Is playing Marvel of Champions a fultime Job?

I just want to share my opinion on the current situation. The game is basically a second full-time job for me.

Battle Grounds
I'm not an experienced player, but I've been able to keep up for the past two seasons. As soon as I reached 100 points in the Gladiator Circle, I stopped playing. I was able to do that in about 10 days. Now I'm in the situation where I've lost about 9 fights in a row, and it's a struggle to get any higher.

I bought a few items during the Fourth of July sale. Does that have anything to do with it? I don't know. But with the radiance in the game, I'm forced to do it.

In addition, I have to do all the side quests: Alliance War, Incursion, Valiant EQ, etc. It's just a lot and frustrating (bugs, boring, and long content).
I force myself to do it because I want rewards, level up Campion, and open Crystals.

I should note that I'm not playing Battlegrounds well. I understand that Battlegrounds is a competitive space and its just not for me.

But in general, I find that the different modes are getting harder and longer, while the rewards remain the same. I don't want to play compulsively after having my full-time job. Please just make the content entertaining/fun and keep the difficult and long stuff in the end game content.

Are you experiencing the same?

No, I play it for fun. I play the EQ and SQ, AQ and some arena sometimes. I'm Thronebreaker now.

Its a full time job if you play competitively in every gamemode such as AQ, War, high rank in BGs, etc. I highly discourage that much investment and recommend managing your time to something more realistic and reasonable.

Yes I agree with the time commitment part for this game

I'm an alliance leader and I have first hand interactions with almost 30 valiants in my alliance

50% of the valiants that join my alliance quit playing after 1 month despite my alliance having very minimal play requirement

I have to constantly kick valiants from my alliance bcos they totally stopped playing

Full time jobs don't pay salaries in pixels, so no.

JESUSCHRIST

Being the alliance leader, I have to lead by example and do every alliance content, AQ AW raids, contribute points towards battlegrounds alliance event

It's very frustrating when valiants join my alliance and totally don't play, parking is a very real thing, they don't inform you when they stopped playing and I have to make a guess whether they have quit the game already or not

Sometimes the player comes back online after a few days and asked why I kicked them, I'm like at least inform me if you are taking a break but they don't have the decency to do so in the first place

JESUSCHRIST

I get feedback from my members saying they are busy with their full time jobs and can't play as much, please don't kick me, I get that

Right now, my alliance have no minimum requirement

Previously in the new AW, I have valiants who can't even do 1 fight, I have to think constantly do I kick those players out, 1 fight in 2 days and they can't even play

Now, I enlisted in 3 BG for nightmare raids bcos I don't know how many players wants to play, I have 22 joined and I can't do anything about the third BG with 2 players

Only if YOU make it one.
There is absolutely no reason to.

You can play the game however and as much as you want.

Not sure why people don’t get this.

Will they pay me to play it? No.

You don’t HAVE to “keep up” if you can’t.
What would make you think you do?

RevHeresy

I only do arenas and everything that does not require an alliance.

smdam38

There are a bunch of things you can do in game without having to daily play.

You’re not going to keep up with the countach folk.
They’re ridiculous.

I no longer have to "keep up"
I don't care about the game bcos my account is 7.9 million and I don't lack any resources

I'm not competitive battlegrounds player as well so I just play casually for fun

JESUSCHRIST

2 valiants saw my battlegrounds deck and forfeit straightaway, I got 2 free wins

The third valiant completed the match and lost to me nonetheless

That's how I get by in battlegrounds, by getting free wins from smaller valiants

smdam38

Sooo?
What’s your contribution to this thread?

OP, asking if it’s a full time job.
Did you full time to get where you are?

JESUSCHRIST

OP, asking if it’s a full time job.
Did you full time to get where you are?

You mentioned about keeping up so I talked about how I keep up with mundane battlegrounds objectives like winning 3 matches, basically hoping for free wins until I get matched with whales and have to fight and maybe win

I already said I agreed with the time commitment and I designed my alliance to reduce the load on my members and I have to carry my alliance everyday

What's your contribution to this thread other than to question others' contribution?

JESUSCHRIST

Basically my point is many valiants actually can't keep up with the time commitment needed for this game and they just quit after getting valiant

I know this bcos of the large number of valiants joining my alliance and many stopped playing

Kabam has the data as well about the number of valiants who dropped off after becoming valiant

smdam38

Not all valiants are equal.

You’re absolutely right. kabaam has the data.

smdam38

Oddly, it either doesn’t happen or is fixed immediately for the online players.

smdam38

You can YouTube and watch this in real time.

JESUSCHRIST

You can play as much as you want and you can play as little as you want

It's within your choice to do so

The rewards aren't that game changing anyway

Limit the Time Investment, OP.

It’s not the game itself that feels like a job — it’s all the extra stuff that comes with it. Ever thought about how much time you’re spending on forums, Reddit, MCOC YouTube content, Twitch streams, etc.?

I’m guilty of it too. But lately, I’ve been reflecting on this and actively trying to cut back. It’s not really a “problem” per se — it’s just that love for the game turns into an obsession with finishing **everything** the moment it drops.

When new content releases, I can easily spend 10 hours on it in a single day. That *should* mean I’m done for the month, right? But nope — I still end up logging 3–4 hours **every single day** afterward.

And honestly, sometimes I catch myself spending *more* time reading forums or watching content *about* MCOC than actually playing it. Why do I need to know what's happening in every random forum user's game/life? 😂 Yet here I am, reading the good, the bad, and the downright dumb posts.

### The Plan (which I’m definitely starting... right after this post 😅):

1. Limit game time:
➡ Weekdays – Max 2 hours/day
➡ Sundays – Unlimited (go wild)
➡ Saturdays – Optional, light play [Damn it gpt that's included in weekdays]

2. Don’t rush content
➡ Most content/events stay for at least a week or a month, sometimes permanently.
➡ You don’t have to finish it on Day 1. Chill. Breathe. Take your time, seriously.

3. Forum time cap:
➡ 10 minutes/day max.That’s more than enough.
➡ Only check News & Announcements. No more bookmarking endless threads.

4. MCOC content (YouTube/Twitch):
➡ Only watch when I need war fight strategies, or if there's a stream with drops.
➡ No more casual binge-watching for hours.

I’m not sure if anyone else will follow this plan, but I need to — for my own sanity. 😄
And please don’t quote this if you reply, I’ll probably cringe reading it again lol.

Also… no, I didn’t proofread it. That’s GPT’s job now. 🙃

Let me know if you want a shorter version or one formatted for posting in a forum thread. Nope I don't. Let 'em waste a some time:D

Be glad you weren’t playing the first 4-5 years of AQs , where the energy timer was like 90 minutes (or maybe 60? , I forgot)
