Whats Stopping me from getting TB?...A cavs perspective

Dear Kabam,
I have been cav for a long time now, but I lack the motivation to go further in act 6 because even after opening a few 6* crystals over a long duration of time maybe a year I do not have single r3 worthy one.
Now with the r3 condition I feel no need to do any story mode quest which can now cause bolleneck and boredom for similar level players.
Obviously you are not going to reduce r3 requirements but the issue here is you are also reducing our chances to get one good 6* by only compensating 5* shards in all specials and events.
I can not see a school of thought here...please explain how these calendars and TB requirements compliment each other.
I will understand if there is good reason behind this, I'll still be happy if it benefits the overall game somehow.

that honestly sucks, hopefully you can use the selector from 7.1 or something
I am in a similar position as you, being close to a full t5cc. But the difference between us is that I'm not complaining since I know I haven't done an abyss run or 100 act 6. Stop complaining about RNG, it's the nature of the game and always will be! Either put in the work if you want TB quick, or you'll have to wait out the scattered 2% and 10% fragments over time.
Putting aside the fact that main story content (act 6) gives a couple of t5c opportunities, granted it’s rng & you’ll need to explore every quest....which also gives a lot of 6* shards, equals more opportunities to get new 6* champs......but putting that all aside, are you really playing story content to get a new title? Is that really the only reason you’re playing? For real? It’s not for fun, challenge, improving skills? It’s really only for a title?
Also I don't have the best champions for abyss, so that's a no go for me currently
You realize all current TB were Cavs before right? You can't skip progression levels. I guess you are referring to the 5k 5* shards you got for the anniversary calendar. So one calendar and you think they are "cutting" all your chances off?
Let's say you got 2.5k 6* shards. Let's say you open a 6* and it's not a champ you like. You'd be on here complaining about the RNG of the crystals. They aren't reducing your chances to get good 6*'s. That's just ridiculous. There are plenty of 6* shards out there to get. Tons in act 6 and there's 10k in book 1 for one pass. Oh wait, that's right, you're throwing a temper tantrum and don't want to do story content because you didn't get something.
So who is reducing who's chances here? Kabam for not giving a small amount of 6* shards? Or yourself who won't go out and get what's out there to increase your chances by opening more? I know the answer but doubt you're going to admit it.
By the time I completed act 6 I have no r3 worthy 6*, after doing abyss I had only one and I was lucky enough getting the right t5cc. Now after act 7.1 I have only 3 6* champions with use in my account.
If you don't complete story mode, how will you account growth?
If TB opens up that much more t5cc access, maybe you make it up in volume though.
Heck, change the number to 90% of a t5cc. There’s nearly a 60% chance that in 3 months you don’t get the class you need.
Yes, I agree that if you complete abyss, race through 6.4. I’m talking about players hitting 6.4 before abyss.
I feel sorry for that guy, that 100 act 6 to end up with r3 ant or pat. Or what about that guy whose nexus is ghost, cmm or some ok champ and they have to choose that ok champ because that's what aligns with their cat. It should be tied to something other than rng as we all know only way to bypass rng is coin. You lose motivation to do act 6 explore with the knowledge that you could end up with that choice.
Modern problems need questionable solutions.
P.s didn't cash in on the tb calander.
6-stars are totally superfluous to progressing through Act 6.
The majority of people who became Thronebreaker, had maybe a few 6-stars when completing Act 6.
I personally probably only had 1, and over the course of completing Act 6, pulled a few more (but still in the single digits). I did NOT use any of them in Act 6, as they were all **** pulls.
Just because 6 stars exist, and that it would be a bit easier with a 6r3, that should not affect your own completion of content.
When Act 6 first came out, and had the 5-star requirements, I didn't have many 5-stars, and none that at rank 5 that would be perfect for completing 6.1. That didn't affect my motivation. I slowly opened 5-stars, had bunch of bad pulls, and some good ones.
It is the same situation here, except your 6-stars are not required at all for this content you are demotivated to do.
