T1As, where are they at?

CoatHang3r, I just figured it out. You have a player rating of over 600k. That means that you ranked up a ton of champs while T1Alphas were plentiful. That is why you arent feeling the crunch as much as the rest of us. You are most likely in that end game tier that needs more T2 Alphas due to most of your champs being R3. Im guessing you have at least 30 5* champs in your stable too. This isnt a knock on you, but for the players that are 250k-500K there is a bottleneck because we are now starting to get more 5*'s easier and at a faster rate and the resources are slowing us down. If I get a new 5 star, it will take me almost all month to rank him to just R3. That only 13-14 5* to R3 a year! That is deathly slow especially if we want to level any 4*'s we get.
You need to run the monthly eq for 5 a month.
You do not need to spend all valor nor glory, doing so would likely leave you with expiring t1a anyway.
If you can’t be bothered to earn t1a in atena its pretty obvious why you have a problem with t1a.
Map3, nah I do 66555 wish it was more 6.
T1a is as plentiful as it has always been, what’s changed is I can use the glory I get in place of t1a for other resources so I’m not selling t1a on a regular basis. But I could spend that glory on t1a if I really wanted a lot of it. Also 5 stars were much rarer back when I was selling t1a so I didn’t have the opportunity to rank many of them up with it.
You should be able to r3 a 5 star every 2 weeks if you are playing for t1a and also somehow getting the t4c at the rate of 1.5 a week and t4b at 3 a week while also getting 5 t1a a week. Which surpringly is completely possible when you manage your glory and take advantage of the available t1a. I’ll be enjoying the 26 r3 5* I level this year. If you want to do the same step up your game.
How about stop opening crystals, t4cc shards? I have 0 sympathy for you. You have shortage of T1A because you are opening all t4cc you get and dont know how to manage your account. I dont mean to be disrespectful to you in any way but look, smart players save all t4cc crystals and shards until they know they can rank up some champs so they dont expire.
Finally, you created this problem yourself.
I'm not the one in the argument. I won't be sucked into it either. Nice try, though.
I clearly needed a certain class. I have t4c crystals galore obviously, why are all the time the same? Because I hoard them which I shouldn’t have to
When you play the game and manage your resources correctly you’ll find the acquisition rate for resources in relation to ranking 5* is almost uniform for all 3 materials. Given that to be true there is no one bottleneck unless the user creates one through mismanagement of resources or lack of taking advantage of all sources. That’s not something Kabam can do for you, you need to do it yourself and you won’t be able to do it yourself if you are passing the buck and denying reality while blaming others for your shortcomings. Btw we are clearly in opposition and you’ve called me a ****, what’s the opposite of a ****?
.... vice versa for us you don't always get what you want sadly I need t4b and t4c badly but i have an overload of alpha 1 while you higher guys have what i want lol and also if I had that many 5* or rank 5 4*s I wouldn't be complaining tbh
If there are people with t4cs expiring from lack of the most basic ranking unit then there does seem an imbalance and the fact that you don't want to rank your 5*s is your choice, I would say it's an unusual point for kabam to try and slow ranking at level 2 5*s. god forbid I rank too many of my 5*s to r2, when I've worked hard for t4cs and t4bs... that's right they come in map 5 crystals, I have enough of them,
My friend dont open the crystals and save them. It is that simple.
I believe T1 Alpha is the fifth milestone for the three day events.
Once again read this and stop complaining I wish i had that amount of t4cc but do I complain no and i wish i had enough more than one 5* to upgrade
Sorry popularity of opinion from misinformed and shortsighted people doesn’t shape reality/truth. I want to rank my 5 stars I also want to r4 my 4*. If I was trying to do that with 4* t4b would be what I would run short of. So really what I should be doing is alternating 4/40 and 2/35 to achieve balance but damn what would I do with my t4cc that would then be unbalanced. Also I wouldn’t **** and moan if it didn’t fall in my hand and I didn’t get my way.
The simple fact is if you want balance while ranking 5* alternating r2 then r3/r4 will bring harmony to your resources but only bringing them to r2 will create an imbalance. That’s an individual flaw in management not a lack of resources or imbalance. Own your destiny and stop trying to put your short comings on anyone other than you.
Pro tip. If you don’t like something change it. If you can’t change it change the way you think about. Having a tantrum isn’t going to change anything other than how people perceive you. Ugh millennials, fml.
Here's every way I know to get tier 1 alpha cats.
First, the monthly event quest has five: three require completing master mode. I'm assuming anyone running into the 5* t1a crunch can at least complete master mode once.
Based on my analysis of glory points verses season three rewards, it is not unreasonable to buy two t1a in each AQ week. Two sets you back 775 glory, which leaves behind more glory than you used to get relative to the value of S3 rewards for most alliances in the expert bracket. That's eight a month.
The fifth milestone in the three day events gets t1a. For an active alliance, item use shouldn't be difficult to get, if necessary burn items you don't need like XP boosts or tiny health potions that are likely expiring in most players' stashes. Completion is not easy to get always, but it is something an active alliance should be able to reach at least once or twice a month. It takes a lot of arena grinders in the alliance to get the others: it is easy if you have them, hard if you don't. All together, a player in an active alliance should get at least four a month, up to ten a month for a really active alliance with a lot of arena grinders.
The alpha arena event doesn't take a lot of time, especially for any player ranking up 5* champs which is fundamentally the only way to run into the wall on t1 alpha. 90 minutes to two hours is probably enough for most players to get this one, about three times a month.
Nine a month is the floor for any player likely to be leveling 5* champs in any capacity. For any player in an alliance in the expert tier, seventeen is a reasonable amount to expect to get per month. An active arena grinder in an active alliance of arena grinders can expect to get twenty-six per month doing nothing special. That's actually quite a bit more than I expected before running the math.
Apparently you can also get extremely lucky in the Collector free for all: I got an alpha drop in that once. But I don't recommend trying to farm that for alphas. It happens so rarely for all I know it was a malfunction.
Also, don't play map 3. The people suggesting that are crazy. The reward drop for bouncing around between expert and advanced is so high its just plain stupid to suggest. You're better off buying alphas with glory than eating the glory penalty.
Black Friday offered 4 t1a and 6 t4b
Cyber Monday offered 0 t1a and 11 t4b
Cyber Monday Claendar offered 0 t1a and 1 t4b
Act 5.4 offers 0 t1a and 5 t4b
That's 4 t1a vs 23 t4b. With those deals/rewards alone you can't rank a single 5* champ to any level. There is no reason to complete neglect one of the main rank up materials.
