We need some form of PTR

I think this game needs to have some PTR (Public Test Realm). It's basically a parallel server where you can try out all champs - kinda like CCP beta.
There are many champions and each scales a bit diferently with higher ranks. With rare resources such as t5cc or t1a, you can't just "rankup and see". You should be able to test out the champion and decide based on that. Else you are at risk of wasting precious resources
Also, this could work as a "demo" of new champions - every new released champion would be accessible as 4* lets say for everyone to try out a bit, before deciding to eventually invest money into crystals with that champion. I imagine it really like a demo.
You have made steps in this direction already, when you gave out new champions as 2* and 3*, and imho, it was a really great idea - do you remember how people were enjoying Guardian? This champion was given to everyone as a free promo and I think worked in his favor: everyone got to try how great he is, he became widely known champion and is highly sought after ever since.
I know this will never happen, because the servers are already busy, and the devs are too, but I think it would make the conditions more "fair". Thoughts?

Also technically even duels are making Kabam lose money because people practise Champion SP1 dex there. And since this game is easily playable as f2p, I do not think revives a major source of income for Kabam, if we don't count Abyss exploration. People spend more on crystals and other resources in the offers in my opinion. Look at whales like COWhale - they spend over hundred thousand units on crystals. That would get you revives for exploring Abyss twice, and they spend this amount on a month to month basis.
(Downfall of this is ramp up champs suffer if no quest is available to get proper ramping)
But I’m sure you could add that
If I was gonna ask for something for testing, it'd be unlimited duels -- with a retry button. I don't think they put any more stress on the server than arena does.
