**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

And yet you're still here flapping your gums. If you're finished with the conversation, then please just LEAVE
Some are more effective than others.
Trying to get a more diverse set of champions placed on defense will never work unless THROUGH FORCE where strong champs are punished because they're stronger. Stop forcing us who to place and who not to! They're our champs and we worked for them. Knock it off Kabam!
2. This is a game of millimeters. If champ A has a 1% advantage over champ B, EVERYONE (or anyone with a brain) will pick champ A as their defender. This isn't unfair, this isn't discrimination, it's common sense and strategy.
Players will always go where the advantage is, if you take out any advantage, you create a flat boring game involving no strategy. No one wants to play a game like that.
In fact, games where everything is "equal" don't exist! Imagine playing rock, paper, scissors, and they all beat each other. Does anybody win? No. Games HAVE TO have a value differential within it or else there's nothing to strive for.
If you value diversity in AW, you're going to destroy any sense of competition and deincentivize investment from players, monetary or otherwise.
Don't mess with human nature. Some things are just better than others.
They want us to use our other champions? Make them useful! Who is interested in wasting any resources to rank up otherwise entirely useless garbage, such as Kamala, Joe, Luke, iron parrot and similar? They have absolutely no use in the game otherwise and there hasn't been one single instance of them being handy in any game mode until they brought diversity.
It don't matter to him cos he only has 1 r5, it's not like years of build up resources go to waste for him
Click on their name so it takes you to their profile page, just to the left of the profile pic is a little yellow box with a downwards pointing arrow, click that then hit ignore. Enjoy
No body will have to use a single item to fight **** defenders, so kabam's benefit from AW is going to be much lower than it was before!
The strategy for an alliance should either be to field a strong defence to stop your opponents (and earn points for kills) or to field a diverse defence which may not earn as many kills but would give you more points for unique champions.
This is what needs to happen and would bring a bit of strategy back to the war.
As it is at the moment it's more about maths than fighting, bringing 3* champions for diversity is just as bad as placing no defence.
We need defender kills back but keep the diversity points.
Create 43 champions yourself and place them
Seriously, why are people asking these stupid questions? If you don't have 150 unique, you place 107. If you don't have 107, place 100. If you don't have 100, place 50 or whatever number you have
Both 100% came down to the few points at the end.
I'll say I'm not happy about the win, I don't feel like I faught any champ that was hard, as they could say the same for us. All fights were easy due to diversity.
I don't feel like we proved anything from winning that war. We are in tier 2 aw on average, fyi....
So win or lose the wars just aren't fun
Kabam heard that people didn't like facing the same opponents over and over again. How do they fix it? Screw over half of their player base out of half of their rank ups. But then they leave more than 3 MAGIKS IN ONE AQ MAP! Why can't we place duplicate champs, but they can? They don't have to spend time, effort, and sometime even money just to place a Magik in AQ, so it wouldn't be a problem to place someone else. We, on the other hand, have spent our time, money, and effort on rank ups, and that just gets taken away. And yeah, I get that Kabam has to make a profit, so they want to make the content in AQ as hard as possible, and they can do that by placing multiple Magiks that are hard to defeat. But then we get punished for doing that same thing, even though we actually worked for it. Remove Diversity NOW.
It's almost like it's his job to derail threads that point out Kabams screw ups. Sounds like a terrible way to make a living.
But think of the job security
Log in game and go to forums from in game and it'll fix it
First, we were forced to rank up high prestige champs for AQ. Even if said champs were garbage as per ability wise, for the sake of playing the "prestige game" in order to rank in for AQ. Then, we were forced to rank up super dope champs for the last season of AW, & max certain masteries for the sake of it as well - which are definitely NOT cheap! NC's, SM, all mystic champs, along with 5/5 MD mastery.
Now, we're being penalized for doing so, because we have to be "more diverse", & use horrendous champs for this season of AW, that came at a moments notice without fair warning to prep us with details prior of what "defender diversity" actually was or really meant. It's like, all of our endless time, hard work, dedication, & money that was invested was for nothing. Who in their right mind is going to say; "OMG! I cannot wait to rank 4 my 5* Kamala Khan for defender diversity"? Or said champs that before this, have held no such purpose what-so-ever.
YES... Kabam could have at least been courteous & issued out 4 & 5* rank down tickets for this, at least in my opinion, because now, we cannot have a duplicate champ from anyone placed on this map in order to secure a win. All champs in every single BG cannot be one of the same, or you will not win! This has nothing to do with skill, & it doesn't matter how many items you use. All nodes in Tier 1 are different now, & more than half of the champs we are being forced to place on this horrible map do not go hand-in-hand with said nodes. So, all those champs that were ranked up for last season's AW are now completely useless. All those masteries, MD 5/5, that we paid to unlock are not useless too, because we cannot place repeated champs on the map.
This was a horrible attempt at something that could have been GREAT!
And please, I say this without trying to offend anyone... If you are not over a certain rating, have multiple R5 4 stars, or more than 3 R4 5 stars, with every single unlocked mastery, or are not in Tier 1 AW or rank in for top 300 AQ, PLEASE do not pass comment on something that you are unfamiliar with!
Again, I am not trying to offend anyone on any playing level field with what I stated. Only those who are also on top can relate to this.
This was & is a total failure..................
Perfect explanation man! Now I'm hesistant to rank up any champion past rank 3 or 4, because who knows what surprise they're gonna throw after 4-5 months from now, & make the champions I would like to rank up completely useless.
Either they should issue RDTs to let us reuse our resources elsewhere n reshuffle or at the very least should provide us enough freebie upgrade materials so that we can rank up craps. Thus we don't have to waste our time n effort to upgrade trashes for the sake of diversity quickly!
