The addition of Supports seems like a copycat slap-on that was wholly unnecessary for a game like MPQ, and for those who are arguing that they'll be cool someday give them a couple years - okay, I can do that, but in the meantime is it unfair to compare the stagnation of MPQ with other innovative mobile games? No, I don't think so. Especially when members of this forum have stuck with this game for 5 years and are willing to continue playing (and investing) for 5 more.8 -

If you look at the updates that MPQ have made since its inception, there have been many major updates. If you were to play MPQ after these major updates were made, you're not going to feel that there's any major update.0 -

Anyway, I play two other Android games regularly: Gems of War & Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. In the past few months (and in a month or so to come), each of these games is/has gone through significant updates.
MPQ: Supports & Red ISO-8, a new 4 or 5 star every other week
Gems of War: Pets, Doom Skulls, 2x new Guild Warish things (Invasion & Raid Boss), 1x new Individual Game (Bounty), Addition of various Orbs (as rewards), Various Character updates & introductions (weekly)
Star Wars: Bounty Hunter Updates & Perks, Ship Updates, 1x New Raid Boss, New Daily Events, Various Character updates & introductions
*I am sure that I am forgetting some updates for the latter two, for the number of sheer updates they are performing*
This struck me recently, as I played these games. Demiurge would do well to notice. They are getting left behind. Personally, I find myself putting more time into the other games, and struggling to fine a reason to play MPQ.
However it's a very different game from when I used to play it 2 years ago. My favorite change is the animation speed-up X4. I do miss the crazy Monday hauls. Participating in my first Guild War now.

If a company wants a continuing revenue stream from customers, they need to offer something new. Regular character releases help, but there is diminishing returns as the roster grows. Every so often, you need something that shakes up play more drastically.
Supports are obviously Demiurge's answer to this, but they feel pretty thin right now. Even if we ignore their effectiveness, it feels like much less effort has been put into them than actual characters. There's only one piece of art per support (and now we've got six new supports with essentially the same art). There is no narrative description for any of the powers. They have no animations to sell the story that they're helping out in the battle. All up, it makes it hard to care.

What was the last major improvement to the game as a whole? Not something that only helps some people... but a really good change? In my opinion, bonus heroes SHOULD have been, but the RNG/poor odds took that down to a “yay?”. For me, champing and shield ranking were the last ones that mattered... even though they made it worse with the XP changes IMO.
Ddq update? Pfffft Needs more updating
vaulting/unvaulting? We have been over this ad nauseam
new pve events? Decent but nothing super awesome
5* feeders only help some of us, SCL9 is underwhelming
supports? I’m not super enthused but I will give it time to “get there”... even at its best, it’s not the change I would hope for
So so for me, it’s been a LOOOOONG time since I said “wow this is awesome”, and more often than not I have been saying “meh, ok” or even worse, “that’s what they have been working on?!”
