I just dropped a 4* Mordo... normally a drop to celebrate about.. but guess what he's a man of color but ironically is not diverse enough...
About 6 or 7 of my team mates have him already and I am sure they will be deployed in AW today already, so I have no reason to level or rank a normally awesome defender. He's going to just be a r1 L1 sandbag now.
This is a precise illustration of why defender diversity kills fun and excitement in the game. While well intended, you have created consequences that take enjoyment of your game away.

Now all the good defenders are all already owned so when you get a good defender as drop it is a letdown instead of a celebration. Thats my point.
Use him for story questing. Took my Mordo to face Kamg. Manage to kill him with less than 6 revives.
I understand that it sucks to have to fight 6 Magiks in a row, but diversity isn't the way to fix that. I don't think that diversity is a bad idea per se, but it shouldn't be worth what it is and certainly not at the expense of defender kill points. I feel like this is gonna come back to bite them.
Does anyone know the meaning of War.
It should be hard, it should be a struggle, everyone hated having a bad war, so you stressed over it.
It made it fun.
Well maybe I have a different mindset. I was never and never will be excited about defensive champs. That's super boring. You don't even use them. You just let them sit. The best feelings I ever got were pulling Thor and duping him so I could just wreck everything in my path. I look forward to the offensive champs that I actually utilize and play and have fun with. It's hard for me to see the enjoyment of pulling a defensive champ you'll never really "use". Sorry I came off like a jerk.
Before the update, I was no where near boss-killer. With the new config, I just walked through 2 R5 Magiks.
Everyone is getting 90%+ completion now. Honestly, at this point it's just an easy stack of crystals/shards, and because of the diversity + weakened nodes, you don't even have to tie-up your good champs anymore.
War was fun. Defenders were fun. Making ppl throw their phone (in my imagination) was great fun. Watching someone revive over and over was great fun. Watching them come around the corner to the path of death leading up to the left mini was awesome. The anticipation of seeing if they had help coming or if their health would carry them thru was awesome as well. Watching them send extra attackers to that path and missing out on crucial exploration was awesome. Gaining a respect for the opponent's attack prowess or creativity in placement was great. Figuring out surprise nodes for certain champs was a fun challenge.
Now it's long and boring chutes and ladders. And I know everyone is at different places as far as progress goes in the game... But I have no desire to chase champs or collect at this point. I have what I need. Real war was the only thing pushing me to "stay ahead of the curve" and improve my roster. No reason to now. Just toss in the trash champs that get you those idiotic diversity points, carry a decent attack team, farm those shards. Because war isn't about overcoming challenges anymore... Its about moving thru a billion nodes, not forgetting to join attack asap since it costs so much nrg, trying not to fall asleep during easy fights, not tapping accidentally when checking those dumb portals, and being happy that it's finally over each time.
I get that. I won't argue that pulling an offensive champ you'll actually use isn't by far the more exciting of the two. I still think it gave purpose to other champs though and I do enjoy seeing defender kills. It made pulling them not feel like a total waste. They had a use. Now it's like, "Well ****. I can't use that for offense. Next."
I personally loved getting my 4* magik to r5 and sig 99 with max md and then watching people die to her on defense. I was pumped when I got Mordo and then dormamu to add to my defense. Finally, three weeks ago I pulled juggernaut for the first time and was thinking about awakening him for defense too. I also really enjoyed setting up defenses and watching our defense shut down alliances 2 to 3 million higher PI than us as we ran through their defense.
War has basically eliminated that entire fun aspect of the game. Now those same opposing alliances will be guaranteed wins if they can manage to make sure no champs are doubled.
Why didn't I think of this lol agree with the rest of post too
