Ascension....Myth or Reality

Its been eerily quiet on the Ascension front. Are Kabam sending this the way of bases, or are we actually going to see/hear some more information on this before the 7* release.
Depending on how effective Ascension is, people might choose to hold off on the 7*, so having good information early on helps people make good decisions.

I'd also like to know more about ascension, but I don't think kabam will be giving us that information until 7*s are here.

Ascension is still part of the progression roadmap.

We haven't said anything more on the topic, the same way we haven't had anything to say on the topic of 7*s.
That information will become available with time.

They should have added Ascension instead of relics. People actually care about Ascension, while nobody asked or cared for relics or emotes. Can't wait to see what the Kabam team comes up with! Hopefully its better than the trash that are relics

There will be no such thing as Ascension. The whole point of its announcement was to soften the blow from the simultaneous announcement of Relics and 7*. It was just a marketing trick. The whole idea of Ascension goes against one of the pillars of this game's progression process: acquire new champs of higher rarities, to progress. Not keep investing resources on a roster that will soon become outdated (for the time being, these being the 5*). How on earth will Kabam keep their revenue, if people all of the sudden stopped going for new champs...? No logic.

What we will get is a new (improved power gain...? ) mechanic on 7*, plus most probably increased ISO & gold when duping them, to give us the incentive to go after them and open 7* crystals, even with the limited pool on their release. On a separate thread on Gold and ISO, we have been promised that these issues will be addressed on the release of 7* (or something vague, as always, around those lines), which confirms the above.

I will be VERY happy to be proven wrong, come Spring.

Thank you for responding Jax.

Do you see my point about earlier information being required though, as arming Summoners with information in good time will inform them as to whether they focus precious rank up resources into 5 and 6 stars (If Ascension is delivered well) or holding onto precious resources to focus on 7 stars if Ascension is delivered poorly.
