The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!

No they don't have any obligation to do so. Its one game mode.
This is pretty insulting...
So you admit that your RNG system sucks and what you do? Once again you change the war system to adapt to a broken system. NICE!
Why don't you AT LEAST avoid to put crappy champions in the featured crystals to solve the problem? AT LEAST!
I have over 60 5s, my newest champ is Doctor Voodoo... Take note on what the real problem is.
As for the nerf situation, yes, it's a nerf but it's temporary. Mystic Dispersion is forever...
That's not even going into how slow it is to rank a champ. You can't change the meta ion MCOC like you can in other games because it's impossible to rank everyone. Go watch a youtube vid of any other big mobile game like this and you'll see the content creators have basically all of their champs maxed out. Then go watch any MCOC end game you tuber and they have 3-4 maxed out champ. In a game where anyone can max out any champ they want in a month or two, meta changes are fine. In a game where it you couldn't even max out one champ for the first 3 years, meta changes are devastating.
You can't have your cake and eat it too Kabam. Either increase the ability to rank champs or stop trying to push diversity.
it only affects the tier 1-5 for now. if you arent uncollected then you probably arent affected
This is exactly it. Having a large roster doesnt matter if you can only max out 3-5. You would only choose the most viable champs to take to max rank. Rank ups are still very important and dependent on the current meta. Chopping and changing means for most players that their champs might get neutered in the next change.
Also, to help breathe life in the lower tier champs, have tier restrictions wars.
You can’t really believe that. So what is it you really want? More whale milking? How is that supposed to work?
My R5 AA will now be useless. Between him and r4 non dupe magik... only two champs I have that help me clear my line in war. Now what am I supposed to do? Leave for a crappy alliance because I can’t clear a line anymore?
Agreed, if you want diversity then you need to make it worthwhile for multiple champs to be worthy of these rare resources. The reason why many bring the same attackers is in two part because first, they ranked him up cause he is the strongest champion in their roster compared to other champs of equal rank, and two, because of this rankup this champion is now the strongest champion in their roster by stats alone.
You need to buff the weaker champions so that they are worthy of being ranked up. Only then will you see more diversity in both attackers and defenders. Resources are too rare to waste them on champions who are fun, but not amazing, over a champion that is by far the strongest available option (aka Godtiers).
I might go out on a limb here, but if you buff a lot of weaker champions and then distribute 1 rank-down ticket, I can assure you you will see a lot more variety in the champions that people will bring into war.
Changes effect Gwenpool a bunch also. She won’t be able to keep her Incinerate , enervate and armor break up for any fight.
Pushing for diversity and then removing the usefulness of a huge pool of champs is a contradiction.
One time they gave them, at Christmas, for the express purpose of preparing for the upcoming year. Once does not constitute a major change in reasoning. They've explained their intended purpose countless times. One gesture on Christmas, and people never stop implying some kind of dishonesty. At the end of the day, they are theirs to do with what they choose.
They've only given them out twice - so yes that one time they gave them out with no related changes to champs is absolutely a major change in reasoning.
At this stage, the RDTs are for three things and three things only - champ changes, preparing for the coming year, and whatever the heck Kabam wants to give them out for. Because Kabam.
They gave them away once and expressed the purpose of them. Later given out another time for a completely different reasoning, suggesting not just for intended purpose that had been mentioned prior to that.
"At the end of the day, they are theirs to do with what they choose." Exactly, and being as you don't work for Kabam I don't understand why I see you spam a sole purpose for them as often as you do.
I would use She Hulk if they gave me a She Hulk-specific 5/65 rank up gem.
Otherwise, I will never use her. Ever. Not even in arenas.
Now Now Guys...
Let's keep it friendly and not turn it into a She-hulk bashing thread..
Would I use her over my 5* r5 Blade? Hell no.. But if used right she's not nearly as bad as she's made out to be..
Basically similar to how the Danger Rooms were, but with a broader range like, "required champions are 4* rank 3 champs", "unduped 5* champs", "maxed 3* skill and mutant champs", "one 5*, two 4*& 3* and one 2* champs" and the like for offense etc.... I cant see how that wouldn't surprise people each war, and also promote using a wider range of champions throughout each season. Just one of a plethora of possible ideas I'm certain.
Granted there are tons of details to be sorted out as with any other idea and it couldn't be an easy task to implement, but "easy fix" doesn't seem to be a likely option in order to acheive what's been stated as the goals for AW.
Twice. Once was for the original stated purpose. Once was a surprise gift at Christmas. Between the time they introduced them and now, the asking has never stopped, and the response has been consistent.
I'm sorry but who implied I work for them? I'm stating the obvious. That's not what they're for, in their own words, and they aren't likely to give them for changes like this, especially when Nodes will be rotated, and that would create an expectation to have them with every change. If the only hope people have to go on for them is a one-time gift 10 months ago, it's pretty safe to say it's not much to go on at all.
can i ask what tier aw your in cause i dont see anything but corvuses taking that path in tier 1. the occaisional magik but she dies more often than not trying to take a r5 km sig 200 on that node which most are sig 200 and all are r5 on 29
maybe in tier 3 and 4 nobody is one shotting that r5 km sig 200 7/10 in tier 1 with a magik, nobody. a good leader wont allow it cause corvus should easily get the 10/10 hence not allowing the magik to take path especially when shes needed on node 30. if your running a magik up path 5 there is also other issues and i can faruntee your not any higher than p2 maybe low p1 but your not competing at the higher lwvels running magik up path 5 regularly yea maybe every couple alliance got 1 guy whos got the magik timing down so well he can one shot her more often than not but corvus is onw shotting him everytime unless he messes up magiks pee has passed shes a poor
ans attacker these days, shes only for those that dont have a sparky blade ghost corvus champion yea her power lock is still nice but her damage is meh compared to alot of the newer champions
