When Will We See Them as 7*’s?

in General Discussion
There are obvious champs that we may never see as 7* (Quake, Herc) and some that may only be released as 7* in monetized events or as special prizes (Magik, Kitty, Wolverine, e.g.) while still others may be on hold because they could be too effective with 7* stats (Hulkling, Scorpion, Valk, e.g.).

But there’s a large-ish group of good to very good champs who aren’t game breaking but can still be effective in their current state as 7*.

For example:

Tech: Nimrod, Silver Centurion, Star-Lord
Mutant: Toad, Jubilee, Cable
Science: Cassie, Miles, Wasp, YJ
Skill: Agent Venom, Stealth Spidey
Cosmic: Champion, Thor, Ikaris
Mystic: Mephisto, Morningstar, Claire Voyant

What’s holding back releasing champs like this in a special crystal or generally?

    7* Agent Venom would go insane with the scorpion and kraven synergy

    I’d love to see it. But you could limit damage by having a 7* gate.

    Drip feeding content. 8 stars won't be a thing so they have to maximize the amount of 7 stars before they have to introduce a new "star level" mechanic

    I was going to post about this topic myself — I mean, for real. We’re into 7R4 now.

    Are we seriously not going to have Thor — ANY THOR — as a 7-star?

    What is happening here?

    There are other champs I’d put in too that are great in the hands of certain operators—KK being one, for example.

    I just don’t think there’s a good need to slow walk champs that would be good as is in the 7* pool when we have quite a few 7* who need tune-ups badly.

    I try not to be dense, because I promise I understand that, IDK, Cosmic Ghost Rider would break the game as a 7-star. I am not trying to seem like I don’t understand that some characters would be difficult — Kate Bishop, etc.

    But at some point, what are doing here? Some of these kits that are 7-stars are insane, as it is — if 7-star Nick Fury is in the game, what are we doing?

    I don’t understand how some of these kits haven’t been released by now.

    I really feel like the Christmas 6 will be some broken champs.
    Hulkling
    Ghost / Nimrod
    Scorp
    Valkyrie / Kingpin
    Claire / Mephisto
    Red mags
    For some good money ofc

    Stralord, cable, agent venom, champion and Morningstar need tune ups before releasing as 7*.

    Also to add to the list -
    Mutant - old man logan with little tune up maybe? Wolverine no need to sell imo.
    Skill - valk, no need to sell again
    Science - electro as pure defender maybe, also hulk rags in current form wouldn't hurt
    Cosmic - my boy anus

    When will New Mcoc update get out?
  • ItsClobberinTimeItsClobberinTime Member Posts: 6,748 ★★★★★
    They're probably waiting so they can get some of those buffed.

    Also I'd add Quake to the same list as Magik, Herc obviously not because this playerbase will never let that happen, but Quake is 100% possible especially considering her nerf was planned even before Magik's back when Miike talked about it.

    I don't know how many times I've asked for 7* Wasp. She is such a good champ that could really benefit from the larger healthpool, and the stat focuses. I thought she would be in the 7* launch pool, but wasn't. It's very disappointing that she's not a 7* by now.

    I’d love a 7* star lord. I have 6* max sig and ascended. I also have the 5* and 2* maxed.

    Just gonna go ahead and bust that bubble now, it will 100% be 8*. And then 9*. And then 10* and on and on.

    I don't entirely understand the question here.
    We consistently release new Champions to the 7 Star pool in various ways.

    There are 8 new 7 Star Champions coming in August -

    Are you wanting us to just mass drop every 7 Star into the pool all at once?

    Could you please reply in another thread about whether there will be a limit on Rebirth selectors (considering that you can get 6 tokens in total, which means 2 selectors... or no)

    Quote a simple question really. What’s stopping you from increasing the release cadence of champions not available as 7*’s?

    We’re already at the rank 4 progression of 7* and there’s a lot of champions not released in the highest rarity. At the pace we’re on we’ll be moving towards 8* before the full champion pool has been released as 7*’s.

    Well, what reason could there be for them to buff every champ before 8*? If they buff every single champ in the game before 8* come out what will there be left to buff then? Sure you could argue certain 7* like DDHK and Red Hulk could receive tune ups but realistically they would run out of those very fast unless they just start releasing new mid champs every month, and yes this is thinking very far ahead into the future but it's what makes sense.
    If they want to keep the game alive for years to come they have to drag this thing out as much as possible, if they buff all the champs we have left right now then 8* won't be as interesting.

    I just would like a 7* Vulture, you can save the others for your scheduled release system but please give me Vulture! We need more Sinister Six Seven Stars please.

    8*s are most likely going to be coming eventually. It's only logical if the game is to continue. Not likely soon, but I'm sure they're coming.

    That's exactly how it was with 6* though. We had a ton of 5* left behind for a long time.

    I’m not sure where you’re getting buffs from, no one is talking about that topic here?

    Why would they release any of the champs that are left without any tune ups when most of them are completely useless and extremely outdated?
    Therefore they need to be buffed first so they can actually be released, hence my question if they buff all of them before 8* then who will they buff when 8* come around?

    It was obviously a few years ago now, but I don’t recall the release cadence being anywhere near as slow as it is for 7*’s currently.
    I believe that's by design, they want to prolong the release to introduce a new Rarity later than previously.
