Show Up Difficulty Feedback [Title Edited for Clarity]

Is this a bug? Plus the annoying nodes AND 1.4 million health AND we can only bring 4 star champions?! What is going on? For only 3k 5* shards?/

By the way, King Groot can apply a permanent armor break during fury phase.....

Easy skip. So dumb. What a waste of time. Way to get everyone excited for no reason

Well I was gonna try the show up event but nah, annoucement implied an easier challenge than showdown. I’m sure I could get it down eventually but for 3k 5* shards? Nah.

It's a Tournament. It's supposed to be this way. Not a fun, little challenge. Everyone competing is in the Tournament. So, yes. It's meant to be this hard.

Unfortunately you didn't read the announcement post of this event well enough. It clearly stated that show up difficulty would NOT be a part of the tournament, but showdown difficulty would be. Please read the announcements before making posts like this because you're just going to confuse others. Show up difficulty is NOT affiliated with the tournament.

My only issue is this limits the champs you can use

This is the SHOWUP DIFFICULTY not the showdown DIFFICULTY. There's no tournament part in the show up part.

If you don't have the roster or skills to do it, then it's not for you
I’m guessing that about 2% of the players have the “skills” you refer to to even have a a chance at this.

I’d love to see a video of you beating this, because they way you talk, you beat it.

Is not supposed to be easy. The difficult presented is somewhat what I was thinking it would be.
People just had higher expectives or hopes about it.

Not saying is easy, because it sure is hard. Is the intention behind it. I was able to almost one-shot him, and I'm confident that I will succed in doing it at some point

Huh? Use your common sense big guy. You don't have to defend Kabam about literally everything. This is not about having the skills or roster, it's about common sense. What kind of common sense goes into making a 1.4 million health Silver Surfer with insanely niche nodes (need a consistent armor breaker or coldsnap immune) AND you can only use 4 star champions. 4 STAR CHAMPIONS. The last time I've upgraded a 4 star champion was a long, long time ago. And all of this for 3k 5 star shards?! Pathetic.
It's optional. You don't have to do it. They made a challenging quest to make us think outside the box. It's free to try and you can attempt it as much as you want. I tried it and after a couple attempts, for sure not going to waste my time on it. They said all along that this was supposed to be a very hard challenge.

Then make the rewards worth the effort. It should not be this hard for the SHOW UP difficulty. No one is going to show up unless they already spend thousands on the game.

Test of skill ? You have to be joking. You need the perfect counter. No matter what you do the health pool is going to take you so long with the lower damage that 4 stars do makes this frustrating to say the least. The challenge is supposed to be something that can be won eventually without spending units or resources. This is not a challenge it’s a slap in the face for each and every person that plays this game. I understand there will be people that will complete this content but the limits to which you put on this are beyond reasonable for anyone. I won’t even begin to mention the rewards for such a monumental task for such minimal return. As a member of this community and this game I love to play so much. It’s saddening to see how you have missed the mark yet again Kabam. Summer of pain is the correct title. Time for me to take a sedative and sit the summer of pain out.

Gonna be a quake fest for those that can quake and shake.

Hey all,

This is correct. This is a participation event for that want to be a part of the Summoner Showdown, but don't feel comfortable competing in the Showdown qualifiers. It's a taste of what our Competitors are facing and is not meant to be easy.

It is still meant to be a challenge and a test of skill.

Test of Skill? A true and fair Test of Skill is something that shouldn't require players to bring in only Coldsnap immune champs to even survive the first few exchanges of the fight.

It is dissappointing to read this as me along with several other free to play players or less talented players were hyped to play the showup difficulty and earn the rewards. Gold becomes a scarce rescource for a free to play player and that 500k gold would have made a world of difference for me and many other players. Considering we had to wait an hour for this event to release, we were still looking forward to this event but we were greeted by a horrifying health pull and a few ridiculous nodes. Many of us would appreciate it if you could reduce the health to something like 190k hp.

TrueMaster

This is nuts, I literally spent an hour staring at a white box waiting for the showdown, I then used up most of my gold to rank up my 4*'s , went in feeling pretty good. Came out getting destroyed by Silver Surfer in a minute. And if this is the easy difficulty then...
Thought this would be a more inclusive event.

My man, the SHOW UP difficulty.

Ok let’s say you have mad skills and beat SS for a grand total of...3k 5* shards. Why be so stingy Kabam?

The more i play these recent event the more I'm skeptical about the direction of the game in regard to the road map, hows this even fun or interactive, i really hope the next game Kabam release is not like this because i wouldn't even download it, Im watching seatin one of the top MCOC youtubers struggle with this so imagine regular everyday players which is 85 % of the player base, this is how u put the FU in fun.

Scopeotoe987

A test of skill would be being able to bring whatever champ you want against him. You can’t. It’s not a test of skill. It’s a test of your roster and how much revives you have.

Isn’t that why they have the tournament then? Who isn’t going to be doing the tournament who would do the show up instead?

Who is this made for? There’s a giant difference between getting “a taste for how hard it would be” versus it being almost the exact same difficulty, for extremely laughable rewards.

The people who have the skill and ranked up a 4 star who could handle this WOULD ALREADY BE DOING THE TOURNAMENT. The show up should have been for those who couldn’t do that.

Whoever thought of this and designed it is very confused on who the player base is or who it was targeting. And clearly didn’t read the roadmap a month ago. I’m honestly kind of baffled at this and the responses from the moderators are only making it worse.

What a missed opportunity.

The part where it's available to everyone is just for fun. The real point to this whole thing is the actual tournament for the big prizes.

corrected it for you

GroundedWisdom

Okay, so I was mistaken. If I am to understand correctly, this is still on the same level. For fun means it's not being marked for the Tournament. Not that it would be easy.

I'm an endgame player. Everything is 100% and imo, this is not even worth it for anyone. 1.4 million health, with a coldsnap node and you restrict it only to 4 star champions? Also, what are the rewards? 3k 5* shards? Yeah, if it were like 7k. It would be worth it. Other then that, this was an utter waste of time. Just my opinion.

The_enlightened

Goes to show you guys still have no idea how to create fun content that is both challenging and dependent on skill.
You guys think stacking nodes on top of nodes is a fun time. It’s fun designing but not playing against

I have the skill to do it, I did it with venom and CAPIW, but it was not enjoyable. It was repetitive and boring

Seems like grandmaster fight was just an outlier in your game design

I was hyped and waited an hour after the promised time to get disappointed

Remember the rewards / prizes for winning or getting in the top 4 of the summoner showdown are crazy!!

This is the big boi challenge, it's meant to find the best of the best. The average and even the highly skilled are expected to struggle.

Isn't that the true test of skill really? He's already said if you can armor break him, you don't have to worry about Coldsnap. Read the nodes and think outside the box.
