So when rank down tickets were introduced, it was during a period of turmoil and frankly, that was a bad ass month. Dominating advancement events and reorganizing your roster was a good time.
I 100% expected that rank down tickets would be encorporated into purchase offers...granted ill bad mouth kabam a lil bit when they catch on to this, however I'm suggesting a happy medium for both the players and kabam. When offers start introducing a rank down ticket or two I think both parties will be happy, why hasn't this happened?
Love to hear some thoughts on this one way or the other

All of them, begging for RDT with bunch of reason while the true motive is they just pull gwenpool and want to rank her up by rank down BW
Rank down tickets are basically a do over.... you made the decision to rank said champ at the time and now that you’re regretting that decision you expect some sort of “oh ****” button... not gonna happen man... grind or buy your way to some new rank up materials cause thats the only way things work in this game.
Sorry the mods keep taking them down because people continue to make these posts after it’s been stated several times that rank down tickets won’t be a thing
Then there's the financial aspect. The In-Game Value of the Resources far outweighs any cost you could charge for Tickets. Consider the value of the Cats and the revenue generated from working towards getting them. The entire game is built on working towards, or buying, Resources. It's actually quite high. In the thousands, is my estimate. Offering Tickets for sale would counteract that entire process.
There's also a decision-making component. Using our Resources as we choose is a part of the overall game strategy. The other part is living with those choices and making different decisions when we Ranked next. It all goes into the overall progression. Nothing is really wasted. The way we advance is cumulative. The more we Rank, the more we grow. Unfortunately, as some have focused on the Prestige Race for so long as I mentioned, the process became confused, for some. The game is actually geared towards us Ranking as much as we can, but people are also free to play however they like.
Basically, they weren't designed for mainstream consumption because they contradict pretty much everything about the game. They were only designed because of major changes to Champs.
This is exactly what we thought it was even though you said it wasnt, and has been suggested and discussed many many many times just in the last few weeks already!!
(Can't edit. The joys of being meticulous. Lol)
But when the meta of the game is tampered without any prior notice, then those should be issued to players to replan.
Like , if they gave a heads up warning about def diversity & brought that in practice after 5-6months, people would've enough time to replan.
But now it is all on a sudden & they should aid us with RDTs.
If one person thinks RDTs should be available and another person thinks they shouldn't, why do you think being sometimes available is a "happy" compromise?
Metrics that are stable? no.
A champ having an ability is only useful FOR something. Everyone wants SL for his damage output so that they can beat......whatever. Everyone wants Magik for her Limbo and nullify FOR certain content. The list goes on. It is part of player strategy. This whole freakin game is all about collecting and ranking champs actually.
Changing the dynamics of any parts of the game makes a HUGE difference in the usefulness of champs abilities.
That is the argument that dominates the threads on RDT's
Players need to realize the truth about this game. The metrics are NOT stable AT ALL so rank accordingly.
Everyone knows that a nerf CAN likely happen to any champs and that current "useful ability" champs that were ranked up and sought after can easily be made less useful at the next game update.
People also seem to miss that this "feels" like a bait and switch to MOST people playing the game. It would be like buying peanuts at a baseball game and then the stadium who sold them to you said they don't allow peanuts to be eaten in the stadium any more. Sure you can wait and take them elsewhere to eat but you bought them for eating at the stadium or you would not have bought them at all. The stadium knew that and mislead you anyways.
People feel tricked and they don't like it.
However, diversity sucks and I wish they implemented it in a different way, like there was a cap of max points you could earn for diversity. That way you could put in maybe 10 unique champs per BG and get the max number of diversity points, while still beefing up the rest of the defense.
Actually that's true. I shouldn't have said "MOST people playing the game" but instead "MOST people who post in favor of RDT's"! That's what I was thinking but didn't make clear. Thanks
This also may be more hurtful/detrimental to those players that these resources do not come as often. A 80k-150k player may be irate at certain changes because it means a long time or a lot of money to just "negate some of the champs" that you say so casually. Whereas a 200k+ player is more like "oh well I guess I'll have to rank other champs over the next month or two" as the t4cc's and t4bc's are rolling in!
I do understand the anger and I do understand the want. I would love to have those t4cc back. but considering the big picture and the work I've put in to compete with the player base I am a part of, I worry what effect it would have on prestige and other parts of the game. The required prestige for cutoffs go up. The required prestige to join these alliances goes up. That's all I meant was collateral damage from RDT. I wish they found a way to make these defenders still relevant rather than give us a way to reverse it
Like I said before, maybe a limit on the diversity points. So instead of an overhaul of 5 defenders for everyone, maybe its required each person needs to work for 2 unique replacements.
Once Diversity is for the entire alliance, there will be an allowance of 40-ish champs that can be repeated. That's only 1 repeat champ per person. Id like to see it capped at maybe 50 unique champs give you the total diversity bonus, giving 100 possible duplicates, this would allow people to have 3-4 of their old defenders and have 1-2 "unique" per person.
People Rank who they want for what they want. The idea that Champs are useless outside of War is part of the very problem that led to Diversity. The Tickets are also the exact opposite of what they want to introduce with Diversity. The Champs still behave the same way they did before. Whether people Ranked for War or not, they still work the same.
The metrics I'm referring to are Rating/Prestige.

People Rank who they want for what they want. The Champs function the same as they did before. Even if people Ranked for War alone, the Champ still behaves the same. The whole idea that a Champ is useless outside of War and that Ranking outside of that is useless, is a part of the whole problem.
