Is Anything Going to be Done About Odin's Prefight?

In my opinion, I think that Odin's prefight needs to be changed so that you can't stack the buffs if you have multiple Odins. This seems like small potatoes, but with the upcoming Legends run, people who were either lucky enough or wealthy enough to get a six star Odin and five star Odin from his featured cavs are going to huge advantage with Ghost (a 45% attack advantage, to be precise). I know this is gonna come off as complaining, but I think it'd genuinely be an unfair advantage since there is no way to get a six star Odin before the deadline for the 7.2 Legends run without spending (unless you're sitting on a fat stack of units like BG) since he won't be in the upcoming featured six star crystal and there is no six star arena yet. If there were a realistic free-to-play way to get a six star Odin, I wouldn't be making this post because if he was available to get in an arena, everyone could have a feasible chance to get him, but since he's only going to be available in Cavs, he's going to be unattainable for most players.
So, I think that Odin's prefight shouldn't be able to stack with multiple Odins.

Now we have a champ that (potentially) can have a large effect on legend runs and spenders have a massive advantage in getting him. Curious how many of those people now think the prefights should be changed as well bc they won't have that champ.
Also, I think that this was an oversight in creating Odin's prefight. I don't think that they considered how being able to stack prefights would massively boost up Ghost's attack. The only comparable prefight/interaction that I can think of is Ant-Man's interaction with Mister Fantastic's prefight, but even then, you have to work hard to keep up the debuffs to get the big damage whereas with Ghost/Odins, it's a permanent 90% attack boost.
My only real issue with this interaction is the timing of Odin's release and his limited availability as a six star. If he were in the upcoming featured or if the 7.2 release wasn't until September, I would feel differently.
Either this interaction is gonna be changed or won't and I will be fine with it either way. I'm going for the Legends run regardless. I just want to know if it will be changed. If it's not changed and I miss out on the 7.2 Legends title because I only have a 5 star Odin, then that's alright with me. By the time the 7.3 Legends run comes around, I will have both a five star and six star Odin, so I can shoot for that one or the 7.4 Legends. I really want that Weapon X
I personally don't care. I don't see an issue with the beta testers and I don't see an issue here. I'm more than likely not going for a run regardless bc I just don't care enough to do so.
I don't think the current state of the prefight is that big of an issue though. It's no different to people that had Ghost and Corvus having a massive advantage in these before. Also don't think it's large enough to warrant changing considering that it's only going to be able to maximized on select paths.
I'm legitimately curious to see how many people all of a sudden think it is a problem now bc they think they're in a place to compete when they weren't before. Those same people won't see them having access to champs like Ghost or Corvus as being a problem while others don't as being a problem I'd assume though.
Whether it's by luck or spending, someone is going to have an advantage in a game like this for something like a legend run. It's interesting to see where people draw the line with what's an acceptable advantage to me.
And, yeah, that's fair. I think the line should be drawn where the option for free-to-play players to compete is essentially eliminated by not having free-to-play access to a new six star champion. Having a six star featured arena would solve this one specific problem (though it would create more problems than it would solve and shouldn't be done) since technically speaking, anyone could grind the arena out.
"And if you're upset about the extra attack throw on some boosts."
Now I really know you don't what you're talking about cause anyone that's going for an Act 7 Legends run is boosted to the max 24/7.
Even if I did have a six star Odin, I would probably still be making this thread since I take the fairness of Legends run pretty seriously. I can't say for sure that I would, but I'm pretty sure I would.
The other thing that I'm thinking about is that the amount of people who would be whaling out for a six star Odin for a Legends run and who successfully get him will probably be less than the total amount of Legends title available. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see.
You're only looking at it from this legend run as well. So was people having corvus/ghost before those featured inclusions fair for all the legend runs in that time? Or were you just not going for them so it didn't matter?
Now there's a champ you won't have a chance to get when you actually want to go for a run, and it's unfair?
Ghost is used 60-70% in every legend run and for her to benefit from Odin, antman is needed. So team is ghost antman wasp odin. That leaves just 1 spot. And most ghost paths have 1 opponent you cant ghost, so a special counter is needed. And half the time, ghost isnt best option for boss. So need another counter, have to drop one more. At that point odin becomes useless. Either he's of the team, or antman is.
1 Odin on the team will add some value here and there and anyone can try and get the 5*. If you're thinking legend run, you should have the roster to grind for him.
But in the end, you can have all the Odins you want, without a r3 Ghost you probably wont get it
I think that ftp players have a better chance of getting the champ from the arena than the crystals.
And yeah, that's fair. I only recently started caring about Legends runs, so I didn't think to take past ones in consideration. I definitely should have taken that into account though and I will in the future.
Yes, I do think it's unfair, but I'm okay with it now. If I don't get it this time, there's always next time.
I do have a 6r3 sig140 Ghost.
Ultimately, Odin will come to the 6* featured. And there will always be more legends runs. You gotta play the long game.
