AW Multiple duplicate defenders

The alliance I am currently facing has 6 Hyperions... 5 Magiks, 5 Mordos.

6 is a little over kill... is it possible to institute a “penalty”, get negative points for posting the same character so many times? You get extra points for diversity, you should get negative points for multiple copies of 1 character in 1 BG.

Maybe have a limit of 3 max of 1 champ per BG... cause it’s really boring to see 6 hypes, 5 Magiks, 4 mordos all in one BG. At that point it’s just sandbagging, and annoyingly repetitive

    I'd love to see 6 Hyperions and 5 Mordos. They are easy kills if you practice using the right champs.

    And there is a penalty system in place if you think about it...that is what defender diversity is supposed to help with. Assuming both alliances cleared 100% of every map then your alliance would win on diversity. The only drawback would be if they get more defender kills and that evens out their lack of diversity. Either way keep practicing against those champs.

    Do you want kabam just to give you the win no matter what? Alliances are free to place whoever and how many of each they want. They sacrfiace diversity points in doing so. I bet their strategy is aimed at limiting attack bonus by placing champs that will get tons of kills. Its part of a strategy. Because you dont like it, means its probably working. Maybe get better a beating these champs or stop playing AW all together.

    I said it’s boring lol... how do you associate that with me having a problem? Or, “maybe get better”. I destroyed the 2 hyps I faced but you seem to think I need to “get good” lol. Typical troll. You’re probably one of those guys who still hits Mordo when he’s stunned haha

    If that’s a good “defenselive strategy” I think YOU need to get good lol. Like @420sam said... it’s easy kills.

    Then what are you complaining about? If it's boring or easy, then take the easy win. Be happy you won't have to use or spend money on revives and potions. The opponents strategy didn't work, great for you. Not many alliances will do this sort of thing all the time.

    I'm one of those guys who hits Mordo when he's stunned. :) Works too, just ask Drax or Iceman.

    There's also a built in season points penalty for not having high diversity. Over the course of 7 weeks in the season this will add up to something in the 5 digit range most likely.

    They hand you the automatic win and you complain?

    It’s clear you don’t understand the mechanics of AW scoring. Please get with your officers and leader and study the scoring system and how the other team forgoes diversity points when bringing many duplicates.

    I'd rather see attacker diversity scoring than more focus on bringing useless champs just for defense diversity.

    It was just a suggestion though.

    Earn negative point deduction for multiple copies of the same heroes.

    Judging by all their bgs. They must have watched seatins vid and each individual put up those heroes lol

    So really, you want to just increase the weight applied to diversity to thus penalize non-diverse battle groups? I'd be fine with that, as I really do like anything that promotes using the whole spectrum of champs rather than just the few Gods.

    Took me awhile to figure out exactly what OP wanted.

    1 NC - Full diversity
    2 NC - 1 less Diversity
    3 NC - 2 less Diversity
    4 NC - 3 less Diversity PLUS a penalty.
    5 NC - 4 less Diversity PLUS a bigger penalty.

    I personally don't agree, but I think this clears up OP a little.

    Eventually this will end as more and more alliances realize that diversity score impacts the total season score and defender kills do not.
