EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE CONCLUDED
The Team has identified a fix for the recent Catalyst Offer issue.
Summoners who purchased this offer have been temporarily locked out of the Contest to Clawback any Catalysts bought/used while active, and ensure previously owned resources remain intact.
They will be unlocked once this process is complete, and no further action will be taken on their Accounts - along with a compensation package to those affected for the inconvenience.
Doing this allows us to bring the Game back up for everyone else.
We've removed the affected offer so we can decide later whether or not to bring it back after it's been fixed.
Additionally, all summoners can expect a general compensation package due to this Emergency Maintenance interrupting their play session.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

How many docks does it take for players to stop modding in AW Seasons?

And all you want to talk about is how you haven’t beaten the collector yet or played above gold 3. Please stay on topic and stop trying to derail the conversation.
While being recorded, he took a void on the bleed node in old war setup using zero bleed immune champs and did it in 20 seconds and lost zero health. That was after killing an r5 Killmonger on node 29 and losing zero health with no champ that could clear it (I’m talking 4* champs that inflict debuffs). Also on video. Then he soloed our boss in less than 30 seconds, lost zero health. Also on video.
It was a very close war—my memory is that they needed to die one or two times and we won. We had the war won bc their backup had already went somewhere else and the guy sitting at node 29 didn’t have any champs that could clear the remaining nodes. But then he cleared with modding.
Not only did kabam not end up docking that ally for this—they ended up in masters they season. Multiple allies faced them and same issues. Losing out on that war bonus also likely cost us plat 1.
That is a war I can 100% say we would have won had the other side not cheated. To say that we know they take it seriously bc they have “told us” they do is laughable. One of the allies siting toward the top of masters currently modded all last season and has already been caught on video modding this season.
1. Review war activity of the alliance who’s members were season 9-10 offenders. It’s currently a highly ranked master bracket alliance and many legitimate players are affected every war (reporting them to support did not help so far).
2. We need a better long term solution before next season starts. Faster/ better mod detection and clear message to hackers that game integrity matters (ban policy needs an update).
I'm far more familiar with piloting as it's freaking impossible to get the person who did it to admit it and my old Alliance was docked several times for it.
Perhaps all of us should create a sub-alliance consists of mod accounts. Its ok to get dock, the idea is to get competitor of the main alliance lose points during war. Good idea ?
This is a slow moving game and player investment is insane:
Years of roster development
Years of learning
Thousands of hours grinding
Thousands on offers
...so some kid can waltz in with a hack and make it all a joke???
The only reason we play is because we think it's a fair game, but that's not the case anymore and you're doing nothing meaningful about it.
A simple dock at the end of a season won't do anything. The damage is already done to innocent teams, and it hasn't stopped the same hackers from doing it again the next season.
Anyone caught hacking or botting needs a permanent ban. Rehabilitation doesn't work.
These cheaters are your enemy because they're poisoning the well and killing your game from the inside out. You're crazy if you think anyone will spend on a champ so some twerp can run a mod and clear it in less than 20 seconds.
Hacking is a cancer that will kill any competitive game, and MCOC is no different. Once it reaches a certain level where it's too common, it becomes "one of those games" that no one touches because cheaters have tainted it.
Kabam, tell us what you're going to do about it.
Let's also note that if those that would cheat in AW were locked out for a Season, perhaps the next one would be fought on even ground. Seeing as how they couldn't join in, it would definitely lessen the chances of running into someone who's utilizing mods. Now I do to a certain extent agree that those who repeatedly utilize them, even after point docks and bans aren't likely to change.
However if the punishments changed, and scaled per repeated infraction (1st offense - 1 Season Ban; 2nd offense - 2 Season Ban; 3rd offense - 6 month AW Ban) they might be more inclined to stop doing it. However, after 3 offenses and 9 months total being locked out of AW... yeah, they'll never learn. At which time, adios MCoC privileges. What else can be done at that point?
Sits back and bot the auto reply !
I did waste my time , my energy , but Kabam doesn't care of what's going in the game ! I sent them proof of Modding , sent them profiles of being people Cavaliers with rank 1 5* ! Snapshot of a guy we were facing in war having Ultron Omega with no good roster !
Man , am already loosing the interest in the game , don't want that to happen , but Can't Stop , Won't Stop ! I'll sure delete this game once we Face Modders in Aw again !
This game is now broken guys
Disagreeing with these concepts does not decrease their validity:
However in real life it is quite common for organizations to make details available to everyone to “set an example” and establish a precedent everyone will follow. This is HR 101, not game of thrones 😂
