Rather than outright nerf

Add an easier difficulty, same rewards but give titles. Those that completed it already have an opportunity for 3k more shards.
Completing nerfed difficulty get the title “showed up”
Completing unnerfed difficulty get the title “showed off.”

not spam, just hit post discussion and it made three of them, probably due to bad internet

Meh. Im more of an airsoft guy myself

Honestly, I love this, but creating a new difficulty and getting it through the entire process to go live would take a lot more time, and might just be downright not doable.

SpideyFunko

Maybe give the showed off title to those who completed it pre nerf and showed up to those who completed it after?

You still have the showdown difficulty. All the nerf did was lower health. And get rid of restrictions, but it’s still a challenging fight for a roster like mine

Kabam Miike

This is not a reaction to one voice, but to many. We have lots of difficult content on the way, but this didn't need to be it, seeing as we want a celebration of Summoner Showdown.

Don't worry, we've still got the Omega Boss Rush (31 very difficult fights, back to back). And don't forget Summer of Pain (which will probably not actually be in the Summer, since there's already so much going on) which is designed to REALLY challenge Summoners that have 100% Completed Abyss, Act 6, and everything else. Challenging Content is coming.

Please, regardless of who complains about being hard, don't change it.

No offense, but you have only been playing the game for a year. This wasn't really intended for newer players. I guess with these changes anyone can do it now.

I wish they could leave both versions up. I was enjoying practicing against the difficult fight since it didn't cost energy. I was looking forward to hopefully getting a one-shot before it ended. This lower health pool just makes it seem like another labyrinth fight now.

To be honest Miike you could of just removed the 4* restriction and left the fight as is and not reduced the health. Being able to use a team of 5* r3 and above as well as 6* for 1 fight and get 3k Shards and 500k gold is pretty good reward.

I did the fight with 0 items using a r4 4* Colossus and it took just under 300 hits. I enjoyed the challenge of it to be honest. I also wasn't going to rank someone up just to do it so lucky i had colossus

I wanted to try other characters such as Taskmaster, Netflix DD etc with synergies and try to solo the fight, but it won't be as satisfying when he has 1/4 health.

I just hope is not something like Abyss, where fights can't even be one-shotted and require very specific champions.
If it's challenging, its okay. If I'm forced to use revives because I've reached the hit cap, it's not.

you can one shot fights in abyss

Eb0ny-O-M4w

Yes, but not every fight in a realistic way.
The problem with the Abyss is that the 'hit cap" is there to show you how much you can do till it's "game over". It's designed to end the fight there, even if you somehow manage to get over that.
If there is "game over" mechanic similar to that during the summer of pain event, then it's a poor design. If it is just a larger health pool with some node combinations, then it's challenging

only certain fights. The hit cap is BS

SpideyFunko

that’s fair. These days however, newer players with the right champions and some skill. This tune down fits the description of “fight the bosses for fun” which is what this is supposed to be. It is fun, while still posing a challenge for mid to low game players.

Endgame players can do the showdown for the challenge, while the rest of us do show up. That’s the point I’m trying to make here.

DNA3000

If you're certain the mechanics are designed to "end the fight there" then why doesn't it just kill the player? That's how I would end the fight there, if I was told to design it to end the fight there.

DNA3000

There are a ton of players that are not going to have fun fighting a 444k health Silver Surfer. Most because it is still too high, some because it will now be trivial. Why are they wrong and you right when you say this is what fun is?

Neotwism

I guess in a way you are right. I will do it for the free shards. BUT I won't find it challenging or a test. It's one labyrinth fight now with rewards somehow better than completing the monthly EQ. That doesn't seem right to me. If kabam is going to cave every time ppl complain because the content is too difficult we won't ever get anything more difficult than we have now. Labyrinth came out 4 years ago. It requires dozens of fights. 4 years later we get better rewards for 1 fight of the same difficulty. How does that help the game progress when newer champs are so much more powerful than the older ones labyrinth difficulty was designed around?

KDoggg2017

I'm confused by all the players who 1Shot the fight being upset that the Showup nerf will no longer be a challenge for them.
Isn't that what Showdown is for? (I'm genuinely asking).

Dipon713

Totally agree with you mate.

Everyone can't enter the Showdown. That's why they had the Showup so everyone had a chance to participate. You should feel lucky if your from a country that is able to join the Showdown because a large number of ppl aren't able to join thru no fault of their own.

how? i'm from a country that was excluded from the showdown and i can't even see the showdown difficulty, it only gives me the show up one... and that's strange, because yesterday i could see it (but not enter it anyway).
