16.6 million and no featured. What is happening.

Can someone please explain how this cutoff system work?

There is no cutoff system. The top 800 get the featured. The top 10% get the basic. We players report cutoffs as if the score is meaningful, but it is only meaningful indirectly: it tells us how desirable that champion was. It helps us guess, if we are smart, how desirable other champions might be. But it is not a genuinely real target.

If they report the winner of a marathon finished with a time of two hours thirty minutes, that does not mean if you were able to run it in two hours twenty nine minutes you would have won. Because the winner would have seen you catch up and could have sped up. Everyone guesses how much points is necessary and shoots for whatever they fell will win. Some are right, some are wrong. The cutoff tells you who was wrong.

And those guys that were wrong this time? Some of them are going to try harder next time. That's what makes cutoffs move up and down.

He's a heck of a champ. That is a bummer that score was not enough.

That really sucks. I was lucky enough to win him. From a wallcrawler crystal that is.

Can we please add a title for 2nd and 3rd place? Like Almost Got Him?

Kabam must subscribe to the school of thought of Ricky Bobby..."If you ain't first, you're last."

BTW, awesome job @X_Scott

The guy that got 1st has titles for winning 1st multiple times, and has insane streak of almost 1000. Maybe bots, who knows. I know I refreshed a hell of a lot

Thank you. I will never spend 3 days doing that again though. Completely miserable

With Great Power comes Great Responsibility. With Slightly Less Power comes This T-Shirt.

Congrats on new spidey at least! How much did you score? How many matches? And how many units did you drop?

Also, I don't blame you for not wanting to do it again. I placed 780 and am burnt out, can't imagine how you're feeling.

Arenas are shifting back to the 18-19M cutoff. There really should be a better way of receiving the featured. A member in my alliance got ~16.1M and didn't get spidey. Another got 16.99M and got rank 795. There needs to be a milestone or something.

There is a better way to get the featured. Wait. The top 800 that get the featured the first time around are fighting for the privilege of getting those champions before everyone else. But eventually they show up as a basic reward where over 10,000 players get a shot at them. Eventually they show up again. I duped my Starlord by putting up 10 million on day two, and I was a million high. If I had put in about the same effort on day two, I could have had Iceman a few months ago, but instead I'll just shoot for him when he comes back around again.

Gwenpool went for 14 million back in January. She's not going to get anywhere near that in the basic. So you put up 14 million and get her in January, or you put up 6 or 7 million and get her in July. I think that is more than fair.

You can thank Seatin and other Youtubers who spent to get him from crystals, posted vids of him and showed the world how godly he is.

First round cutoff was 15.3 mil. Once everyone discovered how unbelievably stupendous he is, they all had to have him.

Unfortunately, I'm in your boat OP. I realized how great he was going to be the first time I saw him in the Stark quests. I just didn't have the time the first round. This round, I put 16.3 mil and fell short.

Am I angry, yes! After playing this game for two years I still don't understand why Kabam thinks people either 1) need to have no life to have the latest and greatest or 2) have an open wallet with a direct link to Kabam's bank account.

Will I quit, probably not, I'm already planning on saving 5* star shards for when he comes back in five star crystals. He'll be well worth the wait.

You are essentially describing all competitions with a limited number of awards.

The difference being, this is a game, not a sport, not an esport or a poorly designed one. Esports are based on skill, not expendable income. Sports or contests like this, in general are based on skill, not expendable income (unless you're talking the lotto).

If it's a competition, it needs to be a level playing field.

These statements are wrong on so many levels that it's really hard to argue.

I seriously wouldn't have grind for him but I opened all of my five star featured crystals (6 total, 75k shards) and DID NOT get him. I was saving to dupe iceman but i opened 1, didn't get him, then thought "he has to be next" until I ran out. That forced me into arena. I think arena should give the top 1% the featured. 800 is not enough for what it takes to get a 4 star. My streak was around 450s with constant boosts and refreshing with units on last day
