He never left. Except he's only a 4*. Besides that he's great!
Not contradictory at all if you read that i said among 4*s. I do think he is more useless now when it comes to AQ, Like he has been for a long time now in AW and not to useful in act 5 either. If you go back to my original argument, you would see that wolvy is the example I used since he is the most popular 4* aq champ. Same can be said for damage output if you're talking about vision or the 4* rogue too, or ultron.I don't really care what weak 4* you refer to. My point was that the timers just aren't long enough when using 4*s. Is that clearer for you?
Ya, it wouldn't be that bad if the game worked properly and fairly. Hard content isn't a problem but an unfair game is.
In my alliance we don’t do things that way. We each have our path and use champs according to that path. And really only one guy NEEDS to bring a bleed immune. Many bring ultron cuz he regens but maybe you wouldn’t bring a bleed immune if you didn’t have him. I’ve never brought a bleed immune champ simply because my best and only option is vision and his durability is low. I prefer a champ that regens. Many do. More so given that my path is immunes and I take block damage.
The point is, what happens when you don’t have a bleed immune champ other than Colossuss. You’re not going to defeat the boss. It just won’t happen. And maybe that’s the way it should be. Some guys always taking some minis while others a different mini.
Maybe it’s teamwork that they are after.
I for myself would like a difficult champ but beatable. Morningstar is not always beatable. NC and GG are. I’d be disappointed if I couldn’t beat a mini for bad luck (not having certain champs) instead of bad skills.
4* 5/50 have the same challenger rating as 5* 3/45 albeit slightly less health. The fact that the majority of the player base doing map 5 can’t get many rank 4 5* means that 4* are still viable options for most players. Pretending otherwise is wrong, especially since wolv is so good with his regen.
Also if you can’t beat NC without Iceman then again that’s more your own problem.
Listen... I think Kabam would get a **** load less slack if they were just honest...
"We have noticed a decline in our profits from AQ. As such, because we are a business, and our primary focus is on making money, we need to make the maps harder because the community has stronger rosters now."
It's insulting to us that you come on here and tell us that "it's not harder" when it demonstrably is. @DNA3000 has a great post in this thread describing how.
After 12.0 the company "apologized" and promised more transparency. Yet the changes since including this latest one, show the opposite is true.
......
Oh, look new rifts to distract everyone from this debacle! Let's just pretend this didn't happen. Classic Kabam.
I am not just talking about me,, i am talking about all the players at my level, those only have 4,5 champs at rank 5 4*. So when u rank up your champ what things you consider first?? Either this champion will help me in aq or aw or you just rank up any champion??? And top players having issues dealing against nc. Its not only my problem. If you have a good roaster and you are at level 60, and have good 5* champ, than my post was not for you
You're kind of missing the point, lots of older players ranked for prestige first and didn't even use those champs because they weren't good aq attackers. Back then you would run r4 4* because those were better than you're r5 prestige champs.
It sucks that they are upgrading mid season, but keep in mind, a new season is coming which we all know will have another increase in difficulty. They are just introducing it in two parts instead of one major shift to try to keep the uproar down.
Buddy in my alliance,, in my friends alliance,, in my friend’s friend alliance .. we all rank up only those champions first that help us in aq and aw.. we are not at a level where we consider presitge first,, you are missing a point that i am talking about level 30 to 55
So basically i am talking about 70 to 80% people ,, and you are representing 10 to 20 top players
I have a R3 Agent Venom and could R4 him as he’s a good counter for Void, but that’s my call to make and I’ll have to live with the consequences whenever Void is replaced. If they replace Void with another champ who AV is nowhere near as good against I can’t really complain.
I am going to do the same,,, we worked on these champs that we upgraded and it took 1 and half year of your life.. and now kabam is saying those champs are useless,,, start that work from the begining,, and funny thing is they are not giving any good 5* ... people are geting antman,, duck,, duck,, and only usefull champions you got they are going to be trash
So what’s the alternative? Kabam aren’t going to keep the same enemies forever and they’re not going to keep releasing content based on what players have ranked over a year ago. The game’s never worked like that. It’s an endless cycle of releasing counters to champs then counters to those counters and so on.
I don’t have Blade myself but at some point there’ll be new champs who will counter him and then there’ll be new champs who counter those.
Will the changes be more difficult? Probably. If you're arguing that it won't, then you just don't have the foresight, but again, that's not the main point.
Will the changes require players to rank up different champions? Most likely.
Do most of these players have viable options to rank up? Probably not.
Do most of these players have the resources to rank up these options if they happen to have viable options? Probably not.
Have the AQ rewards been insufferably outdated? Absolutely.
Has Kabam given a timeline as to when these rewards will be changed or any specific information on what these changes will look like? Absolutely not.
Has Kabam been rightly criticized of not being transparent and being sensitive to the needs of the community? Absolutely.
Then why are we not getting more transparent communication about these outdated rewards?
Furthermore, why does it take so much effort to modify these outdated AQ rewards, especially considering that they had the time to introduce these new AQ changes?
You can nitpick each of the subpoints above, but that would be missing the main point. The main point is that all of the subpoints above are real issues to most of the players in this community, and Kabam has not addressed them according to the severity of these issues.
After grinding really hard to be a boss killer in a top 150 alliance (AQ and AW) while only having played for 11 months, I'm really at a loss for words and feeling very unmotivated to continue on.
