119 heroes in a 6 star crystal and you're probably opening 1-2 a month at most

rwhackrwhack Member Posts: 1,085 ★★★
So we now have 119 heroes in a 6 star crystal. Most of them are not good heroes to use anywhere. We open 1 maybe two crystal a month...and this makes sense to someone?

The featured cost 15,000 shards and in general 4 out of 12 are worth getting.

Opening crystals you wait weeks to open to get one of the 85% of the heroes that are not useful is one way to keep a game stale.

I can convince myself that maybe 30 out of those are worth an r3 but due to the RNG of t5c the number drops to maybe 6 out of 120 that if I pulled and wasted a generic awakening gem I could awaken and then r3. Means I'd still be sitting on t5c because I'm not going to rank something because I can. Takes me back to when I almost quit having to rank up black panther and captain marvel as 5 stars to r4 along with classic ultron. Not going back to that. Quitting would make more sense in retrospect.

    I hear you, my last six stars from six basics have been useless: Nightcrawler, Psylocke, Beast, Karnak, Mordo, and Punisher 2099. Some of those are actually decent, but they aren't going to be of any use to me in Act 6. I only get a six star about every 2-3 months, on average (This is not counting the six stars I get from one time sources, i.e. Completing Abyss, Completing Act 6, Exploring 6.2 which is where five out of the six crystals came from). I'm still sitting on a mutant t5cc from Abyss since I do not have a single mutant worth taking to r2, let alone r3 (Beast, Nightcrawler, Psylocke, Cable, and Gambit are my options--yeah right). I just cross my fingers I hope the next six I open isn't trash, but it always seems to be.

    I feel like the big problem with the 6 stars is all the old champs I do get it kabam wants to have some bad champs in there and lots of good ones I guess but take the new 6 star feature for example did we really need magneto white joe fixit and iron man? No we really did not they need to focus on putting good 5 star champs in maybe like Spider man sym or iceman or Gwenpool because the odds are your just gonna pull a groot or a cyclops out of your first 6 star and getting your first 6 star is not a easy task! Imagine if a new player after months of grindings first pull is a cyclops...... That could lead people to quit the game. They need to either give us more 6 star shards so we can get more chances of getting a good champ or stop putting champs like groot and magneto into the 6 star pull

    They should have never put a bunch of the trash champs in the crystal to start with. Less than 20% of the champs are worth having.

    Beast and Gambit are two of the worst in the game. Karnak is utterly useless. Cable is not good. Nightcrawler not good.

    We've said these things over and over and they do little about it. They buff like 4 champs a year. RedHulk is good now. Luke Cage not worthy of a rank up. SheHulk is good now. Spidey Gwen is kinda OK. Hulkbuster in beta is fun but limited. The rest are heroes they made worse for "balance". Another way to balance is to make the terrible heroes actually useful as opposed to nerfing good ones.

    Flow mechanic is another topic I'll not touch other than to say there are 3 champs you can use without gray boosts that are good counters. So much for balance eh?

    Theres a very simple solution, if you dont like the way the game goes and the champs you get, you can do one of two things. 1) make the most of it and try something different with the meme tier champs, you might be surprised, and 2) quit. Dont like it, dont play. No one will miss you when your gone.

    spidergwen is very good. Almost on par with shulk imo

    Adding 6 stars was a huge mistake imo but if they add it they must make balance for it i agree with you also in this circumstance duped any character is like a win lottery and for some heroes dupe is a must

    I haven't seen a single one on attack in AQ or AW....or racking up kills on defense in AW for that matter. Maybe we look at things differently. Where exactly would you use her? SheHulk I really like.

    Hey, really wanna thank you for that WW2 cap pull today guys. He's awesome I bet if I took him to R2 he'd be the only r2 6 star WW2 cap in the entire game.

    Thanks so much for the useless champ! He's like a circle...he has no point in the meta yet he was added.

    1-2 6 star champs a month!?!? I wish lol. That's the equivalent of gaining 350 to 700 shards a day (if my mental maths is correct).

    ...but take the new 6 star feature for example did we really need magneto white joe fixit and iron man?

    Initially, I felt about the same way, but then I realized that some of the older, less-used champs have some hidden utility in the current meta of the game. Not many people know it but Joe Fixit is an Incursions stud. His SP1 lands multiple debuffs on the opponent. Multi-debuffs can lead to substantial increased attack. Increase Bleed debuff damage hacks make his SP1 / SP3 attacks that more potent.

    I used to run a 4* Joe in AQ waaaay back in the day when 4-stars were tops. He was my only option for clearing the poison path at the time. He's not a gamechanger by any means that'll help clear endgame content, but he definitely has a place in today's game (including champ-specific sections in Variant 2). That being said, I'd be really upset if I pulled a 6* Mags Marvel Now. He's the personification of a worthless champ (aka arena fodder).

    1-2 a month wow who ever doing that congrats
  • slayer6slayer6 Member Posts: 377 ★★
    My issue is all these old champs are becoming completely useless and they are usually the ones you get in 6* basic crystals, the amount of people i know with deadpool 6* or iron patriot is insane, and these type champs have been around forever in mcoc but never got buffs. And im a top 400 aq ally member and g1-g2 in alliance war i probably get a 6* opening every 2-3 months so its extremely disappointing when you pull champs who are barely useful in arena. And chances of pulling new guys added is less than 1% or around that so luck needs to be on your side big time. Then most need dupe to be good so wait another year or 13 to dupe them and your set lol

    80% of the champs that are 6 stars don't even fit the current meta and are useless.

    Good does not mean top tier. Good means she has damage and does not totally suck. She is fine for all sorts of basic questing. Shulk has more utility, but spidergwens damage is undoubtedly higher.

    Just completed an initial run through AoL to open two 6* crystals... red cyclops and ebony maw. They go into my 6 roster nicely with my 3 time duped moon knight, 3 time duped Jane Foster, abomination, black panther cw, miles morales, red magneto, ultron, punisher 2099 duped, winter soldier, bishop, Loki, nightcrawler, and hela.


    Also nice to pull that 6 mystic awakening gem and Mystic t5cc so I can rank up Loki and awaken him!! .... >:(

    People said that about collossus and hulkbuster years ago and now they are pumped getting them. My first and only 6 star is Diablo and it took months for him. Hope bad get buffed.

    We might not even use smartphones anymore by the time they release a Diablo rework.

    Totally agree, pulled him 2 weeks ago and is still pissed off since then. Meanwhile ally mate pulls Cap IW as his 1st 6*. His one 6* is better than my three 6* (Rocket, Korg, WW2) COMBINED.
