More Revives Compensation for the intercept bug

heehee

We need more compensation units and revives for the current intercept bug. We're wasting our time farming units and revives just for us to die by your bugs not cool.

I’m a little surprised the medium intercept announcement from @KabamDORK didn’t elicit any more outrage than it did.

Unless I misunderstand, the announcement statement that “[t]his system has been in place essentially unchanged since the game’s launch” seems important. Whether the system has been responsible for “lost intercepts” since launch is unclear, but it seems that intercepts have been a recurring issue for as long as I’ve been playing. Often, intercept complaints have gotten the usual “post a video” or “git gud” or “your device is the issue” comments (from the community, not the team, as far as I can recall).

What does this mean? Has it been an ongoing issue for a decade? Has it been off and on for a decade? Is it really a more recent phenomenon? I honestly do not know. It always seemed to me like the issue waxed and waned over time.

What I do know is that calls for recompense aren’t out of bounds here, even if quantification of harm from a (potentially) years long bug is near impossible to calculate. However, dumping pots on players who have neither the time nor the inclination to use them seems like a poor solution.

Assuming it gets fixed next update, discussing what and how much should be done seems to be a worthy discussion.

Nothing like losing 90 percent of your health in war to a failed intercept. They want us to buy potions only for our intercepts to fail no thsnks I won’t be getting scammed ever again

I think it's possible that the increased defender reaction times have led to the AI exploiting their ability to intercept a lot more (by increasing their window to do so).

This makes it feel like it's getting worse each year when it's potentially just the same base problem.

Where was that thread at again? I saw it once but I can’t find it now

BeastDad

So tired of winning intercepts with champs like kushala, and still getting wrecked by the defender with their medium attack.

It’s crazy the solution is just lose your health and be happy with our game

It was posted by Dork, not by MCOC Team.
And is still in the “Stickied” area.

i agree, a lot of the game mechanics are mostly the same from when they were introduced and the start of the game.
if it has always been the same would mean that the there have been issues from the start but with low problems/complaints it wasn't a problem to be addressed but with 60 fps essentially doubling the problems and complications. not suprised that it's getting worse

As I said yesterday, I was losing intercepts to Ordeal Thanos when you HAVE to intercept that I should have been winning. Death touch, game over. Revive.

@DrZola - why no bigger outrage? We all just accept it now. Me included. Don’t even know what compensation would look like. I mean, even if they give units, they can just devalue them by making unit costs even more…. “Here’s some units for the intercept bug… and now full July 4th offers will be 50,000 units. Totally unrelated of course (wink, wink)”

I think a lot of us have just been so beaten down by lack of acknowledgment that there’s no point in asking for compensation. Either Kabam will surprise us by giving out legit compensation, the likely case of underwhelming compensation, or no compensation. Nothing we say or do will impact their decision in any way, shape, or form.

What other company says tough luck we can’t figure out no compensation deal with it we own your souls play our game. Compensation will not kill the economy. Bad game mechanics like this intercept issue will kill the game. No one is gonna spend anymore when all we do is lose health cuz Kabam says so.

Unfortunately, that sounds pretty accurate.
