I personally believe in better communications between players and game developers and I've fought for that myself in the past. But yeah, that's not going to happen. It might make him effective in War on that node, but it does NOT make him an effective champ for people trying to progress through end content and the like of LOL.

This change is a direct response to people wanting Blade, and not going for Sentry and other new champs! Blade is too good! Please don't nerf Blade!!!! Nope! No change to the Blade Featured Hero Crystal. We made an exception for Blade because we know how many of you were saving Shards for him. How about Medusa and Memphisto reruns? Are they coming back in reruns or they will be cancelled? Thanks

As it stands now, unless there are several champs of the 24 I want, there doesn't seem to be anything to make it worth the extra 5k shards. Also, your servers are down again @Kabam Miike .

Kabam Miike wrote: » Just talked to the team, and they are comfortable with sharing the list of Champions we plan to include in the first Featured Champion Crystal. It's important to note that this list could still potentially change a little before the release, but the selected Champions are based on empirical data showing their effectiveness as 5-Star Champions in both Alliance Quests and Alliance Wars. Beast Storm Cable Cyclops (New Xavier School)Thor (Ragnarok) Taskmaster Agent Venom HawkeyeModok Sentry Void Ant-Man Mordo Thor (Jane Foster) Loki JuggernautHela Phoenix Ronan Venompool Nebula Punisher (2099) Civil Warrior Doctor Octopus Bold Text denotes Featured Champions.

Any champion released before February 13th will still have the old style Featured Hero Crystal. So that means Void, and the new Champion on February 1st, but neither of them will have a re-run of their Crystal. Any Champion released after February 13th will not have a specific Featured Hero Crystal.
SMiller80 wrote: » Hyperion Stark Spidey Starlord Phoenix Magik Ghostrider Iceman Archangel Quake Voodoo Gwenpool Rogue Hulk Ultron Yondu Angela X23 These are the champions that I would consider worthy of r4 or r5 as 5*s. I know there's some debate about some on the list, and you could probably add some. Different strokes for different folks, and all that. But here's the thing: no one wants to r4 any of the basic 5*s that you're putting into the featured. They might be forced to in some situation, but that's it. Forced. There are some in there who are okay, and who you wouldn't want to shoot yourself after pulling (here's looking at you, Iron Patriot). What I don't get is why you didn't even include ONE of the champs listed above. Don't put all of them in, or even a quarter of them. But why not at least two or three? It doesn't seem logical to me. I know people are always going to complain about change, and frankly that seems to be what the forums are designed for. I don't mind the change myself. And if you were to list a couple of the ones above, that I don't have already, in the featured crystal, I might think about it. But with all of those in the basic crystal, and none of them in the featured, I can't see you selling many. Hela isn't that good.

I know you won’t because you make many decisions without communicating with the player base (not that you have to) but if you want to make more money, make this game and that in the game more desirable and in working order. The better you make this game in the eyes of players the more we will spend because we have some faith in Kabam. Not sure where you got Agent Venom on the "don't really want" list from. He's got some good utility with 50% evasion reduction (+30% on L1) and 70% chance to shrug off debuffs. He's a bit of a niche champ, but I use my 5/50 AV once in awhile. He was great vs Uncollected Void in this month's event quest to shrug off the degen debuff and took off about 40-50% health off Void. I've used AV on my AW tier 1 attack "B" team when my top team was tied up in map 6 vs a stun immune Spidey mini-boss.
