Kabam made a mistake when releasing the Paragon title with like 3 months before the July weekend deals. Many people were left out because they didn't have time to catch up. I know I spent a lot less last year because I felt screwed over by not being able to plan catching up. Kabam, please avoid making that same mistake this time. If a new title is coming before July weekend please let us know what the requirements are NOW. Like, this week.

Whether it'll be 8.2 exploration or Act 8 exploration is yet to be seen
If it's Act 8 then the requirement will be linked with 7* champs & not R5 6*
Number two, we haven't heard any inkling of a new progression from any official channels or affiliated members of the community, so you might be jumping the gun on your preparations.
Number three, while your concerns are valid regarding how the launch went, especially so close to July 4th but that is ultimately at the discretion of Kabam or more specifically their marketing department and they've been known to mis-time their stuff.
Additionally, most players have larger concerns in game right now than a new title, such concerns include input issues, BG issues, mod users, etc
An extra additional reason is likely based on how you worded it. It (especially the last line) came off overly demanding and entitled.
1) You say that it was a mistake releasing Paragon when they did, but your only reasoning for that was that you personally didn't have enough time to get it day 1. That's not exactly a great argument, and new progression titles should not be easily attainable immediately upon release. For what it's worth, I also was not a day 1 paragon, it took me until August.
2) You say that you spent less because of it, and infer that it was a bad decision on Kabam's part. I would be willing to bet that they made far more from people pushing paragon then they lost from people like you. My reasoning is that they did the exact same thing for the release of Thronebreaker. They announced it shortly before its release, very close to Cyber Monday. If they noticed a dramatic decrease in revenue they likely would not have done the same thing for Paragon.
3) The post comes off as entitled and demanding. They have no obligation to announce anything ahead of time, and a single post on the forums insisting that they announce all their plans this week isn't going to accomplish anything. If you're really worried about a new title coming (which I don't think is particularly likely), have you done all content available to you? Have you gotten the r5 gem from Carina's? The only people who stand a chance to get new titles immediately upon release are those that are at the absolute pinnacle of progression. If you want to be one of them, start preparing now. Get an r5, explore all the story content, participate in the highest tier aw. If you do all that, it doesn't matter when they announce a new title, you will be well set up to get it.
I thought all those ideas were wrapped up pretty well in a simple 'disagree' react. I didn't think it would be particularly helpful or constructive to spell all this out, but you asked for reasoning, so here it is
I guess I do feel entitled to some proactive communication from a game developer so they can head off the same criticisms the next time around. I don't think that is unreasonable.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I would put a new star level only slightly above a new progression title in terms of impact to the game.
Next progression requires you have only 1* champs on profile with a legend tag.
If you can't do that. Sorry guys, You missed out the opportunity.
