The conglomeration of issues of 19.0 and 19.1 make 12.0 look like summoner appreciation month.
12.0 was an intentional and deceitful action by Kabam. This doesn't look to be either of those things, just poor network design bad code. Don't get me wrong, it does still suck but I just don't think they are doing any of this with intent.
The biggest issue with 12.0 was that they actually sold specific packages for Doctor Strange, Thor and I think Wolverine along with several other rank up and sig stones packages that were not as directly tied to any specific champ but were heavily used on those three, BW, SW, Ultron, etc as they were all widely regarded as the top champs for their respective classes in the game at that time. They did all of this just before announcing the nerfs and 12.0. It was the single most shadiest thing they have ever done on a long list of shady things to put it mildly.
These server and bug issues are annoying, but not nearly the same thing.They really need some redundancy on their network.Fault them for ignorance here perhaps as most if not all of these outages could be avoided with better network infrastucture, qa on their code updates but they aren't intentionally trying to make this happen. They lose money too when the game is down or half the player base can't login without setting their phones on fire.
You’re right that this issue, as opposed to 12.0, is clearly not intentional. However, it’s impossible to refute that this sort of calamitous server insanity has had a far greater impact on the player base than 12.0 ever did. At least we could log on during 12.0; we could still keep up with events and arenas and we didn’t miss out on rewards. The money we spent wasn’t instantly rendered moot. Now I’m stuck staring at the pretty loading screen, wasting energy, missing out on AQ, and losing points in arena.
If you weren't missing out on any rewards after 12.0 then you were way more skilled than 90% of the player base. Maps 5 and 6 were literally undoable for top alliances that were doing them every week before the update.Iceman on the monthly quest in 12.0 made the Symbiod this month look like a cake walk. It was only after the boycott that changes were made and difficult parts of the game became playable again. Anyways, I'm not disagreeingthat this current situation is bad too. Honestly I'm not sure which is worse. Both are very bad I guess but for very different reasons.
