What's the reason for a 7* Champ requirement gate in WOW Gauntlet?

The individual fights that panned throughout the weeks had certain champ requirements but were not gated to rarity. With the gauntlet dropped, why limit champ based on rarity to complete/ explore the quest?

Thoughts?

To make it more difficult.

Because the pool of 7 stars is limited as compared to 5 and 6 Starz so to make it a challenge

Because there had to be something to make it harder.
Rather than certain tags, they just made it so that you had to bring a couple 7* on one path, 1 7* on the other.

It's fine, herc only takes 1 spot 😘 rest of 2 spots can go for random 7*

Gating for just one particular champion seems crazy. But, that champ being Herc makes sense!

Pool size wrt rarity does make it more harder!!

Gating based on tags would seem repetitive.

That doesn’t stop people from using herc tho?

that didn’t stop then it should be need 3 7 star one bout party to prevent him

Because Then Kabam's wording of, "6* are still very much relevant with Ascension" gets nullified.
Kabam don't want to make exclusive content for 7*, yet.

Didn't stop me from doing all paragon objectives on the left path with Herc, Odin, Elsa

lol this is exactly probably it. to prevent a herc team with recoil masteries rolling over content.

This is what I did for the left side. Herc and then 2 7 star cosmics to knock out 5 objectives at once lol

Eliminates the Herc/Heim synergy. I wanted to go back in to try out the old Electro/Heim cheese on Aegon (build up the furies and then let him hit you) but with the gate, it's not possible. Clever devs.

To make people feel forced into "buying" 7*s/Rank Up materials

It adds a little bit of difficulty without requiring the objectives to be too restrictive.

If you could have either:
1. Class based objectives with some 7-star restrictions
2. Tagged based objectives and no 7-star restrictions

I know I would prefer #1. I would much rather be able to complete as many objectives in one run than have to rerun annoying fights multiple times. Spiderham's evade annoys me to no end everytime I have to face him in difficult content.

The side benefit is that it forces players to use 7-star champions that might not normally use, and make players appreciate non-Herc type champions. I know that my appreciation of Gamora has risen dramatically after doing a Cosmic only run.

Much better than tags.

Was she really good for the Hulkling fight? Thinking of a Cosmic team with Ronan/Gamora/Aarkus for that left side.
