Who *is* this content aimed at? Uncollected? Cavalier players? Either of those groups, if they've already completed the previous 7 variants, would ALSO think these rewards were outdated. Up the difficulty if you have to, but a person who is now looking to complete Variant 8 has next to ZERO uses for most of those rewards, in particular the 5* shards and low-end rank up gems. Those 2017 rank up gems are particularly inexcusable for anyone who has completed the prior Variants. Please Kabam, just outline who your "ideal target audience" is for this content and what their current level of progression is. Act 5 players. Cause rewards are almost same. Just 2 extra r4 gems r5 gem 1 t5b and the t5c. And as they say not towards end game players. And rewards are near same as act 5. There shouldn’t be any fight over 200k in health and no fight with 10k+ attack. As we all know those fights are geared towards end game players. But who I kidding. Those fight be in there

Rewards are weak for state of game This isn't endgame content anymore either. If you're looking for T6B and T3A, ask Carina for a new Challenge!

Doesn’t answer all your questions, but those gems are advertised to be used on champs after 2017. Dr. Zola Sadly, not anymore.I don't have worthy candidates for ranking up. All the good ones (mags, magik, AA, blade, colossus, hype, quake, rulk, wolvie, venom, etc) are either r4 or r5I suppose is time to rank up arena champions

You’ve released nothing challenging since then, the amount of stuff I have saved up will likely be enough to get me through with no actual money being spent lol
Ahhh…good times. Our old friend the Cowardly Disagree Troll returns to litter the thread with negativity without even a peep from the mods. Maybe Kabam Thrillson is man enough to pierce the anonymity and take his thread back…Dr. Zola I liked your post because you took the time to respond to me, though I do think that >2017 is a typo. I just want some transparency and honesty from Kabam. All content releases should come with a description from Kabam of who the target audience is, including things like number of 5*r5 or 6*r3 champs this theoretical person has. Ignoring even this particular piece of content, I believe Kabam consistently shows themselves to be out of touch with their players. I think if they posted who their content targets are, at least we could discuss on that premise.

Looks like this will be a Mystic-less Variant... (Venompool will be a Usable Cosmic) Maybe the Next Deadpool Champion to be Released will be The Deadpooler Supreme.

I think if they posted who their content targets are, at least we could discuss on that premise. Sadly, you were correct. And I do think it’s fair to ask who the content is intended for at this stage. Initially, Variants were among the toughest quests; now they really aren’t. It’s also fair to ask because this being a piece of “not endgame content,” it should be pretty easy for developed rosters (for example, without any cheesy bottlenecks like the 1* Hulk needed for Mordo from Ch3 Waning Moon).Dr. Zola
Rewards are weak for state of game This isn't endgame content anymore either. If you're looking for T6B and T3A, ask Carina for a new Challenge! If that's really the case, then the difficulty should reflect that no? There have been some fights and paths in these variants lately that are TOUGH without a proper (and limited) counter. So if it's truly not end game content then it shouldn't be Act 6 level difficulty. I took both my accounts through variant 7 in two weeks. 1-2 champs were able to ace large portions of each chapter. Being able to 100% chapters for extra gems is a big deal for people broadening a 5-star roster. Both accounts at what progression level? I recently finished V6 exploration but there are some paths and fights that need really niche counters - The thorns path, DDHK boss, Vision Aarkus, Bishop, Nova. Mr. Fantastic on rising sun and some others I've forgotten. No new cav is going to have the roster for 100% Hell I know some TB still looking for a thorns counter because they don't have Mags, OR, Stryfe or Electro. DDHK boss requires Mags, Apoc, Ultron or OR. Another thing is that a veteran player on a mini account is a completely different thing from a new player with a similar account. The skill and knowledge levels are miles apart. I can probably do the complete Act 5 timelessly with 3* or 4*. A new player most likely won't likely be able to do so.

Rewards are weak for state of game This isn't endgame content anymore either. If you're looking for T6B and T3A, ask Carina for a new Challenge! Wow!!! What a response. So much to unpack in just these 2 snide sentences. I think some of us were just expecting a small bump in rewards. Something different. So I will take a pass on this content. Does nothing for my game progression at this point. Better ways to spend my time.
Rewards are weak for state of game For how easy variants are these days, probably too good of rewards. Easy for a TB or veteran cav with wide rosters and experience. For people who this content is aimed at, it's probably not easy especially since the usable pool is small.Also, even as a TB, the new variants aren't easier, I found V3 and 4 completion and exploration easier. The champions are older and the nodes easier. V5, 6 and 7 have newer champions with harder to evade specials, higher attack values and newer "fun and interactive nodes"

These rewards are awful, this is 2018 rewards lol... It's not about being end game content, it's about pushing rewards that fit the present. 5* champs are falling behind, start handing out more 6* shards to expand rosters.

Grandmaster’s Gauntlet and Summer of Pain came after those challenges were released. I also crave high end content, but let’s be accurate about this.
