**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event
**KNOWN ISSUE**
We have adjusted the node placement of the new AW maps to better allow path traversal. As a result, defender placements have been reset. Please, take a moment to re-place your defender setup. We will be pushing out a message in-game shortly.

    They've already said that they aren't planning on changing him right now, but they would discuss him. Which likely means that change won't be immediate, considering they don't buff new Champs right away. Really doesn't make a difference to me if people keep posting for a response, but it's probably worth pointing out the way things normally function.
  • i got a sentry of 4 star version..he does not hit that much hard.i am so disappointed..please make him more strong.

    They are dissatisfied. As consumers they have the right to complain

    They do if they had a valid complaint, I would agree. But the complaint is that they don't like a champ that is working as he was described? So that's not a complaint at all is it, its a point of view

    And even if there was a valid complaint, I agree people should then complain. But not over and over needlessly spamming and bumping the thread

    Thats not a point of view, sentry problem is not 'i dont like it', he is really bad in EVERY metric you want.
    Plus, the champion passive is missleading, plus if kabam dont want any feedback just close the forum.

    And about 'spamming' or 'bumping', you talk like this forum heave an insane amount of posts everyday, and a few posts in the champion spotlight will hurt your eyes or something like that

    If you dont like to read the comments here just ignore the post man, and yes they have all the right to complaint over and over and over again, if kabam dont like complaint just solve the problem, if YOU dont like (for some wierd reason), click 'flag'

    Mate, I was just replying to your points, no trying to offend you

    But you are wrong re the "complaint". You even prove it for me with your reply. He is a poor champ, that's it. He is not bugged, there are no differences to his abilities to what is written etc. He is just weak. That's not a complaint, its a point of view

    im not offended.

    So, if you can't complaint just because he is working how is describe in the spotlight, they could just write his IP and his habilities names and no one can ever say anything?


    There is nothing in the spotlight about his critical damage, critical chance, or how much damage he can do in his sp1/sp2. Can i say something about that?

    Those who defend Sentry obviously havent been "blessed" with pulling him as 5star. His basic attacks hit like he was 3star at most and special attacks are not much better, even when these states of mind proc (which I sometimes see once every 5 battles). Person responsible for testing this champion and deciding that he's good to be released to Contest, should be fired and never again hired in gaming industry.

    Lol mate, I would hate to work for you! Thats harsh!

    I dont have him, and hope I never get him after reading all this. He looks like a very very poor champ. But sometimes that happens in any game. Sorry for anyone who has him tbh, but we all get poor champs. My first 5 stars were Loki, HB, AM, Groot, Carnage, LC, KK. That was all I got!! Only got X23 even now that is good, so I suffered as well

    Look, im not in the camp that think kabam will do everything to hurt us, will bug the game just to 'sell more units' etc.

    But sentry problem is so clear, you dont need much test to see he is no good at all. I post here because i hope kabam could read this and maybe get better in the future, i dont have any hopes they will buff sentry soon.

    And i do have a lot of bad champs, and a lot of good champs, i could just ignore this post and move one, but i want to give my feedback, i dont see any problem about this, 3 days after his release people already complaint about 'spams' here.... if you go back and look in the first pages you will see a lot of flags for spam....

    Just a difference in what we class as a complain it seems mate. Nothing wrong with him that was lied about, so imho not a complaint. In your opinion because he is so poor you think there is a right to complain. Different Beats

    Hope you eventually get some happiness from this mate, but I don't think they will buff him soon, but fingers crossed for you


    Ok, i can agree with that :P

    Im not really a big fan os HQ's, so i will not be really upset about that, he can be used in arena like many other **** champs.

    I dont have any hope for sentry to be honest, not in anytime soon, and i dont think the most people here have but i think the huge numbers of comment is a valid feedback to kabam. Maybe they expand the contest creator program for every hero, or even do more tests in the future? I don't know, but i dont think kabam really want to lunch bad heroes, this backlash is no good for the company

    Don't misunderstand me. I don't debate the right to voice an opinion. I'm just pointing out that waiting for some kind of immediate action would not be realistic, given the protocol for buffing new Champs. To the best of my knowledge, there is no bug to fix. It's just a Champ that performs less than what people want.

    Stats based on 5 Star, Rank 5, Level 65, Signature Level 200
    Health: 31398
    Attack: 2414
    Max PI:
    Without Signature: 7670
    With Signature (200): 10530
    ...
    Special Attacks:
    Special 1: Light Blast - Sentry punches his opponent before unleashing a Light-based Energy blast.
    70% chance for Fury, increasing your Attack by 301 for 20 seconds. This Fury does not Stack.
    Special 2: Soaring Strike - Sentry leads with an uppercut then loops around for a flying double punch.
    70% chance to Armor Break, removing an enemy Armor Up and applying 666.67 Armor Rating reduction for 20 seconds.
    Special 3: Channel the Void - Sentry transforms into the Void, creating a black hole that consumes the opponent.
    When Health is below 50%, Sentry consumes one Reality Warp to Heal 1566 over 3 seconds.

    Signature Ability: Molecular Reformation
    - Reality Warps persist from fight to fight and Sentry has a chance to gain Indestructible when he loses a Combo.

    - When Sentry loses his Combo, he has an X% chance to become Indestructible for 0.3 seconds per Reality Warp. Indestructible doesn’t trigger if Sentry is afflicted with a Debuff.
    - At the start of a fight, if Health is above X%, Reality Warps persist with Sentry from the previous fight.
    ...

    OK so this is interesting. Someone above mentioned that the spotlight did not mention how little damage his special attacks do as well as his low crit rate and crit damage.
    Most of Sentry’s abilities are based around his Special Attacks and how they impact his damage output.

    This champion spotlight is completely misleading. Give this exact description with gwenpool's stats and all of the sudden you have a good champion. One of the reason a lot of people went for the champion was that they read this spotlight and decided that this description would result in a strong champion, which it would!

    But sentry's base damage special attacks are completely gimped so that when he does gain a state of mind, they are boosted back to normal levels. And just to make sure that they don't do too much damage, they shut down his crit rate and crit damage.
    Recommended Masteries:
    Recoil
    Most of Sentry’s abilities are based around his Special Attacks and how they impact his damage output. Recoil is a good option to further increase his damage. In addition, his situational Regeneration on Special 3 will help mitigate damage taken from Recoil.

    This is so dumb. Sentry's signature ability doesn't work with suicide masteries. Who would get recoil without double edge?

    At the end of the day I still like the look and feel of the character. I thought to myself when I went for him that kabam was smarter than us and that there is something there about sentry if only we figure out how to play him right. He is all about momentum after all! But the user above made me realize that indeed the crit rate and crit damage as well as the base damage of special attacks is not included in the spotlight which makes me think it is quite misleading because his abilities read very nicely.

    Anyway mostly just logged on here to keep the discussion going. Move along if you're tired of it :)

    Just stopped by to remind everyone how awesome sentry was and just how excited I am to have had spent 15k shards to get him!

    I'd be happy if they simply increased the 30% chance to 50%
