Should rank downs be handed out in light of 15.0 and the new aw announcement?

I know this has been touched on many times even just since the announcement of 15.0 and the aw changes but I truly believe this needs to have as much discussion and light spread on it as possible. So let's keep the trolling, rants, and childish nonsense at the kids table where it belongs. Now I myself and many like me ranked up champions for specific nodes in this aw setup. I took a unduped Nightcrawler to r5 for the left miniboss node. I don't like using him, nor is he any help to my personal prestige. I did it to be a team player and help my alliance. Many others have made the same sacrifices. I'm not saying we should be handed a bunch of rankdowns. Maybe only one even. But I believe if Kabam is going to change a large aspect of the game some sort of compensation should be given to reset for the new setup. I myself am a paying player. Maybe not like the big spenders of this game but I still pay a good chunk of what I can to play this game and resources don't come easy so taking a champ to r5 is no small accomplishment. Also added into the equation should be the announcement of 6* champions. So as stated above let's keep this professional ladies and gentlemen, and get some much needed attention brought to this aspect of our game! Thank you for your time!

RDT can't be offered in this scenario since it doesn't nerf or change a specific champ or class.
The team will not randomly choose some champ and give random RDT to that champ, since next time they are offered they will be specific

Is this going to be a daily topic of discussion? The more people post regarding the same issue, the more the mods tend to ignore it. You are hurting your own cause.

Going to be? people have been trying to find ways to get more tickets since they dropped this is just the latest attempt

Hell bloody yes. Main reason I ranked a few champs were for thorns.

EvilEmpire

YES indirect nerfing is still nerfing

Kronos987654321

The debate for thorns has some truth behind it but still not worth rdts. Even if they were they have said SO many times that they won't release them

Scorpiodsu

I don't think rank downs should be given out because of the upcoming changes. However, I think they should be apart of the game and awarded when completing some of the harder EQ and SQ events.

Why is this idiot jailed?

Do you have a counter argument? Not sure what you're hoping for with that comment. I'm not the one not giving you RDTs so take your anger out on someone else

Only champion specific rdts no class or generic, antman, colossus, luke cage, hb and defensive ability accuracy champs whose sole purpose is to reduce defensive ability accuracy. Rdts shouldn't allot you to completely change your roster just give you the option to take champs that were directly or indirectly changed down

MEŦAPħҰS

these RDT threads are annoying

phillgreen

Upgrading any champ because your alliance tells you to or to face a specific node in a specific game mode is a choice you made.

Own it.

I want rank up tickets since rank down will not be given out.

King_Cobra735

How about rank down tickets for pure skill still broken while we r at it

Badrose

By introducing the 6s, they are going to nerf the WHOLE 4s CLASS in the game, so hell yes! Maybe you still have to realize how the game will change and how useless a 4s will be against new 6s. Because hey, in case you didn't think about it yet, they are not introducing 6s only as playable character but you will also have to face them! And it will be like playing with a 3s against a 5s! And so, what about every T4CC catalyst spent for out 4s R5?

WAKE UP!

Clever! People just want their t2as back so they can r5 their 5*s when t5bs are released. I remember when I was advocating for it when they had broke champs for months. Didn't get your support then, so you won't get mine now. Lol. Good luck with this though!

Anji

It is much needed to re align players .

danielmath

HELL NO, shouldn't do anything that cheats players

GroundedWisdom

As they've already said, they've explained their position on RDTs. I have to agree that it doesn't warrant RDTs because no Champs are being altered.

EvilEmpire

Honestly I wish kabam would just have rdt in cash offers it would be the best compromise for both party's, they understandably want to adjust values to keep the game fresh and players are understandably frustrated when one of their main champs takes the hit. The guys who ranked ant man for thorns probably need to get checked for brain damage tho. Whether thorns got nerfed or not you invested your t2a foolishly and its hard to have sympathy for that. Having said that if deep wounds was suddenly nerfed then my 5*r4 BP would be indirectly nerfed and I guess I would have to hear the same **** from the kabam fluffers that BP wasn't touched and I have no case either even tho I invested heavily in both the champ and mastery and would be left with 50 cents on the dollar of my investment. I have said many times in different threads that it would be easy to manipulate the values of champs without changing their function but simply how the surroundings function. This is a nerf it's just the type that allows the argument that it's not.

Yep and what about every 3 star we ranked up before 4 stars came out?
You're argument is voided please try again.

Come on son! Get outta here with that jibber jabber!

Oh, here comes the smart guy. Tell me how many T4 catalysts have you ever used for ranking a 3s and then try again using some brain this time. Again, wake up.

I disagree with you there, people ranked ant man up for no other reason than thorns, if thorns gets taken away, what use will that 4/55 Ant-Man have now

I've been playing this game from the beginning please tell me, at what point were there no 4*s....

On another note most of the people in this thread have voiced there opinions in very respectable manners. Others not so much. Stop being tools and either contribute wisely or keep it to yourself. Someone said I was only hurting my cause. Okay maybe. But what hurts my and others causes is people being rude on threads like this and destroying any credibility for EITHER side. So like I asked in my op please let's keep it professional guys! Thanks again for weighing in! No matter what side of the fence you are on!

Why does stupidity need to get rewarded though? Those players got higher prestige from the rankup which got them better AQ rewards then players who tried to manage their resources.

Who people Rank is entirely up to them. Ant-Man still performs the same whether the Node is in War or not. Nothing is being changed about the Champ, and RDTs are only intended for changes to the Champs themselves, not content. The issue has already been answered here:

1. Rank up Ant man is your choice. And I don't even know why would you r5 4* or r4 5* a champ that get 2 kills if you are lucky and half the opponent health on any other day.
2. If your alliance force you to r4 your 5* ant man, you gonna have more problems in there than my ant man is useless, since the leader and officer will now force you to rank up even crappier champs for diversity.
3. if you rank up Black Widow or Falcon and now want to rank down them to rank up your newly obtained Gwenpool then it's cheating.

I just said yes because yes.

How exactly is that cheating? Players choice is it not

Do I want then to? Yes.
Will Kabam hand them out? 99.5% chance of no.
