A lot of negativity and complaining surrounding the forums lately...... So I'm going to give D3 credit where it is due.

The champion feature is incredibly refreshing and some of the most fun I've ever had in MPQ. A great way to increase a sense of progression/rewards and breathe new life into old favorites.

Just wanted to break up the hate a bit and say thanks for adding such a fun and meaningful feature to extend the lifespan of a great game. Well done D3 and I hope to see many more positive changes soon.

Suddenly I'm excited to win old 3/4* again which is very cool and gives us all more to chase.

    I agree. I haven't been this excited to open my Standard tokens since 1* Spidey's release and 2* Bullseye's third power.

    It definitely helps soften the sting of pulling 2*'s and dup 3* covers. It also serves as sort of an enhancement to the SHIELD Daily Supply as well since Championing reward path is very similar.

    Other than a little stress to grind ISO before some old covers expired, I've been loving it. Now instead of chanting two star in a bad way when opening event tokens, I am hopeful it is one I need. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Did someone ask you to complain about the complainers? Or break up the hate? ON THE INTERNET, at that? lol

    The feature is cool.

    Agreed! The champion feature added excitement to token draws that you sold with a yawn earlier. I've never felt so poor on ISO but I hope that will be addressed too soon.

    I have the same... 2*.... maybe it's Storm... nope, Moonstone. Well - I get you next time.


    This is all fine but it will only last for couple of weeks (I have all 4 2* on my roster at 105+ already; don't intend to add others unless roster spots are free and iso is falling like rain). Oh well - it's still a blast

    I enjoy it as well! It's fun to receive prizes instead of just selling all my 2s and 3s. There is an excitement to level up all my remaining 3s and 2s before their 14th covers expire, but I'm not too concerned. If I can't champion them in time, I'll just sell the cover and try again later on, when a new 14th cover arrives.

    I even feel lucky enough to have two 4*s championed (thor and fury), which is great because I seem to get a new cover of each of them at least once per week, which would've been a huge letdown in the past but now is great to power them up for pvp and sim plus get cool prizes.

    Agreed, it's nice to open a Standard or Heroic token and have a good chance of getting something that will make a tiny, but positive impact on your roster, instead of just selling them all for ISO.

    Once DDQ starts rolling back to the more popular characters (and repeats) that'll be fun, too. It'll also give us a chance to stockpile ISO.

    There have been some odd results, like my Hood now tanking all colors over my Black Panther. It's a lot harder to track down some characters, too, now that everyone's been shuffled. No major complaints, though.

    Now, just figure out a way to get me one lousy OML yellow cover and I'll be happy. Pending whatever's going to happen to the in-game economy on Thursday, of course.

    The game was getting stale as I waited to win or pull a 4* that would actually help me progress (and that was few and far between).

    Champions allowed me to burn 1 million ISO in one day - and I loved every minute of it!
    Now I actually have to think strategically about how I'm going to spend my next stash, and it's nice having a bunch of 4* who just became usable. The game just became fun again.
    Kudos to the devs.

    It's definitely helped breathe some life back into the game for me. It's probably the best addition to the game since the DDQ.

    Exactly my sentiments OP, feels great to be really enjoying progress again, even if it technically it delays levelling 4* for me in my transition.

    It just seems everything is going right. Even outside of championing I've antman from the vault and x23 from the doom pvp, and with 25CP I just pulled my 3rd X23 of the week to take her to 2/2/4. Tomorrow I'll champion daken and add 6 covers, love it.

    Also, as annoying as ISO shortage is, I'm enjoying the strategy of figuring out where to spend it based on my recruit queue icon_e_smile.gif

    I agree I love the new feature but answer me this. How happy will you be at the end of next season when you open up your 10 pack. Will you still be happy to see those 2's? I have seven 2's champed and covered from 120 to 135. Basically, if you play enough pvp, sim and LR's then your 2's will be covered very very soon. Do you build more 2's and start from scratch?

    Great feature! Thanks for turning the worst feeling in the game (getting a dupe 4* cover from a legendary token) into a pretty good feeling, assuming it's someone you have maxed:)

    The Champion feature has done something I wasn't sure possible. It's made me want to play the game again.
    I was playing anyway, but mostly dipping into PvP to try and hit 1000 and get a single 4* cover. I wasn't doing PvP unless there was something new in it.

    Now I look forward to playing, getting more ISO so I can champion a 3* I have a spare cover for and get a free 4* (hopefully something new).

    I actually feel like I have a reason to play again. So absolutely thank you for that =)

    Happy to see everyone United and happy about something here. I was worried this topic would derail but nice that we can all agree this is a great addition.

    Thanks for keeping it positive !

    I love it!

    When I think about it, Champion levels are effectively a second "Level Shift" (remember that?) aimed at rebalancing the rarity tiers. But instead of just changing around the 2*/3*/4* health and match damage curves in an instant, they made it a fun feature where we earn the level shift over time. We also get to re-spec characters, but only if we earn it. This is how you rebalance the game in a way that just about everyone can enjoy.

    Very clever. I'm honestly impressed.

    I actually wasn't disappointed when my 2x 10 packs from season rewards turned out to be 20x 2*, what sorcery is this?
