Developers Thoughts: Improving Alliance Wars Discussion Thread
This discussion has been closed.

Greetings summons, we know we are handicapping your top champs in the most expensive game mode with the top resources in the game. We've heard your feed back an decided to send Kelly Anne Conway out... I mean grounded wisdom to try an spin this into something great.
Cant believe you are moving forward with this concept as is.
Every single paragraph in this post ecept the first has completely flawed logic
2. Giving the alliances the power to chose the node wont bring variation to alliance wars. There will always be a node that counters the most comon use offensive champs the most, and thats the one each alliance will use. Expect nodes that counters blade and corvus, all the time, every war.
3. Unless we get enough rank up material to r5 a 5* champ every month it wont be enough. The rate the AW will change just doesn’t allign with the current game meta. The main concern is that AW will be changing faster than the players can adapt.
4. More buffs means higher difficulty no matter how much you sugar coat it and try to make it about variation
5. The concept is scary becuase it allows the game devs to bait switch the game every month. Awoke my corvus r5 him spent lots of sig stones now because of this global buff i cant use him.
I’m all for keeping the game fresh but this is just a terrible idea. Why not focus on buffing weak champs and nerfing OP ones? Why reinvent the wheel like this smdh
That’s the best summary of what they actually did I’ve read.
No, that's the perception. People think because they Ranked him, everything revolves around him. A Tag comes out, it's called a nerf. A Node comes out, that's a nerf too. He isn't the cornerstone for every decision in the game, and if the game is going to last, no Champ will dominate forever.
What about off season cheating/piloting then?
Hey There,
I think you missed the part that we said "Now, this is the first time we’re doing this, and we’ll be monitoring their performance during the Preseason to ensure that they are not overzealous. If we find that they are having too large of an effect, we will act accordingly."
We're going to keep an eye on this, and if we need to act between the preseason and the start of the season, we will.
But seriously adding a global bleed immune is just over the top considering how many bleed champs are now sidelined for this season of AW now.
Add in that you already Broke Drax by making him slide backwards when an autoevader evades and he comes in for his medium hit, you now take away the last useful bit from him in AW which is is ability to do good bleed damage.
You're making good heroes in middle-sized heroes.
Congratulations Kabam. This is just like defenders diversity. Everybody warned you already...you keep going your way. Nice discussion.
You do realize people treat Preseason Wars very differently than regular season wars correct? Some alliances tank to manipulate war ratings, most people don't boost or heal, some use subpar champs to keep others free for AQ/Story/EQ. The data won't begin to tell the real story.
You made an entire Meta much less effective. This is going to cost everyone more for the same rewards.
Just because you gave us a heads up doesn't mean this is good communication.
Nope... Kabam made up it's mind, and it's not till they see an impact on their sales will they made a change... So again, we have to go through the cycle of "We told it was a bad idea before your implemented this" before they come in with Oh Geeze, we thought were going to make this fun and exciting, and we missed the mark...
If Allies are Tanking, that's their choice. Find it hard to sympathize with the fact that that they won't get to test the Nodes .
I'm willing to bet he saw it.
Maybe you're missing the part many are getting sick and tired of going through this cycle of "let's see how this goes first before we actually do something meaningful."
A good version of this change, make the mini bosses bleed immune... leave the rest as is....
Wasn't my point at all. But I know that you just post on here to disagree with everyone.
You can't truly gauge how something will effect AW seasons by looking at data from the preseason. Alliances approach preseason much differently.
Exactly this @Kabam Miike. You guys will need to keep an eye throughout the season itself as well in order to get a more accurate picture. And do please do something to eliminate alliances manipulating their war rating during the war season. As others have suggested, make it such that war rating doesnt change during the off season.
This season we're going to see female champs do some crazy things. Should be fun.
This is really an attempt to make Spidergwen seem useful in AW attack.
Leave it to Brian grant to only look at one half of the coin.
Honestly, they almost did it lol. I dont have the balls to do it, but I hope someone records some Spidergwen R4 gameplay this season. The 25% alone probably isnt enough for her, but I think in a class advantage situation it could be.
First point is not correct.
Second point is another issue entirely. The manipulation of Rating during Off-Season is another issue in and of itself. If Allies want to know what to expect, they'll pretty much have to run it before. They also have the data from Seasons previous, so it's not as if it's a blind guess what people are capable of. The suggestion was actually made on here to run Nodes in the Off-Season so it's not so much of a pressure. Again, I don't have much sympathy for the fact that people are busy manipulating the system.
well it could be because you rank up a champ now to be useful this season, but then find they are useless the next season
