**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

I wouldn't call them Garbage Filler Champs, but the rest is correct. There is not change coming to the Crystals. There just won't be an announcement in advance anymore.
But, how does not announcing the list curtail ‘hoarding’? If I, a mentally unstable hoarder, can look at the current featured and the upcoming I can decide if saving for the next is better or cashing in on the current is better. But, if I can’t sit back and weight my option and the next crystal is too risky, then that forces me to hoard even longer, till the next featured. The basic pool is so diluted with less desirable champs it doesn’t make sense a lot of times to go for them, so I wait for a featured crystal with a better chance of a champ I want. This will ultimately force me, and folks like me, to hold shards even longer.

I actually agree, this will make me hoard even longer waiting for the best champ I can get. But why listen to your customers?
You should be working on MORE transparency, not less. People need to make more informed decisions, not blindly doing something that will be obsolete in the next content update.
I mean seriously. Obviously there won't be any transparency about the lack of transparency, but you guys need to rethink this horrible shift. Of course, you are just doing what corporate tells you, but take it back to THAT team... that they are really shooting themselves in the foot..
Cavalier crystals may inflate your quarter, but won't save this game.
If it legitimately is unhealthy for the game then there should be no featured and champions should be released into main pool immediately upon release. The logic here is strange to say the least.
Buying units and gambling on a champ is good
The difference is.. by saving kabam makes 0 ...
I've never seen a company exposing itself this much.
May as well go all the way guys!
They are really dumb now LOL
We can no longer plan how to use our 5* shards that can help for progression? What next? We can't even see what champs are in the featured crystal?
They need to see a doctor for mental counseling.
By the way, from what I see this particular action will only make more players hoard 5* shards in a hope that there's a champ that can help with their game progression (if the players are patient enough to hoard).
If there's no good champs, they can just pop open basic 5* crystal after that.
Can you please save everyone some time and plainly tell us how we should be using our shards instead of trying all these different things to passively influence our behavior?
"Attention Summoners. Going forward you can no longer see who's in what crystal for the health of the game. Players were excessively stressed out when knowing what champs were in crystals and were very disappointed when they didn't pull the one they wanted. To decrease the amount of stress in the game we aren't telling you who's in what crystal anymore."
3 weeks later....
"Buy your own Scouter lens crystal badge to see who's in crystals! Only 1000 units. Lasts for the duration of this crystal only. Each crystal is random per person so information can't be shared."
But don’t you see? The subtle and granular changes like these only point to the real “end game” intent... they want to drive as many players away from the game as possible! It’s the only logical explanation! I mean, how else can you justify exploiting competition among the player base to reap as much profit as quickly as possible? Just think about how the system is set up. Really makes no sense to have been playing the game for as long as some people have and invested as much to still not have certain champs to overcome certain content. It all goes back to the big 12.0 nerf. Their reasoning for that was to “ensure that people didn’t feel like or have to use specific champs to be competitive or clear certain content, blah blah blah...”. Funny how that held eh? Just look at the new champions being released, content like Variant, and so on. Basically, it’s about one thing and one thing only. I think we all know what that is. The real reason the big nerf happened and small ignorant changes like not announcing upcoming champs in new crystals to try and curb player strategy, is to give them much more control over financial projections! This is greed at its finest. Not like they are struggling to keep their head above water lmao. Steve Jobs said it best “Milk the cow for all it’s worth and move on to the next big thing.”
Kabam: "Hey Miike - go justify these changes on the forums. Just say something like 'we've said this is bad for the game for years.'"
Miike: "Is it Thursday already?"
It would be like grinding a blind arena and get whatever champ u decide to mail...
The only unhealthy thing in the game is that they allow players to buy hundreds of crystals, how could it be "unhealthy" to accumulate crystal shards, but dont find it "unhealthy" to buy five hundred or thousand crystals with units? There is no logic...
What he didn’t say was why it’s unhealthy from a game perspective other than it wasn’t intended.
