**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

Unless I am missing something else.
To me, this is a bit concerning not because lower level players are getting higher level rewards, but because of what it indicates is coming next.
From where I’m standing, it feels as though Kabam may be trying to shuffle more people from Cavalier to Thronebreaker because they want to shift the game’s economy more toward r4 6* materials and, potentially, create a new title beyond Thronebreaker in the not too distant future.
I, and players like me, are worried about this because we put a great deal of time and energy, and in some cases money, into growing our r3 rosters expecting them to be challenged at some point. To make it worth the effort to grow our rosters. Original Recipe Act 6 and Abyss did actually challenge 5* r5 and 6* r2 rosters, but there has been no such challenge to r3 6* champions.
Now with the influx of new Thronebreakers and r3 champions, Kabam will certainly start to push the r4 materials even harder. And many of us are left to ask what the point of making that rank up even is at this point. Prestige and Alliance War defense, is that it? That’s deeply underwhelming. Without content to aspire to, it just doesn’t seem worth it.
So that’s the concern. The game rushing along to the next thing when the current thing hasn’t even really had a chance to stretch its legs. If it weren’t for the introduction of the r4 stuff here, I don’t think we’d be having this problem. It’s not that we want you to struggle, it’s just that we want our work to have meant *something* in the context of the game before it’s made obsolete.
This is an opinion thread and people are on both sides of the debate. In OPs original post, the disagrees are far more than agrees, so there's that. But it doesn't really matter either way. 100 or so people responding in the forum is not even a drop in the bucket for the overall player base.
Anyways, I made this post to talk about how the rewards are unjustifiably good, and the bosses should’ve been nearly impossible for the amount of stuff they’re giving
End gamers are “end gamers” because they have done everything and are probably more experienced than the “entitled Cavs” complaining.
They have earned their entitlement. Can the Cavs say the same thing?
I am only 3% t5cc away from gaining my first r3 champ and unlocking thronebreaker. Getting that 3% is an inevitability without having to go to the abyss. In all likelyhood I'll aquire it somewhere (act 7 or variant) before even receiving SoP rewards.
What I don't understand is why someone who is already TB would complain about the rewards. TB players get to complete additional objectives and can earn greater rewards than Cav players anyway. If anything, I'm the one who is frustrated because by the time TB unlocks for me I'll have missed my chance at all the side objectives.
I'm a TB end gamer and don't feel the rewards are unjustifiable, either. I'm glad to have the rewards and that T5cc is becoming more available. Not all end gamers or all TB are entitled. Just the ones who continually expect the game to be catered to them instead of the majority of the player base. It's generally the same players who want hard content that only they can do, and the rewards that would be limited to them, furthering their gap with the rest of the player base and wanting more content afterwards that would just continue that trend.
Is this game or this event perfect? By no means. Bit Kabam has to find a balance to keep the majority happy and spend resources to make content an economical venture. Why would they piss off 95% of players by making time-limited content that they can't complete, just to appease the top 5%?
If it was my business, I know I wouldn't, unless there was some hefty profit margin there to support it.
If this event had not happened with its current rewards than it would have created a situation in coming months in which next top tier would have been added to the game which contained rank4 champs(by tier I dont mean progression title but rather next level of champs like 6* rank3 are now tier1 and 6* rank 2 or 5* rank5 are tier2). In this situation very few players would have been in tier2 with rank3 champs and even less players in tier 1 with rank4 champs. And mcoc does not work like this by having very few players in 2 top tiers.
Also in case this event had not happened than many players whose highest ranked champs is either 6* rank2 or 5* rank5 would have found themself in a situation where the difference between them and top tier players with rank4 champs has increased significantly and without clearing enough content they cannot even reach close to them. This would have resulted in demoralization of many players to play the game and they might have quitted the game which would mean kabam loosing their customers and eventual downfall of this game.
Though OP's concerns comes from goodwill but believe me that Kabam knows what is best for the game.
The only thing which I think should not have happened is that this event is more directed towards cavaliers rather than thronebreakers as they will gain much more based on progression and it goes against what SOP was initially advertised by kabam. If kabam wanted to escallate cavaliers to thronebreakers than they should have used some other event to do so.
(The TB Side Objectives for SoP for example, we assumed they'd be like Challenges to do in the fight but it ended up being "used this Subset of Champions, 2 or 3 of which were the Perfect Counters for that week's Boss..." which many Cavs could easily do, but understandably they needed a way to separate the TB Level of Insane Rewards)
Now I agree SoP has been fairly simple so far, and comparatively the Rewards are Insanely Top Tier, but this is hopefully the start of them allowing more Cavs to become TB with less unnecessary wait. Cause before this there were very few and scattered ways to get T5CCF, mainly being based on Luck till you get to one of the like 4 places you get a Fragment Selector or Full Catalyst Crystal.
I’m complaining about the fact that aside from Carina’s challenges (great content btw) , and perhaps the gauntlet and Mulvaney challenge to a lesser degree, there hasn’t been any hard and engaging content since prenerf 6.4. But not to worry, said Kabam, because we’re going to make this thing called the Summer of Pain, and it will be the most brutally difficult and challenging content ever made, that will shred even the most developed of rosters.
The rewards are perfectly fine to me. I just want engaging content and to feel like I earned the rewards, which I (and I’m sure many of the others here) don’t believe I did.

OPs thread title is literally complaining about the rewards though. Too good, for being too "easy".
But he also wants to nerf Quake and other things like that, so, it's really just another thread to get people riled up between those who agree and disagree and it has worked well.
If someone is at top 10 position on leaderboard than he would only want maybe top 30 players to get thronebreaker. You might be having like 7-8 rank3 s on the day thronebreaker title dropped so u want requirement to be 3 rank3s. If someone had no rank3 than he would have wanted that there is no requirement for any rank3 for getting the thronebreaker title. Why do u think your demand is more important than others?
Endgamers can be happy with rare title and Cool pfp as well.
Challenging content doesn't mean that you are entitled to give great rewards as well to widen the gap in case of end gamers who want to challenge themselves!
