Buffing 2 star dupes

My thought process when writing this is focused on new players and mid tier players progressing through the game, and at no point have I heard anyone say that a 2 star was valuable to them past act 1. Considering that even endgame players still acquire premium hero crystal shards at a high rate and pull mostly 2 star champs, what benefits do they provide to any roster outside of a 1st day beginner? I am proposing something that not everyone will agree with, but something I think can benefit everyone and change the perception of 2 stars totally. Increasing the rewards of buffing 2 star are not really necessary, the tier of individual dupe rewards makes sense being that you get more iso-8 and better shards for better tier dupes, but the sig levels gained from 2 star dupes is honestly a little pathetic. I have been playing this game for 4 1/2 years and I do not have 1 max sig 2 star. I have never “whaled out” on any FGMCs or FPHCs before, and I do not grind arena for 20 hrs a week to acquire all the units and shards it has to offer, but 4 years of playing and not 1 max sig 2 star? I don’t wish to ramble too much about something as meaningless as a 2 star champ, but if kabam truly is looking to make the game more new player friendly, buffing the sig levels gained from duping 2 stars can go a long way. If the dupe level were to increase to 4 levels (50% of a 3 star dupe level) it would take 1/4 of the amount of dupes needed to reach max sig. still a high number of pulls (approximately 24) would would require time in order to be consistently pull max sig ability crystals. And once that level is reached, the amount of 3 star crystal shards acquired would increase rapidly, henceforth leading to more 4 star shards, and eventually more 5 star shards.

The intent of this post is to allow lower tier players to have a faster progression rate than it currently is. The importance may not be the most pressing at the moment, but it’s just one idea I’ve had to help people progress through the game faster, and reap the rewards of high tier gameplay. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I would appreciate feedback and suggestions to improve this proposal.

New players already progress much faster than those of us who have been playing for a significant amount of time.

When you say new players, are you referring to player with new accounts, or brand new players with no experience in the game whatsoever?

Both. There wasn't a monthly calendar back in the day, there have been some awful nice free rewards in those for new players who simply log into the game daily.

To a certain extent your right, an early grasp at new champs every 25 days would give players something to look forward to each month. What else helps them exponentially besides the new objective system?

2*s are great. I've also been playing for 4+ years as well but I have so many maxed... To not have ANY max'd after 4+ years, you must be playing extremely casually... Anyways, back to the awesomeness of 2* heroes. They are very usefully when practicing in Duels and harder content. Join the Duel Challenge room on Line and you will see that 2* heroes are used quite often to develop and showcase your skills.

How can OP be 4+ years in and not have a bunch of Max Sig 2* ? What about all the 2* Sig Stones you get, not to mention the game doles out PC crystals (from Shards) like candy nowadays and mostly always reward you with 2* hero pulls.

Of my approx 80x 2* champs, about half of them are already at Max Sig. Use the 2* (and 3*) Sig Stones on your heroes of each class that are closest to being Max, and once they hit max go to the next closest, etc.
(and that is with me even recycling, selling/repulling, a handful of the lower rated ones over and over just so I know I have some extra champs to Levelup during Levelup Events).
