This week of AQ didn't have any cost to enter. Kabam wanted to give people a chance to try out a new map without the cost associated with it. For some reason, after day 1, the defenders changed to 7* defenders with dramatically increased stats. This has honestly been the most costly AQ I've had in a very long time.
I am not the best out there and do use health pots and revives here and there but nothing like the past 4 days. I itemed out one of the days and used all 15 available items on day 4 but finished my paths.
Here is Ronin on day 1 of what Map 8 was-
This is Ronin on day 5 currently-
These are King Groot mini and Toad Bosses-
The fights have been ridiculous. The A.I isn't normal. I haven't been able to capture the A.I issues yet but intercepting is way off due to the speed of the defenders dash in and they turtle all the time.
On top of the A.I behavior, the increase in Health and Attack makes the fights worse. Fights are longer and blocked hits are worse. I truly feel bad for those who actually used this free week to try Map 8. Definitely wasn't the week to do it and it wasn't the week to make the switch to 7* defenders. I am aware that the health and attack values weren't meant to be but why make the switch on a free week?
I hope there is some sort of compensation. More skilled players than me have used way more items this week. I can imagine top 20 AQ was even worse given the increase from the higher prestige.
While I'm talking about AQ, it needs a desperate change to resources that you can use. I went through so many items because of champions larger healthpools from being R4's.
1. Get rid of the daily purchase limit on health pots and revives. If you aren't going to give percentage based ones or increase their values, we need a way to buy more at a time. 4/revs per week and 2/pots per day is silly.
2. Rev's need to be percentage based. They don't need to be like AW where it's 1 glory or anything but we need 40% rev's in AQ. 4k health is nothing.
3. Health Pots need to be updated. 9.5k ones need to be cheaper and we need to be able to buy single 14k or higher ones with glory.
4. We need 6hr boosts that can work with AQ and AW at the same time. The common boosts can be just for everything else but AQ and AW and we should be able to use them at that the same time since the 6hr ones don't apply to my champs if I am question.
5. I'd like to see boosts like Power Start 1 or invulnerability in AQ as well. If you aren't planning on making it fun, then let us have those advantages that AW has to get the pain of AQ done and over with.
6. I think it's time that the ticket system gets scrapped. We don't need a cost entry for it any more. It really has no beneficial effect.
That's all for now. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
P.S- I am serious about compensation. I don't ask for it a lot but it's really needed. Good luck today for everyone doing day 5 on map 8.
