feedback on ascension timing

First, I love the attempt to try to make champs last "just a little bit longer". The idea of ascension is fine... its just too late.
Will I use the feature... absolutely with free material.
But would I pay $1 to be able to ascend a 5 star Quake/Magik... No. If 5 star ascension came out a year ago when it was announced and "just waiting for 6 stars to creep to far up... absolutely. But at this point 20% to make them work like a mid-tier 6 star doesn't cut it... the ship sailed on them. Remember... this bonus is less than the bonus 6 and 7 stars get doing 7/8. Ascending a 5 star champ makes them less powerful than the other champs that also "need ascending".
Would I to take up Star Lord/other 4 stars to do any Carina's challenges I haven't done... probably... That really depends more on how much content is out there to do / whether I am bored / have items overflowing. Given all the other announcements that came at the same time... my guess is it will be a while still (which is a good thing for the game, just not for ascension).
Which just leaves us with 6 stars. The timing is right on this... and I look forward to ascending champs like Herc / other champs I didn't blink to r5 even though I could have chosen to r2 a 7 star instead... but those will be few/far between (maybe a dozen)... and TBH... if the power is doled out too slowly... then it will become too late for most of them too.

those that have not yet developed the depth in their 6* roster.
and those that really want to be able to use someone they have as a 5* but not a 6* like magik or quake or anyone really. depending on what your roster is.
is a 5* asscended champ going to do wonders for everyone?
NO
will it do wonders for some?
YES
will a 4* asscended champ help most?
NO
will it help some?
YES
not every single point of every single piece of content is designed for the top players.
there are many players at many levels playing and will continue to be more new players.
Ascension is largely for 6*s yes, but making it solely for 6*s would be verging on elitist. There is a huge portion of the playerbase not focussing on 6*s, ascension is another facet to their progression - one that they can do without focussing on maxed out champs, it’s an extra rank earlier than potentially otherwise and I think that’s really cool
Meanwhile, all the "R3" Quakes will be interesting.
So I'm pretty excited for Ascension. Even if no 5* will make my starting lineup.
Once I've done my "favorite" 5*s or the champs I have that are best at sig 200, I will probably start ascending champs required for some of those challenges.
Pulled 6* Doom in my absolute next crystal…
