This is an indirect nerf to those champions usefulness. To suggest alliances who have multiple ranked r4 5* juggs should suffer is petty. No one is ranking juggs or antman up aside for use in AW. That's a huge investment that's now gone to waste. We are now forced in higher tiers to place non-traditional defenders such as falcon, bw or gamora to gain diversity points. These points can cost a war. We don't need many rdt. Even some champion specifics would be fine for champs like juggs, antman, cwbp, etc. If kabam ever discovers the definition of being generous they could offer us 2 generic 5* rank downs and 2 generic 4* rank downs. Make the choices be made carefully this way. Not that Kascam cares. They're to busy cooking up $100 basic 5* deals cause 5* are more available now ya know. Waiting for the usual apologists to attack this. Just know I'm going to be laughing at whatever **** excuse for the kabastards you post.

Why don't you care about how many players get screwed if they allow RDT? SO many people don't rank up champs to 4/55 who are useful for 1 node in AW, and thus suffer from lower prestige and thus lower AQ rewards then players with those 4/55 champs. The selfishness is sad really more then anything.

Now they have done something to literally diversify the champs you need to bring to earn more points and everyone is mad. You ranked who you wanted now own it. Either keep using the the same OP champs that work just fine defending, or choose to rank new ones. There's no need for tickets. Thats the problem, they don't work fine and create no diversity. And there isn't the available resources currently in the game to make up for whats lost, like t2a. Nodes changed, difficulty was dropped and the champs get walked over. Everyone is hitting 100% completion and now the final score is decided on diversity. Guess this ultimately depends on what tiers you typically compete in. Im sure in the lower tiers average players are liking the easy mode and ok since they aren't operating above a r4 4* champ to know the struggle of the resources lost.

We're not talking about nerfs to Champs. That's the whole point. We're talking about changes to War. The whole point of Diversity is using a variety of Champs. That's contradictory to the idea of Tickets because the Champs are still the same, and the point is to Rank others. Not take what you put in some and put it in others.

My point is simple, with nerfs kabam did stuff to make some people wish they never ranked up a champ, then they granted that wish. Now they've made some other people wish they never ranked up champs again. So it's only logical to want more rdts.

That is not the case here. They changed the Champs themselves with 12.0 and 12.0.1. They didn't change the Champs with 15.0. They changed War. Big difference. The Tickets are not for changes to content.

The Tickets are not for changes to content. You can say the same thing over and over again if you like but if what the guy on the first page said about you being in a 400 war ratin alliance is true nobody is going to take your opinion with any seriousness. You may not be aware but T4cc (or T4b in the really big alliances cases) and T2a are actually quite rare and valuable and to now have champs that were only good for defence just sat around with those valuable resources put into them is a waste. An example, Would anyone use a spidey on attack? Probably not because the only time he would evade is probably when you try to parry, so he sits collecting dust because somebody else in your alliance has a better spidey so you're not allowed to place yours to stand a chance at winning.

The changes never caused the Champs they Ranked to perform any differently. In the current meta, you're wrong: part of the function of champs is that they can be used for defense, and their value as defensive champs (i.e. how they perform!) has changed. But ... amusingly, if they follow through on their plans to make diversity global and not penalize duplicate champs (that's not the next war, but whenever they make diversity global so you can only get 106 diversity points, rather than being able to get 150) -- at that point, the change will be pretty minor. There won't be any penalty for having 6 Magiks on the end platform, and we'll see that return ... along with trash placed across the 3 BGs for diversity. The idea of it is quite depressing, but it'll bring back almost all of the function/performance of the defensive champs I ranked up. (I'll probably have to mix in some unique champs so we can get those points, but there won't be any penalty for 5 of us placing r5 Magiks with MD5.) OTOH, it'd be a pretty horrible design. I'd rather they keep the change in performance w/o rank-down tickets but make AW actually interesting. (I say that having ranked up ~3 primarily defensive champs to 4*r5/5*r3 (bpcw, uc, mordo). I'd take the loss in resources for an interesting game mode.)

Just what you used them for. You claimed their performance hadn't changed ("The changes never caused Champs they Ranked to perform any differently"). That statement is false; the amount they contribute in AWD changed meaningfully. AW is one of the modes Kabam has put substantial effort into, so saying that it only affects AW as a whole and thus doesn't represent a meaningful change is not a defensible argument. You can play semantics and update your statement to something that's narrowly true but beside the point; have at it; I don't particularly care. I also don't particularly care about rank-down tickets; but I do like calling out obviously flawed arguments.

They are still great defenders that hold up well. Like I said, everyone wanted to abuse the broken system that was let's place a bunch of Magiks, Juggernaut, and Mordos. There are enough champs that u can still place several of each of these and still place enough champs to get a good diversity score. The game will never be perfect but this is actually a good change for once. If anything kabam actually made it more interesting cause now u have to decide do I want a super strong defense with a bunch of the same champs or go for diversity points.
