Removal of Thorns: a new case for rank down tickets

That previous message was toward you
Wasn't an alliance decision, was purely my decision. Mainly why if Kabam decides no I'll live it.
We're normally tier 5-6-7. I play in a 7m alli, kind of my retirement home. He's gotten me quite a few kills since rank up and that was specifically on thorns node. As said, if no rdt, whatever. But this imo is best case for Kabam to give them out.
2 is perfect. One for offense and one for defense. It really does nothing to hurt their bottomline while it makes us feel much better about these unavoidable changes.
Who are you wanting to rank down and who are you wanting to rank up?
Yes this is true. But I think the biggest issue plaguing the forums is members are seeking answers from the mods but their presence is for the most part undetected. Whether or not they feel the topic has been beaten to death so they move along is only something they can answer. Either way, it does not hurt for a mod to shoot a sentence and close down a post.
Yeah moderator input and communication is weak. The forum would be considerably more active/less negative and more useful if the mods engaged more and didn't shut down every topic they didn't want to talk about. Don't see the point getting a fancy new forum to just mostly ignore.
The one thing that I haven't seen discussed is what the new war buffs are going to be. Everyone is fixated on what's leaving, but do we know what's replacing it? Before we get all butt-hurt on the change, shouldn't we have a better understanding of the change first?
well "not the butt-hurt guy". For instance removing defender kill score being one of the pay win scenario. and to have a better understanding on this my butt did not hurt at all.
I do not have the authority to "shoot down" a Thread. I do have the right to comment whether in support of the idea or not. Truth is that's not what they're for. Nothing about the Champs has been changed. The only instances where they would be brought back are major changes to the Champs themselves (nerfs), as stated by Mods. The situation does not apply. Just because people used them for Thorns and the Node is changing doesn't mean there is anything different about the Champs. Therefore, it does not negate Ranking them or warrant the necessity to change them. People can jump on that and imply I'm trying to play Mod, but that's what generally happens when someone expresses some facts and views that are not in sync with their own. I'm not stopping the discussion. Just pointing out that it's not what they are for. It seems like every change that comes, people want them.
Arch angel has made magik much more manageable? Black widow made duped spidey easier. Do u consider adding champs that can more easily defeat an opponent to be an "indirect nerf"?
Not sure why you have electro on thorns anyway. Opponents should be attacking thorns nodes with champs that bypass electro shock damage. Against an opponent that has any clue what they are doing, that's possibly the worst tile for him
Please, enough is enough. Just stop fishing for RDTs at every single opportunity you can jump at! Deal with your poorly made decision of ranking AM if his only use was just for Thorns node and not make it seem like it's a case for RDTs to be brought back
It is fact when it's based on repeated comments from the Mods regarding RDT's. The subject has been brought up many times, and that's their stance. My view is that it doesn't apply to what they're for.
I don't believe it until I see it happen... kabam saying is one thing... making it available might be 150 t2 alpha for 600 glory coins... so don't keep repeating it like its coming tomorrow or you know when... thanks
Well, you can request it if you like. Whether they will or not, I don't know. I DO know that nothing is being changed about the Champs themselves, so it doesn't fall under what was stated.
I'm not arguing at all. We're talking about changes to Champs. Not the Arena, Wars, AQ, or any other aspect. Nerfs are what most call them. Changes to Champs like we saw in 12.0 and 12.0.1. The actual Champs themselves were altered drastically. It is not realistic to expect RDTs for Champs you used to use in War because the Abilities, Sig, and/or design of the Champs themselves have not changed. To answer more directly, no. It would not apply.
You seem to be the one arguing for the sake of arguing and you accused me of the very thing. Put it this way. People used Ant-Man on Thorns as an example. They take away Thorns. Does Ant-Man still perform the way he used to? Yes. Therefore, no changes have been made to the Champ. Who we Rank and what we use them for is entirely up to us. The RDTs are for changes to Champs. If we Rank a Champ simply for a specific Node and the Node no longer exists, that's our choice. It is not their doing because we chose to Rank said Champ, and we chose that based on what we wanted to use him for. Nothing about that Champ has changed. That's not opinion. It's logic. Logic that is based on months of responses as to what the RDTs are intended for. Feel free to argue semantics, but that's the bottom line. They may change their mind and give them, who knows. However, as it stands, and based on what they themselves have said, that's not what they are for.
Do they need to issue RDT every time anything changes? For example, part of why i ranked hulk to 5/50 is for poison path in AQ. If they get rid of poison path, do they need to give RDT for every poison immune champ in the game as "their utility changed"? It's absurd. I do understand that everyone wants free stuff and bailouts for mistakes though, par for the course.
