Will your prestige be calculated based on your top 5 PI champs rather than top 5 in prestige?
This is something I’ve been wondering for a while. The game says your prestige is “the average base hero rating of your top 5 champs”, but if their marker for ‘top 5’ is PI, then it’s very possible to have lower prestige champs bump higher ones out of your top 5 due to their high PI. For example, my 6* R2 sig 25 Stealth Spidey trumps my 5/65 sig 200 Omega in PI by over 1000, but his prestige is only ~9450, where Omega’s is 10160.
Yesterday, an alliance member said their prestige *dropped* from 9.5k to 9.3k after taking their 6* Doom to R2 (unawakened). I’m concerned that more of our prestige ratings will be lowered by ranking up high PI (but low prestige) champs, which feels a bit counterproductive. I don’t want to be, in a way, punished for ranking up my champs. Maybe my alli mate made an error and saw something that didn’t happen, but it’s confirming I worry I have, and I’ve never seen any official statements on the matter.
So, does anyone know how Kabam calculates your prestige? Is it purely based in your top 5 in PI? If yes..why, when it’s likely some players have champs with higher prestige sitting below their top 5? Would appreciate any replies on the subject, because I’ve got no clue.
Thanks!
