The end of 5/65 champs? How close are we.

Just wanted to get a pulse on the community. How far are we away from 5/65 champs becoming just another champ in our roster and becoming the bare minimum.
I say this because kabam just updated glory store.

Well for the 1% blubbery (if that’s how you write it) whale that may be close to a R3 6* champ, a 5/65 5* champ might not be so special anymore.
But for another portion of the playerbase, I would guess 80-90%, getting their 1st 5* to max rank is still miles away for them.
5/65 are just starting to become feasible for a lot of us. It takes three months to get enough T2 alpha to rank one 5* to R5. If we are close to the end of 5* life there will be a huge number of players leave the game.
the rate of 5tcc is SLOW even when ur at the top,
Aq doesnt even have T5cc yet,
and u get 1 t5cc if u place in platinum season or better, thats only 900 shards
Also remember kabam will be relasing overpriced $ for people who want to get T5cc.
they arent just gona give u t5cc, around 8 months ago kabam accidentlz release t5cc ina bundle and it gave away to much...and someone actually formed 1 t5cc but kabam changed the crystals back to 900.
it was like 11,250 per crystal, then changed to 900 each, and that... was around march
and the 6.3 completion offer?
that 15,000 units for 25% of a t5cc RANDOM Class.
yea t5cc isnt gona be overflowing anytime soon.
But if by "just another champ" you mean they aren't even particularly interesting, that only happens when everyone can supercede them with rank 3s. And that's not going to happen for an extremely long time. Even with the gradual increase in reward earning rates that's something I don't think will be possible even for the highest progression players for at least two years, and for everyone else for at least three.
That's because it is unlikely anyone can even make one R3 yet, not even the highest progression players. And I cannot foresee them being able to make more than one or two (maybe if they are really lucky a few more) in a year. But that will accelerate over the following year for two reasons. First, one of the things holding top tier players back is their T5CC is getting spread out across six classes. As they continue to acquire those, by the time they can make one they will also be much closer to getting the next two or three. And of course, as Act 6 reaches its conclusion there will almost certainly be more opportunities to get more T5CC, not just in Act 6 but probably other top tier content as well. So two years is a reasonable estimate for the top tier players to have many rank 3s. Maybe even enough to start benching their best 5/65s.
But for everyone else? They will have to wait for even more reward inflation to boost their ability to get those (not to mention good enough 6* champs to rank up). So tack on a year past that point at least.
But for majority , I do hope it stays competitive and fun!
I play in a gold 1 alliance playing map 6/5, dropped out of the rat race last year havn't regretted it one bit.
if you arent interested in being at the top 5/65s will still have a year or 2 of solid value while you wait for those god tier 6*s.
I love how we assume the game will be around that long.
Four more years! Four more years!
But until then please keep spending time and money to secure that future!
Think of the children. Or at least the F2P just getting started....good “luck” with that.
(Which everyone in this game by now knows and can agree — there’s no such thing as “luck”...right?
...it’s all just ”randomly” designed gamification to keep you spending more and more time and/or money...)
It’s going to be a very long time before r5 5* hit the bench IMO.
I’ve been focusing exclusively on talking 6*s to r2. I’d like to have one of each class (currently have 3) so that once I fully form a t5 class cat I can upgrade at will.
I only rank 5/65s with variant gems and if they have a utility that will be useful later when they are no longer seen as powerful (think void, quake, vision, etc)
And yeah, getting a worthy 6/2 candidate can be a long process. For every good 6* I own, I have five trash ones.
That’s just how I see the game going, but I tend to play towards to the future.
