Here are my thoughts on why this event is poorly designed :
The summer showdown is a competition where you have to do your best to qualified.
You don’t have to beat the surfer (but it’s better), just do your best and eventually be the the best in your region to be qualified for the rest of the competition.
You expect no rewards and have only one try at a time.
It can be fun and a good training for people who wish to test their skill.
There is challenge and even if the fight gets frustrating, at least you can compare your skill against others, notably other known youtubers ... why not
For those who cannot participate in the showdown, we have the showup which is the exact replica of the showdown with one exception : you MUST beat the surfer to get rewards and move to the next week.
And to beat it we have... 4 stars only. The kind of champion uncollected and cavalier summoner stopped ranking up because act 6 forbade us to use and the ressources to rank them up are better used for our 5 stars.
But ok why not... if you happen to have a duped medusa ou Colossus you might have a chance to beat the surfer, just to win 3000 5-stars shards 😑
So player have to spend time, even ressources in order to rank up some decent 4 stars, maybe use revive, get a bit frustrated trying a few fight for 3000 5-stars shards ?
The variant 5 was challenging, fun and gave nice rewards, the new boss rush are fun too (by the way there is one tomorrow that will give us better rewards), the heralds of galactus quests are challenging and rewarding but this showup of your is all but fun, challenging and rewarding !
You completely miss the mark on this event
Because of the nodes, you are limited to a few 4 stars champions so bye-bye Quake, Doom, symbiote supreme and every other champion not coldsnap immune or cannot armor break their opponent.
Better have one of those already at rank 5 or you will have to spend those nice ressources in hope to get 3000 5-stars shards 😅
I don’t even talk about the week 2 where you will probably have to use, and maybe rank up, another specific 4 stars to get some juicy 3000 5-stars shards... wow amazing 😂
This reminds me of The Maze, good content but I didn’t touch it as the rewards came nowhere close to being worth it.
To put it in context, the summer smackdown gives 6k 5* shards and 500 6* shards is several orders of magnitude easier.
It is disappointing, but I have the option to not do it. It makes me question rewards moving forward.
In the end, with the weak rewards Kabam has offered, and that insane difficulty, it just isn't worth it.
If you like the fight, then play it and get the 3k shards. I soloed with a R4 Colossus.
Got to half health with Medusa.
If you don’t like the fight, don’t do it.
If you think the rewards are very low (which I kinda agree), don’t do it.
It’s not a Variant or a new Act. It’s just 1 fight. Just don’t do it. You’re not really missing out on anything.
Personally, it was a fun fight for me. Took me A LOT of tries. But it’s completely free. Just went in again and again and again until I got it.
I said the strategy Miike suggested works. You can Heavy Medusa with the Synergy because I tested it. I said Pyramid X is another option because of Ice Tempest. I said Curler was right because Colossus was a good option with the OR/Jugs Synergy. Those are all things I tested myself.
I haven't commented on much else. It's one Fight per Chapter. Is it hard? Sure. It's supposed to be. It's a taste of the Tourney.
You won’t be missing out on good rewards, a title, a trophy champ, anything. It’s not this month’s side event, it’s not even a boss rush (which is a very small piece of content).
I never expected it to be as hard as it was either. And yeah. Maybe they should have toned it down. But I considered the fight a great challenge for myself and kept trying. It literally took me way more than 20 times to find the right synergy team to be able to solo with a R4 and I wouldn’t have ever, EVER, R5 Colossus for the fight. So if I couldn’t do it with the R4 I just wouldn’t have done it period.
It would’ve made me sad that I couldn’t complete it but not as angry as some others are here.
But really, this time, is just a little gift for some who want and like the grind to solo a boss.
It’s definitely not worth any revives or rank up resources.
If this seems fun do it, if not, don’t. You won’t miss out on anything of importance.
LOL is easier than this because you can take 5* and 6* champs. Doing this is like doing LOL with 4* champs. Not worth the time and effort.
The way Kabam advertised this built up hype but destroyed it for most of the summoners out there.
My forum experience is about to become 1000x more enjoyable. Thank you sir! 🍻
For 3 weeks, Kabam built up a crazy amount of hype for a tournament that was going to be all INCLUSIVE, a place where ALL summoners could test their skills. Welp, the day finally came for the PARTICIPATION lvl, Kabam's greeting? Staring at a white box for an hour, then making most of us mindlessly spend resources to try and defeat SS. Most summoners either went in and couldn't do it, or just didn't do it at all. The ones who did end up making it had an extreme challenge as well, and for what...3k 5* shards and some gold!
Kabam made a mistake, a large mistake, but that doesn't mean it can't improve in the future.
@Kabam Miike this is a great game, keep it that way pls.
My consolation is that i can get gold and 5shards in several ways in this game. Now if the rewards were T5cc and T5 basic I might be crying on the inside.
