Summoner Appreciation Calender 2020, my predictions

Seeing as next month is July, the month of summoner appreciation I thought I’d make these predictions. Last year the 98 day special calender was recived very well by the community and rightly so, there was a lot on offer including a 5* awakening gem. Below are the items we got in 2019, the days we got them and my predictions as to what we might receive in 2020
General patterns:
Gold, mostly doubled increased because of the problems that we are currently facing in gold and the fact that in the last year more and more gold is needed.
PHCs, increased by 50%, could also be 3*s instead
3*s, increased again by 50%, it could be that these become 4* shards
4*s, like other shards increased by 50%, potentially becoming 5* shards in the new meta?
5* shards, doubled, the last calender gave a full 5* but now a year on I think 2 is more appropriate for nearly 100 days of waiting. These shards could potentially be changed to a smaller number of 6* shards.
Catalysts (class+basic), for the lower form of catalysts (T1/T2) I think these could be replaced by other rewards like more gold or even ISO. For T3s I increased the total yield as to give 25 catalysts as opposed to 5 from 2019. This seems like a lot but it means that people could have access to more 4* rank ups if they so wished. For T4B I doubled the yield, for T4CC I changed crystals into selectors. It is also possible that lower catalysts are replaced by higher catalysts and we could see a small amount (up to 20%) of T5CC crystals
6* shards, increased from 700 to 1500, could easily become 2/3k
Ascendant crystals, idk if anyone really cares about these but I doubled the amount, seems fitting, could be replaced by gold/alpha catalyst fragments
Catalysts (T1/2A) there was only 1 payment of T1A 2019 calender but I think it shoukd be increased to 5, the amount needed to R2/3 a 5*. T2A was doubled to 4, the amount needed to R4 a 5*.
Sig stones, mostly changed to higher rarities or amounts increased
Boosts, not much change, just some minor potency changes
AGs (3/4) the 3* was changed to a 4* and the 4* was potentially doubled. Although in this meta we’ve seen 2 5* AGs over 2 months so I think it could also be a potential 5* AG crystal.
5* AG crystal, this was changed into a generic or a nexus crystal, it could also be a selector. With all the current complaints about high tier rewards being too RNG based I think that kabam could change this gem into a generic or remove the RNG aspect entirely. I don’t think that would be unreasonable at all. I do however think that we WONT able seeing any form of 6* AG in this event. So far they are obtainable from AOL, Act 6 or the AOL legends runs only. Unless they suddenly become more accessible in the days leading up to that I don’t think that we’ll receive anything 6* related.
Remember this is purely speculation and not confirmed by anything or anyone at kabam. We could get exactly this calender or we might not receive a calender at all I have no idea. I do hope that kabam do another calender though, it was a great way of showing us their appreciation last year.

This year, while disappointing for some, hasn't had NEARLY the same technical difficulties.
If it's just speculation then you shouldn't be posting that. That "event" isn't something that will necessarily happen at some point
That said, the only reliable month for Summoner Appreciation events is December, though if the past is an indicator, the summer months are the best bet for Summoner Appreciation events happening outside of December, so we shall see.
I played the game for about 6-7 months in 2018 and we got no summoner appreciation calendar (or not a very good one - don't have any memory of that - surely not as good as 2019)
I didn't play in 2019 and y'all got that 98 day fairy tale
I'm playing in 2020 sooooo...
I'm the villain
On that note, the layout of the Calendar predictions was wonderfully presented @TP33 . Whether it comes to pass or not is remained to be seen, but I appreciate the work you put into that one! If it does in fact come to pass, I would love to see how close you were. So thanks for posting this! It's quite optimistic and perhaps won't be as much as you've suggested. However, it would be quite impressive if it's more than you've laid out. I guess only time will tell eh? Keep hope alive!
Hope they do modify rewqrds fro! Store and quest difficulty soon before another wave of boycott kicks in !!
