GAME BALANCE ISSUE - T4 CATALYSTS (BASIC AND CLASS

The game team needs to look at the current balance between T4B and T4C. Currently, more and more players are faced with either letting T4C expire due to lack of T4B, or ranking champs they would otherwise not want to rank just to avoid having T4C expire in their stashes. Since we can no longer sell T4C (but you insist on keeping an arbitrary and pointless cap of 8 T4C), players are now in a position where they may have to let catalysts expire with zero compensation for these hard-earned items. This means that T4C (which is supposedly more valuable than a T4B) will either go to waste, or players will have to hoard crystals. The game team has consistently taken the position that they do not want us hoarding resources. And regardless of whether you hoard or let them expire, the player is not allowed to use the resources they earned in AQ--resources that we have paid to get, whether it is through map cost donations, or units ($$$) for the revives and heals needed for the harder maps. It makes no sense that a team that places in the top 15 in AQ receives 1 T4B and 2 T4C when the T4B to T4C ratio for ranking a 4* to r5 is 5:3, a 5* to r3 is 4:3, and a 5* to r4 is 6:4. Not to mention, you need to use 3 T4B just to get a 4* to r4 and 6 T4B to get a 5* to r2.
Simply put, you need to provide more ways for players to obtain T4B and at a faster rate (and not just through weekly direct buy offers), or you need to lift the 8 catalyst cap on T4C. Otherwise, why should a player be motivated to push for top rewards in AQ, when those rewards are just going to either go to waste, or sit in our crystal inventory?

You can also have 4 T4BC and something more then 155.000 glory that you can invest in 9 more T4BC. As you already knows, you can also have 4/5 T4BC a month from arenas and monthly quests. thats around 18/19 T4BC a month
Very sad they're expiring.
Same here. It's taking me so long to get enough t4cc to get my first set of R5 champs, and these guys are complaining about having too many t4cc. They seem to be the 1% of the MCoC playing community with their first world problems.
Me three
Prestige is important, probably the most important thing.
For the top 0.1% of players (top 100) where most have 100% LoL there is NO progression
For the rest who get less T4B than the guys previously mentioned its a game of chicken and egg. How much is needed to be spent to compete? The answer is 100% LoL and get some premium prestige 5* and R4 them.
For people not willing to do that you need to curb your expectations and carefully pick who you rank up.
For me personally I am not going to be ranking any more 4* unless I have to as the recent availability of 5* champs means in the long run 4* are less viable. (sure there are some god tier champs but think long term)
This does mean hoarding AQ map crystals and building up stocks of T4B to ensure when you do get the 5* you want you have the resources.
The slow trickle of resources is designed to keep new players hungry for progression (those that don't quit because it's too slow) but it doesn't allow for the appropriate use of hard fought for resources of the veterans.
More T4B are needed
More T1A are needed
More T2A are needed
and if we want the elite players to not get bored we need T5B sooner rather than later.
