Would you quit this game if you pulled a 6* trash-tier champ? (Kamala Khan, Hulk Buster, etc.)

raffster

Well? Some already have or are near being able to open their first 6* champ.

no because even if i did, its still an incredibly powerful champ

Shrimkins

No. Gotta take the bad luck with the good. Just the way RNG works.

Bye y'all.

No I wouldn't and I fully expect to pull an awful champ.

DarkestDestroyer

No one would quit, that's the truth

Kpatrix

I won't be opening mine unless there are good champs in there, I would rather save up than get ****. But the thing is, so many people whine about crappy champs and don't realize that by honing your skills with a bottom tier champ, once you get a god tier you'll be skilled enough to use them correctly. I knew a few guys who got lucky with their first few 4*s and thought they were great players. When they nerfed sw, ds, and Thor they were lost and were nowhere near as skilled as guys who were using other champs to clear content.

I agree. If you’ve stuck around long enough to get a 6* you’re not just gonna quit

FingerPicknGood

I do wish they would balance the champs out, but, well, your 5* champs are going to be viable for a loooong time. Why quit if you've spent this much time playing the game over some RNG choice?

Bluuurrrr

But I really wouldn’t want them on my profile as they start at equivalent of a 4/55

NO, a six star champ is a six star champ... You should be happy if you even got one.

concepcion29

nope. I think the 6* will be strong regardless if it is trash. it's just the luck of the draw and those players that have stuck around long enough and spent months/years playing this game know it is just part of the game. you win some, you lose some.

r1 6* ~= r4 5*

So, no one would be happy if they pulled one of the less desirable champs, but to claim you'd quit the game over that is just silly hyperbole.

I'm sure there are people who would, although I suspect most of them are players that are already not happy with the game and just looking for a reason. I personally only gamble if I am willing to sometimes lose.

Sometimes I feel like I already should....

MarzGroove

i didn't quit when I pulled a trash 2*, 3*, 4*, 5*, so why stop now?

LoPresti

I didn't stop when I pulled trash from my 5 star crystals, why would I stop when I pull trash from 6 stars -_-

I do envy the guys that open 1 crystal and instantly win the game though. A trash 6 star will do literally nothing for your progression, and a Godtier 6 star will make all content in the game easy af for the upcoming months (or year) at least.

Kamala Khan is not bad if you have black bolt and stark in the team

It is of course better to be lucky than unlucky, but my experience with this game is that patience eventually catches up to luck. I haven't had especially good luck - or particularly disastrous luck - with crystal pulls, but over time I've built up a solid roster of almost all the good 4* champions, and I've started to build up my 5* roster (one great champ, a couple good ones, a lot of arena fodder). Eventually I will have a decent 5* roster and no matter what I pull in my first 6* crystal it will not permanently define my game play any more than my first 4* pull (Storm) or my first 5* pull (Captain Marvel) ultimately did.

Corpsman

If they have nothing but trash champs I’ll hold my shards. I’m betting they will.

LegoCrafter517

Lol no, even if it was a trash 6*, its a 6*. Plus you'll get sympathy from all your ally mates when you pull someone like a 6*KK

Vision_41

At least it'd be better than some of the lower rank champions.

Darkstar4387

Haven't quite quit yet even when pulling lots of what people consider trash tier champions like spider gwen who I have pulled a 2*, 3*, 4* ( dupe), 5* versions of her.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if my first 6* turns out to be her, even as crappy as she is she will have crazy stats and she does hit farily hard.

If I quit it would be out of frustration due to the bugs and issues as opposed to who I get

100% agree here - I am a whopping 1-11 on featured five star crystals. Fast forward to today (I no longer purchase feature five star crystals) but I have almost all of the original features I once spun for and did not get. Patience is key :-)

I just painfully sold some of my 4* to get a 5*

So either way it's worth it for a 6* because they'll be equally powerful

One of the more significant issues with the current champ acquisition system is the near total inability of the player to influence which 5*’s he or she obtains.

When 4*’s were at the pinnacle,* a player could devote time and money to grinding for them as basics even without a massive roster. For a solid two years, I nabbed every basic champ available via arena and painstakingly ranked them to the point they would be viable for streaking. It was difficult at first (I remember the initial DD & BW arenas that required 30 runs over three days for me to eclipse 3M points), but it was rewarding and paid off exponentially over time.

That’s simply unavailable with 5*’s (and presumably 6*’s), and it arguably becomes more so with changes to the 5* feature (although I’ve given up after only hitting one feature ever—Mordo in 2016). I think the more roster development depends on Kabam’s version of RNG, the less satisfaction you will find among the player base. Especially with the viral proliferation of “Noob with a god-tier” screenshots online and in chats.

I realize the game team has to cater to all levels within the community, but I sense an impatience among higher tier players that I suspect will erupt when/if a Blade 5* becomes stubbornly difficult to obtain in a few weeks despite record shard expenditure. Even more so if his (or other unnamed champs’) gameplay dynamics are “adjusted” for the integrity of the game a la 12.0.

Is that meant to imply the game will cease to exist? Not at all. I suspect it’s too ingrained a habit for many of us at this point. But I do expect to see more players take a step back, if not from playing then certainly from spending. The addicts never will, but the hobbyists have a host of other options that offer more rewarding payouts.

* I don’t want to sidetrack into a “are 4*’s still viable?” discussion. Some still are, and many are not and never were. Not the point of this post.
