I whole heartedly believe the world would be a better place if there were more women in leadership roles.
On that note, I think Kabam...a forum moderator needs to eat his words when he said that there won't be a 5* or 6* Scarlett Witch because she would be TOO STRONG.
Kabam, I'm asking you to make Scarlett Witch a purchasable 5* and or 6* character. Make it a cash purchase available the ENTIRE PLAYER BASE like you do for the original Vision. And donate a percentage of the proceeds to one of the many women's charity's out there.

But I was being completely honest with everything I said about the world being a better place if there were women in leadership roles.
I'll even take this a step further.
Try and imagine just how much, great music, art, novels, inventions, ideals we may never know because women weren't given the opportunity and freedom to speak up. And I truly pity all those who can't and or refuse to see that.
If you want to help women out, donate to your local abused women’s shelter, WIC offices, DHS offices. You want to help, when you see a mother struggling to buy groceries because she is a single mother and her child is running around all crazy like, pay for part of her groceries and go about your day, offer to load them in her car so she can give her child attention. You want to help, join a Big Brothers program so a mother can take her kid to see that not all men are bad, or going to leave like their father did. You want to help, donate to any women’s charity, time or money.
That is what’s going to help, not spending money in a game to get a time forgotten God Tier. If you need to get something, aka a highly sought after champ from spending money and veil it in a “good cause” well, we all know it has nothing to do with women and all to do with what you as a male wants. And that’s the exact opposite of IWD.
Donate that $100 to WIC trust me it goes a long way. My husband lost his job around the time our first kid was born. We were struggling and had to use WIC and food-stamps. He knows how much donations help and that’s why to this day, he donates $100 out of each of his checks to WIC and local food banks. If it wasn’t for donations to abused women’s shelters he wouldn’t be alive. I know first hand how much this types of help can give as without them I never would have met my husband nor have 2 kids together. So when people talk about “helping women” but they want to be noticed or get gain for themselves I kind of shake my head and realize those people aren’t the people I want helping my sisters.
My personal opinion, which is what the poll is about, is I fear Kabam is becoming part of those who don't believe in powerful women. I was asking Kabam to prove me wrong. I was suggesting that they allow Scarlett Witch, a women, to be available as a 5* or 6*. If they decide to further support women (and this I did make in the original post) and have her available at a cash price they can take part of those profits and give it to a women's charity.
I don't care about God Tiers or want to be noticed. I do care about helping women and the issues they are still going through. I want to help the world anyway I can and was just offering a suggestion for a popular game to do the same. If they do they do, if not then they don't.
Kabam has no problem making powerful female champions. Many of the highest value champions are female. Domino, CMM, Quake, Ghost, Medusa, all top tier female champions. If you look at the female champions added in 2019, Claire, CMM, Elsa, G2099, IW, I would argue there are no duds anywhere in the bunch. If Kabam has an issue with female champions, it is the relatively low percentage of them being added to the game. That's five out of twenty four.
If I was in charge, I think a good way to celebrate IWD with a useful gesture would be to announce that I would be doubling the new champs released in March 2021 from two to four, and all four would be Marvel female champs voted on by the players. Increasing the female to male ratio in the game isn't just a statistical gesture, both men and women play the game and increasing the female to male ratio in the game towards a more equal value sends the message that while the comic books themselves skew towards male characters the game doesn't have to completely follow that past bias.
Moreover it doesn't wrap the gesture tightly in one single champ, which is important because problems like gender inequity aren't about the one big win, they are about changing the system as a whole to self-assess for long-term improvement. I'm sure Kabam didn't set out to deliberately put less women than men in the game. But clearly they did, and there's no specific benefit to the game to do that. It is just a product of a system that mined source material that itself contains gender skews that then got reflected into the game. Recognizing that and then compensating for it is a microcosm of how these kinds of issues ultimately get addressed for the better on larger scales.
Also to SW, she wouldn't be the most op 6* out there, bcs she is not reliable in offence at all (idk why but in def I always get healblock and poison).
Domino
CMM
Ghost
Quake
Medusa
Rogue
Emma
Wasp
Would all like a word with you.
What you’re really saying is if they don’t release one of the most pre 12.0 God Tier champs as a 5/6* so you can have her in your roster they are against women.........let’s get real here.
If anything I feel like this boss rush not ONLY put women champs at the forefront BUT women in the community! If they didn’t believe in women they would have had male programmers picking the fight and nodes. But no they went above that selected some of the premier female players/content creators and made the event about THEM. If that’s not supporting them IDKwhat is
I'm not skilled enough to even come close to completely the boss rush. In my opinion, if Kabam really wanted to celebrate the female content creator's they would have made multiple difficulties for this specific boss rush.
I was going to say that in general I would trust the judgment of the female content creators themselves that they wouldn't participate in the process if they felt their design contributions were not being "celebrated" by Kabam sincerely. As I think none of the creators for any of the community designed Boss Rush fights would have, male or female.
I agree with Liss_Bliss_. You don’t sound like you really care about IWD, you sound more like you’re using it for your own wants.
As a whole, what does the community believe the top three champions are? Wither it be male or female?
Also, the Boss Rush isn't limited to just the "top ranked" players. It has a similar difficulty to the 2019 community boss rush, and that event was intended for players with reasonably well developed 5/50 4* rosters. That's probably half the players.
I'm not saying half the players could do it. I'm saying it was intended to be a high difficulty event for those players. Difficult means some will fail. But they, and even players lower than that, could participate at least. Participation doesn't mean guaranteed victory.
