We want to ascend new champions in 2026 , NOT 2027

I believe I speak for everybody on this forum when I say:

do you want to spend 36k units to ascend every new champ or do you want to wait 1 year+?

probably neither options.

Community already proposed a lot of solutions for this, literally anything would be better than what was shown in the livestream.

Here are some key points.

We are fine to wait 6 months to ascend any new champ.

My idea would be, we wait 3 months to pull a new champ from titan (this already exists),
and then after another 3 months we get a gacha ascension super duper box, and we spend 20k titan shards for a chance to ascend one of the new champs.

So, its still like a titan crystal, but it offers us the option to ascend. (this would still preserve the value of titan shards, as someone else mentioned on the forum, the titans are losing value)

This way, the heavy spenders are happy they get to play with the new ascended toys for 6 months, and have an advantage. but after 6 months the rest of us can get to enjoy them to if we grinded enough shards.

Kabam, we absolutely love this game, but community is not happy, CCP members are not happy, and youtubers are not happy. I dont think there is a single person in the entire game who thinks the current system will be a good idea.

Update: I just saw a video of USAFA, member of CCP and ranked number 3 worldwide in the banquet 2025, also said this absolutely sucks . so if whales don't like this, who does then?

Tbh I would just put 7* ascension in hard af content so everyone can get it if they really want and that puts the whales in good spot since they can still get far with rank up resources but get blocked with acension that everyone can get to me this seems the best solution to balance the game as a whole but that being said we all know the next sale is gonna have so much ascension mats for whales so who even cares at this point the game has become to much about monitazation and all off us who arent spending much are just here waiting for some scraps

Couldn’t agree more, there are probably a ton of possible options, whether it’s Kabam or a recommendation from the player base who comes up with the best one doesn’t really matter. It’s just important for the health of the game that we don’t have to wait until 2027 before we see free acquisition for these ascension materials. 6 months would be a sufficient wait period for sure. This isn’t the deathless champion chase, where missing out on pieces from free content will have forced you to likely wait years before you’re able to catch back up. This is a monetary only advantage, the large majority of F2P players and light spenders won’t be buying featured valiants. That’s where the wait period on deathless champ pieces returning make sense, but this doesn’t as much.
