How about a new act 5?

With the addition of so many new champions, nodes and bosses, why not have a new act 5. Fully revamped with loads of bosses with new node combinations and some juicy rewards.
A huge movement for players who are stuck in a place in story content and cannot move further easily.
Lot of units. Crystal shards and maybe a tiny bit of rare rankup materials like 5 percent t5cc.
Like why not have a hyped act 5. Back in the day people used 4 stars to complete act 5. Let 6 stars and 5 stars be restricted?
Comment your opinion below if even u are stuck in a specific story content

The difficulty of Act 5 serves a bunch of purposes. For one, it's the first time you really have to read nodes and learn how to adapt. It pushes you to become better at the game. Secondly, it pushes you to develop your roster. It does so in an incredibly heavy-handed way by restricting how much damage all but one class (per quest in 5.3) can do, but the result is that you start to build out and widen your roster to be able to deal with that chapter.
Without these things happening and these lessons learned, Act 6 would be a nightmare. It already is (it's the only piece of story content I've just simply ignored after my initial completion), but at least it was doable thanks to all of the skills we picked up from Act 5. You take those skills away and...what? How are you meant to pick them back up again? Where will you find them?
Things can be excessively difficult at times and that's worth pointing out, but for the most part an increase in difficulty just makes us better players.
Act 5 is classic content no doubt but so do the other content. And most of the players imo already have done it. Plus there's no point to waste resources on such content when devs can use those resources to create new content. I can feel what you are trying to say but unfortunately this won't help to create any excitement for many players. And gating it as act 6 will create more debate. So leave it as it is. For new players it's still solid and with nee champs it's not that hard
2. Why would you be giving t5cc to players who in some cases aren't even cavalier. Due to how fast you can progress in the first few acts of the game, and thanks to the gifting event, there already low level players with 6* that still haven't properly developed their skills. It forces them to rely on having way stronger champions than the ai opponent and that's not good.
3. Can't restrict which champion rarity to use when the majority of the players doing act 5 are still developing their rosters and won't have every champion they'll need as 4*, much less the skills to get through some of those quest without the slight increase in stats from 5* and 6* (speaking from experience here).
4. Kabam's resources are better spent somewhere else.
Plus even though it's a lot easier to get 5 and 6 star champs now as you progress doesn't mean that I automatically have the roster to breeze right through it, so you're really only doing this more for yourself because as we all know if they were to rework and streamline an entire act (just like they did with act four), they would have to make up the difference in a rewards package.
So really it only benefits endgame players in the short term rather than it does me in the long term and if you're looking for any shortcut you can to help get Paragon, then just say that.
Maybe less time on the forums and more in arena will help you push through.
Why would the devs ever consider redoing an entire act that most have completed let alone would delay them from completing other content when they barely have time to rework older champions. Heck, most people that go through act 5 now have a 6 star in their roster when completing it.
This post should be closed - there is zero point to it other than forum clutter.
