Act 6 100% done! But...

Alright, so the journey is over! After countless rank-ups, lots of energy and potions, act 6 100% is in the books. When the thronebreaker title came out, I was first taken aback by the 6* rank 3, as it seemed unnecessary to me. And honestly I’m still not too happy with it, and I definitely still believe that the title should have been locked behind deeper story content, but apparently book 2 act 1 isn’t a roster check anymore, or at least that’s what I’ve heard. Anyway, I’ve come to accept the requirement and the logic behind it.
Alright I’ll get back to that in a bit but for now I want to talk about my experience with act 6: I’ve done most of it pre-nerf, half of 6.4, the entirety of 6.1-2 besides the champion quest, and just initial completion of 6.3. After the thronebreaker announcement, I knew it was time to get back into the grind and finish up act 6. So I did it, pretty easily, with ghost, quake Claire and black widow deadly origin (for thunderstruck. I’m a suicides user btw) as my most valuable champs. I’m mostly fine with the difficulty, but I think that thunderstruck should be reduced to a 50% damage reduction, as should any other of those “fit this requirement or take (%) reduced damage” nodes in my opinion.
So, let’s get to the rewards! Well, they were pretty terrible. 6* Vision aarkus from my nexus (decent but I’ve got him 5* and he’s not suicide friendly), a science AG which I’ll save for torch, 6* electro from a basic and my t5cc... skill. My most dreaded class. I’ve got exactly zero 6* skill champions. So needless to say, I was upset. Looks like I’ll be stuck with just “breaker of thrones” for a bit.
Now let’s quickly talk about the 2 other additions to story mode since the beginning of the game: act’s 4 and 5. Regardless of your luck with champions, you were guaranteed two things at least: a generic awakening gem, and the ability to take your champion to the next level (rank 4 and 5). Now as for the generic awakening gem, I don’t think that was necessary for act 6, but I think having the class catalyst random, especially with the new title is just wrong, as I believe anyone capable of a run through the abyss (preparing!), or act 6 100% is worthy of a progression title that unlocks you better rewards than the ones you gained access to as early as March of 2019. And while I understand that the game is built on RNG, I think that a t5cc selector for act 6 100%, one for abyss completion and 1 or 2 (replacing the crystal of course) for abyss 100% with basically all other sources being completely RNG is more than fine.
Now to all that have read this far and agree or disagree with me, I’d like to end with one last point: I’ve just explored the entirety of act 6, I’ve put months of grinding and effort into it. I should feel pretty accomplished right? So why do I feel like a piece of garbage?

Sadly that's a common theme that I've seen across act 6 and abyss explorers.
Disappointment in the rewards when completing the hardest contest is a tough pill to swallow. 6* shards and t5cc fragments are much more available now so hopefully you'll get some luck in the coming months.
But to me the way the abyss and act 6 rewards are currently structured can either be a major leap in player progression, or a major halt as one more big area for t5cc is now gone.
Just like an estimate like would u say 1-2k 3-4K 5-6k so on and so on
I’d say within the 2.5-3k unit range, but this is an incredibly rough estimate, could be way more or way less. I don’t think any path besides rage killmonger took more than 3 revives, most taking 0-1.
Yes that happens to some of us. Only I did first path Abyss just before I 100% Act 6
