The arena reward change is out of touch with the player base

I was excited about the reward change when they announced it in July. The only changes they made is add a 5* in milestone and put an extra bracket in 1-5% reward and add 150 featured 5*. We are still have phc and same amount of 6* shard for rank reward. The last major change in arena is Feb 2018. That's more than 2.5 years ago. The game have changed a lot since then and this reward change is almost nothing. 5* is still relevant now but 6* is the trend going forward. This change is just out of touch with what players want.

100% agree, I was disappointed they didn’t update the arena milestones. So for us to get these ‘new’ rewards we have to grind even more than we were already grinding. This was a good chance for Kabam to improve the enjoyment or motivation factors for arena but they’ve just made it worse...

Maybe, or he just thinks everything is perfect. Saw him trying to deny the recent lag issues earlier today

i dont play popularity contests, I just dont like people speaking on the behalf of others. most of the time when they do it they are really just speaking for themselves, and think they are the average player. You can get your point across without claiming to know what the players want and acting like you are speaking for the player base.

Not everything is perfect, but I have not had any lag and I am on a lot, but I also play on an current gen IP pro, with a gigabit connection, so I typically dont see much lag.

Doesn’t matter what device you have or how fast your internet is, if there is server lag (which there is) then there is server lag. I have fast internet and a pretty decent phone (Samsung s10 which should be more than enough to run this game) and I’m experiencing lag as are a large portion of the people on the forums

But the OP made perfectly valid points which are shared by the majority of the player base (see mega thread)...

Kabam should just give the champs based off points scored. If you score 12mill , you get the 5* featured..... if you score 10mill you get the basic... and so on... you still need to grind, but at least you are rewarded with the champ you are going for at the end of the grind.

If they only gave the 5* featured to people who scored 12 million with their eyes closed, I would still get it almost every time.

I really don't understand how people can still think these kinds of "suggestions" can happen without unintended side effects. The only way they are going to make new 5* featured champions easy to get, or predictable to get, is if 6* champs replace 5* champs as the new pursuit goal, and 7* champs replace 6* champs as the top goal. Something is always going to be as hard to get as 5* featured champs, and if it is not 5* featured champs it will be something else even more powerful and even more desirable.

Ask the players who first suggested that 5* shard rewards were "out of touch" then demanded that 5* champs become more available then freaked out when 6* champs arrived and reset their roster progress back to square one. If any of them are still around to ask.
