No. Deal with it. Tier2 alphas are coming.

I would agree selling a sparse amount of rank downs here and there would allow us constantly freshen up our roster. Selling them seems like a reasonable player/company compromise.

Out of curiosity why is anyone against the idea? Genuinely trying to figure out the negatives in this.

Assuming this is a serious question and not trolling, here's the answer: You rank up a 5* antman 4 months ago while i don't rank up a 5 star. You have 4 months of higher prestige then I do and thus better AQ rewards and a better defender which gets you better AW rewards. I didn't rank up 5 star trash because i'm trying to be smart about my limited resources. Now if you get a rank down ticket, you got the benefit of having that advantage all that time without having to sacrifice the resources.

The sacrifice comes in him buying the rank down. You don't have to buy a rank down while he did. Or you can buy one too and save it for a rainy day. Or don't worry so much about what someone else has and play with your own toys.

If they make the cost something like 10k units for 1 ticket, i would be against it but wouldn't COMPLETELY hate it, but if the cost is some joke like 2k units i would be super pissed

The problem is twofold. First off, the game is built on working for, or buying, Resources. When you consider the amount of time, money, and effort that goes into getting things like T4Bs and T4CCs, given the In-Game Value, they would actually lose money by offering a quick deal on them. We're talking real money.
Secondly, the game is not designed to allow swapping of Rosters. It's designed for progression through Ranking. Everything Ranked adds to the whole. There is really no such thing as wasted Resources when we Rank a Champ. That opinion is preference-based. That's where making decisions comes in.

I appreciate the answer, I was wondering why too. However, and in the future, if rank down tickets were available, you might also rank up a champion, get the benefit and rank him down later. If it were at a reasonable cost- maybe 200 to 500 units, it would make the game more enjoyable for a lot of people. Imho.

It defeats the entire purpose of strategy in terms of who you rank up, and would completely ruin the game. Like i said, if it's something like 10k units for 1 ticket (for the really really dumb people who ranked up someone totally worthless) then i could live with it but at 500 units the game becomes pointless and dies.

The main reason I support rdt is because kabam keeps changing the landscape of the game and yet our decisions are permanent. A limited sprinkling of rdt would keep everyone's roster fresh and would allow "balances" to regularly occur and not leave the affected players feeling like the sky is falling.
