R2 7* Accessible for Whales? Not cool....

Ashacekar

I see that whales may now have R2 Maxed 7* possibly awakened. That's no good for balance of the game. It will hurt battlegrounds and AW. They should have added a rankup material for 7* R2 requirement that's rare or not available. It's gonna be bad, i can already smell it.
I m not fighting a 80k ish awakened Korg in battlegrounds.

KT1 already has a video on this concern

Its not any different from when 5 and 6* came out. Chill.

AMS94

There is already a R2 Bishop
Probably many more....we just don't know yet

With how BG matchmaking currently is working I am likely to get matched with one such player thus again preventing me from getting out of VT

7* champs overlap 6* champs R4/R5 and R1/R2. 7* R2 takes the same catalysts as 6* R5 (but one more of each) because of this overlap. That's consistent with how the other rank overlaps work between rarities. It didn't break anything before, it won't break anything now.

Cool, spend more, get more. Game is working as it always has.

One match against one player with one R2 is not going to prevent you from sailing through the entire Victory tracks and into the Gladiator tracks where everyone has to match against everyone to compete on completely fair grounds without being handed specially curated matches designed to give you an easy path to promotion.

You won't have a choice. Top 10 AQ has had access to tons of T6B. We were bound to see R2's on day one. Just ban them if you see them. Nothing you can do about it.
.but on the flip side, would this be your opinion if you could R2 a 7*?

Wait whales are going to be further along than other players??? How can this be!!

BlackOracle

Well, drop over 20k a year and you'll get there.

Well, when a mama whale and a daddy whale love their roster, a Cosmic Ghost Rider swoops in carrying shiny crystals in a bag hanging from his teeth. These crystals come COD...

And plenty of chance that you don't match them. Eventually we'll all have r2 7* so what's your point?

KT did do a video on the alliance and solo events. He did say that the big spenders were going to whale out. You’re exaggerating though when you say he was concerned that it would lead to game imbalance.

KT would probably tell you to be patient and that in a few months, the materials that are being offered in the solo and alliance events will become more available to the average players.

This is the way that Kabam has introduced every new level of champions. The spenders will always have a head start, but the masses will eventually have the same opportunity at a much cheaper price.

GinjabredMonsta

You likely aren’t competing at the same level as the whales for it to even affect you and your progress. This is between the whales now. Let them fight

Marvelfan30

Is there someone besides magus who we all know most likely has 1 or 2 r2 7*s already that has a r2 7*

If i m getting a R2 6* on release day then it means it's FTP and most of us got it. So wouldn't be an issue.

Correct i just saw the thumbnail and not the complete video

Stellar

I have enough materials to rank up 3 7 stars Champions to rank 2 and i am not even close to what is really called a whale (maybe i am a tiny dolphin ) so yes you will probably see some accounts with 6 or more 7 stars rank 2 !

it might seems unfair to you but those who spend in the game will always have an advantage on F2P players. they are literally paying for this advantage. The good thing, for you is, as long as there are whales out there, you will be able to play this game

If everyone is getting the top tier progression stuff on day one it means the game is in maintenance mode and most of us will be looking for another game.

Not what i meant...but whining about whale getting an edge over F2P will not help either.

I mean post isn't about disrespting whales. They are needed for ecosystem. It's just my concerns that R2 7* being available from Day 1. It should probably have been restricted till some time. But if it's equivalent to maxed 6* then it's fine.

Well if you look more closely to all the rewards from the 7 stars event, you can gain nearly gain enough materials to rank up one 7 stars to rank 2. So even if whale will definitely have more than 1 7R2, everyone have the possibility to get one R2

If you’re a sweaty F2P arena player you could max out these milestones too. I’ve not spent in a long time, certainly since 7* shards were a thing and I’ve opened 2, and when the new feature drops I’ll have my third 7*. I also barely do arena, pretty much only when the 22hr event is on, so my unit stash is minimal and I’ll hit the first T6CC selector, probably for a total cost of around 2.5k units.

People like BG who live in the arena could, if they wished, max this event and have a 7R2.

Which arena gives basic T5, Alpha T3 and T5 CC?

Mauled

They give units allowing you to max the milestones. You don’t need any more R4 materials there’s enough floating about now…

Are you in a top 10 AQ alliance who does plat 1 or higher AW since T6CC were added to rewards?

No, no you're not.
