T1a bottleneck

Kabam now you have started to make 5* shards and therefore heros more available could you please revisit the cost to rank them certainly at lower levels? I am talking specifically about the number of t1a, Where i understand you want to keep the cost high to attain the higher levels of champions 5x t1a just to go from rank 1 to rank 2 is ridiculous similar to go rank 2 to 3. I currently have 16 5* heros at rank 1 thats 80 t1a i would need just to take them to tier 2. I will never catch up. Should be more like 1 or 2 t1a for rank 1 to 2 and 2 or 3 t1a rank 2 to 3

Welcome to the club. This is a game of progression. If you can't rank up it's not because of the lack of resources, it's because you're not "there" yet. Join an alliance that does Map 3 all week and you'll have enough T1 alphas to rank all your champs. Good luck!
Yeah. They sent out offers for people to buy but it didnt fundamentally change the shortages.
Biggest issues for me are gold and t1 alpha for end game.
Technically they'll all go past Rank 1. It's up to people who they Rank.
However, there will always be a limiting Resource. It takes longer to Rank a 5*, no matter how available the Shards are. Increase the Alphas, and it shifts to Basics. Increase the Basics and it shifts to something else. There is a limiting Resource because we can't Rank a 5* at the same rate as a 4*.
Give it 2 weeks and you will have enough resources to rank whatever champ you want, then wait the same again and repeat.
If your wanting to rank a 5* daily then obviously resources won’t be there!
So either just accept that it will take months to get certain things, spend thousands of dollars or play 24hrs a day.
The Meta for Alliance play needs to be adjusted its the cause of a lot issues in the game.
Do you really need to rank up every 5* Champ you get? If you didn’t need 5 for AW Defense 3 for Attack 3 more for AQ and 5 more for questing would you put so much emphasis on ranking up every champ?
Or...
As it has been asked many times...the alpha arena - add more milestones each with T1A was the reward.
Like this:
800,000 = 1 alpha/2k premium
1.5M = 1 alpha
3.0M = 1 alpha
This will allow more resources, but not flood the game. Personally I would like more in the alpha arena AND monthly.
This is very true especially with small amounts of Gold, Units, and T1 and T2 Alphas.
I agree with this. It takes some time to save Resources when it comes to Ranking higher Rarities. Ever since Shards became more available and 6*s were introduced, the drive to Rank 5*s faster has grown. They're still the same rarity, and it'll take longer to Rank one than a 4*. There would be little balance in progression if people were Ranking 4s and 5s at the same rate.
Am i correct in assuming you don’t have a 6*? The problem is that they take what, 500k gold to level up. It’s a huge chunk of gold. For a 5* rank 4 to rank up to rank its 500k for the rank up itself alone. It’s around 1.2mil for the entire rank up. When the time comes to rank 6* up I think it will be around 2 million gold for rank 1 to 2. That is a ridiculous sum when the ways of us getting gold are the exact same as when Aq season 1 was introduced.
but i also feel that limiting progress with the most "common" ressource is a bad design.
if your limited by t5b, t2a or t4cc, even t4b i can understand that as limiting us in the lategame progression, but t1a is, in the gameranking below t4b.
you need t4b first to 4*r4/5*r2 while you need t1a to 4*r3 for the first time. in the lower tiers you get them so often you sell them cause you cant get enough iso/champs to use all of them while when you get past 400k pi your starving for those to r2/3 your 5*s.
kabam did a great job with the t4b, with any expert tier ally you can get quite a few each week, but you dont see any t1a after map3 except from glory store, monthly event quest and the ally 3day events.
i hate that i have to r5 4* when i rather would r3 5* but i cant afford them cause of the t1a. i need 4 t1a to fully max out a 4* but i need 10 of them to r3 a 5*. funny about that, to r4 a 4* i need 3 t4b but i need only 2 for a r2 on the 5*.
im at over 550k pi now but instead of spending my glory on t2a half of my glory goes to t1a, the one ressource i sold back at 200k pi cause they expired on me. thats not me complaining about leveling slow, its me trying to explain that it feels crapy if your not limited by the rare but the common ressource.
put a daily quest in the game like the proving grounds, give more t1a for the milestones in arenas (instead of phc/3* shards for all i care), make the bottleneck the t4/5basic and the t4cc/t2a again.
