I think most acknowledge that they would suck, but personally I'd just like them removed and changed to enemies, friends, etc. so I can have my spideyverse synergy team back since those crit buffs weren't breaking anything.
i think a lot of people agree that we don't want them at all, the problem is what that would require on kabam's part to make it right for how long they didn't work and why they not only didn't tell anyone until we discovered it, but after people had ranked champs up for their defense specifically for this purpose. I'm never holding my breath again for any form of compensation as the current company has made it clear they neither feel sorry or care to gain goodwill or make situations right above and beyond, ever again. So my worry is they will continue to buff nodes, not increase rewards, not compensate or give rank down tickets for champs people used and ranked, and not bring synergies into war again...or all of that but they actually do bring them in and it makes everything even harder but no balance of rewards earned for the difficulty jump. All of those options wouldn't surprise me at this point.
They worked in the last year. I don't get why people are trying to change history by acting like they never really worked, or haven't in years. I think they went away around the time of the AW map change last fall. They also stopped working right after these specific defensive minded synergies started appearing. So why should anyone, experienced or not, assume that these cool new synergies that will make their defenders much harder may not actually work? No message ever came out. Team ratings still went up. Everything looked like they should be working.
Just because there are other issues doesn't mean this one should be ignored. It's an easy fix. Just state in war placement screen that synergies are currently disabled. When they enable them, remove that. But don't let noobs rank up bad champs for defense because of synergies that won't work on defense.
The comment about disabling masteries is just confusing.
It's hard to know when they stopped working because the addition to crit/armor/attack/etc isn't shown anywhere except in PI. The only way people even realized they weren't working were when the unique synergies were added. They could have stopped working a long time ago (or perhaps always disabled?) and nobody would have known.
No. There was evidence of Mordo/Dorm synergy working because people would come back to life. Spark's worked with Miles because you'd see the 7 charges.
I agree there was no communication regarding when they were deactivated, but they definitely worked last summer.
Point is, it would take a huge rework of the entire war map to have activated synergies not be a disaster. Let's just put this on the shelf for a bit longer and aim for stability, fairness, and legit bug fixes. The idea of a banner saying "synergies disabled on war defense" would be perfect for the time being. Miike, make it so!
And issue rank down tickets so people aren’t sitting on champs they were intending to use for a game mode that kabam couldn’t make work properly. If there was any instance to do them for a fair reason, I would say this is it. Give everyone five total for their defense team. Easy as that.
Back when it was essentially mystic wars there were mordos and dorms everywhere on the maps and I never once fought one that came back to life. Don't know anyone who did. Never saw a youtube video of it either. Nor have I ever seen 7 charges on Miles to start. Not sure you're correct there.
And why isn't there a single "sticky" thread for this topic of AW Defensive Synergy, instead of having to search thru a myriad of different threads ?
I’d love to see a return to a more cooperative AW map with synergies turned on. Keep the node difficulties as-is, but with say 7 paths instead of 9.
Less paths with some paths requiring multiple players to finish them is an intriguingidea
I want the full potential of my defenders, not watered down versions. The excuse for not having them work is unacceptable. Make it happen for a week to measure it, don't just say it would be too hard without data to back it up.
Weird that 100% AW exploration is intended to be rare but defender synergies don’t work because they would make AW “too difficult”
No, we want more defensive kills. 2 sides of same coin...maybe, but when you only have a few champs and you're determining whom to rank based on synergies, it would be nice if the synergies worked (or at least said they do not work on defense, in LOL, etc.)
Like your opponent wouldn’t be using them too? All this would do is force both teams to spend more. This on top of the new nodes would render the war rewards not worth the price of admission.
The node buffs are taking the place of synergies on AW defense. Now, maybe get rid of the node buffs and put the synergies in place. Then that will encourage diversity and some real thinking to make your AW Defense more challenging.
Here's the obvious answer to everyone but them. Instead of giving us the option to play smarter and make the map harder through synergies, they just increased node difficulties. If some synergies are just too exploitable on boss nodes or whatever, then get them out of there the way you got rid of the Void/Avenger synergy that was originally there. I'm sure people that have Antman would rather have a crit or attack buff rather than a thorns buff that only works on offense.
