**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event

**KNOWN ISSUE**
We have adjusted the node placement of the new AW maps to better allow path traversal. As a result, defender placements have been reset. Please, take a moment to re-place your defender setup. We will be pushing out a message in-game shortly.

Thoughts on new champions being good at both attack and defense?

Just saw a comment about this, and noticed it is quite true, most of the new champs that went out between 2021 and 2022, are both good at attack and at defense.
So here's the question:

Releasing both is making first of all, all the buffs to old champions getting behind, because they were always buffed in only one aspect, so doesnt matter if X or Y got buffed, and even more, the champs that we already had that were either a very good defenders or a very good attackers will lose importance.
I know everybody loves to get both from a new champ, but I think this is bad for the game overall, you wont have to decide to rank up either your attackers or your defenders, when you can rank up the newest champ that is both, so you will play with the same 30 champs that everybody plays, so the rest of more than 200 champs will be like "yeah, you can use it in some scenarios".
And I think Kabam will have to buff every champ in game so they become both good attackers and defenders like all the new champions that went out.
I personally think this is not the best way, not every champion should be God tier, and not every champion should be good at attack and defense, that unbalances everything
Defensively focused champions will struggle to keep up, absolutely. But that's a good thing. Those rank ups were never fun, and if they become less common, those champions will be more likely to receive buffs in the future.
But the downside is that it also makes the champ look more appealing for BGs which makes us want to chase them.....which I know is the whole point in order to have max possible crystal openings & arena scores, but IMO that's just a slightly unhealthy aspect of it
So I still think its not good for the game.
Honestly, part of this is new
shinyscary defender syndrome. Once upon a time, Iron Man Infinity War was considered so dangerous of a defender many (many, many, many, many) players claimed he was game breaking, and the vast majority of players would never be able to handle him, ever. I'm not sure he would show up on a list of top 20 defenders today. I don't think Nimrod is an especially dangerous defender. He's not a bad defender, sure, but once you learn how to dodge his specials and not walk face-first into his unstoppable he's not the worst. He's just still new, and he punishes mistakes. I would rather fight him than Venom to be honest.But overall, I think having some champs that are defensive experts, some that are focused attackers, and some that are more balanced between the two, is perfectly fine. If you're a battlegrounds player, then you want a lot of balance. If you're not, you only need so many defenders but potentially lots of situational attackers for content. Everyone needs different stuff, and everyone can make use of different stuff. Scorpion is a strong attacker and a pretty good defender. However, I personally don't use him much if at all. I have him, but at the moment I don't need him. I have a greater need for champs like Archangel, Shang Chi, and Torch, all focused attackers and weak defenders, so I use them far more often.
What are they going to do? Buff again all the champions because the ones are eclipsing the rest of those? Thats my whole point, its nice to get the new champ and think "Wow, this is a game changer, he is going to be useful" but its not that good when the rest of the champs get behind because of that, and when I say behind is way behind.
Not only that, the new content is adapting to the new champs aswell, so it gets way more harder if you dont have them, and the ones that you had till now that could clear a lot of content are just useless in this new content.
The best example is EoP Acceptance, if you dont have Herc, you are pretty much screwed unless you have a veeeery big stash of heals and revives, or maybe if you have a very big amount of units so you can use your 6* Unit-Man.
As I said before, I just think it is not the best for the game overall.
