I loved the event. Loved the challenged. It tested my skill to the limit. It made rank specific champions to beat it. What an amazing Quest. Lets hope Kabam makes Act 6 a notch harder than Variant but easier than the Maze.

So far I've done an initial run through on one account as well as 100% chapter 1 on both accounts.
The rewards justify the effort and challenge, but the single most important thing to me is you can break it down into bite size chunks. That's one of my pet peeves about LoL! Aside the rewards looking a little dated in LoL, the time commitment to completing paths is not condusive to my playtime around aw,aq and free time.
I like that it's more team focussed, can't rely on one to carry you through propped up by synergies like with many LoL fights. Definitely encourages you to rethink future rank ups which is refreshing.
Good job Kabam, more variant type events please.
Why was this flagged exactly?
Gladiator Hulk is needed for that. I agree. Unavoidable damage sucks.
Overall, I liked the structure of the maze. It featured newer champs with nodes to accentuate their natural abilities. It felt like a step up from ROL. The only problem was the underwhelming rewards. If they fixed that, I'd be down for a new maze every few months.
Back to variant, I agree with what's already been said. Degeneration nodes need to go. Unavoidable damage needs to go. Infinity blast can be mitigated with certain classes. Starburst has a reliable counter in Gulk. Incinerates, Shocks, Bleeds, and Poisons all have immune champs. Degeneration doesn't have any such counters. It's lazy. Don't use it anymore.
And if they do make Variant an annual event, I'd love to see 2016 gems as the rewards for next year. And 2017 gems the year after that. What a great way to breathe new life into old champs.
Chapter 3 a different story. I’m 52% through chapter 3. Will makea push soon.
Some of the nodes are definitely a bit much.
The degeneration (1.1 and 1.6%) are definitely a unit/cash grab. I think those could be removed.
I will not complain about starburst because I have a 6 star hulk, but it could be too much for people who don’t have him.
Variant was challenging and fun st times, if they got rid of degen then I think this would be amazing. I give it a 9/10 in difficulty and one of the better things they created.
I don’t mind aspect of war on some nodes, it sucked for korg but wasn’t that complete worst. A while map, that’s just cruel lol, it can be countered though so it’s not too bad.
On another note, I did have to clean up this thread a little bit. Let's remember to be respectful and to those who have been flagging, please remember proper use of that button before clicking it.
Hope Variant #2 comes out soon after A6C1, with different class combos.
Unfortunately, this only catered to people who have a large roster and/or specific champions. Sure, you can work with the champs you have but it may make things that much more difficult.
I’m not a fan of Kabam creating content that is immensely difficult but then bring easy counters into the game like Thing. Thing will destroy Chapter 3, but he wasn’t in the game yet. Not to mention, who knows how long it will be before you get the character? In my opinion, for content like this, the ability to acquire specific characters would be best.
I’m got arund the deg with a angela rank4 55. Alest for the last chmaper.
The Quest does not expires. That helps
