We are aware that the Twitch Drops campaign started late and that as a result most players did not receive most, or any, of the drops. We will make it right, and are currently looking into the possible options, please stay tuned.

To add to this conversation, we have an entire blog post. It contains a lot more than just 7-Stars.
We know it's a lot of information, but there's some exciting things in there!
there isn’t even content difficult enough for rank 4 six stars, and rank fives aren’t even achievable in the game yet. So why the hell are they adding seven stars now?
I’m really interested to see which colour / style you guys went for.
And what about the stars? Did you just chuck another star on the frame or did you guys go about it another way?
Lastly, can you shed some light on the new mechanic?
Thanks 😁 @Kabam Jax / @Kabam Miike

I started playing MCOC all the way back in 2014 when it first released and although I did take a few breaks, I have still spent many years developing and progressing my roster. One of the things that originally drew me to this game was the ability to form a massive roster of characters from the Marvel universe and fight with them. 5* champs were released pretty early on in the game's life so I didn't think much of them as it just felt like another form of power progression. When 6*s were released, I was hesitant about the way the game was moving forward but I accepted the fact that my roster would reset as it meant the game would continue growing.
With the release of 7*s however, I feel like my roster was just shot in the chest. I understand that Kabam plans on extending the duration of our current rosters with the new ascension mechanic, but that is still just putting a band aid on the problem. Knowing that 7* champions are coming means knowing that all of my existing roster, which I spent hours grinding shards for, hours farming resources for, will be made redundant at some point in the future. Kabam say that they want to respect our existing roster with this mechanic, but I feel like the purpose of ascension is to just lessen the blow to the community and the backlash they are going to receive.
I am vehemently against the idea of 7*s, not only because this means our rosters will eventually be reset, but because this means that the only way for the game to progress is to continue adding a new rarity of champions, and repeating the same grind for a champion in a new rarity. I appreciate the fact that Kabam at least thought of respecting our rosters, but this is still a terrible idea in my humble opinion. This is only made worse by the fact that there is still no improvement in the method of obtaining champions and it's still 100% rng dependent. Heck, we still haven't heard a whisper about the wish crystal which was revealed over a year ago.
To conclude, I feel that 7*s are a bad idea and are a kick in the face for people who have spent countless hours developing their 6* rosters as it means that they will eventually be useless in endgame content (albeit a little bit later than 5*s were redundant). Furthermore, I think that the reveal of 7*s has really ruined the future of the game for me, and I'm sure countless other players as this sets the precedent that the only way for the game to move forward is to add new rarities of champions and make your current roster useless.
I wish that Kabam had instead made relics the next things players had to collect as I'm sure that would've been met with way more optimism and that would've truly meant that they respect our rosters.
Anyways, these are just thoughts from an 8 year player of the game who's invested countless hours on this game. You're free to disagree, these are just my thoughts and opinions
