Heres an idea Kabam instead of introducing content to nullify overpowered champs and killing off half decent ones in the process why not speed up your revamp of the other 85% of the basic hero base to make a lot more of them viable. Seriously some of them are so underpowered it doesn't matter what you do to AW or AQ they are never going to get used.
Luke Cage Red Hulk Venom revamps all successes why not roll this out faster i am sure we would all like some reason to r2 our 5* she hulks
There's a couple issues I see there. First of all, if you're punching past your capabilities, that's a separate story. I don't mean to pass judgment or imply you're not a good enough Player. I'm just pointing out that if you're struggling against other Allies with much more capable Rosters, then you're going to hit a wall eventually regardless, until you grow more.
Secondly, the one thing I have ALWAYS maintained is when it comes to Ranking, there are no guarantees in War because it's always changing. This is something I've said many times, as the issue comes up constantly. "I Ranked A Champ for B use in War and now they're useless.". War is always changing. There's no guarantee the Champs we rely on now will be just as useful in that mode because inevitably, it will shift after a while.
Side note, X-23 is still quite useful. She might be double-hit from the Female Node, and I get what you're saying, but I'm sure there are other options. At the very least, she Crits with Bleed Immune and Regens. Still very useful other places as well.
I also have 5* x24 and Elektra at rk4. Absolutely brutal, you’re saying that you’re letting us know in advance, but who can come up with the resources to even rank one replacement 5* champ to rk4.
You tried to remove diversity and the outcry from the players forced you into a u-turn as people had ranked up specific champs to keep up with your meta. This announcement at this point in time for next season means anyone who has ranked up bleed champs is effectively in the same boat.
The brush strokes are far too broad here. People saying that you can still use these champs in AQ and EQs are missing the point. You have made AW the most competitive aspect of the game. You guys did that. There are some people who are just about hanging on in their alliance who this will just crush.
I’ll be fine as I’ve got a good roster and I’ve been playing a number of years but I just feel really bad for those who haven’t got multiple r4 champs at that level.
It’s the classic ‘I’m alright jack’ attitude that prevails. I don’t doubt that there were many clever talking heads on the panel, but one of them is alway very quick to comment at some lengths on sample sizes being too small when people complain about drop rates. I don’t see how this is any different.

And any other champions who utilize bleed, sounds to me like your just trying to farm potions/revive from players without actually caring about the player base, that node will ruin so many teams in wars, not just though who rely on blade
AA has been one of the best champs for 1 and a half years so if they want to change the meta they have to do something about him. Putting a bleed immune global node into alliance wars is a way to do that
Bleed immunity - 25% increased dash vulnerable.
This way we could compensate inability to use bleed with skillful gameplay
So what exactly do you suggest as opposed to Global Nodes? There aren't many options to inhibit.
Side note: I never want prove yourself to become a global node, every alliance might just as well take a whole season off if prove yourself ever became a global node as it would be impossible to beat the final boss.
Yes. I would. If the Map changed, I'd use other options. To answer your question, you would no longer use her because she's no longer as effective with the Nodes in place. Sounds simple, but that's the whole point of the change. As for Ranking, you're exactly right. You Rank for as much all-round utility as possible. When you're talking about War, it's always been a changing aspect. Eventually, it will shift. One tactic isn't guaranteed to be effective indefinitely. It's not a piece of content like LOL or Storymode that is fixed. It changes. The same can be said for AQ, although less frequent. The game in general operates that way. There really isn't a Team that will carry you through all content for the durarion of the game. We Rank, use those Champs to earn more Resources, and then Rank more Champs. It takes longer to Rank higher Rarities to higher Ranks, but as we progress, higher Resources become more available. The most ideal way to approach it is to continue to Rank and expand our Roster options so we have enough of a range to meet as many challenges that come. If we're trying to find a God Tier Team that will never be challenged, that will be a losing battle.
It's not just blade thats going to get screwed though, personally I dont use blade in wars, only use him in quests, I have always used archangel on my war attack team, his bleed is awesome combined with poison/neurotoxin, even on poison immune champs/nodes you can still make them bleed dealing out a decent amount of damage, X-23/Sabertooth are also champs I like to use because of the bleed/regen, now they can only regen which is useful sure, but they will no longer be as useful, the same with Killmonger, more crits you hit, more chance you have of bleed damage, will not be useful anymore. Gwenpool is the worst, she deals ALOT of bleed damage from quite alot of stacks, uses said stacks to refresh other abilities like enevate and incinerate. People are moaning about blade sure, but he isn't the only one, there are too many champs that are going to get screwed over by this.
Personally and it’s been said many times here if you want us to use champs that just sit in our roster doing nothing then make them better make the playing field abit more even I’m all for changes to nodes and global nodes but killing bleed in aw means a change in roster for many (not for me I use 4* star lord 4* sw and r4 iceman because I don’t have anything better and I’ve been playing for years)
Didn’t mean to rant I’m just fed up with the constant nerfing of our rosters with small compensations and no increased rewards the only way I’m gonna use my other useless champs is if you make them better takes players months and months to better there mastery’s and champ rosters and you destroy all that hard work every time it’s disgusting and frustrating I’m looking forward to seeing what else you do to screw us in the future I hope you make me want to leave I could use my free time playing xbox or something that don’t get changed after I work hard at it for months
Make a cooldown for champion used on war so you can't use him on the next one (or next two,three) both for offence and defense. That will make players use not 8, but 16 (or 24,32) champs to choose.
the new changes in seasons are becoming intense ( immun to bleed global node ) come on this will make every champ we grinded and saved materials for useless ( Archangel ) is taking a big hit after his last one
1*Amped Up Vs bleed immunity for defenders ! only 5 female champions or less are useful and by useful i
don't mean playable cuz either they have low damage or less to non utilities the only 2 useful female
champions are scarlette which and black widow which u didn't introduce as a 5* versions .
2* unfair playing ? https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/99819/bans-war-rating-
reducing-to-higher-alliances-unfair-matchemaking-to-the-ones-below-them#latest
Identifying offenders was never a problem for you guys punishing them the right way is instead of
disabling their matchemaking you're reducing a little of their ratings ( dead end to legit alliances )
what that means ? someone who cheats will always get better rewards .
IMO Implement A Rank Down ticket with seasons Rewards so we can keep up with your changes they are
becoming more and more severe as you push new champions you are turning ours into useless ones .
you can't expect us to follow every change you make with a happy face bcz it isn't it took us 3 to 4 seasons
to r5 a 5* that you're trying to make obsolete now ?!! Come on you are rushing the game all skill champions will become a joke in wars
Think, if yours opponent alliance investing alot in health pots or boosts for win with each and every fight then how can yours defence kill them.But if kabam restricted them to use unlimited resources then it's a chance to fair competition between two alliance's coz not everyone is whale and not everyone is Grinder like other players.
Solution is Restricted each player to use unlimited resources in Alliance war season.
Suppose if you are Playing Tier 1 alliance war map then you are able to use total 50 items in whole season not 15 in each war.
Same like if you are Playing Tier 2 alliance war map then your are able to use only 45 items in whole season not 15 in each war.
Same like tier 3, tier 2 etc etc.
A resolution to unlimited item usage is to include items used as part of the score. Like you earn less points for using more items.
