Of course the max sig crystals will change. The current ones are unprecedented. Once we have a new rarity they will be normal max sig crystals.
I appreciate the sentiment and optimism, and I hope you’re right, but I’ve learned better than to say “of course it will be updated.” (Looks at glory store, summoner advancement, 3-day rewards, event quest completion)

This exactly, Kabam has set a precedent for what a Max Sig Crystal can be for the current Max Rarity. I think in general the community accepts what Kabam came up with and it is certainly a lot better than getting nothing.
one: they start giving about 4% of a 7 star on day 1 (apparently November 7th) two: they stay as they are, and don't change until 7 star crystals can actually be opened three: Kabam does something new and original
Having clarification what it will be like at the release so one doesn't have to experiment by opening would be nice to know... but if that has to wait until the release notes come out... I wouldn't be surprised.
After the November update, 6* max sig dups will start dropping a new crystal that contains 7* shards. Because they are dropping an entirely new crystal after the update, the old ones are not being changed.
Because people have been asking, and I know some people are hoarding, I specifically asked about this (because I didn't think they would be updated), and Kabam should be posting official clarification about this soon.
When we release the November build, we will be introducing a new version of the Max Signature Ability Crystal that will provide 7-star shards; the name will remain the same.
Similar to needing to update to the November build to acquire 7-star shards, you will need to update to access the new crystal.
Any current 6-Star Max Sig Crystal existing in a Summoner's stashes will not be updated or adjusted.
TLDR; Same name, new art, new description, new rewards, no changes to currently owned crystals.

I've combined all the Save for November stuff into one PSA post here: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/317988/psa-if-you-are-holding-6-shards-or-crystals-until-november
Happy to shed some insight on this one:
