**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

Removal of Thorns: a new case for rank down tickets

Always invest in the otter box!! That said, I think the case took more damage than my character did from that poison
Don't waste the resources on ant man, man. Unless you have science t4ccs expiring
Yes, you can argue that. However, you would not be arguing that with the developers, because the developers aren't entertaining that argument, because they never said or even implied that RDTs were going to be offered whenever someone could argue that something's "effectiveness" is reduced. You can argue that happens to a number of champions with every single game change.
Not even a direct nerf necessarily warrants an RDT. The devs didn't say when a champ is nerfed they will issue RDTs. They specifically said they would only consider it when a significant change happened to a champion in the future. They implied it was an unlikely possibility, not a promise.
Think it was you that said you use bones currently on that node? Bones crushes AM better than most.
Stop being so arrogant. You weren't in my alliance. Stop pretending you know why I took him up when everyone else is telling you how feasible that situation is and why they did it too. I was in a 5m alliance, we didn't care about prestige and I already had an r4 Star-Lord. Your argument is invalid because I'm the only one who knows why I took him up and I'm being told others did the same thing. And now the carpet is being ripped out beneath us
I will say again. Rtds should have never been allowed for 5* r4 champs.
Personally, I can't remember the last time I even fought an ant man in war. I usually would laugh when I came across one. Unfortunately, one of our bgs has one ant man on defense out of necessity, but that's it (and it's certainly not an r4 champ). I think you know this was a bad decision and you want to rank him down as a result. Rank down tickets are a bad precedent to set. It's not like I'm ranking up my duped hulkbuster or duped magneto to r4 bc I know the rarity of t2as
I can live with your opinion. I appreciate the honesty rather than assuming my motives at the time.
I mostly agree but in some cases changes to the applications of certain champions could warrant RDTs. I personally feel no need to have rank down tickets but I can see the perspective of players who do. When will power was indirectly nerfed not scaling with inflated health people ranked down many champions because they were good only because of will power. The most glaring case was hulkbuster, pre 12.0 HB was a fantastic defender since will power made him take so little damage and with willpower nerfed he had no use as a defender any more so a many people used rdts to rank him down. Antman, luke cage, cyclops and colossus were mainly defender due to thorns nodes but now they are next to useless as defenders so even though the characters themselves weren't changed they might as well have been since one of their main uses were taken away.
Like I said, he was extremely effective. He was very much getting the job done. Like many others here. I'd do it again too if they weren't eliminating thorns. But we won't feed this troll here
Not just for these guys, but if they expect people to bring diverse champs to defense then they should give us a way to diversify them without having to farm all over again for different rank ups.
I see people saying it wouldn't be fair, but I don't see how it would be unfair at all. I don't care if someone ranked up someone 6 months ago for prestige before this update happened. I care about what happens after the update. I don't get why someone would rank down someone they leveled just for prestige anyway since they are still worth the same prestige, unless you think they just want to rank up some other useless prestige champ for the extra 200 pts.
I really like the extra points you can earn for bringing many different champs. I really hope that helps not seeing the same 8 or so champs over and over again.
Removal of thorns node is a huge hit to Antman, Cyc, Magneto as 5*
The use of Champs in aspects like War is not the same as changing the actual performance of a Champ. Who people use in War is entirely up to them. They could have used SG on Thorns if they chose. Obviously not clever, but you get my point. The integrity of the Champ is not changed. Only an aspect of War that people most commonly used them on. It's not the same. It doesn't warrant RDT's. The Champs themselves have not been altered.
I find SG is best used on a special 1 bias node. Back flipping you into oblivion is how she rolls.
Truth is, we don't know the full extent of the change in the game yet. Op makes a good and valid point but we're guessing about the new nodes. Wait until the update hits. Avoid these trolls as much as possible, because all they do is run your thread into the ground enough for a mod to close it down. Happens everyday.
The integrity may not have changed, but the utility and in-game value of some champs certainly has. Starting in September, some champs will have less utility than they do this month. While the champ may not have changed, his or her usefulness has.
I'm not sure where I stand on the issue, but you should let a mod shoot it down and not feel obliged to do it yourself. Just my opinion.
I agree with you on the basic usability of champs having changed, but we can't ask everyone who doesn't agree to butt out of the conversation either.
I believe this question (like many others in forum) is directed towards a mod as they are the only ones that can accurately say what the opinion of Kabam is on each topic. Sometimes forum members take it upon themselves to "decipher" (for lack of a better word) the stated messages of Kabam. Opinions are fine, I'm not one that flags for opposition. But I think there are too many times where opinions are stated as facts and this deters people from getting direct answers.
I'll live with it if our Kabam over Lords decide no, but even a single rdt would be appreciated. Dont need a big dump of them like last time but 1 of 2 would be excellent.
