If featured/basic champs were available for an arena milestone, would that break the game?

Squirrelguy

As opposed to how it has been, where a certain top percentage can obtain (for example, a 5 or 6* version of) the specific champ that the arena is built for, would a set number of points in arena guaranteeing you the champion be bad for the game? If you think it would be good, what point milestone do you think each champ would go for?

I could see problems with this, but honestly, I’ve never once been tempted to try to get a high enough ranked score to compete for even the top 10% of the top arenas because it’s such a gamble and I don’t want to waste time and valuable resources on a F2P account to miss out on rewards to all of the accounts that whale out or run bots (or just have committed, very legit summoners) or something. I think that having a 5* champ in the way final milestone would be amazing, and then maybe keeping the 6* as a ranked reward might be a good way to do it, so that whales who want to whale can whale, grinders who want to grind can grind, but people who want to not spend every waking hour on a total gamble can at least take home a worthy prize.

I don’t hate how arenas are, but this would make them much more of a draw for me if it were to happen. Let me know your thoughts!

Not game breaking but a bad idea

Kabam would have to change the milestones everytime a new champion came in no?

People would have zero incentive to ever buy crystals. This is never ever gonna happen

No..... just no

Nope.

Maybe offer a 5*, but make it 50 million points

Basic 5* perhaps, but as our resident whale has just said, it does reduce the incentive for crystals which is a huge source of revenue.

I would say yes to basic 5* because they're not meta-defining anymore for the most part with a few exceptions and if they're 6 months behind the time curve then there's still a good chance that people have whaled out trying to get the 6* version. Ultimately a lot of the top tier of players aren't interested in 5* anymore so it wouldn't be that bad if you could pick up a 5* basic champion for 30m or so.

they do that anyway with the 3* in the old arenas and will do that with the new ones and the 3* and 4*

Mr_Platypus

It would probably break the game in the sense that the revenue from crystal sales would drop drastically...
And if a game isn’t making money then devs will be more likely to be moved to other teams working on other games.

Where’s the yes option?

My heart says yes but my brain says no

No..... just no

No. That's a terrible idea.
