Champion Spotlight - Sentry [Updated: Added 5-Star Stats]
This discussion has been closed.

I'm saying those are the qualities the Players consider that make a Champ useful, most typically at the higher end of content. I would suspect the Devs have their own measure, and while those qualities may be a part of it, or may not since we don't know what they define as useful, the point I'm making is that we have to remember that list is suited to what we are looking for. It doesn't mean that every Champ must have significant qualities in those areas.
"- Overpowering Light: 30% chance on entering this State, Sentry's Special 1 Attack Damage is increased by 842.8 per Reality Warp and is Unblockable. Remains until Sentry changes States."
There is two ways to read this
1)He will keep his bonus until get another bonus, meaning he will not go from Overpowering Light to Steadfast Approacht until he got the 30% chance inSteadfast Approach
2)He will enter in enter in this state but only the bonus is 30% chance (wich is the current use in-game)
there is no doubt the first way is way more usefull, and even fun to play.
Do you not believe people adapt and pattern their thoughts based on the environment that they reside or have to survive in? So making a poor statement about us creating the list is wrong. We didn’t create the list, we found the pattern and live by it.
Interpretation is unimportant if the communication is poorly written. There is a lot of misleading information that comes on here. This is why people are constantly barraging questions for clarification. Out of survival mode, we ask questions because the pattern and behavior of these spotlights or any muck up has been to the detriment of the players. You don’t understand because you don’t play the game for competition or to progress at a high level. It is easy to talk about interpretation and play mind games, but your lack of empathy comes across as ignorant and inexperienced.
You're still making quips about my experience and not actually looking at the topic. 30% chance to trigger while the state is active. It's clear, but asking for clarification is not what I was debating. People are free to do that. What it is not, is some type of false advertising. Finding information is our responsibility if we are considering investing our Resources and time. Which means, if we're not sure, we wait until we find out. You can keep responding with "You even Tier 1 bruh?", but the bottom line is not all Champs are equally strong in all areas of the game. Not all Champs are going to be OP in the ways people want. Whether that was the intended design or they adjusted him too much pre-release is just speculation, but this is the Champ we have. People have the right to be unhappy and voice that. No arguments. When we have an expectation about what a Champ should be and start setting our own standards for the Devs, that's a bit different.
Your opinions are out of guessing and not out of any actual game experience. You are in another universe compared to some of us. Your lack of passion for the game and your obsession with responding based on members’ opinions or interpretation makes you seem uninformed. So I take your thoughts with a grain of salt because if you were in my place, you would understand that doing map 6 and tier 1 Wars require certain types of Champions and continued profression.
So yes, “quips” about your lack of progression and passion for high level gaming does make you seem petty when you have no Sentry not have you probably gone for a feature champ or own any feature champ as a 5*. Please share with us your experience with the game and tell us what champs you bring to Wars and AQ. Maybe we can have a fruitful conversation rather than talk about your resume.
We don’t set standards. The developers do and they write about the expectations they place in our minds. The written word is quite powerful as you know. If you feel that the spotlight has no effect on members ambition and excitement towards a particular champ, then you should go back to school.
Why would anyone defend the addition of a worthless champ? I'm aware not all will be OP and that's fine. I'm open to be disappointed at times with the introduction of a new champ. A new champ should have at least one use though. If a champ is this worthless he actually weakens people's roster by taking up space that could have been filled by a champ that has at least one redeeming quality.
Btw no need to argue with certain people...
For real, I just want sentry to be usable, people think we are asking to buff sentry to god tier
Nightcrawler 140 hits..smh
So now they're placing expectations in your mind? Interesting theory. Slightly concerning.
You can word it however you like, but your attempt to dispute my points by questioning experience is not new, nor is it valid or effective.
Tell me. How many Champs out of your Roster do you currently take into Map 6 and Tier 1? If the answer is all of them, I will accept that rebuttal. Otherwise there may very well be validity in what I'm saying. The game offers a range of Champs. They're not all used at the top.
yo homie. my thrad. go go
Yes, the spotlight sets expectations and excitement into the community. It is to get people to want the champ and spin and buy them. That was simple enough to answer. I’m sorry if you don’t get that.
You wish to continue to defend your arguments by saying experience doesn’t matter. If you’re in tier 10 of war and doing map 3-4 in AQ, it is vastly different than tier 1 and map 6. I have done map 3 with Groot and Captain America. I have done Wars with Luke Cage in lower tiers. You can’t take those champs and expect to win the war or survive map 6 at higher levels.
You argue that you have a set amount of champs in jyour roster that you can use for war and AQ.
* 3 AQ offense
* 3 War offense
* 5 War defense
* 5 story or end game content like LoL
As many have reiterated, this isn’t a barrage of comments to make Sentry god tier. It is to make him viable in anything but arena fodder and catalyst quests. I would bet that you will argue that 16 champs out of many that Kabam provide should be easily found in my roster. However, that is not true. You think about prestige, resources for ranking up, rng luck with champs that are useful, and balancing who you can use for specific paths and nodes in AQ and Wars.
I hope I have enlightened you a bit. If you care to share your experience rather than argue about how “interesting that you feel the spotlight puts expectations in our minds.” Otherwise, your comments are not helpful and lack the understanding that many members here have. You feel you have validity by responding with rebuttal about how mistaken the community is about setting expectations, but you really are just as lost. You apparently have low expectations which protect you from being hurt by the things that happen like The Sentry.
On point. Except Prestige, Nothing. He has nothing. He's just cool looking and fun to play but what exactly can that do for you in the game as is? Nothing.
It appears you have nothing more to add to the conversation since you continue to harp about the disparity between your gaming progress and ambition. You fail to argue counter points to people’s concerns about Sentry being viable. You are free to go in circles about this as you wish. Let’s dissect the nature of life and how society or biology has impacted upbringings of the modern man.
This sentence doesn’t even make sense, but I understand what you are trying to say. Yes, progression and ambition matters. It matters to Kabam. They aren’t enticing people like you who aren’t going after these champs. They are trying to entice the big fish. So your opinion on the matter really doesn’t hold too much water since your commentary provides no real world reference to it such as spending or spinning for features or using these features in testing against WS or AQ and Wars. Do you understand?
I’m only proving that your vague and ambiguous arguments hold no merit. Let’s talk about Sentry instead of trying to debate how misinformed or mistaken everyone from players to developers are regarding the denotation of messages that Kabam delivers to us. Or if you continue, we can do this circle thing round and round.
Yep. I agree. This thread is specifically about Sentry. To be honest while everyone is entitled to their opinion, I don't see the reason to comment if you've got nothing to add or don't see any reason as to why Sentry should be improved. Well that's just me.
That aside, if the mods think this thread is irrelevant, they'd have shut it down a long time ago. But that isn't the case, so perhaps there's hope.
That is one-sided. The Thread is about Sentry. That doesn't mean the only people who should contribute are the ones who agree he needs to be buffed.
You're conjecturing their intentions with your own confirmation bias. They're not enticing "big fish". They're providing content for anyone who wants it. Contrary to popular belief, the game doesn't revolve around one demographic. I'm just done with our conversation. This is entirely a closed-minded debate.
Goodness man. You argue words just to argue the words. If you use common sense, you would understand he means if you have played with Sentry and have valid counters to why he doesn’t deserve to be improved, you would be heard. You don’t have him yet wish to argue against people without yourself having done tests. It’s like arguing with a wall. Haha
You do understand what “conjecture” means right? Kind of hypocritical of you to be throwing that word around. Haha. Oh I know the spotlight is to give people information on the champ. I don’t say they solely use it for the spenders. But the magnitude of the call to action is different from the viewpoint of the audience. You read it and go okay I won’t do anything with this information. Others read it and decide if they want to go for him/her.
I do enjoy your continued use of “conjecture” though.
Not sure what you mean but he is already terrible in an epic way. There is no other direction to go because he can't possibly get worse than he is now, because he is that bad.
What can people who don't think he needs to be buffed possibly achieve at this point? And who (maybe except you) doesn't agree that he should be buffed? 100% of everyone who pulled him and played him (including myself) think he needs some work. 100% of those that watched videos of his gameplay thinks he needs to be buffed. 100% of every Sentry fan think he definitely needs to be buffed.
So who doesn't think he needs to be buffed? And if you think so, have you pulled him? Have you played him?
Here is what @GroundedWisdom will say:
“You are conjecturing the intentions of Kabam by releasing a champ that you feel is incomplete. They designed and tested the champ and he is working as described no matter how you misunderstood the spotlight. There was no misleading. Only your bias mislead you to the conclusion that Sentry should be a better champ than he is. This one-sided conversation is mob mentality when you won’t let me or others disagree even though we don’t have him. I’m done with his conversation going in circles.”
