You're absolutely right, and the answer to you question would be - Kabam didn't think it through. One moderator said it in a flippant comment and it's cascaded down through so many groups since. Our group is no where near the top of the leaderboard in war anyway, but we were working on bulking up. Once I saw this, we basically said "nah, we're good, it's clear this is just a cash grab and nothing more now, and that confirmed it." Either way you take that statement is truly terrible - and once again the implications of a comment or decision Kabam made has unintended and illogical thought, with negative consequences. The game is designed for every other aspect to complete 100%. War has always been about this too. NOW suddenly it's changed, and you are just supposed to know when to stop now? Makes perfect sense in Kabam logic. but not in human logic. And if that truly is the goal for them it's completely unsustainable and won't last. They'll just throw more wrenches into everything, like it's been happening for the last year since they changed war anyway.

Today's war.
I mentioned hyperion was easy on that node. Fight medusa 5/65 with sig 100 and make a new video.
Basically they want us to spend units on heals and to not get the more shards with the completion bonus We need to pay to get it
I will reiterate the point though, complaining will get us nowhere and other than quitting (which let's be honest, a lot of us won't do) the best option would be to work together on how to deal with specific champs on specific nodes.
I’d love to know who you fought and who you fought them with.
Or a 5/65 Medusa. Which I’ve had twice. Not a chance lol
Hmm. Couldn’t help but notice you’d taken 3 5* either rank 5 or 4 duped champs on that path. Lost Void and almost lost Iceman before even getting to node 30. And for a 700k player that should indicate how insane it is. As someone said above not everyone has that luxury of 5/65 Magik et al champs to bring with what MD4? And still that node was only easier due to it being Hyp.
Trying to turn war into a place for end game content (read: spendfest) which is what it seems like they’re trying to do is fundamentally flawed. And having nodes that are not CURRENTLY available anywhere else in the contest to practice on (regardless of whether they’ve been in one dungeon MONTHS ago) is just a recipe for unmitigated disaster.
The design of the map is a pyramid at top or like a mountain. Human nature is to scale any mountain just like Everest because it is there. May as well chop off the top (no boss) and call it a Cornetto...
Curious which champ you used?
Then don't start war lol. Or do 1 BG for people that want it, but agree to not spend items.
But I do agree. No node should be harder than the boss node. And if Kabam is going to go that route, then it should be on an unnecessary path so it only has to be taken down for exploration.
This reminds me of the Sentinels when they were first added to AQ before they were nerfed a bit. They were harder than the minibosses and harder than Dorm. Dorm I could solo. Sentinels not so much (though I'm not sure that would be the case now since I've got used to them a bit). But still the final boss should be the biggest challenge not a miniboss or other node along the way.
I hope Kabam makes this right
Magik was unboosted. I don’t use boosts for war lol.
Medusa? I’ll post one if I get a Medusa on that node then. Soloed one 2 wars back.
Lost my R4 Void to a R4 Morningstar on 24. This pissed me off enough to R5 him today when Science Advancement was on. Almost lost Iceman to Wasp on 18 with Stun immune and Bane cause I’ve never fought her before. That shock + bane, interesting.
Like I said, people just need to adjust instead of whining about changes. I used to bring Blade GR Magik for path 9. After the new nodes, my BG (and ally) did some reassignments of paths to figure out who best to handle the new minis.
Anyway, easy with a Hyperion on node 30? Lol. Check out how many posts there are about people complaining about Hyp on it.
Opponents were Magik Medusa Medusa.
Blade, Starlord, Magik respectively.
Yeah if everybody adjusted and brought their 5/65 Magik to node 30 it would be easy peasy. I wonder why everyone doesn’t just do that. 🤔
Cause everyone was just chasing the meta and ranking their Blades. Lol.
My ally mates clear that node with Spark, SL etc.
Easier with Hype on 30 when you bring a strong Magik for it, because, well, that's how it should go for choosing attackers. I agree most need to not auto-join and move on their usual paths in middle, and take a look at who is on the subs, and then make arrangements to swap lanes with someone who has the right champ for the job. But it might take a while to figure out the best counters for certain champs there, and it kinda sucks to only be able to practice that fight in a live war, ha.
I do dislike the node, and feel it has one too many buffs on it. And I also dislike starting a fight vs Magik there and she starts with a Furied Limbo going due to Power Start 1, heh. No one in my BG (or alliance, actually), has a strong Gulk for that situation. The new nodes have certainly shifted my ranking priorities from just defenders to having a wider variety of potential attackers.
Also, that Wasp you fought, was she a pain who just refused to do her heavies?
This is how I fight Medusa this node. Had a 5* 5/65 Medusa on the node today and it makes it much easier if you know how to play without having to rely on parry. I will say though I have 5/65 Magik and know how to use her. A high level Morningstar with 3+ souls would take her down even faster. A high level Void can take nearly any champ placed on this node.
I will agree however that it requires a high skill cap and a very advanced roster that's typically not found outside of Tiers 1-2. I'm surprised they extended the minis as many tiers down as far as they did.
also I am in a pretty relaxed and chill ali, so no big drama if somebody dies in war or skips AQ. so basically what you need is either to find an ali with less requirements (but then have less rewards), or accept the fact war can be hard. it's supposed to be a challenge, you know, right?
Yes and she evaded me despite cold snap being on. Weird. Maybe I just missed my cold snap timings but will test it out when she becomes more popular on defense.
And yes, a wider range of attackers is usually better but defenders shouldn’t be neglected as well. I run a full 5* r4 and 6* defender team and have quite a few champs to use on attack as well.
Anyway, I ranked Magik instead of Blade because I knew I could use her in way more scenarios than I could use Blade. Blade was just flavor of the day and everyone knew he was OP for the 6-8 months he was introduced for the state of war at that point of time. A simple cornered node will wreck him unless someone is very skilled in using him.
True enough that you can’t practise on that node without being in war. But no one said it was easy or cheap to get good and learn how the node works and ways to counter it.
