say that spending money invalidates your voice of criticisms but it certainly won't force them to change their way of thinking and communicating to us.

The rng is stacked against the player.
One look at my list of champs showing every 2 star duped multiple times tells me to keep my wallet closed.
