So I hated 5*'s when they came in because they completely diminished ppl's efforts and expenditure towards the ultimate goal of 4* over a long period but I was starting to warm to them because, well, I was forced to.
I'm almost a 500k account, have 20 5*, 3 of which are rank 4, and that's with me BUSTING MY BUTT on this game almost relentlessly.
When 5* launched I had a sizeable 4* roster, and a bunch of 5/50's, now when 6*'s launch most ppl will have poor to average 5* rosters at best. Where is the natural progression there? We may as well have skipped the 5* era altogether.
Kabam can say that we'll be able to rank 5 5*'s before 6* launches but realistically how many maxed 5* will ppl have by that point? 1? Maybe 2 if you sell your first born.
This just screams give us more money. This should have been done, if it had to be, way way way in the future.
5 months is all of a sudden! t5 don't exist, t2 alphas are rare. 5*s won't even get ranked before 6*s appear
The Grandmaster Crystal is in addition to the Premium Hero Crystal, although the Grandmaster's 14-Day Calendar will be replacing the 7 Day calendar that grants PHC Shards for Summoners.
And that's not to mention the frustration of people who were striving to reach the top floor in the game, only to realize Kabam is adding another several floors above it. I understand that they want to keep this game alive (milk it) for years to come, but this is just crazy and disheartening.
Actually, there are quite a few 5*'s who are obsolete (KK, Colossus, Groot come to mind). And yes--5*'s did make quite a few of the 4*'s obsolete for elite content.
The real problem is that, unless you are a player at the very top of the game or someone who has been blessed by the 5* RNG genie, you sit on 8-9 T2a and a host of crappy 5* rank-up choices. With this announcement, it is a more than rational response for many to just throw in the towel.

Delete this comment as well if u wish but it's clear from this thread that the majority believe this to be a bad idea, it's hard to be constructive if you don't agree with any of it.
An argument can be made for bringing in 6* at a much later date. But for now it's clear why you are doing it.
I will say that 3s to a great extent became obsolete with the introduction of 5s... I don't see the need to use them in hard content anymore... With the introduction of 6*s, I don't see anyone wanting to use t4cc on 4*s anymore, unless you give t4cc for free on a daily basis
A 4* should be as easy to upgrade to rank 5 as a 3* is now
This is why we're telling you all so far out. This will let you make informed decisions when deciding on which Champions to invest your time and resources into!
ditch the 3* and I would be excited.
Will grandmaster crystals replace PHC for uncollected summoners ? or will I still be opening my 2*s off the PHCs I collect from every other event and arena ?

so this is effectively starting a new race of crystal buying to earn five star champs without shards....unbelievable cash grab. Pretty disgusting honestly
We see where you're coming from, but when 5-Stars were first introduced, while it was possible to fully rank a 4-Star champion, it was something that only a very small handful of players had done, or were able to do. Remember, 6-Stars are going to appear in Content before you can get them, but that doesn't mean it's meant to be all content.
While we are still working on exactly where you'll see them, we do know that they won't be in Act 5 Chapter 3.
That being said, I feel it is still too soon, and they should be in the back half of 2018 at the earliest, with t5b and increased t2a gains coming as soon as possible, so that people have the time to max 5* and use them before worrying about ranking 6*.
How about Act 6?
need to lower the Tier one Alphas or make them more easy to obtain.
Act 5 isnt done yet man where no where near act 6
Obsolete is a very strong word here. Did 5-Stars make 4-Stars Obsolete? 6-Stars are not going to be easy to obtain, and then will be more difficult to Rank Up. We have lots more planned before 6-Stars ever make it into Player's hands, and that includes making 5-Stars more accessible.[/quote]
5* did not make 4* obsolete, but they did have that effect on 3*. That is a more apt comparison and a real fear for many. Just as 5* made 3* irrelevant, 6* will do the same to 4*, especially with the penalty you get for fighting tougher opponents.
I kinda disagree with that, when 5*s came out I still had about 12-15 r5 4*s at that point and mostly the good ones. Now I have 2 r4 5*s only which is barely a roster. So kinda depressing when I think about continuing this game.
