Did Kabam lie to us?

Im sure Kabam told us we get to choose from any of the defenders on wheel of fortune, but that was just a lie?

Why Kabam, why even allow for any confusion? How hard is it just just stick to what you say, you know EVERYONE wants Torch which is why you're selling him so why would you put him in here, as a defender and make everyone believe we get him?

It's a joke that you're literally selling him and then this is just a kick to the teeth of the player base.

I'm sure it wasn't a lie. I doubt they said you can choose from any of the 12 defenders, it was probably said that it is a selector among the 12 defenders. However, we just assumed it was going to be all 12 defenders.

More of a miscommunication than anything else.

Darkraw346

Yeah,

I think the most stupid thing here is the fact they COULD make everyone happy, just don't put Torch and Thor Ragnarok there to begin with, put another cool champs who would be in the selector.

They've totally made up this drama, so they had it coming

TotemCorruption

I'm going to select Dust even if Torch and Thor were available, but yeah, why put them in the quest if they're not going to be in the selector?

Funk

When you say “I’m sure” have you validated this?

CheeseMaster482

Not even dust is in the selector lol.

Johnnoooooo

Wasn't a lie, but not exactly honest.. bit like how they duped us on the superior banquet crystals

FiiNCH

I’m sorry but this is nonsense. The appropriate thing they should have done from the start was be crystal clear with the community to avoid a scenario like this. Anyone who thinks this wasn’t a scenario they should have predicted doesn’t have their head screwed on.

I don’t care about the champs in the rewards, I get frustrated by the continual poor quality of communication.

MrSakuragi

Nah I just rewatched it “The selector gives you a 7* of one of the 12 defenders in the quest.” Would they say that and then have only 10 champions in the crystal? Perhaps but that’s dumb and not how most would interpret what we were told. You’re still getting 1 of the 12 defenders. Classic Kabam

I would’ve done it if I could have gotten Thor

Average_Desi

You know, I agree with you. But like, how hard would it have been to say it properly."selector from the defenders, but not all the defenders " or even just say "a special new selector. It contains champs like Bullseye, spiral and Serpant." Less information, more accuracy

CrashOut

Exactly this, they worded it to make us all think we'll get to chose from any of the defenders, they put in Torch but don't include him in the selector. That's misleading the players and it's a sh*t thing to do

There's already a LOT of people unhappy with Torch being introduced how he is, how mahy champs Kabam are literally selling and to do something like this is just a disgrace

Searmenis

They didn't lie, they said it s a selector for one of the 12 defenders, selector of five champs, and "we don t want to spoil you who it there is on it".

Pikolu

Where did you watch it? I tried finding it myself but couldn't find it anywhere.

Probably the content had already been made with HT as defender and they realize it late that they can sell Human torch on July 4 sales....its ok. No one has problem with that, but they shouldn't have promised a selector of 12 defenders

Pikolu

Fair enough. I will retract my original statement

Graves_3

Man!! That selector of 5 champs is the epoch nexus. The champion selector Mike said was one of the 12 defenders

MrSakuragi

They never said there are 5 champs in the selector. That is the epoch nexus they were talking about.

Sambob

Weird that us dummies keep "misunderstanding" Kabam when we listen to what they say! This has happened twice now within a few months. Remember the heart of fire, "6 champion classes in the crystal" and now this. If we have to go back on livestreams to listen to their very precise (and misleading) wording to figure out that they didnt technically lie, then maybe there is a problem.

Johnnoooooo

Don't know how to post a vid so turned subtitles on and screen Shotted it
Clearly a lie

Average_Desi

CrashOut

I wonder if Kabam will address any of this, clearly a lot of people took what was said this way and this has a left a lot of people quite unhappy

Ercarret

Yes, this. It's not like either of them are generally super hard defenders that couldn't be replaced with just any other champions that is available as a 7*.

That being said: I've seen a rumour both in this thread and elsewhere that Dust is not in the selector. I'm not sure if it was a typo (the stickied post has an edit), but she is. They also added a Titan Nexus and a 7* Deathless piece selector to it, so I guess we got 12 options in the end anyway, which I'm happy with.

BringPopcorn

Here how it would be addressed.
"Dear summoners, on livestream we were so excited announcing all this new exciting things we had for you on the month of June and we may have made some mistakes. The excitement was so great that we used the wrong words and miscommunicated what we meant to say. We apologize for the inconvenience"...
Would that satisfy you?..
You are fighting a fight you are going to lose.

summerdeer

@TotemCorruption i wouldve seleted thor but sadly they got my hopes up and let me down

CrashOut

To be honest, yeah I'd be fine with that.

Nothing can be done now, they're not going to add Torch of Thor and canr go back change what they said.

An apology for miscommunication would be fine, acknowledging the problem is all we can ask... silence kinda feels like we created this problem as we interpreted what they said wrong, taking liability is always good.

Also seem they added a titan nexus and 7* deathless selector so really good changes

Furrymoosen

Yes.

While I'm glad they can't post currently (if only it was indefinitely), I would welcome a butteredpopcorn tantrum on this situation right now. I think we finally found an issue that calls for his particular non-skill.

An "apology" and some unknown future compensation is all banned people got, I don't even expect anything on this.
