4* Rank 5 are Challenger Rating 100
5* Rank 3 are Challenger Rating 100
Banning / gating 4* in favour of 5* makes no sense based upon Challenger Rating. They're essentially the same thing!
Selling 4* then banning / gating their use in content deserves to be investigated by more legally-trained minds than mine - but it comes across as dishonest and disreputable. Crystals with less than 1% rates... This all comes across as so greedy - and why? You guys can do better than this. Don't pull a Trudeau Wilson-Raybould stunt. Let's go Canadian Companies - be better than this.
Everyone who likes the game wants to like the company but your actions make it too easy to dislike the company...
Where this leads can be problematic—if, for example, there are combo gates...imagine a path that requires 2 Mystic 6* champs. I have none. In fact, I don’t have a Mutant 6*. A path or a quest with a Mystic/Mutant 6* prerequisite leaves me out. If, as @DTMelodicMetal suggests, this is a potential developer theme going forward, the answer for me going forward is an easy one. In essence, “git gud” has become “git lucky.”

An important thing I learned is this: If you can’t easily explain a thing to someone else, it’s usually baloney. Charlatans and hoodwinkers hide behind jargon.

Why you defend terrible ideas like this dude. This is a way to get called out for the terrible points and keep be the first too say all these terrible ideas they bring are like the best idea and can’t be topped?
They’re waiting for us to hit peak rage, possibly around when people start getting their pitchforks and start thinking about boycotting. Once that happens they’ll make an announcement. They’ll say something like “we apologize, we’ve listened to your feedback and criticism. So here’s a compromise” and they’ll announce slightly less stricter champion requirements or whatever their real goal is.
After that, the community will see the post. Of course, people will still be upset that there’s champion requirements but they’ll settle for it since it isn’t as harsh as what Kabam initially announced. The community will calm down and behave and Kabam would’ve gotten what they really wanted. It’s what happened with the OG gods nerf (SW, Thor, BW, DS). This is no different. Idk, maybe I’m talking nonsense but I’ve been playing since this game released, this isn’t new.
If the community as a whole is really against the champion bans, stand your ground. 4 stars can still hold their own in game, especially endgame as it’s more about your skill than what champions you have. There’s no reason for champion requirements, but that’s just my two cents, what do I know.
*Sidenote for MODs
I don’t see how this post would be offensive, or in any way against the policies for the forums. Granted I haven’t been on here since last year. Please don’t message me about being banned (if y’all still do stuff like that), I don’t really care as I won’t be on here regardless if I’m banned or not. If this is taken down, just take it down. Please dont message me, I don’t need to be threatened for speaking my mind on a public forum. Thank you.
As a mostly f2p player I have grown skills to get through all of your content that I see beneficial with the roster I have. Currently I’m not overly impacted by this decision but once champion requirements fullly cut me off from progression through content because I won’t:
A. Buy your garbage deals
Or
B. Grind my life away in a plat ally
I am out. I nearly quit once back with the AW change fiasco a year and a half ago that was a huge money grab. Got pulled back in 8 months later. This year based off what I am seeing my road may finally be coming to a close. You don’t care about players “frustration” as seen by you adding straight trash to 6* crystals, silently altering AI, and constantly changing the rules in your favor.
Every 5 star arena gives out 150 champions twice, leading to a maximum of 300 new 5 stars being handed out every week. Is it reasonable to only give access to a champion to 300 people? Arena is the only way to build your rosters without relying on rng, and there's a plethora of real life events that can prevent you from grinding out 20+ million points for even the worst of the champions offered. It only gets worse with the additional comments by @Kabam Miike. Requiring a certain amount of 6 stars for a quest is beyond ridiculous. 6 star champions can only be acquired through RNG, there's no arena for them. So you're essentially crippling the champions someone with bad luck can bring to the quest.
The response to the community backlash seems to extremely off base. The reasons being used aren't logical and aren't addressing the points being made. I like this game, I've been playing it every day since March 13th, 2015. I don't want to see it go the way of Realm of The Mad God. I just don't see how these champion restrictions can remain in place without alienating the playerbase. Why invest into a game that won't reward that investment?
I await additional responses from Kabam employees and the videos from the selected Content Creators. Don't let us down, if loyalty isn't rewarded it will be discarded.
Absolutely one of the reasons the community is upset is the synergy opportunity using 5* and 4* in a team... another is the money, time and resources invested into a 4* roster. There are many justifiable reasons. Good discussion.
Why the 6* requirement?
Sigh.
It was bad enough with the 4 / 5 * issue and the terrible explanation for the 5* only requirement. Now there’s a 6* requirement?!
Stop this Kabam. Just do the right thing and buy the bag. Aka get rid of gating now and forever.
