Level Up Objective a Joke

So I can take a 6* R2 to R3 and fully level them up, and still not achieve all milestones for the solo objective Level Up, but if I take a couple 3* champs to R4 I can? How about this objective actually takes into account both the ISO and Gold required to level up a champ? I can spend like a million gold to level up my 6* AA after spending 750k gold to rank him up, and not get to the max milestone?
Listen, I have no time to add up the reward points and run statistical analyses, but anecdotally I can assume that the point system is not at all related to the resources required. Hopefully some math-nut can do this, comparing points awarded for level up of each tier/rank to the rewards and prove that the system is not fair, but in the meantime I’d appreciate someone from the company responding as to why it feels (and again I am confident the stats will confirm) like the point system for this objective is junk and is biased towards new players with lower tier rosters. Thanks. I spend hours a day and hundreds of dollars a year on this game (I have forsaken my XBox) and it feels like a slap in the face that Kabam is so stingy with digital content/rewards that cost them nothing.

I’m just tired of always feeling shafted, for any number of reasons. There has to be a balance between running a business (and maximizing profits) and keeping your ongoing customer base happy. It costs more to bring in a new customer than to keep an existing customer, which is basic business knowledge, so I am baffled that on an almost weekly basis we, as a community, have to complain that it feels like the existing customers are being taken advantage of in lieu of trying to cement newer players. I’m sure there are tens of thousands of players who download the game and play for a couple weeks and then never again play, so why would a company risk alienating established customers for the slim chance of gaining new ones? This is just bad business.

Nah the level up event is fine. I've been months, even years by now waiting to level up some champions. Never had the chance to do so since I only score enough to finish the event, or when I have resources expiring.

Yeah I’m not sure that addresses my concerns relating to resources required versus points earned…I’m not sure how you’d wait years when the level up objective recycles every 5 days

I just get other champs/priorities every time I get to use a specific class of ISO-8, leaving the previous option constantly behind until theres no option left

A solution would be to get points per ISO brick used. But then if someone wants to hit the milestones fast by leveling up a 3*, he won't be able to do that.

Level 1 for champs is pretty comparable. I won’t post all the math, but one brick gets you 8 levels on a 3-star. Two bricks gets you 9 levels on a 4-star. I think it’s 7 bricks for 22 levels on a 5-star. 6-stars are…worse. Levels above level 1 are worse.

I’ve been doing 100,000 points per level up day all year. It’s all 6-stars. My hood has stayed level. I do enough arena to get rank rewards on arena day. That’s it.

I will admit that I’ve had a stash of 4-star shards for a while that I’ve eaten into, but that’s like from 200,000 down to 150,000.

6* rank/level up points should be buffed a little.
OP has a point.
6* take a lot of resources to rank up and level up, and it’s very difficult to hit Level Up event milestones solely with them.
I usually rank up 4*s to hit the milestones and place top10%.
They need a small fraction of gold and ISO that 6* need.
Lower rarities being more efficient (rewards to resources spent ratio) doesn’t really make sense.

@DNA3000 could you do this for us?

Level 1 for champs is pretty comparable.

In regards to the Level up event, that's not really true. I could take a brand new 6* and level them all the way up to the top of Rank 1. I could do the same with a 5*. The 6* obviously takes a lot more resources, yet the 5* leveling up yields me much more points towards the Level Up event.

I'm constantly putting ISO into Rank 1 Level 1 5*'s that I don't need or care about, just to get points for the Level up event.

A little outdated, but here’s a chart produced by someone on the mcoc subreddit comparing level up event efficiency for different rarities/ranks:

In short - yes, level up points for 6 stars are wildly (and indefensibly, imo) harder to get than lower rarities.
