I don't mind that much only because even a free to play player such as myself at uncollected level can get enough for one in about 3 and a half months and these guys are actually decent for a first pool.
It's really disappointing to hear this announcement. Why? Most players expected a slow drip of 6*s being added to the pool, just like the original 5* pool. We thought our 5*s had more time for use before being devalued.
The fact that there are 6 star champions like Gulk, Morningstar, Void in the new feature crystals tells us that the march towards 6*s is way too fast.
It also implies that there may be some very good if not God Tier champions added to the basic sub-section of the next 6* feature crystal, and it also implies that 6* Features Grandmaster Crystals are on the horizon as well.
This couldn't be any worse for 5 stars. There's no sense anymore investing Tier 2 Alphas into 5*s anymore when their 6* counterpart can, and most likely will, be added to the 6* crystal relatively very soon. Which means no sense taking any 5 stars to rank 5 anymore either when a rank 2 6* will beat those stats by a noticeable margin. 5's are basically being replaced by 6's now. All that work this past year to hoard shards for awesome 5* pulls were in hindsight a giant waste of time.

I didn't like this news.
Yet people say 4* aren't the new 3*? 😆 People are in denial!

Correct.
4*s are now the new 3*s and 5*s are the new 4*s. The meta has been changed.
The impending 6*s are too strong not to invest into and 5*s have already reached their very short lived peak. The game has shifted to r2ing 6*s over r4ing 5*s.
This 6* featured hero Crystal should not be introduced with the same champs from the original pool from January. These should be all new champs.
I would be very upset to get a champ that is out in the current pool, but had to spend and extra 5k shards for that champ. There are only 9 new champs and 15 from the original 24 that are in the feature. So the luck of getting one of the featured ones, the odds are more likely against you.
the problem with six star is that we don't get enough six star hards its take a really long time to build up 15k 6 star shards. so i would love for kabam to give us more chances to get 6 star shard and t2 alphas.
yes i can have 1 6* per month , its too slow for me need 1 6* per week like 5* actually
How can you have 1 per month? Are you duping every 5*, opening time of grandmaster/featured grandmaster duping 5*. Uncollected is 2500 per month so somehow you need make up 7500 shards across dupes, AW, Arena grinding.

Tier 1 AW alliances can get 3600 6* shards per month by winning all of their AWs for that month. Arena can give 800+ 6* shards per week, 3200 shards there. 3600 + 3200 makes 6800, so you’d only need 700 more 6* shards a month to pull 1 6* champion per month.
Factor in not working a full time job and/or spending $1000s-$10000s per month and that’s easily doable.

That is why i am waiting for 7 stars!!!
So your 6* shards are just going to sit there until 7*s come out?
I don't know many people saying 5* are useless but 4* ARE the new 3*. 3* used be 2 stars below the top star champ you could pursue, 5* champs. Now 4* are 2 stars below the top star champ you can get, 6*. Plus, while 4* are still powerful, 3* god tier champs were usable when 5* first came out. So, yes 4* are essentially the new 3*.
My line of reasoning goes for end-game players so it doesn't apply to most players.
In any given time there are 3 categories of champions rarity.
-Cutting edge
-Mainstream
-Past
Right now:
-6*s are cutting edge
-5*s are mainstream
-4* are the past
With the 6* feature crystal coming and them adding a lot of great champions in there, AND the implication that there will be more god tier champions in future basic subsections of the pool, AS WELL as 6* Feature Grandmaster crystals most likely coming in as well, 5*s are no longer worth investing Tier 2 Alphas into.
A rank 2 6* will have more stats that a rank 5 5*. If you're a end-game player it doesn't make good sense to invest rare Tier 2 alphas into a 5* when you can rank the same champ but in a 6* version.
In my opinion, Kabam killed the value of 5*s by announcing the 6* star feature, because we all though that 6*s would be released very slowly over time, but they're not.
4*s are dead for end-game players, 5*s are dying commodity, 6*s are where rare resources should be going into.
Last summer before 6*s were announced, 3*s were the past, 4* were the mainstream, and 5*s were the cutting edge.
Every time Kabam announces higher rarity champions (7*s, 8*s, whatever), it devalues the previous ones because of Challenger Rating.

we hadn't even the time to see 2 rank 5 5* in a profil now they are going to be past by . this is wrong . the only jump right was between 4* and 5* .. also making 6* rank 1 in a high level like a 5* rank 4 make 5*s even worthless as peoples spended tier 2 alpha to rank those up it also speed up the rate of 6* being overhelmed by 7* in the end of the year.
i was expecting 6* to requiere alpha 2 and rank 1 of them is 5*s rank 3 not 4 . and to harvest one is atleast 2 months of saving.

Really?
Yet you serve us the same cristals with 6*, and what is the reason for that ? The pool is too big ? We get easily shards ?
Because they don't want to release everyone as a 6-star at once. The same happened to the 5-star crystal when first released
Sentry Lmao 😂😂😂

Never would've thought that not having enough mystic T4CC to r5 Dr. Voodoo could be a good thing

Yup 750 units for a .02% chance to get a 6*. It’s all about the dollars
