It should be 2016 champs this time around...I still have all three of my 2015 R4 rank gems, two mystic and 1 cosmic and without SW, DS, Gamora and Thor not even eligible, it’s not even worth using them on someone else. I’d rather save the gold and ISO....
@Kabam Miike think you can talk to the game team about making it 2016 gems? Almost all of the 2015 champs are still old and most have maybe 5 sentences total in there abilities while the new champs have 5-10 paragraphs.
It’s like giving someone a chance to win a car (2015 R4 Gem) that barely works and won’t help you get from point A to B (Questing) Why would I even put gas in it? (Gold/ISO)

And now the prize is to get three more?
A) There's over 200 posts and this has been discussed at length.
its a 2015 quest so we get 2015 gems
C) there are many 2015 champs that are still worthy of being ranked up. The class distinction does present a small problem though.
D) These gems are about and easy way to increase your roster depth. Champs like Ultron aren't worth using t2a to bring up to R4 anymore, but would still be worth a gem.

Then you can use them since you like them so much...I’m sure 99% of the players would prefer to see more champs to use those gems on...
Especially since for some summoners who finished the first Variant early, they were able to use them on all champs, not just 2015. And these rank ups were never rewinded like the whole T5C fiasco was taken back.
So, are we going to get answershere about the nodes poorly worded? Talking about "Heavy machinery" node indicating it will only interact with "Buffs", and "Supernova" node that does nothing for the Thing
It's interesting to me that there is more outrage over the 2015 rank up gems then the what seems to be requirement to use XL champs. The XL pool really kind of blows and of my 10 6*s, 4 rank 5 5*s and over a dozen rank 4 5*s not one is XL. I'd rather not but might need to rank up Venom, Rulk or Ghulk for this unless I get lucky and pull a Thing in a few weeks when he's added to the basic.
This is worse then no 4*s in act 6 imo. Just hope I don't pull more mutant 2015 gems (x2 so far lol)

You dont need to use XL champs. They are just the only champs that are completely immune to glancing in this quest. Other sizes are only immune on specific attacks like specials or heavies
Is Variant 2 going to be as much of a shameless cash grab as Variant 1? I mean, you all know it's a joke when you have Magik Limbo damage doing 1k per tick and outside of GHulk there's no way to avoid it triggering 3/4 times you push her to a bar of power? Not to mention the starburst and degen paths. Will we have to whale our way through Variant 2.0 also? Why don't you cut out the middle man and just post the Variant rewards for 15k units now?

Variant was the first end game content added in ages. People are looking forward to Variant 2 because they enjoyed Variant 1. I hope they add more shameless cash grabs on which I will spend $0.

That argument might be valid if they only put 2015 defenders in the quest.

And 2015 nodes. So this is beginner difficulty?
Just tired of the argument it’s a 2015 quest so you only get 2015 gems.

Well it is literally the reason its being done so...

I could whale out and spend my way past Variant, but instead I'm taking it slow, practicing against every fight so that I can do it not only without spending units, but without spending all my potions either. It has been a long time since there was permanent content that I could do that with: that was hard enough that I could practice for weeks without being able to just destroy it, but would actually still be around long enough for me to practice on. The last time I did that, it was against RoL. I do take practice runs on Labyrinth but to be honest a LoL run would take up so much time that I don't currently want to devote to it, and I can't just stick champs in there and take my time because they would be tied up.
Variant is perfect for someone who wants to work their way up without spending. If you want to get better at this game, are willing to practice at it, are willing to accept temporary failure in the process, and have the discipline to not spend, Variant is not a cash grab at all. If you're someone that believes they deserve to complete everything instantly, and if they can't do it without spending then they will just spend past the content and then complain about the fact that they were "forced" to spend past the content, then Variant is probably a thorn in your side. But that's your problem, not the game's problem. Maybe Variant isn't meant for you. Maybe its meant for the players for whom it *isn't* a cash grab. Maybe the fact that you think it is a cash grab is actually a red flag you're supposed to not ignore.

There are literally parts of Variant which cannot be cleared without A: the correct 2-3 champs or B: dumping pots and revives. I am mostly talking about chapter 3, where the degen, direct damage, power gain, and punishment for buffs (**** you cosmic class) is rampant. Cosmic and Science is by far my best class: R5 Corvus duped, R4 Hype duped, R4 CaIW Duped, 6* Rhulk, R3 Quake, VTW, Wasp, Proxima, 5/50 Void etc. But the fact that I don't have a GHulk means I have to spend. It's just aggravating.
And it begins! Remember everybody, Variant is going to be hard! Luckily, you're surrounded by Summoners that are very talented. If you have trouble, don't be afraid to come back here and ask questions. Chances are somebody here would be happy to help you find a solution.

Hahahahaha no way
Keep it up Kabam. Legitimately made me laugh.

Not a cash grab, an exercise in patience.

This way its "fun and interactive"
Looks like there are 2 5* crystals. Most likely just a typo in announcement.
