Why couldn't they just done Tier 3 Ascension Dust for 7 stars?

I know its too late now, but all this ascension stuff for 7 stars is not only confusing to me, but just really annoying, hence why I left for 2ish months and came back.

You need to spend tier 2 dust? Ok.
I dont get why we now need class ascension tokens and the actual champ tokens to ascend them? and why so many levels?

Could they have just introduced "Tier 3 Ascension Dust" and you would need like 300 dust to ascend a 7 star once only.

5* = 100 Tier 1 Dust
6* = 200 Tier 2 Dust
7* = 300 Tier 3 Dust

I dont get it

I have frustrations with ascension too but players need to realize that it's basically like a new rarity which means all those pain points get brought back.

It means a long time chasing fav champs and long time for new releases.

Generic dust that can be used on anyone would defeat the entire purpose so they need to keep champ and class tokens in the system and they can't put ascension fragments in the titan since it's based on a depreciated resource like titan shards, especially 7* shards.

A new rarity is a new economy and all the pains that come with that.

This was the 7* launch pool. Some good champs in there but also a lot of mids.

Generic T3 dust would mean everyone would focus on ascending their Onslaughts, SWs, and all the new champs. Kabam would lose a ton of money and it would defeat the purpose of ascension acting as a new rarity because new rarities don't give players much choice, as we can see below.

Kabam can tune things but their ascension design feels right.

Because even if they choose the pool, it wasn't enough for them , they wanted to get rid of the choice of who you decide to rank up among their decided pool and make it all RNG,

Not fun

How much choice do we have in a new rarity?

Not much at all.

They decide the pool.

They decide the releases which are frustrating and slow as hell.

We need to obtain the right catalysts to rank them up.

And we usually wait a long time to pull high value champions and we have lower chances at getting them than we do now. When Photon was still relatively new, players had maybe 1-3 shots at her in the titan crystal, not 15-20 like many do now.

Ascensions are a new rarity and the old pain points come back because it has to. If class and champ tokens were gone and we only had generic dust with no limitations, it wouldn't be a new rarity at all and literally nothing to chase for except dust and also Kabam would bleed money from it.

I didn't like ascension at all and still have frustrations but it brought an entirely new chase that I'm starting to enjoy and that's a good thing. How boring would it be for players if the next 11 ascension levels only involved dust? No class tokens, no champ tokens, just dust. It would suck and Kabam would get slaughtered in sales, or they'd REALLY have to monetize it.

What they're doing is good and we should give it a chance. I'm NOT a fan of super whales always being 2 ascensions ahead but that's another topic.
