And I don't care what anyone wants, I only respond to what they say.
Where we apparently disagree is whether a game developer has the right to ameliorate that situation in extreme cases by adding roster prerequisites. I believe they do, and I think the vast overwhelming majority of game developers also do, based on their analogous behavior. You want them to be forced to only do what they've done in the past, and you believe that twitch skill should be the only kind of game play that is progress-gate worthy. I fundamentally disagree with that.

Actually I'm in disagreement on this gate for 2 reasons
A- the one week notice about the 4* ban. It's a very restrictive ban from a game team saying they want to encourage people to use more of their rosters yet removing 80 to 90% of a lot of players rosters at the same time. Developers want to add a hard gate like this I'm fine with it but be up front about it and let the player base know well in advance. If they want this gate it should have been added for 6.2.
B- kabam has been selling 4* offers for rankup and awakening of champs while saying to the community 4*s are still a very relevant part of the game and will remain so for some time. This to me is a flashback to pre 12.0 when they released the awakening offer and rankup offer knowing they were going to nerf the champs 1 month later.
I would be siding with you on the gate had notice been given to the player base a reasonable amount of time before the act 6 release date. I could have even excepted it a month ago when they started sending out the cryptic messages ingame. I will continue to side with the majority on this forum thread though because I believe how this gate was put in place was wrong. Move it to 6.2 and move the cavalier title as well if you want to but kabam should do something to show the players they are willing to compromise and this wasn't a giant money grab leading up to this.
Unless you think that Kabam saw the thread blow up, decide to scramble up an early access preview, made the game changes necessary to do that, contact the content creators, and gotten opt-in replys all within less than one day. Kabam couldn't move that quickly if the building was on fire.
Just quickly popping in here to share a few things.
1- 4* ban is cheap and nasty as hell, a sleazy back handed slap in the face of we’ll all summoners not just the mid tier players.
2 - nodes you have showed to be in act 6 so far are fairly specific and less we forget there are path nodes + global + many of newer champions require specific matchups - that filters out 95%+ champions in game - like let’s say caustic temper - need poision immune with fury - realistically people only have ranked up medusa and or hype or
Maybe ghost that can deal with that - narrowing it down to 3-4 champions in game that are not absolute trash for all other scenarios - it is stupid as hell if only 5* or 6* are allowed as statistically it is likely many summoners don’t have any of those.
3 - preview of 1.1 means absolutely squat when it comes to rest of the content (can’t compare 5.2.1 to 5.2.6 in difficulty)
On my channel I posted few ideas how to rectify this for Kabam,
Main one - release in game * boost* that increases 4* champion level by 1 for set amount of time - sprinkle them throughout 6.1 and perhaps store (for some gold and with daily limit )
And this whole issue goes away - 4* still banned but if we really need some utility of synergy champions we have acces to them.
End of story.

2. There are most likely a number of options, which is one of the purposes of releasing content to the CCs, so they can explore it and share their ideas and thoughts on how to get through it. It may however, require people to explore Champs not commonly used. That's not a bad thing. It's very limiting to play one way ad infinitum.
3. It pertains to 6.1. The rest of the Chapter is nowhere near ready to be released.
You then said I was telling developers they cant create gates. I believe I covered that in my previous post. Gates are fine but the way this gate was given to the community was not
