**WE ARE NO LONGER Temporarily Reverting Tier 1 War Ban System**
After further discussion, the game team has made the decision not make adjustements to the ban system.
The previously proposed fix would have resolved the issue for Summoners who are on the cusp of T1/T2 play, and negatively impacted Alliances more securely in T1. Instead, we recommend that cusp Alliances switch to Manual Placement to your members to place the allotted 5 Ban Champions limit there.
Apologies for the back and forth, and for any confusion.

At the current stage of 7* progression, what’s out of the question? Certainly, a 2-3 gem should be off limits, as well as anything that pushes players to R3. Maestro specific stuff should also be a no fly zone.
But what about a 7* awakening crystal? Lots of awakened 7*’s already and many of the available ones don’t technically need it to be useful. What about more 7* shards or even Titan shards? A class 7*? My personal favorite—a 1* AG? A rare champ selector? 6* relic selector?
Another thought: what about making prizes conditional on the amount of Necro runs a player completes? Staggering additional milestones based on progress in Necro seems problematic for the same reason early rewards are—namely, folks who might be planning run #2,3,4 or 5 would be at a disadvantage with late notice.
It’s an interesting thought experiment. Should be good forums fodder for the rest of the year.

Just cuz it's completely a new item in the game
Gifted guardian crystal and the. Titan crystal as final reward would be nice
What I do know is that Miike read this thread because he felt compelled to comment on not paying out Necro death prizes early.
So keep it coming.

But doubt we will see 7* awakening gems until 8.4 (maybe in completion offer or for exploration)
Which is to say, it is highly probable that for an event like this, the reward designers had a continency plan for what to do if we blew the doors off of the milestones long before it was over to keep the excitement up, right from day one.
I personally have no idea what that contingency is, so I'm free to speculate. If I had to guess, I would guess that given the current death trajectory they would probably put in another milestone at 7.5 million and another one at 10 million. They aren't going to want to keep adding in one million intervals because the chances are too high we'd blast through too many over the next month. If we extrapolate our current Necropolis rates, which is not unreasonable at this stage, we're on pace to get close to 12 million by January 15th. 10 million is well within reach.
What would I put in those two slots? I would probably put Titan shards at 7.5 million, say, 5000, and a 7* Nexus crystal at 10 million. Both of those are relatively sexy rewards that are consistent with the kinds of stuff in the current milestones and would be interesting to get without being overly balance-significant.

Remember how we talk about managing our own expectations, and how failure to do so almost always, inevitably leads to disappointment?
Just a friendly reminder to keep that in consideration as you chat about the Road to the Crypt, prior to us announcing what's actually coming next.
