Not a fan at all of the R3-R4 gems that can only be used on 2017 or earlier champs! Already at max capacity and don't feel like I have good options for these! They really need to start bumping these up to 2020 or earlier gems!
They are constantly reworking old champs to improve the value of these gems and create new uses for them.
ah yes. give us rewards that are useless now so we can hope they'll one day have value. I love my rank up stocks
They’ve reworked something like a dozen champs that you could use these gems on just in the past 8 months, with more confirmed around the corner. If they’re “useless now” it’s because you’re so far along that none of these rewards matter besides t5cc, or you think everything in this game is A-plus top tier or useless.
I’ve 100%ed every variant but v1. The gems are incredibly valuable for filling niches on your roster. I wouldn’t drop 10 t2a on she hulk when I already have 40 maxed 5-stars or 6-star rank 2, but I’ll use that gem and have her as an unstoppable counter if I need one.
This comment. You took the words right out of my mind. Till now, I have ranked up She-hulk, Gwen pool, Falcon, crossbones(pending), Magneto, Hyperion, Yellow jacket, Thor jane foster and Winter soldier. I did not use a single T2A to take them from rank 3 to rank 4. I used the class gems that we got in the earlier variants and the generic ones that we got later to rank them up. I got 3 skill 3 to 4 gems (2016) one and I was pissed. Now, I am glad because skill actually got some of the best reworks. I don't have any of these champs as 6 stars so, its even better that I did not need to use T2A to rank them up. For the difficulty offered by the variants, the rewards are good enough.
Appreciate the new content. However, I am having a hard time understanding the logic/reason behind excluding t2a from the rewards. Would it be possible the game-team could give us a little insight into the reason for this? Can we expect to see an increase in t2a in the EQ's?
I believe these are the same rewards as V6 (which also surprised me when I saw it had no t2a), and despite my opinion being conjecture as we don't know the nodes, it seems as this will be a more challenging Variant compared to V6. With the class restrictions for each chapter, favorable synergies to deal with difficult nodes go out the window. Either way, appreciate the new content unfortunately it seems it will sit for months on my "to-do" list as the rewards aren't worth the time and pots investment 🤷♂️.

I know they aren't completely useless, I just found it funny how you made it sound like we should be happy for these gems cause "they'll increase in value over time" like stocks. Also the complaint isn't that 2017 gems have no use at all, the complaint is that they only have so many uses and to just keep giving more and more of them with no progression to the next year is just going to lead to a bunch of extraneous gems that have made each other useless because they're competing for the same handful of champs. The gems would have just as much use for the niche rank ups and saving on T2A if they had moved it up to 2018. One more year would give a few more options without making it a full on generic, which would be nice.
I really don’t know how people have excessive t5b and no t2a ... i am completely opposite but I do buy t2a with glory every week though.
I only use my glory on Tier2 alphas and can barely keep up. Have done all other content in game except: 1 abyss path 1 path in V6 (becuz I don’t need two more tier5 basics to add to my stash)
In my stash right now Tier5 basics - 5 Tier2 alphas - 2
There’s no incentive for me to finish V6 or start/finish V7.

That's the point. With variant rank-up gems, most progressing players can rank-up both pre-2017 champions and 2018-present champs too, one with the rank-up gem and the other with materials.
My biggest issue is there just seems to be a lot of content now that’s aimed at roughly the same level of progression and with similar rewards. How much content do Cavalier players need? They already have Act 5 Exploration, Act 6.2-6.4 Completion and 7 Variants now. Plus whatever additional paths in Act 6 and Act 7 that they can handle. And maybe the Labyrinth. There seems to be a lot less content aimed at Thronebreakers. Or at least content aimed at people that have been Thronebreakers for more than a couple months.
And btw, how many 2->3 and 3->4 5-star rank-up gems does one person need? At some point releasing more content at the same level becomes redundant and is a bit of a waste. Hopefully Variant 8 will be different.
Only V1 was end game. Variants became easier and easier after that... finally becoming a piece that progressing players can clear without breaking much of a sweat.
Can we please go back to Variants being endgame content that is challenging, with endgame rewards. The lack of endgame content makes this game incredibly stale in my opinion.
With Book 2 easier than Act 6, and no planned release of Summer of Pain. What are players that are looking for a challenge left to do?
Been bored for months and losing interest daily.
you have a lot of interest if you "have been bored for month, losing interest daily", and still playing.
Concept of Variant difficulty started off as something for the end game players do.. now the whole talk is about progressing players
To be fair, endgame used to be after act 5, they stayed the same, we moved past. The back issues probably should get a difficulty past variant, likely not now, but later towards the next big gap of skill. (Like the gap between act 5 and 6)
Variant gems aren’t supposed to MAKE your roster. They’re supposed to deepen it. It’s for that B-plus champ you might not use 4 t2a on otherwise, if you’re earlier in your progression. If you’re TB or close, it’s for the few great champs who get reworked or are very, very late arrivals. Red Magneto is mine...just can’t get him. I’ve used gems so far on AA, Wolverine, She Hulk and Quake. I used an old cosmic gem on Ronan, and bought vision for 1500 units because I had a tech gem.
They meaningfully updated rewards to track the meta after v4 (not just a gem update, but an overhaul). I bet when we see variant 9 in early 2022, there will be more changes.
Also, one gem is a lot of value - 6 basics and alphas, 4 class catalysts and t2a. You can make it any class you want, and it covers more than half the champs in the game.

I believe these are the same rewards as V6 (which also surprised me when I saw it had no t2a), and despite my opinion being conjecture as we don't know the nodes, it seems as this will be a more challenging Variant compared to V6. With the class restrictions for each chapter, favorable synergies to deal with difficult nodes go out the window. Either way, appreciate the new content unfortunately it seems it will sit for months on my "to-do" list as the rewards aren't worth the time and pots investment 🤷♂️.
1 abyss path
1 path in V6 (becuz I don’t need two more tier5 basics to add to my stash)
In my stash right now

Why is the ratio being so distorted in favor of t5b? Can’t we just have a balance?
They meaningfully updated rewards to track the meta after v4 (not just a gem update, but an overhaul). I bet when we see variant 9 in early 2022, there will be more changes.
Also, one gem is a lot of value - 6 basics and alphas, 4 class catalysts and t2a. You can make it any class you want, and it covers more than half the champs in the game.
