7R4 is coming, but it's also time for adding ascend-2?
After the cyber weekend, endgame players have 30-40 7R3, they nearly upgraded all the top-tier champions, you may run into all-7R3 match in battleground. At this point, almost everyone thinks 7R4 is coming, it may start to appear in the banquet event, a lot of people will have their first 7R4 in early next year.
Based on what we've seen in the last couple years, cadence of a new rank is 18 months, so it's impossible for players to get many 7R4 in the next 6 months, what can make them feel good besides having more and more second-tier 7R3? Ascend-2 is the answer!
Because today only handful 6-star champions are still useful for endgame players (a probably a dozen), and I do agree bringing those champions into 7-star pool may break the game again, so what Kabam can do is adding tier-3 primordial dust into the game and enabling ascend-2 for 6-start, people can be excited again by having 6R7 hulkling, CGR....
