AFKO- Question..

I think this is an alright idea. BUT one question that immediately stuck out to me was the “handicapped for balance” part..

What does that mean ? Who was handicapped and how ? Or are they saying the pool has been handicapped for balance ? Expecting people to just guess what that means and who to spend 100 units on without that information seems like Kabam setting themselves up for outrage.

Vote on this years SuperBowl ! Guess right and you win prizes ! But o yea one of the teams, or both, have been handicapped. Who ? Guess. How ? Guess again. Could be one, some, or all of the players 😁 Good luck !

I am keeping my 100 units, I dont like pfps or titles.

Making the barrier to entry 100 units was a mistake. Who tf is gonna burn 100 units on this when unit costs keep increasing throughout the game?

100 Units isn't much for a simple little bet. I'm down. Just haven't decided who I'll choose yet.

Anotherconcernplayer

I just don't get it, I know we should try out new things, might just be a bit of fun and so on.

But…what…this make so little sense.

Rewards - Unknown

Handicapped - Unknown

Match up - Unknown

Fight - Auto

So what exactly is the information we are based our choice on???

Take away all of game knowledge (who counter who, ect), take away skill (autofight), and take away rewards info.

So an event that strip off all the essence of MCoC, change it to a card game but without stats.

All with a cost of units?

What???

Honestly…what?

I am incredibly confused by a profile picture, which we get flooded with for free, being used as motivation to spend 100 units. I don't know if I've ever been so generally uninterested in something in my life.

Not even hating on the event, just failing to understand why it's supposed to be worth existing.

It is when you get nothing of value back

If I got 200 units back for winning, sure, then it'd be worth it.

I got no idea what the point is, and the rewards are meh, 100 units thats like a full milestone grind in one of the arenas ..

No thanks.

Shamir51

people spend 500 units for pfp’s 🤷‍♂️

SooperSouljer

Yea i mean Units and Rewards aside, they had to see all these questions coming right ? I’m a habitual sports gambler and i couldn’t imagine paying to bet on something is this context. No matchup spread, no information on the handicap.. I mean the ONLY thing you know is who the Champions are. Do they have awakened abilities ? Full kits ? Will Class advantage/disadvantage play a factor ? Idk man.. This is short sighted at best.

Meh, sometimes things are Just fun. It's fun to see if you can pick the winner. Not for everyone I suppose. I've spent Units on worse. I'd rather have fun with them than cursing at some piece of content I'm stuck in.

It could be fun if they provided the necessary meaningful information we need before doing anything in this event

That’s exactly how i feel about it. I’m interested in it for sure ! I’ll be watching the Brawl anyway. And i like betting on weird, niche things. I was just confused about the lack of information. Was hoping for another post going into more detail but since the offer to buy is already in game i thought well, more info isn’t coming.

BigPoppaCBONE

Do you at least get the profile pic shown for your 100 units? Or do you only get something if they win?

I think it said in the message that if your champions wins a round you’ll receive a Title OR Profile picture. Which also doesn’t make much sense lol.. Do i get to pick the “Or” ? Or do they just decide whether to give me a title or pfp.

This is another experiment in their effort to monetize cosmetics. I’m all for it, good stuff Kabam.

GroundedWisdom

I went with Torch. I figured he'd stack up the burn on Auto.

Myrmidon

I don't bet IRL, so I don't see why I should be betting on MCOC, about which champion will prevail in a which is essentially CPU tournament, no less.

I mean, if someone finds this funny, compelling or anything, good for them. But if this is all for fun and laughs, why 100 units as an entry? It's not that those are a lot, especially with the new daily quest system: I just don't see why making players spend units at all, for this.

Slig

I can’t believe people are spending 100 units for the chance to win a title.

This makes no sense to me if the 100 units doesn't even get you the profile pic of the champ you're backing when you buy. Seems like throwing away units for nothing. Who signed off on this?

Do this for 10 units or so. 100 units is showing that you try to steal our stash right before CW deals. This is supposed to be a fun little trinket, not just another trap.

They got enough time to do this kind of **** but can not repair their mistakes since years.

I am guessing its to prevent match ups like Human torch vs a mystic, but if thats the case its already rigged in my opinion.
