Its not based on opinion , its based on fact. Entire concept of war (previous setup) is to make it difficult for opponent team to explore or kill the boss. And placing IM SIM KK IPs is not going to help with that objective. And defensive kills is the only thing that kept AW balanced btw skill vs spending. Taking down NC spidey Mordo require skill none are unbeatable champs. I have seen ppl solo NC n spidey on boss nodes even with link on. I will be happy to be proved wrong but I have never seen anyone complain about mystic champs without MD. MD itself is also not the main issue, prob is with how dexterity mastery interacting with MD.
I am not talking about my Ally. We do fine where we are. I'm talking about the system. There is very little growth in certain areas because you have the same Allies who keep others stifled, through various things like Shells and arrangements to avoid fighting each other. The end result is overpowered Matches that stop people from advancing. I'm sorry you disagree and believe it's a lack of skill, but problems exist in the system either way.
My alliance is 9mil rated. We regularly beat 12 mil alliances. Your arguement is wrong. It's that simple
There is more than just your Ally in the entire War System.
Wrong.
Overpowered matches keep popping up coz of your increase in war rating. Tiers are divided based on you war rating. We used to be in tier 4-6 when we are 6mil ally a month ago. We are now 8.5 mil ally with war rating around ~1800. We oscillate btw teir2-3. What I am saying is you cant expect to be in top tier if your ally is not progressing in terms of skill and roster. The monopoly you are talking about is with may be 10 top most allys and 90% of the MCOC community dont even have to be concerned coz they are light years ahead
You're free to disagree.
In a Tiered System, everything is affected.
Encourage the use of weaker champs? Why? There's a reason you're calling it "Magik Wars" instead of Kamala Khan Wars, cause Kamala Khan sucks as a defender.
Like everyone else who worked hard to be able to get those Hyperions, players with weaker rosters will also have to suck it up and build their rosters too, and also be in an alliance that is the right match for them.
It's called WAR, not happy-fun-time-everyone-gets-a-trophy-gathering. Players have worked night and day to grind get and rank up the strongest champs. Those with weaker roster are in weaker alliances for a reason. There's a hierarchy man, and it's something you don't seem to get.
Not it's not! It's call war. May the best team win. The one's with the best attackers and defenders and skill and strategy should win it. Otherwise it's not a contest anymore. Everyone ALREADY has an equal opportunity to win. Anyone who works hard on this game can grow a strong roster. You seem to want equal outcome, which doesn't work in real life man.
Yes, if there is a cap to each tier then this will have effect on everything like you said. I can be wrong, but as far as i know any ally can be in top tiers if they have good enough war rating.
THIS! Spot on in my opinion!
And when those alliances with poor rosters do face off against stronger alliances they get knocked down to the tier they belong in until they build up their rosters to move back up. Seems some still believe they should be in tier 1-3 gaining the same rewards as the top alliances or simply think there should be a way to win all wars. You get what you put in
Player A places 0 defenders, gets 0 points per attacker kill
Player B places 1 defender, gets 30 points per attacker kill
Player C places 5 defenders, gets 150 points per attacker kill.
Problem of using less defenders to win is solved.
The losing alliance has two choices. Cry that they lost to a better alliance or work hard. There's no in between.
There's a reality to this game. Whoever is the "better alliance" generally wins. There's no "luck". There's a hierarchy.
If you win a bunch of wars and start climbing the tiers and suddenly you lose a bunch in a row and can't get past a certain tier, it's because your team just isn't strong enough to advance past that until you get better. You can't force some kind of equality in this game because there is no equality. Some teams are better skilled and have better rosters than others. Now what are you trying to say, that we should de-incentivize growth because it makes weaker players feel bad? What's the point of this game then?
Don't change the system to entice us to place terrible champions
FIX. YOUR. TERRIBLE. CHAMPIONS.
Then we will use them....
A buffed node isn't gonna make me place soidergwen. See act5 spidergwen. Unblockable sp1
Thank you for all your feedback on the first week of Alliance Wars. We've written an update on what you can expect when you start Matchmaking again tomorrow here: http://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/comment/127553/#Comment_127553
This is horrible jeez wow. Just put war back. Why in the world would you guys mess up war so badly. Most people enjoyed war so much and you guys are doing your best to ruin it
Well, I'm not surprised that your company chooses to persist with the defender diversity points... Indeed, doubling down on them. You have fixed the most visible problem - that alliances can win without placing a defence. However, you have ignored the far more serious problem that war isn't fun anymore, nor is it truly a "war" without defender kills.
This is a really bad "fix". Might as well rename it "diversity wars".
Now that Aw is completely changed and all the defenders we ranked are now useless, when should we expect RDTs?
that's making War even MORE boring/less skillful
why is Kabam destroying what used to be the most fun part of MCoC?
You guys still haven't addressed major issues. Get back defender kills, remove diversity nonsense, and make better node buffs, map is too easy right now. With attacker points reduced and every ally can explore 100% wars will be decided by diverse (useless) champs.
So, if defender kills isn't a thing, there's no move left for smaller alliances to battle an alliance that's 2 or 3mi higher than them? just battle and be defeated on defender rating anyways?
What a terrible "solution" you are proposing, this does not help wars getting more fair nor competitive.
I agree with keeping defender kills out. People saying AW is ruined bc they are no longer part of the scoring system are missing the point. Having 10 magiks, Mordos and juggs with jacked MD and throw in another 10 NC or spideys and hey, why not add their 5s versions!? Diversity is what is making it at least most fun and actually using your roster.... however, diversity should be kept per BG. Spreading it open to the whole alliance is just dumb. What does a mordo placed in one BG have anything to do with another placed in another BG. Nothing.
