Rank down tickets in store

First of all, this is not meant to be getting negative. I’m going to express my opinions, and I would love to see your opinions too.
With all of the requests we have had on the forums for rank down tickets, it’s pretty obvious that the community want these, for pretty fair reasons too. I understand that you guys at Kabam feel that these are very strong and fear that you would flood the game with these if introduced, and so am going to try to offer a different viewpoint.
I feel that there are three main reasons for using rank down tickets, but if you guys feel there are others please do not hesitate to mention them.
1) Mistakes- These are obviously the weakest arguments, but they still hold ground. In the beginning of the game it is very easy to rank up a weak champion because you are unaware of others that are stronger.
2)Power creep- There is no arguing that, In general, the newer champions often have unique utility or abilities (like Wasp’s quantum evade or Iceman’s triple immunity). This would not make it easier for the player base to get stronger champions, but would make it easier for players who do get these outclassing champions like IMIW, Domino, Corvus etc. to rank them up.
3) Reacting- this would make it easier for the player base to deal with changes to AW, AQ and the way the game functions (Drax’s double hits no longer bypassing Mordo for example), allowing larger scale changes to be more palatable than they are currently.
I feel there is also a benefit to Kabam in offering these, as they could definitely cause players like myself who otherwise spend very infrequently to purchase a little more every now and then to get a RD ticket. You could offer them for maybe 300-800 units for a 4*, and around 700-1300 for a 5* (but have them unusable on rank 5 5*s) very fairly which would reduce demands for gifts of tickets, without swamping the market.
Those are my thoughts, and I would love to know your views on this

While Kabam will never do anything about this, and most others on the forum will just tell you not to bother, I applaud you sharing your well-thought-out logic here and giving Kabam yet one more chance to hear a reasonable argument from another Summoner about why this could be done in a controlled way.
Yes @Webby72. Dont pay attention to this guy offending you. It is ok. I do not see anything wrong with a suggestion. We all summoners have freedom of speech!!!
Not
Look at my situation:
Rank 5 5* medusa
R5 5* sparky
R4 5* blade
R4 5* iceman
R4 5* ghost rider
R4 5* yellowjacket
Who do you think i want to rank down?
Yellowjacket.
He was my first r4 5*, mainly because he was naturally duped and I had no other options at the time. It wasn't a bad decision. I'd like to recieve just 1 ticket to rank him down so i can bring up a champion that will help me more. Is there anything wrong with that? Rank down tickets aren't illegal drugs. It makes sense that they would be a purchasable item in the game.
The only reason i see as an argument against them is that they would give players too much roster flexibility, which could be fixed with purchase cooldowns or a sizeable cost in units.
They also arent for re-using earned resources on a whim.
Sure, ranking up is an important decision but so is spending a large amount of units that could be used for potions on a rank down ticket. Is reclaiming the resources worth all those units? If you don't need the tickets, don't buy them.
Plus, this is a mobile game. It's not like your decisions in this are important to your life anyway.
But you shouldn't need the ticket if you are making good choices either right?
Some didn't really have good choices. One of my r4 choices was over expiring t2ac a month before they upped the amount you're able to hold at lvl60. RDT would be much appreciated
So the champ you ranked is 100% useless? You don't use them period at all ever or can't use them at all ever?
How about making rank down ticket shards. Everytime you finish uncollected you get 6,000 rank down ticket shards. Meaning in one year you can collect 2. This rank down tickets wont be generic and just a random ticket like a T4cc. Also this rank dow ticket will only work for 4/55 champs.
How does this affect the game in any way, in fact it will make the player base very happy!!!
Let's not get too crazy on the price or period at which you could obtain a rdt.
I was thinking more along the lines of adding it to the daily log in system rewards.
For every full month you log in you get a credit or shard of some sort. After getting 4 you can rank down a 4*. After 5 you can rank down a 5*. Once you use it starts back to zero.
They could also put an expiration timer of 1 month on them so no one hordes and changes their entire roster. Won't have a major impact on the game.
