Kabam’s biggest mistake

Been playing since Dec of 2014. The point of the game is to acquire new and better champs and strengthen your team. But the champion pool is so diluted now with obsolete champs that the motivation to grind or spend is gone. I opened four Blade feature crystals. No Blade. Yesterday I opened a five star and a six star crystal. Pulled 5* She Hulk and 6*DD. The last useful crystal opening I had was duping Quake 5* and that was months ago.
I don’t intend this as a rant or whine. I just think that Kabam should know that someone who has been hooked on this game for 3 1/2 years is losing interest fast because crystal openings are 90+% disappointing now and there is no fun in that.
I’m in a retirement alliance now with 15 other veteran players who feel the same. If Kabam doesn’t buff some of the old champs or increase the odds of pulling useful champs from crystals, I think they will see interest in this game decline more and more. Sad. This was such a great game.

You spend time and $ to upgrade your champs to be better than others and beat the opponent, but the problem is, Kabam is upgrading the opponent all the time, so you always get back to square one. Remember, when you had that maxed 4* and you thought you were king, but then Kabam always evens it out with champs like 5* then when you upgrade to 5* they introduce 6*...it's a never ending cycle... 7* next?
Every year goal posts get moved around and we get reset back to the start. After a while, it's like what's the point anymore???
If Kabam buffs ghe old champs and does no nerfs as well as fix their constant bugs they would stop losing so many. There should always be champs that are much better than others, but there shouldnt be any you are pissed to get. I dont need every pull to be AA, Iceman, Blade, DV etc. i woukd be happy with NC, AV, cable, YJ, Gulllotine, drax etc. but DPX, Jane Foster, Carnage, she hulk etc are demorilizing.
I say 7* champs in 2020
Basic arena used to be a great way to get useful 4* champs--over nearly two years, I nabbed every 4* available as a basic. The attraction was simple: I was in control, able to get specific champs with a consistent amount of effort and build my roster and my teams for specific content. Scores went up and down, but seasoned arena players had a decent idea what it would take to get the basic. And let's bear in mind...I'm talking about the "basic" here, a champ who had been out for some time, not the hot, new featured 4*. Basic arena helped out the average player and the veteran alike, not the top tier grinders placing on the featured leaderboard. All in all, it was pretty egalitarian.
However, with the decline of utility of most 4*'s (emphasis on "most"--a select few are still useful) and the advent of the 5* arenas, there really isn't an analogous arena opportunity.
Are featured 5*'s obtainable? Sure, but the points and time required are prohibitive for all but the most dedicated grinder with the largest roster and/or wallet.
There isn't a 5* basic arena, but 5* shards are available for those who are unable or unwilling to put up massive points, and that's the rub--shards grant a "RNG chance" at an ever-increasing pool of 5*'s, not an actual 5* (and the shards available are well short of a full 5* anyway). Anyone who has played this game for more than a minute understands the RNG odds are not in your favor, not ever--no matter how much the game team suggests otherwise.
So, the ability of the player to influence specifically what he gets as an arena prize--in my opinion, something that enhances player satisfaction--is rendered pretty much non-existent, apart from the small pool of players who put up punishing numbers for a featured 5* or those who are still chasing 4*'s.
Which is why T4b and alpha arenas are pretty much all I run these days.

Thank you--that is one of my primary issues with the game as it exists today. Yet another example: Rifts look great...until you wind up with a 1* chest every time you run them. Most of us who have played 3+ years understand the hype is pure puffery and mistrust the RNG system completely even as the game team makes more and more of the game subject to it.

I used to be in the same boat of grabbing the basic hero every week but even before the recent arena changes I stopped going for every champ since they were only going to 3/30 (if that) and not being used at all.
Right now I’m grinding the 5* arena to make top 10% and get 2k 5* shards which isn’t nearly as satisfying. If it wasn’t for alliance gold and BC requirement I would be selective of those as well.
You can dismiss everything I said though, because Kabam are greedy PIGS whose greed have no bounds. Kabam want to keep making more and more and more money, even if it is TOXIC to the game. Don’t let kabam grab your tits and milk the $$$ out of you!!!
I don't see Carnage. You have no grounds for compliants.
