Prestige rankups

This is a list of the highest prestige champs in the game, and since this is going to be so important for rewards, many players will rank the same champs purely for prestige, which will make the game very boring. Has this not been thought through.? or did the community ask for it? Just wondering

hurray we get to play marvel the contest of 30 champions lol

@AndyBaron7 EXACTLY.

I'm testing a new theory. This new theory suggests OP was born after the year 2001. I'm not expecting a confirmation on that but according to the data, it seems likely

This is nonsense. It’s surely no more boring than constantly seeing the same meta champs in battlegrounds every contest. If anything it’s surely a positive thing if players are having to make decisions about ranking up a meta champ because they kill everything and another who isn’t a high tier champ but does have high prestige.

CGR, Human Torch, Thing are all champs that come up regularly in BG decks that are nowhere near the top 50% for prestige let alone the top 30.

If anything it’ll lead to more diversity of champs not less.

According to my theory, you were definitely born before 2001

Reptoid

Some people will, but I assume the majority(like me) won't be too bothered with it. I will R4 who I like, like Iceman after getting him duped with the promo code later today.

You just get into a vicious circle if you want to rank only for prestige, for getting the best rewards possible, like what is the point in a game to chase the best rewards, to use those rewards to rank champs you don't like, to get even more rewards to rank up champs you don't like?

Jerichoharris

Your theory looks like it’s working in practice 😁.

While prestige now matters more, I’m not considering it much more than I did prior to the update. Most of those champs above are quite good and are either already ranked on my account, or will be ranked on my account eventually. Before and after this update, I was not considering ranking up silver surfer or idoom, and will not be touching those champs ever. The power and utility of a champ matters so much more than prestige. This is a game at the end of the day, and I want to have fun with my rank ups. Prestige was and remains at the bottom of the totem pole for rank up decisions for me.

I doubt there'll be a super narrow prestige the way it is for top 30 AQ. Even with some of my horrible prestige champs ranked to 4, I sincerely doubt I'll miss out on qualifying for top rewards.

It seems to me, and I may be wrong here, but that this has potential to be a very good thing. Instead of everyone saying Valiant rewards are looped in with Paragon, that Valiant rewards are outdated, when's the new progression coming, etc…. We will now get rewards based on our roster size. I will never rank up for prestige, but I feel like I will soon be getting better rewards that will actually allow me to rank up who I want more (I don't know what my prestige was before the switch, but it's 25.5k now). And as rank 5s come in to play, all they have to do is add those mats in the store and we'll start earning towards them.

THUNDERBIL

I got 9 out of these 30 and all are unawakened. Guess I will start ranking up Onslaught, Idoom, Surfer, Serpent, Prowler, Spyd Sup, NSK, OS and Enchantress.

Vanitelia

A single rank up isn't going to make much of an impact on your overall prestige. Taking a champ from r3 to r4 will boost your prestige by around 300. Not a big jump by any means. So for most of us, if you have a champ you want to rank up because you like them, go for it. Just make sure you prioritize those champs when deciding on who to use the stones for.

For me, the difficulty isn't with rank ups as much it is with access to sig stones. I still have a hard time thinking about how an r3 sig 60 Juggs has a higher prestige than an r3 sig 40 Quicksilver, but that's what the game is telling me. In the end, it's all going to come down to those sig levels.

Is this supposed to be a insult? then it should be "Op was born BEFORE 2001".

No, see, my theory is that anyone born after the year 2001 has an extremely hard time understanding and identifying the concept of nuance, unlike those born before then. Based on OP's post, they definitely do not understand nuance and therefore, are most likely born in 2001 or after

WhoDaPoo

My guess was that your guess was based on use of punctuation and capitalization.

Deacon

i've never ranked up to be one of the people screaming "first Rank whatever in the world" or to be just like everyone else. My rank ups will continue to be who I want to play most with and who might give people fits defensively. I couldn't care less about the norm nor what everyone else will be doing for prestige.

I'd much rather enjoy the game than be fussed about who has a bigger stick.

Your generation elected Trump as the president and parented those born after 2001. Your lack of education shows but there's no need to share every dumb idea you get on the internet. No idea who hurt you but your discriminatory language is of help to no one really.

How ironic that you won't understand the nuance behind my words and the idea I'm trying to convey…

Could you be so kind to share the "nuance" that somehow those you classified as born after 2001 / child like might have missed.

Cause right it just seem that you disregard anyone opinion that does not match your to be childish kids that lack intelligence and maturity.

Also please explain to us how much more mature you are discussing about a mobile game about fictional super heroes characters.

So far haven't seen you contribute to the discussion with any opinions, only attacking people on what I assume their maturity and intelligent.

That's the general idea, I won't go ahead and make any generalizations regarding generational differences cause they would just be uneducated opinions influenced by what the social media, news etc. want me to believe. Too hard for some people to grasp that idea though, they'd rather come up with a whole theory based off of their personal limited interactions online.

Idk why its so difficult to make evaluations on a case by case basis instead of using such discriminatory language, social media actually controls people a lot more than they realise. They just parrot what they're told while missing the "nuance".

(Also, all of this is actually not targeted at a single person or generation but mainly at that certain mindset that can be seen on anyone regardless of their generation. Apologies for coming off as a bit too rude)

Finally…

Never thought the day would come but…

If you're as smart as you seem to think you are then I believe you'll be able to figure it out on your own without a dumdum like me getting in your way your royal highness

Onepieceisnotreal

the prestige gap is huge between r4 onslaught and r4 juggernaut. It will be a nice move if they make all champs at same rank similar prestige.

I think it will be good. if they focus on match making in BGs based on top 30 prestige.

So simple answer is that you got nothing to contribute, just continue with the personal attack.

Well, ok, thanks for letting us know.

Hope you have a good day

People are not getting that top prestige champs doesn't change much.

It your sig 20 r3s, those impact your prestige much much more than top prestige sig 200 r4.

You do not need top 10 prestige champs to be r4 sig 200. You need your r3s to not get stuck at sig 20.

Top 10(even 20) prestige champions value has never been this low before.

half this list is champs I would never use.

Hi @SirGamesBond ,

For me it is not which champs we need to rank up, for me I can't just afford to ranking up champs just for Prestige, and yes by having 30 it might actually help players have a while range of choice.

For me the problem is the reward scaling with Prestige, which is achieved by spending for playing or skill.

I think that those that spend should have an advantage and get better rewards. However that is already achieved by have better dex in BG and champs for AW.

Bringing Prestige calculation in the EQ is a step too far.

This is exactly right. It's possible that the very top alliances will still mandate prestige rank ups while they adjust, but I would be surprised if it's more than three alliances by the end of the year, and beyond that I will be surprised if any of them do it at all. The likely way forward is that alliances that care about prestige will require a specific target, and they will let their players figure out how to get there.

The goal of this change was to make it so that broad roster power was what matters. If you look at your top 30 prestige and think about it, you will see that's what you should focus on. For instance, the difference in prestige between my two top prestige champions at R4 Sig 200, Onslaught (34210) and Photon (33670), is 540. The difference between R4 Sig 200 Photon (33670) and R3 Sig 100 Photon (25078) is OVER 8000 prestige. Who you rank up and sig up now matters a lot less, what matters is how many R4s you have and how high their sig is.

There is no doubt that there will be an adjustment period. But this is a new paradigm for thinking about roster power, and lots of players are still stuck in the old way of thinking.

From this List:-

4 x is not available in Titan crystals begore MEQ start. If you want before that you would of need to buy Feature Valiant crystals.

2 x only available in for the first time in Basicpool, again a week after MEQ start, before that you would have to get very luck with special crystal pulls.

2 x is only "essentially" available behind pay wall.

So over 1/4 are not available unless you spend or very lucky

I as a f2p will never compare myself with spenders. And I'll keep ignoring them becuase thier progression has nothing to do with my personal progression.

The 90% of mcoc f2p population and the occasinal dolphins falls in the same bucket for this new prestige change. This change rewards those players who have been playing harder and/or for longer.
