Opinions on the 7-star border?

Sorry, it looks cheap and kiddish for the prominence of what "7 stars" should be. Green and Purple is a rough color scheme on it's own (it's branding goes along with joker or OG hulk) but the little crystal shard things in the corners feel too much like candy sprinkles. The bright saturation feels like candy crush merged with MCOC.

The thing about the borders is you collect shards, form a crystal and then it pops/explodes open to reveal the champ. Having the crystal shards stuck to the frame feels like it's not finished in the lifecycle of a hero crystal... and that might be why it feels messy too to me.

I never like to just criticize though without suggestions. Also I love the color purple. If it would help, I think if they went with "royal purple" or a blend of a purple with blue highlights, it would have felt more like a cosmic/galaxy look. Here's what I mean by that blend:

I think it looks ok…

absolutely abysmal. bad color choices, and the placement and shape of the little crystal growths make it even worse. I DESPERATELY hope they change before we're able to actually obtain them

Not a popular opinion, but I love them. Then again, I love purple. Lol.
Not all of em are purple though. At least they weren't for me.
What other color did you have? All 6 fights I had were purple.

I believe I had an orange. Maybe it was a bug or was my eyes playing tricks on me.

I wish this was true. It would give me some hope that Kabam are open to changing this.

I really hope Kabam will think about changing the design a bit.
The color is totally fine, but please keep the dark/black parts in the top left and top right corners that 5* and 6* champions have.
This current design looks so cheap lol.
Something more cool like this would be dope.

All they had to do was just take the 6* one and change the blue to green. Or orange. Or yellow. Any colour. Leave everything else the same.

How come the 6* has better border?

Should have gone with red or some variation ... gold is too obvious .. heck maybe even a diamond border.

Purple with black accents (like we have on 6*) would've been fine IMO
They didn't have to go green
Even if they wanted something new then purple with a darker gold like shade of yellow would've suited better, or just different shades of purple making it look like an actual transparent crystal
Also the shade of purple they opted for isn't sitting right with me
Purple is fine but probably a different shade of purple would've been better

The 6* borders still feel more "premium" compared to new 7* ones

Personally I would invert the colors of the 6*. Shiny black border with blue highlights.

SuelGames

Looks kinda cheap and tacky for me. Purple is a nice choice but would have made it more of a dark royal purple than this. Hopefully they are open to the feedback!

I doubt they change it at this point, they should have asked for feedback sooner

I do not like them at all for a permanent border. It looks like a border they turn on for fun during a special event.
Because of the purple I would say a pride day/week/month type event.
It looks to cheap and out of place for a permanent border.
If they wanted to stay with purple I would say to make it much darker. So it does not look as cartoony

Deepworld

I don't mind the colour purple. I like it. The problem is the accents and of course how unshiny it is... it's so dull and boring and looks like a purple LEGO block.

Hate is probably too strong for me, but definitely not a fan. To me it's not so much the color (although I don't love the scheme TBH) it's more the overall look of it. It looks bulky, clunky and as I have heard others say "cartoonish". I think that is a good word for it. I would prefer something sleek. If it's purple and green, I would prefer something darker and sleeker for both. Nothing sticking out on the corners...just my opinion.

This is perfect. Add some of the black markings that the six star one has and call it a day.

MaxGaming

I feel like this is a case of less is more.

The simple borders for each star rarity being bronze, silver, gold for the 2 - 4 star rarities. And 5* and 6* being animated it was suttle but nice now this sticks out of frame more glows and points at edge. It doesn't feel the same and it's definitely pointing out its different

MaxGaming

I remember a much simpler time before relics, 7 stars

World Eater

Was indifferent but after seeing it in game it looks like cheap piece of purple plastic used for toys. 6* border looks sleek and stands out. 7* border looks like it was pieced together with scrap parts of Annihilus.

Mackey

Looks like it's got plants growing out of the purple border, not a fan. Bur then it don't really make much of a difference to the champs

No but it makes a difference to the marketing.
And we’re talking about the next ‘chase’ so …

Rookiie

Well @Kabam Jax the results indicate that this is an overwhelming failure: 75% of voters neither like nor care for this border.
Feedback for the game team I suppose.

PapaMidnite007

I'm not really bothered I just hope they'll have an additional mechanic like how 6 stars have adrenaline

RobbieRampage

Everything about it is bad, the colour combo, the crystal pieces, it just looks more childish than the other borders.

THUNDERBIL

Need to make it a bit darker.

Kerneas

The little crystal on the top left corner of the healthbar looks exactly like leaves. It feels like fighting Poison Ivy
